FRAKES! What more can be said?

The best that can be said for Insurrection is that it didnt feel like a massive FUCK YOU the way the movie that shall not be named did.

Without the calming influenence of the interviewer it is too much. Almost Lovecraftian.

Surely a good write could come up with something?!?

Yeah I agree!

I know! His best friend Geordie is right there AND THEY DONT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BEFORE DATA LEAPS TO HIS DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always felt that in First Contact Lily stole what would have been more naturally Beverly's role. She would have called him out on being too revengey.

Kirk's balls are what makes him stand out. He wasnt ever afraid to gamble for the highest stakes. It makes him almost frightening. V'Ger was moments away from annihilating Earth; and Kirk was betting on a calculated hunch.

The thing that irks me about The Motion Picture is that they had a HUGE budget and the final film, while ambitious, is a thumping bore. I have a soft spot for it but it's hard to go to bat for.

The thing about Geordie is I think he is like all the TOS supporting characters: He is defined by his job. He is an extremely competant engineer and officer. Beyond that he is not well defined. Picard, Worf, Data and Riker are much more fleshed out.

Seven is a great movie. I think it of it as a horror movie really. Also: SWAT BEFORE DICKS!

Better than the second? I beg your pardon.

What shall we do when the reviews are over? Who will teach us the Ways of the Beard?

Agreed the Berman interviews are acquiring a weird but great momentum.

Maybe it will end with the reveal that Berman is in an insane asylum and his interviewer is his doctor…….

Good to have you back!

I think Jean-Luc's  disorientation is what kept him from understanding. Plus the mind fuck of "I may just be suffering from space alzeheimers."

Dammt! I meant trombone. Early onset Alzeheimers…….

That is the best idea ever! Only saxaphone music will be played. Saxaphone musice that sets the mood of course.

Is it too soon to yell for FRAKES and SIRTIS?!?!?!? I am starting to jones!
