And then everyone was wearing eyepatches!
Apr. 26th, 2010 08:46 pmI'm afraid that I have to pike on my "do a hilarious macro for every single episode of TOS" project, on account of how it stopped being fun, and made watching Star Trek more of an obligation than a pleasure, and I could not think of a single joke for "Operation -- Annihilate!".
I'm sorry.
Anyway, "Mirror, Mirror" makes me really regretful that Babylon 5 didn't have a hilarious mirror universe episode in which Delenn and Sheridan run an Interstellar Empire and occasionally try to kill each other. It would have been awesome! Londo could have had a beard! And an eyepatch, since in this universe he'd be the one to be captured, enslaved and having eyes ripped out and whatnot.
Unfortunately, I followed that with "The Apple", a really vile episode in which Kirk destroys an alien computer-god and laughs as he leaves the computer's followers to puzzle out self-sufficiency and sex. The bet bit was where the Yeoman of the Week, who is Chekov's love interest, is totally badass at defending herself. I feel bad for women who want to join Starfleet, but are uncomfortable revealing their knickers in the workplace.
I've got to say, though, while I don't mind TOS, and I would walk across coal for Leonard McCoy, I'm really looking forward to getting to TNG. I'm having actual nostalgia for the first season! Also, Star Trek VI, which was my very first encounter with the TOS crew. Is it can be spin-off tiem nao?
I'm sorry.
