Mariner would make a good villain.
Brilliant.
Sincerely.
I hope though the senior executives at Paramount realize that the “villains laying-it-on-thick” has been overdone to the point of being fair game as a Trek movie trope. ;)
Four movies straight of the exact same thing over and over again. It sadly has become a Trek trope, at least in terms of the movies.
The trope “St. Michael saves the universe” isn’t much better though is it？ ;)
So I’m not so sure Kurtzman would do the movies better – particularly since he was involved in writing 2 of the 4 you mentioned!
I believe we’ve decided it was first established as “Archer Syndrome”: defined as writing an entire series to show that one single character was responsible for all the keystone events for the Federation in his generation.
By the way, it’s a lot more than 4 of the movies. It’s really most of them.
cartoon lens flares!
I wonder if those reptiloids in the last picture are the same species as Sord from TAS: Jihad.
Oooh. I forgot about those.
Thanks for that Seamus!
I’m really going to have to get out our kids’ set of TAS dvds and rewatch them again. I’m missing too many of the TAS deep cuts.
Tiger2, have you watched TAS yet?!! (I’m keenly awaiting a report.)
LOL, I didn’t notice the lens flairs in the trailer until now. I love this show!
I forgot to watch this show for several weeks. Oh, what if I watch multiple episodes in a row? Talk about wackiness factor 9. Maybe I will only watch one episode at a time. Then, I will be able to better appreciate the wackiness. What a nutty programme; I think some of the writers must have escaped from Tantalus V. Ha ha ha.
This episode was awesome.
“Not on-a MY watch!”
Definitely the best one to date. If next week’s episode is even half as good as this, it will be the best season finale since Voyager’s “Endgame”!
