The earth can barely take it. Don't the writers know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shuma Gorath Posted November 24, 2006 Members Share Posted November 24, 2006 Any episode with time travel. What really bugged me was just how damn often it happened. If it was that easy to time travel I think the continuity of the entire universe would be changing on a daily basis. And I guess this doesn't count as a bad episode but can the fricking aliens that evolved on a totally different world a bajillion light years away look a little more different from humans than just pointed ears or a thing on their nose.

The "aliens have ridges" thing bothered me too. Couldn't they be a little more creative than that? I also agree that there should be more science in science fiction.

That's actually explained in a two-part TNG episode... It can also be explained outside the context of the show with the theory that the bipedal predatory form (i.e., the humanoid form) is often at an advantage, and thus is the most common form to dominate an planetary eco-system...

And often at the beggining of every TNG episode as well... The Slogs are a big Starfleet family, since they seem to occupy every level of the hierarchy, there's First Officier Slog, and Chief engineer Slog, and so on... I wonder why we never see the Slogs on screen in any of the series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lokidecat Posted November 25, 2006 Members Share Posted November 25, 2006 Any DS9 episode was crappy. One of the biggest draws for me was the exploration aspect. Having the "exploration" come to them at a stationary Bjoran/Cardassian outpost thingie was just.. pssh..

That only goes so far though. Based on that you might expect something similar to the humanoid form to be common, but you would not expect all aliens to be identical to the humanoid form except for nose ridges. Where are the feathered ones? Where are the seven-eyed furry ones with horns? Where are the tails? Tentacles? Extra apendages? Where are the exceptions that prove the rule? In other words, where is the variety that nature loves so much? TOS had the Horta, TNG had the Crystaline Entity and Tin Man but none of those were really characters in the show. Some interaction with those creatures was done but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are to learn anything of value from "Star Trek," it's that the universe is filled with vastly different styles of foreheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked this episode. Spock partook in the jam session and in the end the hippies were proven wrong. What more could you ask for? Herbert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkee1 Posted November 28, 2006 Members Share Posted November 28, 2006 Who are we kidding??? There areno bad Star Trek episodes!!! Some are great because of compelling stories, some are great because of silly costumes and bad special effects, some are great for the creation of amazing catchphrases, and some are great because of the level of scenery chewing. There is something to like in EVERY episode, even if it's only the fact that you can make fun of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilot was "The Menagerie", with Captain Pike. No! Lost Horizon is the pilot. Gene Roddenberry was in a bomber squadron that was based in England. One of the 4 movies they had was Lost Horizon. He watched it over and over. If you watch the movie you can see the uniforms of the people in Shangra La are the same ones used for Capt. Kirk and crew. Also the doors open with the identical peeuuu sound. There is even a Shangra La epsode of the original series to pay homage to the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
