Thirty-one years…is that a good run?

Ninety-one though. That's a good run.

He had a good run.

I agree. Nolte is someone I can just listen to ramble on, which is basically all he does. He's maybe a rung or two lower than Gary Busey on the batshit ladder. "I don't know what that has to do with my last shit, but anyway." I shall watch this documentary, yes.

81 is a good run.

Wow.

Yeah, 11001001 was lame. I remember in another episode much later, some alien constructs a fake reality for Riker in which the holographic chick was his wife; this is what points out to him that it is a fake reality. But I remember thinking how weird that was - it came from his memory, but why her and not Troi? Or…

The original Trek would have to be exempted from that rule; the first season of TOS is pretty great. Certainly better than the third.

I do believe that was Qs first Voyager episode. I did not like Voyager whatsoever, but I remember the Q episodes being fun. The one with the guy who wants to be allowed to die, that was Voyager, right? I remember that one being particularly great.

Yeah, I remember at least thinking the set of The Empath being kind of cool visually. And as said above, the colors, along with the starkness of the set, I found neat as a kid. It still doesn't bother me now. But I'd say the episode itself is worse, in my opinion, than The Way to Eden and Spock's Brain.

Regardless of personal ranking…boy howdy, did Star Trek have a fuckton of hotness or what. Even the non-speaking background crew women were amazing. I think in three seasons of episodes, the original Trek had more awesome hot chickness than TNG did in its seven years.

Among my Star Trek fan friends, the thing that pisses us off the most about V is the fact that it fucked our characters. I mean, didn't only throw out so much about these characters but painted them in increasingly ludicrous and perhaps insulting ways (except, if I remember correctly, Kirk…which makes sense since The…

Pardon?

Oh.

Huh?

My favorite will always be the chick in What Are Little Girls Made Of. Man alive. I'd slam her like a screen door.

Just trying to work towards the quota of using the word "rapey".

I won't really defend V, but I did think, when skipping through it not to long ago, that is is probably the movie that is, out of the original cast films, most like a TOS episode. In plot, of course. The story, if you cut it down to 51 minutes, would just be a good TOS episode really. And there are some good…

I don't remember, were there rapey undertones in the torturing of Gem by the bald aliens?
