• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TNG and DS9 are the only two series that I really know well enough to make these recommendations for.

  I would highly recommend watching TNG before DS9, even if she likes DS9 better. TNG and DS9 work best as companion shows, with TNG building up a lot of DS9 plot-lines in its latter seasons. I would also highly recommend against starting with any episodes involving Q or the Borg, or any of the series “highlights”. Let those plots build, and you don’t want to spoil some of the best episodes in a sampler. My go-to TNG introduction picks are:

  -Cause and Effect

  -Darmok

  -Measure of a Man

  DS9 can be harder to pick introductory episodes for. Its more serialized nature means that a lot of later episodes have a lot of spoilers. I would highly recommend against picking any episodes that highly involve the Dominion or the Dominion War, let that plot build itself up. That does however, leave us with a lot fewer options. My DS9 introduction picks are:

  -Duet

  -Past Tense

  -Bar Association

  This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse though. Progressive Southern woman’s options are pretty much:

  A) Be celibate B) Move somewhere else C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

  Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

  Mike using his YouTube money to buy and preserve old TV and Movie props is the best arc. Maybe in his retirement he can curate his collection

  Dream set idea: Huge 1701-D set.

  Though not to scale, can be opened to reveal three interior decks. Top deck contains the Bridge, Picard’s Ready Room, and the Conference Room. Middle deck contains 10-forward and Medical Bay, Lower deck contains Main Engineering.

  Minifigs of the Bridge Crew, Guinen, Barclay, Wesley, Ro, and a handful of misc crewmen. Throw in Spot and a Judge Q too.

  I’ll believe it when I see it. That said, I’d be willing to shell out for a Rivendell size and quality 1701-D or DS9

  Disappointed that Marina Sirtis wouldn’t interview, thought I kind of get why. Her role as a woman on Trek is certainly one of the more… complicated ones.

  I have not but I’ll have to check it out. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy being time travellers from the future would certainly be a twist!

  This is an idea I ran by a fellow Trekkie awhile ago. An “Ed Wood” like movie about the behind the scenes of TOS. Satirize it from a place of love, focus on the drama between the cast and the antagonism between the studio and Gene. Quality movie material!
