Whenever that glory happens... it cant be soon enough
Mike possesses encyclopedic knowledge of Star Trek, Rich had to binge the entirety of TNG season 1 shortly before filming.
It is a constant pathetic struggle between Rich and Mike for control of Rich's diabeetus medicine. Pathetic because Mike always wins.
you got SFDebris.
Season 1 had a lot of "the concept is interesting, but the execution leaves much to be desired" kinds of episodes. Encounter at Farpoint is an exemplar of what I mean. The twist is the space jellyfish was looking for its mate. Appearances deceive is a good theme, but the Q scenes tend to be very fatty as far as plot goes. The Last Outpost tried making a villain out of the Ferengi, but because they are such a strawman of Yankee Traders, they have to be short, dumb, pgymy cretins. The result is they're not as interesting as the T'Kon empire. Which they immediately back off on with Daimon Bok, but Bok was generic AF. It's not until DS9 do the Ferengi work as a race, albeit written a bit too cowardly considering early Ferengi weren't that bad in a fight.
lol ironic, he's only recently been putting more and more on youtube because all the other streaming services have been dying or collapsing under the weight of his show.
Given that Sonnenberg is an Alt.Startrek.vs.Starwars alumni, he can also shitpost with the best of them. He has, in fact, done so for longer than RLM has been a thing. I'm just sad the ASVS FUQ doesn't work so well any more, he had some great quotes. I do understand if he doesn't want people digging into his turboautist on the internet days.
If you skip to Season 3, you miss out on the significance of Tasha Yar appearing in "Yesterday's Enterprise".
I remember seeing her getting filthy in some Skinamax tripe in the early '90s, and my young teenage brain nearly siezed up and exploded.
I might be misremembering, but Crosby and Sirtis were cast for each other's roles and then they got a last minute switch. Which I don't think was a good decision. Crosby is tall, sure, but I never found her intimidating and I think that's what Mike is referring to when he said Worf as Security Chief was a better fit. Sirtis's, and it would have been hard to tell at the time, best performances were generally if she was the villain or otherwise channeling her anger and resentment.* Power Play and Face of the Enemy are good Troi episodes. What do they have in common? Troi isn't acting like Troi. Roles like Demora from Gargoyles are generally when she's at her best, so casting her as a boring Counselor always seemed like a bad decision, especially since she has that resting bitch face on all the time as Troi.
Indeed. When I was a kid, I didn't understand why fanboys were so upset that she left the show. Rewatching it as an adult, I completely empathize.
