Star Trek Death Thoughts
Just watched the last four episodes over four days - the miracle of the Internet.
It was never the best show in the world. It wasn't a patch on that wonderful show, The Next Generation, that inducted me into the science fiction world through BBC2 repeats. At least I can say I never gave up on it, as I did with Voyager but it was a close-run thing.
In a Mirror Darkly pt 2 - This AU was fantastic. How they tied everything together, linking TOS episodes in like that and with Evil!Soval and Hoshi becoming Empress of the Empire! Fantastic stuff!
Demons - Peter Weller from Odyssey V and The Mayor from Buffy!! Also, Trip and T'Pol have a baby. And she's a sweetie with big brown eyes and her little pointy ears. Keckler chose to recap it in a Squeeish Teenaged Crazed Fan voice, which was very funny I confess. Reed was HOT and Mayweather got laid. It was a little bizarre.
Terra Prime - Connor Trineer rocks my world. I cried when the baby died - started, admittedly, when Phlox got choked up but when Trip has this tear-filled scene with T'Pol about how Vulcans and Humans will have kids in the future. Just...meep. Which makes the next episode just stupid...
These are the Voyages... - WTF?! We jump six years into the future to the decommissioning of Enteprise and THEN discover that it's actually a holodeck program in the middle of a TNG episode! I didn't even recognise the episode, so was completely lost, and it just detracted from the actual cast members of this show!! And they killed Trip. And I knew they would, cos I had been spoiled, but gnh. It was so pointless! He blew himself up to save Quantum (er...I mean Archer. Damned TWoP)! Of all people! And there was no time to mourn, and T'Pol and him weren't even together cos they called it off after THEIR BABY DIED AND IT WAS ALL SAPPY?! Who does that?
It ended kinda cool with Picard starting 'Space: The Final Frontier' with it seguing into Kirk and finally Archer. I think they like to pretend DS9 and Voyager never happened. Which is a pity, cos DS9 was my favourite. I giggled through it because, seriously, dude, wtf?!
And there endeth Star Trek. Ridikkulus!
