McCoy starts tweaking on his own meds. He falls into a time portal like it’s a puddle outside a gas station. And then he NFL-tackles a peace activist... Kirk has to learn that sometimes you gotta let a woman get hit by a car for the greater good.

But there wasn’t some flower power movement yet. They’re acting like she’s MLK or something. She’s not! She's handing out flyers.

This is Boomer fanfiction. If Shatner wasn’t acting like he’s on stage at the Globe Theatre, it would be a very expensive coincidence machine.

Dame Joan Collins! She was also in the Batman series as The Siren.

Here she is talking about her Star Trek episode.

Speaking of Batman, Julie Newmar was in an episode of Star Trek too, I believe, as was the late Yvonne Craig, aka Batgirl? (I feel like I recall seeing Julie in an episode in an outdoor setting?)

Oh also Barbara Babcock of Dr Quinn, Hill Street Blues, Murder She Wrote, and Salem's Lot fame was also in several episodes and even her voice was used for the cat Isis. (She's alive today, sadly she has Parkinson’s. She lives in Carmel. There's a 2018 article on her and she looks pretty much the same. There's a Star Trek picture or two in it.)

I actually looked them up. It was trip down memory lane as I remember some of the covers. I was 6 when the first one came out, and remember having it. So it was for like early grade schoolers. Which is about the maturity level of the current Starfleet Academy.

They also had a series of YA novels to go along with it. I had a bunch of them when I was like 10ish.

These were made in 1996. How had I never seen or heard of them before?

Never heard of them either. I was curious as to what could have been on those CD-ROMs, and sure enough some thoughtful aspie had already uploaded one to the Internet Archive. It's essentially a cut down version of 1995's Star Trek Omnipedia with the entries culled to only be relevant to the four characters in this set of cadet action figures (it appears they all came with the same CD).

It won't install on modern Windows, but I loaded it into an old XP VM and saw it was the same garbage Quicktime based shovelware that Simon and Shuster was using for all their other Trek licensed CDROM releases at the time (like the TNG Interactive Technical Manual). I never had the Omnipedia, but did have a couple other of their products, and even back in the day on my 486DX4 these 640x480 256 color interactive slideshows were clunky and unimpressive.

Garth of Izar is like if Star Trek became a Classic Who episode. No brakes!

The Orion slave girl kept getting green paint on his toupee and he stormed off set. That’s every Shatner freakout story. Something happens to his hair.:story:

"He wasn’t as warm a person. He was tired of the green makeup because it was marking up his clothes. We were supposed to shoot a love scene, and he was getting pissy that I wasn’t allowed to touch him because he didn’t want any makeup on his costume. And I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God, how am I going to do a love scene with him if I can’t touch him?’ So, I figured I would just play with his hair a little— surely the makeup wouldn’t show up in his hair. One night, I go in to say goodnight to everyone and Shatner is standing there with his hair in his hand— I didn’t know he wore a toupee! And I’m thinking, ‘Damn! Now, he won’t let me touch his hair either!'”"

If you told me this was a /pol/ shoop I would believe it. What the actual fuck is this nose physiognomy?

The Federation just found their new ambassador to the Ferenghi Alliance.

Those bars of gold-pressed latinum were promised to him 3000 years ago.

He has dual Ferenghi-Federation citizenship.

"Fellow Federation citizens, we must open our borders to the Gorn or else we'd be racist!"

They put a camera in his visor so they could find out the Enterprise's shield frequency. It was explained right in the middle, a "hilarious" comedy moment of Lursa and B'etor watching Geordi ggo about his day after he was rescued. I can understand why you missed it.

Basically my reaction to the whole movie.

To be fair that was specifically sorans idea not theirs and doesn't really explain why they took him in the first place, its just putting the fact that they did to a useful advantage for them

There aren't many good things to say about generations as a movie. Frankly the things that interested me the most about it were the interesting use of lighting, the well done cinematography and some of the shooting locations. Particularly the valley of fire and kirks cabin. That was a really, really nice cabin somewhere up in lone pine. Though i've always been a fan of mixing wood and stonework like that so maybe its just me

I get that this is TV-14 Trek and not a show for adults but it's crazy how it drags everyone's dignity down.

I mever thought I would ever utter the phrase that looks like picard in a cuck chair but here we are. I guess worf is there to break things up if picard gets too jealous and tries to break up the fucking

The best scene is O’Brien pounding combat rations like a pig at a trough

Something about that scene always reminded me of that irish union soldier buster kilrain that was always around bitching about england and angry that he never had enough coffee in gettysburg and gods and generals

The offense from which all offense stems is that they're skinwalking one of the best franchises to ever exist. It's like asking what you hate most about the reptilian skinwalking your spouse.

Reading that i'm suddenly getting a horrified thought about sinseer writing some self insert spec script for star trek taking place on some nuked into oblivion wasteland world with his self insert character skinwalking his wife and accusing the few survivors living on said planet of harassing him

That said, episode 5 clearly disregarded the explicit statement sisko made confirming that he would be coming back eventually. Well we're going on a thousand years and he's still slumming it in the celestial temple so he must be going by black people time. Which is even funnier when you remember he had a hobby involving making clocks

On the other hand i'm sure dukat is regretting his life choices by now. He can't be having a good time in his own personal pah wraith hell

Shatner was the star of the show, even if he was eclipsed by Nimoy who was supposed to be the second banana, and stars are often prima donnas. This shouldn't be a big shock. Just like how Doohan, Takei, et al., were just bit players who the fans elevated to much higher status than they really were. Shows of that period were not written as ensemble vehicles, but were allowed to have some recurring characters.

That's just a Greek nose.

nu-Dax visits Jake Sisko's podcast to talk about the Sisko episode, and I think listening improves it. I guess she hasn't talked about it in other interviews, but Tawny Newsome's DS9-loving father was dying of cancer while she was working on this, and the episode has obvious parallels to reality here. Nice that he got to read the script before he passed. :feels:

That explains an awful lot. I thought Avery Brooks had died, and needed to check. Tawny Newsome is far from the worst writer nu-Trek has. She at least seems to write from a place of love and (mostly) respect.
