It's throwing me off. Robo-Spock Mind Trap That Old Time Overlapping Cross-Fade Montage Mix An Itchy Trigger Finger Crazy... like a Crazy Person Romulan Honour The plot is resolved by button push, yet again. UFP: United Federation of Planets We've never seen that Recreation Room before. I will go to a different planet for my holiday, thank you very much. I shaka my fista ata you. Young people scare me; old people, not so much. Truthfully, that fist shake thing looks more like pretend-playtime than anything else. 2021-06-12: DISC ONE - END 2021-06-12: DISC TWO Batman Style Quick Action Camera Shots Lots of New Angles All sorts of New Ship Locales They got funding... again! It's all about the props. A Reversing Ship w/ A Solar Lens Flare Was there no Desilu? It's a test. West World Sorry, Eastern Philosophy World Aha! They built a big model of The Enterprise. How many times does Chekhov die? Emotional Vampire New Pictures for The Ending Credits Doctor, heal thyself. 2021-06-15: DISC TWO - END 2021-06-27: DISC THREE Problem One Problem Two Problem Three A Trio Of Misery Machina ex Tres The means of their own destruction Have I predicted the resolution? No. I did not. I trust we will forget about all that prior to the start of the next episode. Missing Persons Sex Slave... again. I care not for this last episode. The plot is not exposed; and as such, might as well not exist. I just don't care about this episode. I don't feel it. Absence of Emotion A Void of Feeling It might work. I mean, it's worth a shot. These are some long over-acted melodramatic scenes that just miss completely. The Crappy Episode... crappiest yet. 2021-07-02: DISC THREE - END I've passed on watching Star Trek numerous times, now. Perhaps, tomorrow... Sunday, for those keeping track at home. 2021-07-17: DISC FOUR Suki w/ an Attitude! I can almost hear The Klingon Captain whisper, "Shsh. We're sneaking up on them." The Classic Interweaving Plot! How will it intertwine, this time? Stupidest Episode Ever! I liked Suki. I'm not so crazy about Marla. Riddle Me This: What's Black & White and Grey all over? Is it Black & White or White & Black? They're Crop Farmers... well, those plane spray things. Ah, Crop Dusters. They're Crop Dusters! A Society so advanced, they have not yet discovered death. 2021-07-20: DISC FOUR - END The plots are so thin, I hardly ever find myself falling in. Yet, I enjoy my time. There's always something interesting to look at or think about. 2021-07-29: DISC FIVE They really are sparsely equipped: not even a canteen. Stranded! She Moves Quickly! It's like watching six-year-olds playing. Worst Assassin Ever! WARP 14+. Impressive. Spock isn't logical enough for me. PsyTrance! I'm talking over the dialogue, a lot. Sexy Librarian. I Am History! "Plague Ship" Greco-Romance! One Of A Kind Original Behind The Yellow Door Remember, now. What's the episode you are watching. Oh, right. Hippies. Moon Cult Old Flame I am not a fan of Chekhov. I mean, I don't hate him. But I think I prefer him in the background. Hippies! The Lot! 2021-08-01: DISC FIVE - END 2021-08-13: DISC SIX Well, that is when I put the disc in. 2021-08-15: Starting to watch. The Hazmat Men. " You and what army?" It's hard to write this bad. See, there's this time crunch... again. What are the major plots? Rescue. Exploration. Courier. Rest & Relaxation. Rank Ordered, as I don't wish to include Attack or Defense in the list. Gravity Defying! "I'll say!" Kids at Play! It's a Dirt Clod Fight! Well, this is why the show got cancelled. Man, talk about a stupid fight scene... along with a stupid conceit. Dirt Clod & Sticks: It's sort of amazing how often these turn out to be the available tools. Trapped In Books Currently, the show of choice is Arrested Development (and to a lesser extent, The Potter Franchise [Harry, inclusive]), so these last few episodes are being consumed quite intermittently. 2021-08-21: DISC SIX - Back In Two Episodes to go. Library Planet? The show is stopped on The Ice Age Cave Girl peering out through Prison Bars. I could be watching Planet Of The Apes. Lost In Time That's Real Incredible Cave People Black Widow Spider Caught In Her Web Gender Bender Don't Mind Me 2021-08-23: DISC SIX - END 2021-08-23: DISC SEVEN B&W Adventure! Cool Fade Cut. Making Time. Repeat! 2021-08-22: DISC SEVEN - END It was just the one. The first pilot (subsequently remade) in black and white. I liked the remake better. Gives one a whole new appreciation of Captain Kirk. I like the idea of an after school Star Trek viewing club. #EOF
