"It's a poster that's pinned up. Are we saying the same thing?"

I dont have to tell you where my mind was going

I guess there are plenty such posters of her. Which is a good thing.

There's definitely a certain...mystique...to the whole idea of a poster of Number One.

Indeed. Well done.

E8 was good. A bit brutal. More so than TNG’s The Defector. (The scene where Jarok convinces Picard is one of my favorite scenes in all of Trek.) Nice to get that background on M’Benga and Chapel.

Clint Howard in Star Trek again. All is good. For those don't recognize him he was the alien in TOS "The Carbonite Maneauver"

I knew I recognized him, but couldn’t for the life of me figure out who it was. He waited a long time between Trek roles!

Edit: Or not! He’s had several Trek roles over the years.

And he was Roo?? That’s even cooler!

Possibly the best episode of the season. I loved Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, but this episode was more..... personal. PTSD but also ... how to forgive when you can't forget.

Still on my tangent, also very cool that Piglet was Jack the Ripper in TOS’s Wolf in the Fold.

I've been watching Trek since the 60's and have watched just about everything Trek has to offer. I was not sure what to expect from a musical Trek episode......... but...... I LOVED IT!!! I thought it was a really great episode. Well done!

The Klingons cracked me up!!!

Nope. Not a fan. I guess because Once More, With Feeling is one of the best Buffy episodes, and this so obviously imitated that.

Trying to ignore that, yeah, it was a good episode. Particularly interesting to see what changed Spock around.

I never watched more than a few episodes of Buffy so I will look it up to see what you are referencing.

Ah. IMO, Buffy is among the best handful of shows ever. Northern Exposure, Buffy, Trek, Colombo, West Wing…

Interesting that you caught that so quickly.... guess really loving Buffy and watching it pays off in noting that. I have read since that episode came out, they did try to imitate much of the style of that Buffy episode.

Also, you should watch Buffy. Such an excellent show! Although S1 is quirky. But starting work the S2 EP with the mummy, it's just great. And, odd as it is to say, they made it realistic on some ways. What kind of toll does living that life take on a teenage girl?

Plus really funny; crazy battles; charter growth all around...

Seems there will be a season 3...

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Thu Aug 10, 2023 10:28 am

There had better be! Two seasons would be unforgivable.

Post by **rdhopeca** » Thu Aug 10, 2023 4:41 pm

Seriously, given....

Spoiler

the season ending cliff hanger...

Damn good season ending episode!! I hope Season 3 isn't held up too long by the writers strike.
