Folks, THIS THREAD ISN'T EVEN ABOUT THE TIMELINE.
We've wandered a bit far afield from the original topic anyway. Let's see if we can get back on track... One thing I've really come to appreciate...
I'd either forgotten that or never knew, as I don't rewatch ENT a whole lot. Thanks!
I should've figured that some people here would take a simple joke WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY too seriously. :rolleyes: Exactly. The episode was written by...
I don't think any episodes say that they take place in the 22nd Century, but "Space Seed" and "Tomorrow is Yesterday" both say it's been 200 years...
I'm fine with the characters being a bit different. I'm not fine with them being unappealing jerks. Nor should they. Really, would it have been...
Who said I'm taking it seriously? I just thought it was a fun idea for a thread.
My understanding is that Roddenberry was not that active on TNG beyond the first two seasons, and even then his health was not in the best of...
No. I was pointing out that it's very possible GR had nothing to do with it. I'm not big on automatically giving Roddenberry credit for every...
The space pirate stuff was not in Ellison's initial version of COTEOF, and was added at Roddenberry's insistence that the ship be in jeopardy somehow.
Yeah, I agree. Kirk and Spock in particular are both FAR removed from their TOS characterizations and consequently not anywhere near as much fun...
Okay, then call it your 30 favorite, then.
So assuming that Fry's ratio of good to bad TOS episodes in Futurama's "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" is accurate, which 30 make the cut for you?...
That was a good episode of Scrubs. Kirk is absolutely the focus of Ellison's script. Yeah, that sounds about right. Hmm... Come to think of it,...
Who said he was opposed to it? I'm just saying that the idea didn't originate with Roddenberry.
I think you've officially thought about this more than the screenwriters.
Tremendously unlikely. It's not like Star Trek writers follow a secret grand outline GR laid out in 1966 or whatever. They write it project by...
Pretty doubtful that that idea came from Roddenberry, as he passed away in October of 1991, during TNG's 5th season, and First Contact came out in...
Missed that.
