I see this has become the official hair thread of the Trekbbs. Which means it is time to start talking about Harry Kim.
That's not a hair discussion, that's a lack of metal on a collar discussion.
Are you saying he would have been promoted if he had had better hair?
If by better hair we mean "different producers."
I still can't get over that musical episode it was fucking great.
Questions does Jess wear a wig and if so why? Her actual hair is great.
Christina Chong is fan bloody tastic..
BTW love the barrel roll that the Enterprise and the Klingon ships did coming out of the anomally at the end because we all know the ships are also cast members and are characters too.

*puts away the champange.*
*Breaks out sparkling Canadian*
WHAT DOES SHATNER HAVE TO DO WITH THIS????
Well, he starred in this 1960's TV called Star Trek, see?
His sparkle is infectious. And with the current exchange rate that's still pretty good.
Never heard of it. Some sort of reality show with celebrities?
No, that's Better Late Than Never. That show was awesome.
No, no, you're thinking of Star Wars.
Well I finally got around to watching season 2, now that I got the Bly-Ray. I was told on here that it was about as good as season one.
However I disagree. I think it's even better than season 1. S1 had a few misses for me, though no downright bad episodes, and Hemmer's demise is still a sore point for me. But aside from a forgetable and dare I say unimaginative first episode, S2 was all good to great.
There are several good character episodes, some fine writing, and a few standout episodes such as the musical and, obviously, the Lower Decks crossover which had me in stiches. But the high point for me remains the second episode, with Number One's trial. That episode is exactly the kind of story that was most memorable about the first few original series; it takes a moral stand through an allegory of modern times, and with some fantastic character moments.
All in all a very good show so far despite my few S1 reservations, and with some incredible visuals, especially of the Enterprise.

Maybe I'm not getting it, maybe I need to rewatch the season but I feel that apart from the really good Lower Decks episode S2 is a weaker sophomore season. I feel a little frustrated with how weak arguments are made in Una's trial with an unsatisfying path to resolution and little headway made in making a better future; there is no point made to beginning systematic change. Khan made an appearance with no discussion towards the consequences of his future self's actions, like the message of the episode there is that he Eugenics War has to happen? Spock and Chapel's relationship isn't a high point, especially Chapel's arc being reduced to pining after Spock. Spock's identity and spectrum struggles misunderstood and reduced to humour and also discrimination(??) as other characters prefer his "all human" side? M'Benga reduced to being a violent man and his entire episode is full of mixed messages as well as a weak response from Captain Pike in the end. The Gorn don't feel like an intelligent species anymore, reduced to something completely animalistic. There is this pervasive idea that Starfleet is important, the institution is important, not the individual, not their worth as an individual but their worth is derived from their role in Starfleet. A lot of ideas and arguments thrown out there across the episodes but no core message. No "this is the correct answer" for systematic change, for a better tomorrow, rather just a bunch of "what do you think is the best option". Where is the struggle, the fight for utopia, the constant betterment of humanity? SNW doesn't go all the way, it's too safe, too milquetoast.
