so I've been watching star trek the next generation

[bigchiefbc]

I hate to break it to you, bcbc, but I've been watching a bit of TNG on BBC America lately and with the exception of Patrick Stewart's acting (oh, and Whoopi Goldberg too), it doesn't really hold up so well.

Dude, Worf and his intolerable son are fucking Hamlet compared to the original series.

[Chankgeez]

I think you're comparing apples and oranges there, ALEXANDER!!!

I love star trek, and next generation's super cool. There are some pretty terrible episodes involving Warf, though. Like the one where he has a kid, and the other one where he and the kid go on some lame cowboy adventure in the holodeck.

The second season's the best season IMO. But if you want some real star trek magic you gotta watch the original series with the updated special effects. It's too cool; the awesome dynamics of the old series characters with special effects that don't look like garbage.

I think Data Dong is going to be my new stage name

I almost feel like this should go in the confession thread. I hate the original series, honestly. It's just soooooo goddamn cheesy, and I don't mean the effects. It's like a collection of the worst acting performances in the history of acting. Marry that to some of the worst dialog writing ever, and it's a match made in hell. When I watch it, I feel like I'm watching some horrible student-run show on a local public access channel.

yOU TAKE THAT BACK

WILLIAM SHATNER IS A GOD

I think Hamlet shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence as any Star Trek.
It's degrading to Gene's legacy.

Whoopi Goldberg? I must have mentally blocked that out. I loathe her....

[Chankgeez]

You may loathe 'er, but she's at least a good actress.

how can you not like whoopi


that's fuckin rad that she's on the next generation,when does her character enter the show?


I read a thing a while ago that when the original star trek first aired, a young whoopi goldberg shouted for her mom to come look because there was a black woman on tv that wasn't playing a maid. she felt like she could do anything she wanted after that

She shows up some time during season 2. She's there for most of seasons 3-5 at least.

Whoopi Goldberg: All-knowing space bartender.

[D.o.S.]

Whoopi Goldberg: All-knowing space bartender.

That's not what it says on my business card, but it's also not not what it says on my business card.

[spacelordmother]

Whoopi Goldberg: All-knowing space bartender.

Whose race was destroyed by the Borg, and yet she has some ridic hidden powers that makes her unafraid of the Q.

(one more TNG nerd...)

[retinal orbita]

All this Whoopi Goldberg appresh is making me question your dedication to fuzz.....

[Greenfuz]

I'm more of a RAT guy
