In honor of the 50th
Me as an extra in the Wrath of Kahn

Really ! So Cool!

I just watched the wrath of Kahn about a
week ago. It is the best : )

Something that makes pictures go to our TV is broken and Eric hasn't had time to figure out what, exactly, is broken. We can only get Netflix on TV right now, which is ok with me because we've been watching Next Generation reruns. Much as I'm enjoying them though, I do have to confess that I think that the acting the first season was a little bumpy.

The way some of the characters were played changed over the years. The changes were subtle as they happened, so you only really notice when you get to the end and cycle back to the beginning. I don't think the actors are entirely responsible, though; the writers and producers probably pushed them that way, and they weren't all that great in the first couple of seasons either. Many of the first season scripts were reworked from the "Star Trek Phase II" series that never happened, and the Writer's Guild was on strike for most of season 2.

I don't know who writes the plot summaries for U-Verse, but sometimes they're really poor. Extreme case in point:

Star Trek: A Piece of the Action. Captain Kirk is nabbed by a gangster seeking the upper hand against his enemies in a civilization modeled after the New York crime syndicates of the 1930s.

As I type, I am looking at a still frame of the contamination, the book Chicago Mobs of the Twenties.

Gotta love Google / YouTube's "auto-spying" feature. I was looking for something else and this was suggested as a "you might also be interested to watch this".........
Star Trek Parody-Carol Burnett Show (about 7 minutes long)

In case anyone besides me has been watching All Star Trek on H&I, starting today they've rearranged the schedule so all the Treks are together.

Times given here are Central (my local).

Hercules has moved to 5, Xena to 6, TOS 7, TNG 8, DS9 9, VOY 10, and ENT 11. NYPD Blue is now at midnight, but I'm not sure if it's at the point in the series that was previously airing at 4 or 9.

If anyone hasn't been watching but cares, TOS is near the end of the series for the second time, ENT is starting season 2 for the second time, and all the others are at the end of season 6 or getting into 7 for the first time.

I don't know what channel this H&I is, but VOY is on BBCA here on Spectrum(ex-TWC)...

Never mind, Hero's and Icons is not on Spectrum(ex-TWC).

Having just watched the finale of DS9, I am once again left unsatisfied with the timing of the Winn/Dukat plot vis a vis everything else. She poisons him, we switch to Odo beaming into the Cardassian control room. After Odo convinces the Female to surrender, Sisko, Martok and Ross meet for their drink on the surface, the fleet goes back to DS9, the treaty is negotiated and signed, the crew goes for one last night at Vic's, and THEN Winn calls forth the Pah Wraiths, who reanimate Dukat and turn him back into a Cardassian? What was she doing all that time, twiddling her thunbs?

BTW, that last night at Vic's, while not the last scene in the show, WAS the last scene filmed. All the background people were not actors hired as extras, they were the show production staff. Executive Producer (head writer) Ira Steven Behr is the bald guy who walks in wearing round sun glasses. There were probably some of the guest stars whose alien characters weren't in the scene, also present out of their alien makeup. I'm sure Rick Berman, Executive Producer of the entire franchise and keeper of the Roddenberry vision of Star Trek, was also there, but don't ask me who he was.

It's a nice and subtle touch when Miles is taking a last look around his quarters and finds the little red toy soldier, and rising above the incidental music is a flute doing his song from an episode of TNG "The soldier boy to the war has gone..." However, the flashback sequence it leads to is kind of lame, especially since it excludes Terry Farrell as Jadzia.

I really thought they would have given Morn a line, or at least a word, in the last scene, but the notorious chatterbox remained mute to the end.

I also note that it took about 7 months for the three contemporaneous series to get through their 7 seasons.
