Sounds good. One step ahead of ya - I watched TMP again last night. Not to cause a distraction from your enjoyment of the movie, but try to count how many uniform changes Kirk goes through over the course of the film…it's crazy.

Next Review
So, Zack…should we be watching "Cat's Paw" and "I, Mudd" or "The Motion Picture" (Director's Cut, hopefully) for this Friday?

There was the no-stopping-it Doomsday Machine in "Dr. Strangelove".

I think that's a great suggestion and also a nice way to stir up more discussion about the first big-screen Trek extravaganza in light of the release of the latest one (but hopefully with everyone on their best behavior and not spoiling the new one for the rest of us).

It's bad alright, but it made me laugh out loud! One of the fun things about the original series is that, as you mention, it is so mired in 1960s mores that it's fun on that level alone sometimes. (Personally, I'm really looking forward to re-watching the Space Hippies episode).

Mirror, Mirror Notes and Scorecard
Uhura should wear her mirror uniform every week - she looked mighty fine! Even though the mirror universe ramps up the debauchery factor by ten, nobody seemed to get laid…although Kirk is obviously going to correct that situation with the "good Marlene" at the end of the episode. …

The Changeling Notes and Scorecard
No one has mentioned the best/worst line of the episode! Nomad: "What is that unit?" Kirk: "That's a woman." Nomad: "It is a mass of conflicting impulses." But McCoy and Chapel laughing at Uhura as she tries to read the word "blue" is cringe-inducing. By the way, what the hell is…

Don't forget "Cry If You Want" - closing track of It's Hard. Fantastic song. Great way to end a recording career. (No, I don't count anything after that).

I'd get a bag of Doritos and an uzi and reenact the Bill Hicks routine.

Richelieu - relax and have a beer. Also, watch "Caprica" and shuffle on over to that thread.

Nick later joins on drums, and a new transfer student is introduced as the guitarist. Lindsay comes back from her Dead Head trip and falls for said guitarist. Jealousy ensues.

Bill gets into punk rock, learns to play the bass (badly - but good enough for a garage punk group) and recruits Desario as lead singer in a band.

You're right - I guess the exposure to Cylon projection was limited to Baltar, and was allowed by the chip/angel in his head. Maybe as the Caprica series goes on, the holobands will be seen as a dangerous technology (great way for terrorists and malcontents to get together and scheme in secret) and will be outlawed…

*SPOILER ALERTS PROBABLY THROUGH THE REST OF THESE THREADS: LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THE DRAGON AND DESPAIR*

The Jefferson Starship song-title crack made my day. Thanks, Zack.

To lose his brother would be even worse.

Chokin' and Tokin'
I'm a huge fan of the show, but have to say that the only episode that stank was the Reefer Madness twin, "Chokin' and Tokin'". It *was* a poorly written and acted after-school special. Feig and Apatow could have presented an anti-drug message in a much more subtle, realistic way. It was the only…

The holoband is probably the biggest gap in the Caprica-BSG continuity. If virtual reality was so common "before the fall", why was the Galactica crew so amazed at Cylon "projection"?

alurin, I take it you weren't exactly bowled over by the pilot. What you mention above is one of the few problems I had digesting the show, but I rationalized it by thinking that maybe Zoe had spent a *lot* of time building and developing her avatar, so it would be a pretty good copy (not a "perfect" copy, as her…

I watched it last night, Not Higgins, and you're right that it really doesn't need the Galactica backdrop at all. It came across to me like an idea for a new show that possibly wouldn't get the greenlight without the Galactica cache attached to it. Instead of a new robot, we've got a Cylon prototype (and the metal…
