Little Green Men

[xvicente]

Just watched it for the first time. It was delicious trek and as and MA article says, homeage to 50's B-movies. Star Trek lost its time travel 'serious-ness' since IV, so this was as funny as that Futurama episode - what is, very funny. All my thumbs up.

Also, the 3-eyed aliens in the Toy Story series are called LGMs (Little Green Men). Cool.

I could have done without Rom crying for Moogie though.

One of the great things about the episode was seeing Charles Napier again, nearly 30 years after his turn as Adam the Space Hippie in TOS: The Way to Eden. Good guys, bad guys, bikers, rednecks, gets his face torn off by Hannibal Lecter, he did a lot of work over the years.

I loved when they thought Quark was the mother.

Didn't she though.

Great episode! I first saw this ep with a roomful of fans while attending a meeting of some regional Trek fan club. (Sadly, the location escapes me.) It was a big hit with all present.

FYI: I can't resist pointing out that Dayton Ward's new novel, IN HISTORY'S SHADOW, is very much a follow-up to this ep, featuring some of the same guest-stars. A bit more serious in tone, though.

I just had a thought about Odo's time as the dog in this episode.

Some time before returning to the present with Nog and Quark and Rom, Odo must have been temporarily transported to Canada of a few decades later. There, he became known as the Littlest Hobo...

It's not as good as the Futurama episode. I mean, hell, Fry becomes his own grandfather... and the guy who was SUPPOSED to be his grandfather is a closeted gay man. But Little Green Men is pretty damned close.

My favourite part was when they were speaking in Ferengi because their universal translators were malfunctioning, and the only comprehensible part was "Oo-mox?"

I like Rom's growing excitement when he sees Miss Garland fiddling with her bobby pin, and everything he says is still in Ferenginese. I'm glad they didn't subtitle any of it.

I liked it when Nog is going through the tour book and finds the picture of Sisko as Gabriel Bell

I love this episode, a true classic.
