[CampBOO!]

F'ing Rand and her clumsy fingers.

I always thought Kirk was being too easy on her.

Remember when the transporter split Kirk?
Remember when the transporter combined Tuvok and Neelix?
Remember when the transporter destroyed Sonak?
Remember when the transporter duplicated Riker?
Remember when the transporter made Picard and others kids?
Remember when the transporter made Pulaski de age?

Transporters do weird shit.

You forgot the time they turned some people into worms living in the buffer who bit Barclay.

Yeah. But puppets is way to far into the ridiculous.

Even Spocks Brain looks good compared to some of SNWs episodes. Lol

 

[fireproof78]

Spock's Brain is the nadir of Trek. The worst for my time and money. Puppets don't even come close.

 

[The Gatekeeper]

Just the Gorn egg thing for example. Gorn eggs can't be removed--but can the Gorn eggs even survive if a transporter turns the host into a muppet?

Yes, and then that person gives birth to a muppet Gorn.

 

[The Green Monster]

What would a muppet tribble look like?

 

[CampBOO!]

Yes, and then that person gives birth to a muppet Gorn.

Now I want to see a muppet Gorn.

 

[Tuskin38]

What would a muppet tribble look like?

Animal without a body?

Spock's Brain is the nadir of Trek. The worst for my time and money. Puppets don't even come close.

And the Children Shall Lead is a worse TOS episode, if not quite as dumb.

last episode didn't have a gimmick

It had the black and white setup with coincidentally a planet that just happebed to look like an old noir movie with the clothing. Buildings and vehicles. Thats a huge gimmick. Lol

Clothing isn't a gimmick. TOS did it...several times...

Fun fact: Star Trek is actually from Mayberry.

 

[eschaton]

I think if an episode can be summarized as "what if ____, but in Star Trek" then it's fair to call it a gimmick episode.

Every episode so far this season has been a gimmick episode other than maybe the first, though it was quite heavily playing with Barsoom tropes.

Star trek used to be Scifi fiction. Now it's Science fantasy I guess.

It's always been science fantasy. Nothing else.

Don't like it? I don't care.

And I've no idea what "scifi fiction" is.

American magazine editor, science fiction writer, and literary agent Forrest J Ackerman has been credited with first using the term sci-fi (reminiscent of the then-trendy term hi-fi) in about 1954.[10] The first known use in print was a description of Donovan's Brain by movie critic Jesse Zunser in January 1954.[11] As science fiction entered popular culture, writers and fans in the field came to associate the term with low-quality pulp science fiction and with low-budget, low-tech B movies.[12][13][14] By the 1970s, critics in the field, such as Damon Knight and Terry Carr, were using sci fi to distinguish hack-work from serious science fiction.[15]

Australian literary scholar and critic Peter Nicholls wrote ca. 1993 that SF (or sf) is "the preferred abbreviation within the community of sf writers and readers

If anyone in the science fiction community in 1966 had described Star Trek as "sci-fi," they almost certainly would have been mocking or dismissing it.

Nope.
If you were to remove the B&W it would barely change the story.

And someone would criticize it for not making it black and white to fit with the 40s Casablanca-equese bar thing going on.

Is "Little Ricky" a shout-out to the baby in I Love Lucy or Ensign Ricky (https://familyguy.fandom.com/wiki/Ensign_Ricky)?
