Star Trek: The Next Generation

[straightorbroken]

I've decided to give this a go. I think this is probably the series I watched a lot of as a kid, but don't expect to remember any of it. The cast is certainly looking iconic. On to parts 1 & 2 for the opener then...

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Patrick, shave the back and sides off would you.

 

[straightorbroken]

Although I'm still somewhat in awe of its size and complexity.

 

[straightorbroken]

"When we wore costumes like that we already started making rapid progress"

"Oh yeah? You want to review your rapid progress?"

I was half willing Q to continue mocking humanity with a costume change into Bad Romance garb.

 

[straightorbroken]

Lieutenant Yar is what 80s Hazell Dean saw when she looked in the mirror.

 

[straightorbroken]

"I see no charges against us, your honor".

 

[straightorbroken]

The camp and camera angles are sublime pomp.

 

[COB]

The first two seasons have their moments, but it doesn't REALLY get going until they're out of the way.

 

[straightorbroken]

I wonder how much hairspray they went through for the First Officer alone.

 

[straightorbroken]

Dr. Crusher is the spit of Tiffany. I was thinking I knew her from something, but her filmog was not throwing anything up.

 

[COB]

Just remembered Deanna's season one outfit and accent

 

[Indie]

Tasha Yar to die please

Oh, right

 

[Tisch]

I did NOT think I would be googling Deanna Troi cleavage pics this morning, but there we go.

 

[Eddie]

I love(d) it!

 

[straightorbroken]

Lutan is such a queen. Some of this episode would be negative data today.

 

[straightorbroken]

Good lord at the hellraiser head combat glove. No wonder Hazell Dean is such a sensitive one if this is what she's been through.

 

[straightorbroken]

Tinfoil Sinitta is down.

 

[straightorbroken]

Yareena picked well. Although Lutan would be a stretch to crown my #1M quite frankly.

 

[floppet]

Just remembered Deanna's season one outfit and accent

There was the ridiculous blue cleavage dress but then came the camel-toe pantsuit!

 

[straightorbroken]

She's the one who can detect emotions by having orgasms? Her ensembles are certainly notable even 3 episodes in!

 

[Iguana]

She's the one who can detect emotions by having orgasms? Her ensembles are certainly notable even 3 episodes in!

Watch out for all her excuses. "Oh I can't sense his emotions, he must be putting up some sort of shield" "Oh I've got a bit of a headache so I can't tell what he's thinking today"

PSYCHIC MY ARSE

 

[Tisch]

PSYCHIC MY ARSE

*Picard walks into a room*
"Picard! I SENSED you coming"

 

[Diddy]

Then her very vague wide nets

I’m sensing PAIN... and/or ANGER

YEAH PROBABLY TROI

 

[COB]

*A dozen ships warp in with their weapons charged*
Captain, I sense HOSTILITY...

 

[Iguana]

 

[Iguana]

The actor is a bit of an ADELE type

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm on the Ferengi. Im guessing all the men are wearing corsets going on how Data's clothes ruffles when sitting.

 

[VoR]

I LOVE TROI and I love that Marina Sirtis is an unapologetically far left cockney scrubber with a foul mouth and a 40-a-day cackle.

And yes, the character was clearly a TOTAL FRAUD and all the funnier for it.

 

[straightorbroken]

A bit lightweight. Onto 5: Where No One Has Gone Before.

 

[straightorbroken]

Kosinski, like a cross between Judge Rinder and Martin Gore.

 

[straightorbroken]

No new findings. Episode 6, Lonely Among Us, proceed.

 

[straightorbroken]

An early incarnation of the award winning Dinosaurs perhaps.

 

[straightorbroken]

Have reached Justice, episode 7. I'm too tired to continue, how inconvenient.

 

[straightorbroken]

A swift, meaty episode, but that's enough about the table cloth/napkins ensembles. Not sure why they went down there in the first place if it was all er actually our own laws state no interference, unless they were being sent pics on outer space tinder or something, I was a bit zoned out so didn't follow it all.

 

[straightorbroken]

Episode 8. Councellor Troi detects a "mechanical" thought just as an old ship appears.

 

[straightorbroken]

The Ferengi are rather tedious and unbelievable. I had my phone engaged almost the entire episode.

 

[straightorbroken]

Q is definitely for Queen. Form a line, episode 9, "Hide & Q".

 

[COB]

The Ferengi are rather tedious and unbelievable. I had my phone engaged almost the entire episode.

They make a bit of an effort to push them as the big recurring villains in the earlier seasons, then they end up as a bit of a joke for the most part and you get better baddies as well as returns for Klingons, Romulans etc later on. DS9 has some Ferengi regulars that it actually develops into interesting (but mostly comedic) characters, but that's a while off.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm on the 10 now. I'm getting All About Eve dinner party vibes. Quite fun so far.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Hazell Dean's got her hair did Marie Fredriksson style. And she's knocking that glass back. Even Crusher has a new do for the occasion.
