    Ok, just to be clear, was it implied that literal orgies were happening in "Naked Now" or am I being malicious?!?

    Well, yes, of course. Roddenberry wanted to take advantage of the looser censorship of the '80s and show sexuality more openly. So while "The Naked Time"'s disinhibition virus revealed the characters' inner angst and longings, "The Naked Now" was basically about people getting horny and having...

    News Franchises will find a way.....( Jurassic Park 7 planned)

    To go back to how we'd rate them, of course the original is my favorite, but I'd actually put the first Jurassic World as my second favorite, I just thought it was a lot of fun getting to an actual open park before things go to hell. And I like Owen and Claire. I'd put Lost World and Fallen...

    Give me a top 10 list of Deep Space Nine episodes to start watching

    It's just context. The pilot had huge stakes and played big emotions, but the episodes that followed felt inconsequential.

    Give me a top 10 list of Deep Space Nine episodes to start watching

    Fair enough. I would consider it a 4/10 episode, sub-par but not horrible. But episode ratings are subjective.

    The F**k word in Star Trek

    If I recall the new cut got re rated PG due to "a more intense sound mix". MPAA is weird.

    The F**k word in Star Trek

    Four of the five original POTA movies were rated "G" as well. And you got to see Charlton Heston's naked ass in the first one.

    Superman

    Every tv show and movie should have dinosaurs in it. Seems like it would be a sure fie way to get good ratings and make tons of money. I don't think people are ever going to get tired of those movies.

    The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

    Aw, the poor thing. An ignoble fate for a champion. So many questions. So many questions. Really. So many questions. This is pretty interesting, considering overall warming trends. I wonder what brought it on. Don't run, Gerry, walk slowly and carefully! Hmm. "In public." This is such an...

    The Classic/Retro Pop Culture Thread

    50 Years Ago This Week July 6 Ruffian, an American champion filly thoroughbred racehorse who had won the 1975 Triple Tiara (the Acorn Stakes, the Mother Goose Stakes and the American Oaks), raced against a champion colt, 1975 Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure, who had come in second...

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    ...And, again, except for the very tail end of the 1960s, those we did see were all very chaste. That was the prevailing atmosphere on television at the time, and that which existed for movies (The Hays Code was not replaced by the MPAA ratings system until nearly the end of 1968) was almost as...

    The F**k word in Star Trek

    A mild tangent, here's a great B-flick review that is pointed out a few times that it's rated G (and from 1968, woohoo!)... Seriously, you'll be laughing your socks off over what rated "G" allowed back then. "G" for "Gore", obviously... and probabably some D&H pure pottymouth too... Then...

    The F**k word in Star Trek

    :) Fairly often, and the show was sold as "adult science fiction" in early commercials. Usually confined to specific circumstances so that the use of it would remain poignant, with piquancy. TOS has a damn good example of it, yes. Thank Decker for one utterance, Kirk for two... McCoy still...

    Franz Joseph was right!

    My understanding of the physics of magnets is that a magnetic field obeys the inverse cube law, as opposed to the inverse square law of light waves and sound waves. A magnetic field is bi-polar in nature, this explains the comparatively rapid fall off in intensity of a magnetic field - meaning...

    The F**k word in Star Trek

    No. It was a different time. You're judging it by today's standards. Generally speaking, the same applies to TMP.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Scouts in development

    I dunno, Apple+ seems to be doing pretty well with the multiple sftv productions of pretty good quality. No idea about ratings, but I imagine they wouldn’t be spending the money if the viewership hadn’t proved to be there?

    Last Classic Who Story you watched

    The Foe from the Future, which was adapted into audio story, and its also stone-cold classic. Fendahl is a great concept, but like Terminus, it feels defanged and bizarely structured, and so absently directed, that its always a slog of an experience. I genuinely have a hard time enjoying...

    And the Next Cancelled Show is...

    It's probably a combination of factors, like say HBO and Netflix. The calibre of what came out of HBO was something other streaming networks wanted to aspire to. Then Netflix started making originals, but the problem with Netflix, I feel that they quickly became part of the problem by producing...

    Last Classic Who Story you watched

    I'd say Bob Banks Stewart had a slightly better hit-rate - Terror of the Zygons, Seeds of Doom and the story that Bob Holmes developed into Talons of Weng-Chiang. That's three absolute classics, whereas I agree that Fendahl doesn't quite hang together for me as it should. Face of Evil is good...

    The F**k word in Star Trek

    Paramount seems to push the G-rated envelope with their classic hits. John Wayne calls Robert Duvall an SOB while Plasus from CLOUD MINDERS mutters the big GD just before shooting Matty's father, both in TRUE GRIT.

    The Nature of the Universe, Time Travel and More...

    We can't see our own HelioSphere's, the particle density isn't high enough to be observable on the visible spectrum. And since we're inside, I doubt we'd ever see it. I don't think we've seen the HelioSphere's of other Star Systems either, the plasma isn't dense enough to be visible. As long as...
