As of a few seconds ago as I write this (though by the time I finish this it'll probably be more like an hour or three), with the viewing of the final episode of Enterprise, I can now say that I have finally seen all of Star Trek. It took me a while. (And, looking back through my LJ, I notice that I never made any posts about TAS, TNG, or DS9 for ( Read more... )

I'm five episodes in now (if you count the two-parter first episode as two eps), and while I hear that it gets pretty bad later on, it's certainly off to a much, much better start than Voyager was by the same number of episodes in.

In the fifth episode of Enterprise, "Unexpected," they meet aliens with holodeck technology[1], Trip (a male ( Read more... )

It took me about six months but I'm now finished with Voyager.

I'm four episodes into Star Trek Voyager (or only three if you count the two-part premiere as one big episode) and already *two* of them have involved time travel in some way. That's... I'm not sure what to make of that, actually. Hmm.

And... the next episode after those involves Neelix getting his lungs stolen all " ( Read more... )

This is why the 2009 Star Trek movie is possible without seriously screwing over the original Star Trek timeline.

"Good. I look forward to your report, Mr. Broccoli."

Added bonus in that scene: Data mispronounces metathesis.

They had a U.S. flag. They had a Bible. They had a perfect copy of the U.S. Constitution. They were called "Yangs" aka Yankees (the white people) and they were fighting the "Kohms" aka Communists (the Asian people, or "yellows" as Kirk himself called them).

Really, Star Trek? I mean, just come on. I'm still trying to apply the MST3K Mantra ( Read more... )

Oh, and while I'm on the subject... a few nitpicks about some of the episodes. In most cases, I just follow the MST3K Mantra, but these are the cases where fridge logic hit like a ton of bricks and couldn't be ignored.

Just three for now, but I may update this later as I watch more:

I've been watching TOS for the past couple of weeks or so. Just finished The Menagerie tonight, which is roughly the half-way point of season 1. After TOS, I plan to move on to TNG. That's all I have access to at the moment, though.

While looking up some stuff online pertaining to episodes I'd watched, I was using Memory Alpha, as indicated by ( Read more... )
