^^ I like that episode. It always reminds me of 2001. BTW, I play poker but I am unaware of all the rules and nuances of craps.

Worf has always been the comic relief of the show.

I am actually doing the same. I do not have a problem with first season episodes as those were the most "Star Trek" to me, seeming to expand the Utopian concept, which is the hope of Star Trek (we should be so lucky). What was dropped in later seasons that could have been expanded story...

1. TOS 2. TNG and distant 3. Second Season Discovery Voyager was okay at the time I guess... too many resets. Enterprise got interesting too late. DS9 is simply a soap opera in the Star Trek universe. Some fun episodes and interesting characters but diminished the utopia that was supposed...

Don't get me started on STID. There are so many things wrong with this movie, I refuse to own it.

Thanks for the heads up. I collect those.

He was the blue gin (in blue) on I Dream of Jeannie.

Just a note here that Vulcan has been found. Now we await first contact. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6186235/Real-life-Vulcan-16-light-years-away-Planet-orbits-star-home-Star-Treks-Spock.html

Jim West was a western James Bond. Nothing more, nothing less.

A friend of mine said the same thing, laughing, that they were made up like transvestites.

I have had all the episodes on tape (Beta) since the mid 80's, then laserdiscs, then DVD, then Blu-Ray. I watch the Blu-rays with updated effects all the time. I do not experience the same problem as others when watching TOS-R. I guess I am a generalist as well.

I agree. I was against it when I heard it was being done but it was done with subtlety and in some cases, makes the stories more coherent.

I enjoyed Voyager for the most part on its first run but I always found the doctor to be the weakest point of the show and his evolution as a holographic doctor ridiculous. It just made no sense and to me was a feeble attempt to inject a "logical" character, ala' Spock and Data. The pilot...

It is interesting to note the fundamental difference between ST:OS and ST:NG is the former questioned man's connection with technology while the latter embraced it. The presenting of a utopia contrasted with society not so (one that relates mostly to us) is a staple of science fiction in...

It was never about action, but action was usually a consequence. It was never about action for action's sake.

Perhaps, but in this case, we know they will ALL come out of it okay. As a viewer and Trek fan, I would have found far more interesting to see a clever weaving of the movie into existing canon. And these are NOT the characters we know and love in the least. Kirk, Spock and Scotty are not the...

One man's inspiration is another man's laziness. Should have started the story with Kirk being on the Farrugut, and worked from there. After all, if you can't fit the story within 78 episodes of vague references, then the writers might fare better at flipping burgers for a living. As for the...

:D

The reaction to this episode by some cracks me up every time.

I'm watching DS9 and am toward the end of season 3. The first two were painful to get through as I never cared for the premise (I departed after the first season when it aired) but the characters are good and the stories are getting more interesting as I get to know the characters better. I...

^^^ I have the first one... fortunately it doesn't look like that.

Dude, when it comes to Trek, it seems you and I are toe to toe. I did the exact same thing last night. :) I'm sure Scott would have appreciated you and Lou's toast.

^^ It does sound like a good premise for a story. Nice you knew Ann well. It's probably been as long for me since I read a ST novel as well.

Several years ago, I ran into Margaret Bonanno and Ann Crispin (RIP) at a trek convention (in the hotel bar). This is when Margaret wrote The Probe. Both were disenchanted with the novel process, and Margaret said she would not write another, especially since they apparently butchered her...

Just read the sad news. Scott was a big Trek fan and I always enjoyed reading his thoughts on all things Trek. RIP.

I defer to Nelson.

Yep... you got it.

I cheated and looked it up. It is the same spelling and is from TOS. If no one gets it later, I'll divulge.

The TNG episode I knew but I suspect the TOS one may sound the same, but it is spelled differently.

Well I know one but will not say it until I figure out the other one. I assume then that it is two separate characters and not one being referenced in another episode.
