holograms exist!!!!!!!!!!

i'm officially.... old my life: ruined my joy: gone my hopes: diminishing by this point in his life, captain kirk was already almost actually CAPTAIN motherfucking KIRK so i was talking to my girl friends last night and they were like "yeah we can't be friends anymore you're the creepy old guy ...

I just watched the new Ghostbusters film... and I enjoyed it more than the 1984 movie. I like the original film, but honestly, I don't love it. It has a few outstanding quotes but is overall I think overrated, and I don't particularly like Bill Murray's character. I don't think he's especially funny...

I just started looking it up cuz I watched "Whom Gods Destroy" and the name was familiar... I see they are trying to do some story from that... but I haven't followed this.

Short version of the hatred? Did they just go too far on copyright?

Well, "Turnabout Intruder".... actually, I remember disliking that last time, but I thought it was OK this time. Everyone talks about the "your world of starship captains doesn't admit women" line... but I took it to mean family life and captain life don't go well together. Leste...

Indeed. So as I'm coming up on the end though, I feel the opposite as I did with Enterprise... I didn't want Enterprise to end, it got interesting. TOS... eh, it is getting repetitive and I actually kinda do want to move on. (I am thinking much of my love for season one might be that it was all fres...

One thing that consistently bugs me about TOS (now on "The Lights of Zetar", almost done) is how frequently they say "the girl". You know if she were a man, they'd say "lieutenant" or his name.... but nope, she has a vagina, so she's "the girl" over and over a...

"The Paradise Syndrome" I am basically enjoying... heck, it kinda reminds me of a SG-1 episode too, 100 days, but I'm at the end now and WTF does nobody care about Miramanee at all? She's lying there, obviously badly hurt, and Bones completely ignores her. Chapel gives her a hypo after bea...

And "A Piece of the Action" remains one of my favorite TOS episodes, it is just so much fun seeing Kirk play mobster... the accent he plays, hahaha. The episode is far from flawless, but I just enjoy it so much. The ending though, oh dear, so Kirk's solution to the contamination... is to c...

I still do love me some Trouble with Tribbles though!

Perhaps, could be that's why they asked T'Pau to fill in - too. BTW "Wolf in the Fold" I have to say basically any Star Trek episode where a crewman is accused of murder tends to be kinda lame. "women are more fearful" lol. but really i just find most them boring and/or stupid. I...

Journey to Babel just came on.... and it made me realize: Spock's parents weren't at his wedding!

Wow. I kinda like the show (though I haven't actually watched it for a long time) but I don't like it that much.... I thought it was starting to get old around like the 6th season.

"Deja Q" is totally one of my favorite episodes of the franchise. It hits so many awesome moments with a variety of good stuff and is some fine Trek comedy too. John de Lancie is spectacular.

How could it not ? Picard is most wise. besides i'd rather watch star trek alone than put up with real life people drama anyway and interestingly, last night i went up to one of my girl friends' houses and found her husband watching... TNG! He even just finished Redemption then skipped ahead to True...

Yeah, the redshirts really got the shaft in the Apple. Just a 60's thing I think, but I always giggle a bit at the fists on the hip stand too.

... though "The Apple", ugh. And now "Catspaw", ugh. But Doomsday Machine is so excellent in this shit sandwich!

I love the Kirk/Spock/Bones dynamic so much that I can find enjoyment in even bad episodes, but then I watch a plain great like "The Doomsday Machine" and so so so good!

Whoa.

NCIS is still on!?!?!?

So I found myself in the middle of a real life conflict this month and wasn't sure what to do, so I was inspired to consult the Holy Scriptures, specifically the Book of Picard. In "Redemption", Captain Picard finds himself in a Klingon civil war, even receiving a distress call from the sh...

yessssssss!

Indeed. So "The Cage" was on my set too so I watched that... and Captain Pike said "engage"! How exciting. The music... after watching Enterprise with its Rick Berman music, then switching back to here, obviously there is a huge difference... and it isn't always positive. I gener...

"City on the Edge of Forever" why was mccoy even wearing a phaser?!? I don't remember seeing him grab one on the ship and he didn't expect to need it before being drugged soooo.... and puh-leze, blaming pacifists for ruining the future. This had better be the origin story of the Terran Emp...

oh and spock's heart isn't in his chest bones!!!!

Barf. It's Perry Mason IN SPAAAAAAACE and really, really dumb. Well, "enjoyed it" doesn't mean things were all smart. I agree with what you said about Cogley*, and even Spock's discovery of the computer problem seems most illogical, why would editing the bridge log affect the chess game a...
