Actors like good words to say. Shatner is Canadian too, but he gave the Preamble a power and authority that embraced the American audience and lifted us up. He was bold and masterful. It was theatrical television. Come the 70s, I was shocked to read David Gerrold trashing the episode in one of...

Being a Canadian, this episode definitely came acoss ( especially later in life) as overtly rah rah American/patriotic. But Regardless of that, It hasn't aged well. Some parts of it I still like weirdly enough ( probably for campy nostalgia) but definitely not one of my favorites. Probably...

You've seen a lot more of the country than I have. I've only been in Alberta and BC, but on the other hand, I've seen a lot of both provinces. I'd love to take a trip on VIA. I was trying to talk my grandmother into it when we still had train service here, but by that time she wasn't into much...

Anything to hook the audience for ratings. Especially as first-run syndication (which didn't stop some stations from making cuts at the time for even the first airing). Only one character in "Blake's 7" where, despite hokey incidental music, was a generally stronger scene, though Tasha's...

I wasn't aware you were Canadian. I suddenly find myself thinking of my first (partially) Canadian vacation. (I don't do single-destination vacations; I like my vacations complicated.) At any rate, it was during the first Trump Administration, pre-COVID, and I'd decided that just in case I...

"What Ships Are For" - 3/5 Stardate 6892.3 - Starfleet dispatches the Enterprise to respond to a remote isolated asteroid calling for help. Let's look at the good stuff first. Cool episode title. And this is a good and interesting story. This is something TOS could have done back in the day if...

Concur 100% - these are all of the things that soured me on the show last year, and made me feel like after a solid first season, it is going steadily downhill.

As you noted earlier, lack of evidence is not evidence; therefore, having no reason to believe she didn’t achieve the actual rank and position of Starship Captain is not evidence that, in the producer’s intent, she did. In my preference and headcanon, and presumably yours, she did, of course...

Yes. What’s in the series — very unfortunately — is a complete lack of actual onscreen female Captains in Starfleet, Number One’s presence being weird to Pike, and — as you point out — the only female starship commander we ever see or even hear referred to is Romulan. I don’t like this, and am...

Not that one, at any rate. :shifty:

Fair. But I think there have already been a couple. Maybe more than a couple. I have no idea what a gimmick episode means. Time travel? Comedy? Alternate universe? Singing? Courtroom? Body swap? Crossover? Strang alien altering reality? Except for the full out musical, nothing there is new to...

I like elements of it, chiefly the espionage shenanigans; my main complaint is that Sisko monologuing straight into the camera is cringe-inducing, and his OTT hang-wringing is out of proportion to what was actually done. So long as the rest of the series doesn't have such fourth-wall-warping...

That's ok. I don't really watch modern shows for classic episodes. It's a weird thing but I think that all time classic things don't really occur to me at my age.

I think Season 2 was a slight disappointment to some because Season 1 was pretty unexpectedly (for a Trek series) solid out the gate, and you'd need to squint to see improvement. Plus there were more "gimmick episodes" (Charades, Those Old Scientists, Subspace Rhapsody) which stand out in these...

Bad ratings. I don't think it's more complicated than that. Which I honestly don't think he is to broke up about. I feel like he has wanted to move on and do movies more than anything, anyways.

S2 took some bigger swings. Both are excellent. But I will grow that minority. I like S2 a touch more. For my money, S1: Excellent to Classic: "Momento Mori," "Spock Amok," "All Those Who Wander". Very good to Excellent: "Strange New Worlds," "Ghost of Illyria," "Lift Us Where Suffering...

Not everybody follows Star Wars performance in the Streaming Wars. That's a niche subject that requires a bit more explanation since most people don't care about how it performs and why it affects Star Wars in the future. Most people only read the big head-lines and calls it a day. They enjoy...

Any list which rates Dramatis Personae and Invasive Procedures as 'Bad' clearly knows a bit about what it's talking about! Though different things are going to seem important to different people. That list of 'major' episodes is great if you want to see lots of Gul Dukat, but if you think the...

We interrupt this circular nonsense for some news from the real world... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/streaming-ratings-may-12-18-2025-1236263981/

I never said I served. I just consider it one of the Greatest War Movies of All Time. But it was also made by Steven Spielberg, and made more recently. So you have a good match made in heaven. Those GraveYard scenes are mostly for economic story telling to convey information in a short...
