Check the Wiki article, Genesis is scientifically one of the soundest episodes of Trek there is.

It was recommended to me to on the basis that I liked those films and the TV series Spaced.

I loved the Blacktron stuff, I had a rather fancy model set with an opening hangar and space ship inside.

I never liked the witches too much.

For episodes reviews like this, does anyone else feel a bit of shame clicking on the "I watched this" icon at the top?

I liked the un-Earthly feel of the other Cushing movie's sets, but I couldn't bring myself to really like either this serial or its Cushing counterpart.

I like the Dalek invasion stories for the same reasons I like zombie films. Its the idea we could take a day off work sick, pop of to a quiet place for a weekend break and come back to find our home town crawling with these things.

The Daleks were not humanoids and had a great deal of on screen presence, coming in around shoulder height (depending on the actor/actress opposite them) and poking everywhere with their weapon, plunger and eye stalk they staked out a lot of floor space in their scenes.

Even my 5 year old daughter asked where the Cybermen were by episode three. She asked to watch it so she could prove that she was much braver than the other kids at school.

They looked well for the time, the neutral expression on their "faces" is always a bit creepy.

It allegedly cleared the streets of people who wanted to pop back inside and enjoy it when originally broadcast.

I wonder why Serling chose a U-Boat captain for the episode.

I'm going to miss the way that Jobs took other people's ideas for consumer entertainment products, then made them into slicker and more expensive things that I never bought or used.

Another Picard centric episode that would have worked better IMHO without the extra scenes on the Enterprise.

I wondered if anyone would dare look him in the eye and ask about the space hippie role. Fair play to him for talking about it.

Rewatching the episode, I kept getting this confused with the Frasier episode featuring Freud and imagined Data in bed with Sigmund.

Thank Og that the upcoming Bluray release will have plenty of room for such commentary.

Ah, Stone. Not Stall-one. I care a lot less about this now.

Without divulging my post code, I was saddened to hear that after a house move, I was technically in the East of Belfast and therefore in Down…

Depends who you ask, accents in NI vary from town to town quite widely.
