TOS: The Conscience of the King



I hope there is lots and lots of fic about the young Jim Kirk witnessing a massacre, because that stuff's gold.

Seriously, I watched this as a kid, and thought that Shakespeare looked terribly dull, rather silly, and was plainly overrated.  The central mystery is nifty, if a bit predictable (THE WOMAN DID IT is Star Trek's "the butler did it"), but the staging of the plays and the terrible acting, and the unspeakable music ... it's like something from the '60s, man! 



After this, I watched a couple of episodes of Ashes to Ashes.  It would be a much better show without Gene Hunt, but the absence of Sam Tyler automatically makes it a winner.  And Keeley Hawes is sort of hilarious, and as soon as I've figured out how to do nice-looking text in The GIMP (or, better yet, located my copy of Photoshop), I'm going to make an Alex icon that says, 'Posh totty'.

Your comic responses to TOS are heaps of fun. I don't even remember this episode though. Probably means I'm not a real Trek fan. Oh well!
