Dude, he was making a joke.

...when they were heading to Vic's. This was clearly a comedy episode... or at least, it was trying to be. Trying TOO hard to be one. Most of the jokes fell flat. It felt too forced. The funniest bits were subtle things that weren't even dialogue... like Pike taking Batel's sorbet. (Credit to...

That's my point -- the title of the show is itself a joke, a pun on "genie" and the opening line of Stephen Foster's song "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair," so if they'd extended the joke as one would expect, then Jeannie would have had light brown hair. Instead, they let Barbara Eden stay blonde.

...origin was reiterated in I Dream of Jeannie: Fifteen Years Later). Maybe she still has residual human plumbing? :confused: Maybe it was a joke? William Asher and Sidney Sheldon produced and created The Patty Duke Show together (Asher coming back to direct I Dream of Jeannie: Fifteen...

...or background alien characters. - Spy and catch human moments. Get candid thoughts. Catch crewmembers gossiping. Ensigns playing practical jokes or Enterprise Bingo. Uncover secret (failed) romances. Secret traumas. Secret hobbies they might be embarrassed to admit they’re into (call back to...

...there was supposed to be one a few years ago with Robin as the villain and the Sheriff as the hero. Christian Bale was to be Robin, leading to jokes that he would now have played Batman and Robin. I think this may have gradually transformed into the Ridley Scott/ Russell Crowe one. Pretty...

Go rewatch TOS because in TOS all the Vulcans we saw were Jerks Sarek - Haughty jerk who even lies to his wife. Was even more of a jerk in STIII:TSFS when he came to visit Kirk on Earth as he completely jumped to conclusions prior to the encounter. T'Pau - Dislikes humans immensely and looks...

I saw it as the joke being on the 'fake' Vulcans for being assholes. The genuine Vulcans in the episode, Spock and Doug were decent people. Perhaps having all four as arrogant pricks was a bit over the top, but I doubt, even with a fictional race, ALL Vulcans are stoic, wise and intelligent...

nailed it....as stated in another thread, you have to expand the characters personalities in order to create or find humor...in seasons one and two everyone was still too stiff for there to be any sort of humor...but in later seasons the humor became character specific, meaning different types...

Close! The discernible versus readable thing is interesting but there is one more layer to it. If something isn't perfectly readable but can be discerned to within a set of one, then it is perfectly reasonable to treat it as canon. If the set of possibilities is larger, then it is not so...

...of "Children of the Comet" and "Memento Mori" but at this point the show's spent so much time making lame Star Trek references and boring-ass jokes that the entire thing feels totally hollow. It wants to emulate episodic storytelling but doesn't seem to understand what worked so well about...

..."facts" that may or may not eventually become official. These 2 points are in opposition. You have a subjective standard on what bits are jokes, shortcuts, or gospel. While that might seem an easy thing to discern, it's still a subjective call. Memory Alpha thinks a man named Gene...

...scale, which is what scales are for. If it was just gibberish then there would have been no reason for non-gibberish like "SCALE IN FEET". In-jokes are in-jokes. Half-assery is half-assery. Work well done is work well done. Confounding those to obfuscate the visible reality is icky...

...but has some very funny moments. Deja Q again, a serious premise, but so funny. Schisms, Disaster, Relics all have funny moments. The dirtiest joke (and I find it funny) has to be Riker in "The Perfect Mate", when Riker escorts the empath metamorph lady to her quarters and he resists her...

This.

They named the planet for a sandwich shop for the sake of one throwaway joke that probably 95% of viewers wouldn't get, so yeah, I'd say you are correct about "Doug."

...the original diagram. That's not what is being argued. This is the salient point. If 947 feet is ironclad then so are all the production in jokes. The scale is there to give the graphic extra "texture" not to convey information, just like putting gibberish numbers on a lcars display, or...

@Christopher, SEVERAL of us have commented over the years how you don;t get the joke that the REST OF US got. At times you are like COmmander Data or an alien that doesn't get a human joke. But then, when someone points out a mistake (wher ein not getting a joke, or some other point of...

Quite agree. The vulcans are becoming the butt of jokes. As bad as the ferengi. Its getting tiring. Spock smiling after again at the end. Enough. TOS had some comedy but it didnt feel as farcical or exhausting as the comedy we get in SNW. Also we had 79 eps of TOS and only a couple humorous...

Code of Honor is actually a much better episode than this. It at least has a plot and story. This is just the same joke again and again and again. Episodes with causality loops had less repetition.
