Thank you for saying that, Jerry. I'm not in the camp of loving Voyage Home. :)

That. Is. Exactly. My. Problem. With. It. It's a boring episode with a lack of focus on the main characters. It's not a Trek episode even though it is the final episode of season two. I have zero love for this episode, really dislike they used it in Picard and is the "least" of all Trek season...

Sure, but that's not the standard I'm using. Any episode should be focused on the main characters with the guest stars being used to add seasoning to the story. "Assignment: Earth" is a Gary Seven show with Kirk and Spock thrown in to keep it Trek. Going back to Season 1..."Operation...

Yeah, it was an episode where "our" characters are guest stars in their own show...that's not something I like, especially for a season finale. If Gary Seven had been established previously and he was a recurring guest, I might have been on board more with "Assignment: Earth." It's not a bad...

Funny-ish story: my BF at the time and I went to on one of the last HTF's meets in Hollywood...probably 2011 or 2012. We were in a car with Bob and some other people. He casually mentions he found the footage of "The Cage", which I thought was pretty wildly cool. I tweeted it (when I was on that...

For those interested...Chris Pine is the guest on this week's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me."

If podcasts are your thing, there is a fun "after show" podcast for The Center Seat. I never watched the doc, but the 'cast entertained me for a weekend.

Agree to disagree. :)

Sure. Shatner needs Nimoy and Kelley; Nimoy needs Shatner and Kelley; Kelley needs Shatner and Nimoy. That's the way it works. Remove one piece and does this show survive all these years? I don't know. So fine...he's the main lead, but if you want to give him credit for getting the show to...

Yeah...I'm not sure what my brain was thinking 20 minutes ago leaving him out. The point I was trying to make on that is now moot. :) I'm not going to go back and edit...I don't like to rewrite history. The egg on my face is there for all to see. :emoji_egg: I'm still not of the opinion he's...

K'Ehleyr was a strong, evolving female character in a series that didn't have a whole lot of them, especially early on. Suzie Plakson is a fantastic actress and it was always a delight to see her in any role. While "Reunion" is a great episode with the gut punch of her death at the end, I would...

Are you talking about the turbolift which goes directly to the battle bridge? If so, it's always been there...just barely used.

And this is one I come back to fairly often not because it's a classic but because it moves like a house on fire and gives almost the entire main cast something to do. It's kinetic and physical, takes place off the Enterprise and has some truly head scratching moments, all of which have been...

As a kid, the best part of "Too Short a Season" was the phaser fight in the tunnels. I'm sure if I went back to it now as a 44-year-old, the overall story would resonate a whole lot more...but I never have a burning desire to turn it on.

That. Is. Amazing.

Heads Up: the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Podcast has an episode today (12.13.23) about Star Trek: Picard trivia. Thirty questions split up into three rounds. Spoilers abound.

Great gift! And a great trip down memory lane with the 1990's Playmates figures. My parents had an unopened Geordi LaForge from All Good Things... sitting in their closet somewhere since it was released. They mailed it to me a few weeks back. I had to explain everything about it (the figure...

My husband is awake doing schoolwork in his office and I'm doing some pretty mindless stuff for work, so I popped "The Cage" (Extended Version) into the player in honor of Mr. Butler. I've got a 42 inch TV in my office, with a 4k player and 4k Apple TV... I'm finding it very hard to not just...

Is the owner T’Bonz now? I was on the board when Christian (IIRC) was owner or ran it or something. The BBS was my haunt up until 2004 or so.

Forgot to mention it here...finished DS9 #19 earlier this week, "The Tempest." This book plays exactly like an episode of the series. It's got multiple plots involving all our regulars and a few guest stars. It takes place almost exclusively on the standing sets. There's no big space battles...

It also introduced the Medusan's, a race criminally underused since "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" One of the great things Prodigy (and all the more current shows) did was dive deep into the vault and explore races not named Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian and Borg. Imagine the Medusan's on the...

100% agree. I just watched it a week or two ago and I still couldn’t take my eyes off it. I don’t care how much it hits the nail on the head…a lot of people are just too dense to pick up on subtlety. I love it precisely because of the message and the crew not really understanding. Belle and...

I've always assumed it was a budget thing considering it's make-up and action heavy.

100%. It's a game I like to play when I watch anything...spot the oddities, etc. Same thing when watching TNG and I see the tape marks on the ground for actors, the track for the seats in the back of the bridge or the screw holes to keep the plexiglass (or whatever) on consoles. It makes me laugh.

I watched "Whom Gods Destroy" over the weekend on Paramount+. The climax, where Garth turns into Kirk and they fight, has always been a favorite scene of mine precisely to see the actor playing "other" Kirk. For 1960s TV, it's a good resemblance. For HD in 2023...sticks out like a sore thumb...

I remember seeing the package on a shelf in the store, but I never had it. The closest o came was the NES game. I could never figure out the Piece of the Action part of the story and I eventually said hell with it.

I had to go pull it out of the closet…comics through October 2002. I’ve tried to rip the files onto my iPad through iTunes over the years but no dice.

I have a CD compilation of all the Trek comics released through the Marvel Comics days (I think that’s as far as they go…I’d have to look). Anyway, I went through the Gold Key ones around 2009…those are some wild as heck stories. Long, too. They really filled up pages back then.

I really enjoyed this whole book convo over the weekend. Super fun to read through!

This Voyager adventure is different from everything that came before: yes, it starts out with the "quest for supplies and recreation" trope, but it shifts from there pretty quickly to building a world for the drama to play out. Here, an Edo-like race wins over the crew with their free-wheeling...
