VindictiveJudge,

It’s also not even remotely how DNA or evolution work.

VindictiveJudge,

And yet, all the carts are collected and all the shelves fully stocked.

VindictiveJudge,

Seems bland as hell on the surface, but hiding a spicy side.

It is very important that you all know that Sarah Silverman made out with Tim Russ during the time she was on Voyager. (www.cinemablend.com)

I kissed him [Robert Duncan McNeill] at the end of the episode, and he was standing on an apple box because God forbid you’re the same height as the girl. And then, I made out with him [Tim Russ] in real life....

VindictiveJudge,

*any port in a pon far

VindictiveJudge,

The remake being attached to Trek with the creator being annoyed at VOY and leaving to make his own show still kinda fits the Mormon thing with the above chart, though.

VindictiveJudge,

Lucky could be Paris, but that would make Luanne B’Elanna and I don’t think that part works.

VindictiveJudge,

Add in Sokel for the next round. He was T’Lyn’s former captain.

VindictiveJudge,

Season 3 has a ton of problems, but it’s still a much better send off for the TNG crew than Nemesis was, and that’s good enough for me.

VindictiveJudge,

I am part of the group that thinks Insurrection was not just bad as a movie, but bad as a plot line all together. Literally everything about the Ba’ku-Son’a conflict falls apart at the slightest scrutiny.

VindictiveJudge,

Early pre-production for the first movie started that year. Might have been to build hype.

VindictiveJudge,

They could always bring back Touchstone to compensate.

VindictiveJudge,

TNG’s and VOY’s viewscreens are technically holographic, but the effect is applied inconsistently.

VindictiveJudge,

I think the mushrooms almost feel too… mundane? The average person probably interacts with a lot more mushrooms than crystals. Crystals also have a long history of being associated with magical properties, and modern science has figured out some neat things that can be done with crystalline structures. We’re pretty primed for crystals doing cool stuff. Mushrooms have significantly less mysticism associated with them and related science is more biological than technological. That’s not really solidly in favor of one or the other, but it does mean the audience will more readily accept crystal hijinks with no warm up than mushroom hijinks with no warmup. The closest comparison to the mycelial network is Yggdrasil, which is solidly in the high fantasy category rather than sci-fi.

All that is to say, I think the mycelial network needed more time to set up than the show gave it. Some kind of foreshadowing, like simply mentioning something about advances in organic technology. Farscape probably would have been able to sell it pretty quick, but Farscape also has organic technology as a core part of the premise with Moya. Not an inherently bad concept, just kind of comes out of nowhere in the context of Trek.

VindictiveJudge,

How old is she? Because Encounter at Farpoint isn’t exactly an episode that would hook the average kid.

VindictiveJudge,

There is one small thing linking this episode to the rest - Sisko’s baseball. The alien posing as Buck Bokai gives Sisko the ball that spends the rest of the series on his desk. I also actually quite like all of the interactions between Sisko and Bokai.

VindictiveJudge,

Seriously, Profit and Lace managed to be misogynistic, misandristic, and transphobic all at the same time.

VindictiveJudge,

I think the truck nuts go below the rear shuttle bay. Mudflaps go on the nacelles.

VindictiveJudge,

Most of the planned season 5 wound up in season 4, but there was so much that some of it did wind up in the actual fifth season. Most of what made it wound up in the back half, which is significantly better than the final season’s front half.

VindictiveJudge,

Then where did Molly and Kirayoshi come from?

VindictiveJudge,

Your picture is missing the, “Never give up,” part.

VindictiveJudge,

she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.

Which is a damn shame given all the looks she and Chakotay shared. And that time they thought they were going to be stuck alone together forever.

VindictiveJudge,

That’s clearly a yellow beam, making Worf a Jedi Sentinel.

VindictiveJudge,

But I like having a reason to pretend sexist Pike didn’t happen.

Interestingly, this scene technically isn’t part of continuity because “The Cage” as a whole technically isn’t part of continuity, only the parts that made it into later episodes, like “The Menagerie,” are. Remember, “The Cage” was a rejected pilot that only got released later on as a bonus, like a collection of deleted scenes. “Where No Man Has Gone Before” was the show’s accepted pilot.

VindictiveJudge,

They really should have sang both Faith of the Heart and the lyrics to the original theme song.
