denni,

I know what you mean. Star Trek has never tackled the issues of the day, so why start now?

Joe

Joe, this episode goes wayyy back into my youth.

At the time we had black and white television 2 tv channels beeb1 & 2 - never having seen a " black " person; being from an isolated island on the west coast of Scotland.. to we kids( well me anyway) this episodes subject matter was a bit too exotic!.

Alert, alert, all decks on alert...

Trekkie fishies, Star Trek: Discovery season three coming soon — October 15 or 16, depending on your location.

And for those who need a Trek fix now, here’s some footage from a lost original series episode, when Mr. Spock and his dad try recently installed VR tech in ol’ NCC-1701.

Loving Lower Decks here. For once Trek made by fans of TOS and the spinoffs.

Regardless of what I think, it's certainly polarising opinion out there in Trek fandom.

Hope you don't mind the cheeky thread registry re-assignment, Joe.

Nic,

That's cool, bro'. Maybe a moderator could amend the thread's title. Do you know one?

Not a competent one. No...wait...Joe...

 

[Joe P]

Nic,

How long can a thread title be? At some point a moderator will have to add this — Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Slightly OT but I enjoyed ‘Away’.

Off topic? This is a Trek thread!

SWMBO and I are watching that. Can’t decide if it’s sci-fi with relationship stuff thrown in to keep the [massive generalisation] Mrs [/massive generalisation] happy or relationship stuff with sci-fi to keep the [massive generalisation] blokes [/massive generalisation] happy.

There are worse ways to kill a couple of hours, and it does at least get us watching the same stuff in the same room.

Mission IMpossible?

 

[Joe P]

Yank,

Yup, and it's as jarring as watching Mr. Spock drive the Bangles to a gig.

Fishies, this week on a main viewing screen near you!

Today!

Oh dear.
It’s morphed into Star Wars.

 

[Joe P]

Bob,

I’ll without judgment until I watch it, but oh dear...

Joe

 

[stephen bennett]

Oh dear.
It’s morphed into Star Wars.

Not even that good, really.

It's still SYFY-level, third-rate SF, trading on a more successful name.

C'mon Trek fishies .... worsening pandemic, winter's coming, it's dark way too early,...

Give me a ray of sunshine.

Joe

 

[stephen bennett]

They need to move the camera up-everyone was gazing reflectively into the distance.

... wait ...Joe....hmm...

No , sorry.

Stephen

On the bright side, surely it can only get better!
In the meantime, that was, by far, THE worst episode.

 

[stephen bennett]

But-the staring into space with overtly emotional music!

Anyone who ever criticised Shatner for chewing the scenery in Trek is gonna have to eat their words now.
