I do remember being at my friends house while Kirk and zulu were walking on some strange planet and they accidently bumped the cardboard cutout of a plant or rock and it shifted... and then another with furbies flying all over.. my laughter and comments got me kicked out of that club rather quickly...

so I found girls...

Ah, I remember the day I discovered girls to-best and worst day of my life (lol).
Yeah, Star Trek can be pretty laugthable at times-different strokes for different folks.

Ah, a Trekkie!

I'm sorry, but I will always remember Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap...still can't fathom him as Star Fleet material.

Sadly, I see the Star Trek franchise as a vehicle (pardon the pun) for humanist endeavors, promoting science at the expense of religion.
Anyway, Star Trek is fun, but it isn't worth molding my life around.

Did you ever see the movie "Galaxy Quest" with Tim Allen in the leading role? Cute little spoof on the original Star Trek franchise.

Nope, not a Trekie- just know what I enjoy when I enjoy it. Have a soft spot for ST as it was my 'introduction' to Sci-Fi and fantasy.

Enterprise realy was bad....

I'd say there was a 'spiritual' element to Star Trek , certainly it sometimes asks interesting questions-but all versions are produts of their time. Don't think any film or tv series is worth molding your life around.

Galaxy Quest- a work of pure genius.

Yeah, I remember that one, as much because Kim Darby played the love interest for Kirk. Well, she was supposed to be too young, so I guess it was a potential love interest.

Anybody ever hear of Angelique Pettyjohn? I've looked for her to turn up in anything else out of Hollywood and never did see her in anything else. HOTT!!! She was the love interest in Gamesters of Triscalion (sp).

But the all time best episode had to be the Trouble with Tribbles, screenplay by David Gerrard (sp), who wrote "When Harlie was One" and "The GOD Machine" when artificial intelligence was still but a dream...

I just gotta watch what I say, so I don't end up ducking for cover when one of those little ironies gets thrown across the room in my direction!

Two particularly funny Trek spoofs, or skits, were both from the early Saturday Night Live days. One is probably more recent, from a show with William Shatner hosting. He tells the Trekkies to "get a life," and even as an avid Trek fan, I had to laugh.

The funniest skit I've ever seen, was the SNL one with Akroyd, Murray, Chevy Chase, Jon Belushi and the gang. It's about the cancellation of ST original series, and Belushi keeps the act up even as they come in and tear the whole stage down around him ...

My own fav used to be original series, then it gave way to Next Gen, and finally I've embraced Voyager - after watching the entire set in sequence (it was my fav, first time around, in the mid 90s). Never could get into Deep, uh, Space, nine ... and I honestly tried to watch Enterprise, but just had to give that one up despite T'pol/Blalock's silicon ...

The movies are good, and I watched about the first 6 in sequence recently, so I just got 4 more to go!

Btw, I loved Scott Dracula in Quantum Leap, but as Archer ... ughhhh ....

Well, I just have to tell you guys what has happened (especially those who migrated here from the movie thread).

I just caught an episode of Next Gen called "The Devil's Due". For those who haven't seen it, here's the official info from T.V. Guide:

"The Enterprise comes to the aid of the Ventaxians, who are faced with the prospect of fulfilling a diabolical contract made by their ancestors...."

Flow, brace yourself: Apparently, Ardra (the Satan figure) tempts my dear Picard by transforming herself into Counselor Troi and offering her, um, services. Of course, Jean Luc is not fooled by the con game, nor does he succumb to the temptress. But what does it imply that Ardra chooses to impersonate Deanna instead of Beverly? Humm? I knew it--I just knew it.

I love Data--in this episode, not only does he attempt method acting (he plays Scrooge) to hopefully help him get a grip on humanity, but he ejudicates the litigation between Picard and Ardra.

I give this one three thumbs up.

InPeace,
InLove

I loved Next gen.. I loved voyager.. I watched the original but William Shatner was always yucky to me. Dont tell him that he might have a stroke.

I remember that episode, at least the Ardra character. Jean Luc could be
a smarmy and self-righteous doofus at times. If it were me I probably would have had a little fun before judging the situation. But then, there is a thing as too much information/knowledge...huh ?

Yeah, have to agree with those comments- if you ever bother to read interviews with Blalock (they did this recently in a magazine I read) it's quite sad watching her go from realy excited and positive about being in star trek to, by the end, relieveed it's all over because of the poor quality of it all...

wil · 03-05-2007, 08:56 PM

I know this is the Star Trek and not the Star Wars thread, but I don't know where else to turn, I've just been informed we've possibly been duped. And I for one wonder if there shouldn't be a congressional investigation.
