next thing you know I'm dancing in a field at midnight covered in cows' blood worshipping Spock
Oh hell, Danielle, she's onto us.

but still...it's Star trek ...I'd have to mock myself. And that seems like a lot of work.
I am pretty confident that's a job you could out-source.

* Why TF are there plastic sheets hanging for someone to dramatically walk through? WTF is that all about?
Heh, so they're having this dramatic fight sequence on these inexplicable narrow platforms over an abyss INSIDE the enemy ship so they can channel some Empire Strikes Back , and my partner and I are both riffing on the clangers from Galaxy Quest . "What the hell are these things doing here? This makes no sense!"

and a woman captain placed not on a 5 mission with station visits but almost completely isolated from all Federation assistance
Yeah, see, not really enough for me to just shove a random vagina in the big chair. I didn't like Janeway, and I didn't 'buy' her. I have this theory that at about that time, US tv really wanted to do women in charge, but just didn't know how to portray a woman as powerful unless she actually pysically kicked arse a lot. If you want Star Trek female characters with natural authority, Major Kira leaves Janeway in the dust.
And yeah, what Ron Moore said in Craig's quote. They had this intriguing situation where they were cut off from the Federation, and three years later everyone was still getting up and putting on their uniforms in the morning. They just didn't use it.
I loved the Star Trek Futurama episode. When they all fight at the end, before anything happens the first thing Kirk does is rip his shirt
"Front row! yes!"

I was referring to misty eyed memories of TOS
Those velour shirts were teh suckage, but the ripping did make for great continuity errors.
Trivia for the day: in The Motion Picture, Kirk and McCoy get into an elevator, and when they get out, they're wearing each other's shirts...

the splashing of a bucket of water on the character played by Hugh Jackman.' One can't help feeling that splashing an actual bucket of actual water would have been cheaper, if not perhaps quite as realistic.
I'd be prepared to extensively test that theory.

because the bar for genre television was welll and truly raised by Babylon 5, Deep Space Nine, Farscape, Stargate:SG1 before it started to cannibalise itself etc.
Babylon 5 did really seem to have a lot of influence beyond how good it was in and of itself. Multi-episode and even multi-series plot arcs, better effects and a different conception of how alien aliens could be. (First appearance of Nero's ship I said to my partner 'they're being attacked by the Shadow').
I wanted to like Enterprise and there were some things I really liked (hello, Trip, fancy seeing you again in Stargate Atlantis) but it just wore as it went on and I got more and more irritated by their Vulcans that didn't behave like Vulcans.
and the action gussets on Cap'n Kirk's shirts were always set to rip at the drop of a gauntlet... Get Ngila on the job.
Ah, my 'wtf is with those shirts' rant. They didn't rip Kirk's shirt! All movie! I was appreciably disappointed.

Also, note the Extreme Kirk Mince in that picture.
That site claims the joke started here, but whether it did or not that site is still fun, especially the Firefly comparison.
Thank you for reassuring me that I can go and not want to poke my brian out with a stick afterwards.
That's the one, that's what I keep hearing. "Please tell me I won't spend an hour afterwards going 'and another thing' while my brain drowns in a sea of bile'.
Trek Fandom. It makes Whedon fandom look sane and relaxing.

I'm remembering your Whedon teeshirt from Foo.
Heh, sure you are. Hoping to take that to Auckland again soon.

As always, John Rogers talks clever-like (somewhat spoilery).
Oo, that's brilliant, and he's absolutely right. (But, really spoilery.) I need to be able to talk about this in spoilery terms at some point, but it'll be after jsr's been to see it, that's for sure.
