"I don't always watch Star Trek, but when I do I prefer Deep Sp…"

Avery Brooks isn't militant. He's an erudite Samuel L. Jackson on acid.

You just haven't learned how to keep your eyes on the ever-shifting horizon like he has.

"It's real! Don't you understand? It is real. I created it. And it's real! It's REAL! Oh God!"

@joaquinstick I think you mean Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and a Half Weeks

Who we really need is Avery Brooks. I'm thinking a hyper-educated Samuel L. Jackson with with constant references to African mythology.

Hey, did anyone else notice the continuity between seasons with Chase being a hypnosis expert? That was like a season 1 or 2 callback.

No, Quiddich is comprehensible, just stupid.

I think Wesley's journey is more "2001ish" since it's just one person and not and entire race.

Well, you got a choice between being referred to by the nation Columbus thought he landed on, or an obscure Italian explorer. Either one is kind of a raw deal.

By removing the dated elements such as the Ewoks, static eyes, he's removing part of what makes Star

I'm gonna go with 2,5,6,3,4,7,1. S2 doesn't have any eps that can match "Moonlight" or some of the Dominion War episodes, but the week to week quality was the best.

"Measure of a Man" and "Matter of Honor" in consecutive weeks. I remember watching those eps back to back and thinking to myself, "Where the fuck did this sudden surge of competency come from?"

For me, despite it's themes of exploration and myriad aliens races, Star Trek has always been a celebration of humanity. It's about how by being in "space," a place apart from the world we know allows us to view ourselves from a different perspective. It's the gist of episodes like "The Enemy Within," "Darmok," "The

Whatever Season 7's faults are, I'm thankful that they nailed the finale.

Except that 25 out of 100 of the US's largest corporations pay their CEO's more than they pay in taxes. If fumbling and being a prick gets you that I'm in!
