Star Trek: The Next Threaderation

Actually....if you think about it, I don't think he could have destroyed the program without destroying the research.   That would be a pretty good reason not to delete it.

He could have deleted the Leah Brahms character. Or just restored her to Factory Settings

Or he could have hidden it away and put a password on it. He's Geordi. he left it out in the open.

" Conundrum ".

  Oh we've all lost our memories. We all appear to be here though. Data, Riker, Troi, Commaner McDuff.



That was a good camera reveal though.

Would have been cool to have that as the first episode of a season. Like the 2nd season so we could be introduced to Polaski the same way. Then it's even more of a riddle.

Like, "Hey, here's three random cast members you've never seen. Two of them are real....figure it out!"

[Nefarius]

Is Malcom Reed gender fluid?

Highly likely.

He's into pineapple cake, phaser rifles, and T'Pol's bum.

That was a good premise for a show. I always associate it with Clues, which I also thought was a good episode.

Clues was also good but I thought Conundrum was better overall.

When I saw The Wrath of Khan 30 years ago - the things that stuck in my mind most were

The Kobayashi Maru
 The Ceti Eels
  The line " I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia, Round the Antares Malestrom and round Perdition's flames before I give him up ! " **
   Spocks' Death. I remember in the funeral scene - mum said " it's Spock - he'll be back ".
   




** A great line although i'd not use the word "round" three times.

" Message In A Bottle "

What is this episode ? It's more like Red Dwarf than Star Trek.

Nothing says quality Trek like Andy Dick as a god damn doctor.

And it's a damn shame, as it's a great idea for an episode. I coincidentally just watched it yesterday. Their banter was dreadful, but the doctor dealing with the Romulans was pretty good. They should have done it with Picardo as a second, unevolved EMH with that grouchy demeanor. Also, Seven electrocuting the enraged Hirogin guy via the radio was one of the show's funniest bits. The dude's screams really sold it nicely. 

[BlobVanDam]

I love that episode. About the only time I've ever liked Andy Dick too.

[PetFish]

The TNG episode with that video game that brainwashes the crew reminds me of Pokemon Go.

[Orbert]

Star Trek and the social commentary.  Video games are bad, addicting, bad, and can be very bad.

[BlobVanDam]

I thought the lesson of that episode was that Wesley is a total buzzkill.

[Orbert]

That, too.

" Lessons "

The one wth new crew-member Daren ( female ) who Picard gets a crush on.

The scene where Picard is playing the flute - I could be mistaken but it looks *so* much like they're not even Patrick Stewart's hands holding the flute.

It *would* make it more believable having a real person doing the fingering and not Pat Stewart just miming anything.

But it looks so un-natural *if* that's what is going on.

Also - Frakes surprised acting in this episode is GREAT.

All the main cast are good actors but I think Pat Stewart, Jonathan Frakes and LeVar Burton are the top 3 with Spiner coming in 4th when he plays Data. Not Soong or Lore.

Star Trek acting is a peculiar thing. These people essentially create their characters so it's pretty hard for them to be bad at it. You don't think of Wil Wheaton as a bad actor. You think of Wesley Crusher as an annoying character. Same thing with Sirtis and Troi. I really only judge their acting skills by how they play other characters. Dorn is great as Worf, but put him in another role and he's just awful. That applies to most of the DS9 cast. That's the biggest reason the mirror universe episodes were so bad. I think Spiner as Data is a wonderful character, but as an actor I really can't stand the guy, and that's because he played so many non-Data characters and they were all pretty bad. Most of the TNG cast got a break in that regard. When was Levar Burton not Geordi?

It's also interesting to see the actors IRL as compared to their characters. A lot of them seem to be playing themselves. Is Frakes much different than Riker? A few of them couldn't be any more different, which gives them good acting points. Rene Aberjewhathever is nothing like Odo, and it's probably why he had a career before ST. I gained some appreciate for Jolene Blalock after seeing her on a talk show. I never thought she was a bad actress playing T'Pol, or a couple of other characters, but seeing who she really is actually made it pretty impressive.

I think the reboot actors have a much tougher job, and they have mostly done very well. It's easy for Shatner and Nimoy to play Kirk and Spock. It's a bitch for somebody else to come along and do it.

" The Chase "

That old guy who invites himself on board - and basically says Picard has to leave the Enterprise for a year - and gets mad when he doesn't ...

For the most part they've done the best thing.

Make it your own but sprinkle it with the essence of the original character.

The worst thing would be for Pine to act exactly like Shatner with his dramatic pauses and deep booming voice.

[Kotowboy]

I always think it's funny when the Enterprise turns up at a planet in Federation space and Klingons or Ferengi turn up and basically say

" WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ? "

Obviously you're in the wrong place and attacking the Enterprise in Federation space doesn't look good does it...




Speaking of Ferengi - they must be so fun to write for. They're just SO frustrating and annoying.

Like that episode with The Stargazer and they basically PRETEND to be giving the ship to Picard for no profit. Then when it's CLEAR they're being violent to Picard

they go " HOW DARE YOU !! WE OFFER YOU A GIFT FOR NO PROFIT AND YOU ACCUSE US OF TREACHERY ?? "

They're just so annoying


And any new tech the Federation are using - the Ferengi or Klingons or Cardassians always think it's a new Federation doomsday device specifically designed to wipe them out

" The Chase "

That guy was a dick, but I liked the episode. And the Klingon was a real hoot.

[Kotowboy]

" Second Chances "

Tom Riker has been alone for 8 years and conveniently his hair and beard are identical to Will Riker.


They could have at least TRIED to make them look different

Yes that scene where he wants to arm wrestle Data and Data beats him *instantly* and goes right back to his work

[El Barto]

He also expressed frustration that the non-Female Changeling Salome Jens was already dead as he wanted to kill her for wasting his time.

His insult of choice was " You treacherous Toh Pah ! "

They did.  Thomas Riker had a different colored shirt.

That was most impressive. Really impressive CGI there.

Benedict Cumberbatch is in Star Trek into Darkness and The Desolation of Smaug and Doctor Strange.

Martin Freeman is in Captain America Civil War and The Hobbit Trilogy.

Now Martin Freeman needs to be in a Star trek movie

Crossing my fingers for Star Trek Space Dick.

[Kotowboy]

Hoping info is out when I get up.

[BlobVanDam]

I was just wondering again the other day if Star Trek was going to be the official title. Looks like it's not. Can't wait to finally hear the details!
