All Things Star Trek

[Manroon]

Ah, BRAVO HOBBIE! Way to start at the beginning! All my point are belong to you. Also, your first lesson in Trek Trivia. The Man Trap, while the first episode AIRED, was not actually the first episode. The technical first episode is The Cage, an unaired pilot shot in black and white with almost entirely different actors. The second pilot, Where No Man Has Gone Before, was aired, but later in the first season. (which made the different uniforms a bit confusing lol)

So.... who's your favorite character so far?

[TheHobbitofDune]

*furiously scribbles down notes* Thanks, that is pretty interesting. My favorite character would probably have to be Spock. Its probably going to change, though. It always does. I also really enjoy the slow pacing of the show, as well as the attention to detail, if that makes any sense. There is just this charm to older shows that I really enjoy.

[Manroon]

*nods* I feel you. Wait till you finish TOS and get to the movies. The detail in those was fantastic, especially the Refit Enterprise and the uniforms. Personally, I've never been able to pick a single favorite character from any of the shows, but for TOS I really like everybody about the same. Perhaps Chekov and Uhura a little bit less, but it really depends on the episode. Chekov has some great episodes, like the Space Hippies, or Specter of the Gun. Gosh I loved Specter of the Gun, that episode was the best! I think my three faves are probably Scotty, Sulu, and Spock though.

[TheHobbitofDune]

Yeah, I'm starting to like everyone about the same, as well. Gosh darn it, you got me addicted to Star Trek This show is just too good.

Another point for you! I look forward to witnessing your growth into a full fledged Trekkie.  (You're welcome. XD)

Chief Security Officer's Log, Stardate 51324.7

The Captain is hallucinating again and has beamed down to a starport on the Northern Continent of Rigel IV complaining of giant lizards in his quarters and itchy fingernails. I've ordered Expendable Ensign 32 to accompany him, by choice of the other redshirts pushing him onto the transporter pad first. Ahhh, the safety of making Lt. Think I'll go get a coffee... Chief Saotome, signing off.

Manny, that is making me yearn for the Jersey even more! I can't tell you how close I came to breaking the "no RPing outside of the RP section" rule there lol.

Captain's log, stardate 1535.9.

I was sad to see Charlie go, but I suppose it was for the best. I honestly believe that, with time, we could have molded that young man into a fine member of our society. But alas, that was never meant to be. He's a boy in a man's body, trying to be an adult with the adolescence in him getting in the way.

[Manroon]

Heh heh. I was wondering when you'd hit Charlie X. Great episode. I always thought Rand was cool. They did some interesting things with the character, and the actress has a great story too as I recall.

[TheHobbitofDune]

I was busy

Anyway, the scenes where Captain Kirk was trying really hard to help Charlie was what really stood out to me. He only raised his voice once, when he wasn't getting through to him, but ultimately, the entire time, he was very calm and patient. I think that says a lot about his character, and it reminds me of moments between me and my dad when I was younger. The scenes were just so... real. Especially when Kirk took Charlie for some male-to-male bonding with the wrestling bit, and when he had to awkwardly explain to him why he shouldn't slap women on the butt (his facial expressions in this scene were hilarious ).

But yeah, Charlie reminds me of me (well, except for the crazed killer aspect).

P.S. I reaaaally want to play three-dimensional chess now....
