Are the tholians next week? I need to see me some crystal aliens, so i can ask them about whether those people who like crystals and think they cure stuff are really worshiping Tholians
Not yet, but I’m getting really close. I don’t want to, because I bailed on Next Gen towards the end of the first season, and then when everybody said it had suddenly figured itself out midway through season three, I had a lot of catching up to do. I figure I’ll give it to the end of the current season, and then decide over the summer break whether or not to tune in for season three. If this last show had been the season finale, the answer would be no. :mad:
I’m real close to giving up on it, but can’t quite do it…I keep hoping it’ll get better, but I think I’m also afraid that if Enterprise fails, there won’t be any more ST series.
Carnivorousplant: Refresh my memory. I’m a real fan of TOS - even have most of them on tape, but I don’t recall the IDIC thing and the amulet…does this mean I’m not a trekkie? :eek:
Tars: next week: Andorians.
It was featured in the show that had Diana Muldar as a blind woman wearing a sensor net. Spock mind melded with an energy (?) being to give it the chance to feel and see.
Is There In Truth No Beauty?
I’ll have to double check the ep name…
Courtesy of Mrs. Plant:
Is There No Truth in Beauty?
Spock wore it on a chain in honor of Miranda Jones.
He wore it pinned to his dress uniforn in another episode perhaps Journey to Babel.
Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination combining to create truth and beauty.
Hah! My name was the right one!
I’m the geek! Yeah, baby!
(This page won’t last long.)
Oh yes - I DO remember that one, and the title too - I guess I can still claim to be a trekkie. Thanks.
Well perhaps in those centuries it isn’t that important for gay people to have outrageous parades and wear pink triangles or have a “We’re here, we’re queer, deal with it” attitude because nobody bats an eye at that particular lifestlye after first contact with alien cultures.
Anyway this episode was bad. Seriously bad. Heavy handed poopstink this side of that Wesley Crusher episode about the addictive game!!!
This kind of moralism was cute in the sixties because most people weren’t that open minded but nowadays they’re playing to the people who already agree rather than challenging them with new ideas or outlooks.
Oh yeah, I still watch Enterprise because it’s a reason to hang out with my friends. I would stop watching the show if I didn’t have company especially after a recent episode where some colony of nameless foreheads was being harassed by the GENTLEST KLINGONS EVER who ran away after being shown a bonfire.
A BONFIRE???
Kruge from Search for Spock is spinning in his mother’s womb (because he wasn’t born yet).
Had the Klingons in that episode been true Klingons there would have been plenty of heads rolling, blood spattering the sand and maybe Hoshi being caught naked in the shower with T’Pol
Ha!
Sure, after Mrs. Plant explains it to us, we’re all Trekkers.
And she has TWO of them.
From conventions, presume…I hope.
Excuse me, I have to go now.
Those were Klingoffs, not Klingons!
Tars, did you give Mrs. Plant any jewelry?
Uh, no…::hides Mr. T’s gold chains::
I barely lasted the first season. When I started watching Firefly (which I considered to be more faithful to the human condition) I simply lost interest in Enterprise.
Funny, the same thing happened with Voyager. I could barely stand watching it, but once I started watching Babylon 5, Voyager couldn’t hold my attention.
Well, mindmeld Doctor guy did say “We’re less tolerant now than 1000 years ago.”
But, every Star Trek has elements that contradicted other ones. The Klingons change from bad guys with tans, goatees, and chainmail in TOS to honorable allies with ridges on their heads in TNG. The Trill in DS9 are nothing like the Trill in TNG. The Borg were totally reconceived in Voyager, etc.
I wish they’d at least make an attempt to write Mayweather into the show in a way that isn’t so frequently contrived. (“Oops, got the script done but just realized that Travis isn’t in it. Let’s throw in a scene that has little or no point so the guy can have a little screen time and a few lines.” :rolleyes: )
I’ve got a student named Harry Kim (really), but I’m thinking of changing his name on my roll sheet to Travis Mayweather–you know why? 'Cuz he doesn’t show up to class very often!
Well, I’m pretty much ready to give up on Enterprise. Lack of continuity just drives me crazy!
I’m willing (barely) to accept the idea that the mind meld will become common in the next century or so, and maybe the ancient traditions they talk about in later years are things that were surpressed then later reestablished.
But in the episode with the emotional Vulcans, the one who melds with T’Pol tells her about it as something she would never have heard of. “It’s called a mind meld”, or something to that effect. Yet now all Vulcans know about it, even if they do abhor the practice.
I’ll check out the Tholians, but that’s probably it for me.
Klingons-Micahael Ansera and his guys in Day of the Dove had copper skin. The guys in Trouble with Tribbles were caucasian. This was a screw up and it was decided that Klingons had races.
The ridges is just having more money for makeup. Roddenberry diid it in Star Trek the Motion Picture. The enemy vs. allies aspect-I believe they were both over the run of DS9, but that is politics (Greek, poly=many and OE, ticks=blood sucking) and story telling.
