That "Day of the Dove" was a hoot when Chekov did his Russian warrior and Sulu (sp?) did some kind of ethnic ridiculousness also!. The episode that made me howl the most was the one where Spock mind-melded with the rocks, and was crying "The Pain, the sadness", and emoting rock anguish! Hoo! that was rich!
SGH, do you remember the fall Star Trek started, they ran those promo's about it being an "adult" show! Shana's outfit was rather "adult", but the show lost that edge pretty quick! Too camp!

I'm more of a Star Trek movie fan (mainly 'cos Brit TV always makes a mess of the scheduling for the series'). I remember reading somewhere that Mr Rodenberry is the only person to be buried in space. (or rather, had his urn cast into space) *wonders why a Star Trek thread never materialised before* |

SGH: I remember the buzzing sound. But I don't remember what Kirk was supposed to accomplish for those people.
I don't have the knowledge you have. That's for sure. But I bought some of the Star Trek christmas ornaments, the ships. I bought some small tree lights and (eventually) I'm going to hang them from the ceiling, positioning them so it looks like a battle. Ok, is that hokey... sorry... I'm immature. Quote:

I believe that Gene Roodenberry was taken up on one of the space shuttles, or his ashes were.

She (Uhura) was in town a month or so ago, doing a promo with an oldies radio station. She talked about that kiss, and also mentioned that she had gone to some function right after the show started and told Martin Luther King that she was thinking of quiting. He gave her a big talk about how the show was so good because it broke the racial stereotypes, so she stayed.

The NG movies are a bit above the normal cut of sci-fi films (great cast etc). I've got Nemesis (alledgedly the last NG movie) on DVD....'tis ok, but as the swansong for the NG crew, a bit of a let-down |

Wow. I can't imagine that show without her.
There was this episode where she, Kirk, McCoy, and mmmm... maybe Scottie ... anyway they were switched with Alternate Universe duplicates of themselves who were ruthless. Funny how they were switched, but their clothes were different. Which made no sense to me. Anyhooo.... Ohura has to play with Sulu and keep his attention while the rest of the trapped crew did something or other, then she cuts him with a knife.... Can't recall how they got back to the 'real' Enterprise, though. |

Alledgedly: Gene Rodenberry recieved a letter from the USSR Kremlin enquiring why there was no Russian member of the Enterprise crew...........Rodenberry took note........and wrote Pavel Chekov into the show! The TV company weren't too keen on the idea........but Rodenberry was nothing if not true to his ideas. Last edited by Coney : 05-10-2003 at 08:21 PM. |

Guess I better do the dirty deed and move this to the proper forum before someone complains.
Moving to the Entertainment forum.

Captain Picard > Captain Kirk > everybody else
similarly. . . StarTrek:TNG > StarTrek original > everything else

I used to think Captain James T. Kirk was the best because he led with a certain flair, and I even refused to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation when it first came out. But, when I swallowed my pride and started to watch it Picard won me over with episodes like "Darmok" when he had to learn to communicate with the alien captain, "The Inner Light" when he re-lived the life of a man in a civilization that was long gone because thier sun died and at the end when he played that flute . . . it got to me, I enjoyed Picards interactions with Q, and Locutus of Borg.

Oh! I loved that "Inner Light" one. Yeah, I really like Next Generation a lot. It wasn't so funny, but that was good. I loved that one where they play the same poker game over and over in the beginning, caught in a time warp.

Yeah, Star Trek (the orginal) was funny with Dr. McCoy being catty at Spock and they would always try to one-up the other, or the "pancake" aliens were they landed on some planet and these flying "pancakes" were taking over, and that episode that was mentioned earlier were Spock was clamped to that rock moaning about the pain and the sadness. I think some of the humor was because they didn't have the special effects that they have now. And, even though the cast is acting as if they are in that reality, I as the viewer am sitting at home thinking "That's not a tribble, that's a giant hairball!."
Each captain was effective in both shows, I guess I like the Earl Grey tea drinking, kind-of-grumpy, and somewhat stern Picard better. But, I will always hear Kirk screaming "KHAAAAAAN!" |
