I started appreciating what he did when i read the interview saying he purposefully was trying to not be like Shatner. At first it kinda seemed like Wesley was just a bland actor being unable to nail Shatnerisms.

I always thought a younger Gabriel Macht would have been perfect for the Bond role, but yeah, probably too old now.

One of the easter eggs in Picard S3 was Kirk’s corpse being in storage on that secure station. Half of me thought they WERE going to do that, lol.

I went into ID with determination NOT to compare it to WOK, because no matter what Cumby was going to do, he’s simply not Ricardo. It was different enough overall to not really force me into any comparisons, and I rather enjoyed it overall.

I actually like Beyond the least because other than the nostalgic Spock/McCoy banter, it went off the deep end of ridiculousness with the cycle ride and Beastie Boys.

LMAO...yikes, Grandpa Horndog.

That Gene dynamic reminds me of how Yankees fans look at George Steinbrenner nowadays.

Michael Burnham in Discovery kind of reminds me of Benson/Stabler and Cragen’s dynamic on SVU. Burnham being Benson/Stabler, being told to specifically NOT do something over and over by her superiors (Cragen) and doing it anyways.

SNW (except for that horrid musical ep) and LD would beg to differ. Picard S3 wasn’t bad, but after the extreme nostalgia wears off, it did have a bit of the problems that existed in the atrocious S2 and mediocre S1 as well. But:

JJTrek was entertaining, and I feel Pine/Quinto/Urban absolutely nailed their roles, but you have to remember, JJ Abrams was more of a Star Wars fan than Star Trek, so that probably is the reason his reboots don’t really feel like ...well, Star Trek.

Who I initially thought was awful, but seemingly has settled right into the role of late. Especially that episode with La’an in the alternate universe.

The funny thing is, just about everybody who watched TOS thought Kirk had bedded a decent number of his own crew, even though it wasn’t shown onscreen.

“Oh, my dear doctor....”

Tasha Yar

“Alas, my ship, who I love like a woman, is disabled....”

He still got to make Jean Luc look like a sissy by throwing hands with Soran. I’d imagine Shatner’s ego liked that quite a bit.

I could watch a 16 minute flyby of that gorgeous refit. Best looking starship ever drawn.

Rick Berman: *drools*

“ and failing to rework a so-so script into Star Trek magic as he once knew.”
