Oh yea. Good episode. Funny.
Bragging about deliberate ignorance of the world you live in is pathetic. I’m not saying he should watch every episode. Hell I’m not even saying he should watch one, but coming onto a thread about a portion of our culture (good bad or ugly) and BRAGGING total ignorance of it is just pathetic. Once upon a time in the world the willfully ignorant knew to keep their mouths shut.
No investment at all. Just the usual lack of respect for sad people who feel the need to go onto to threads for the sole purpose of telling the world they don’t care. If you don’t care don’t care. I don’t click on NASCAR threads, because I don’t care, no reason to go onto them and tell everybody I don’t care. If they’re at all interested in whether or not I care they can figure it out themselves.
So, we have her to thank for “Spock’s Brain”?
I vaguely remember the Pegasus episode and Riker was disgusting.
Love it or hate it:
This seems like a good “prime directive moment”
;-)
I watch TV for the same reason I read-to be entertained, whether it is an adults only series on FX or narco-mafia novela on Telemundo, Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, or an archaeological documentary-the minute I’m not entertained, I switch channels...
Anybody who thinks a TV show is profound knowledge or anything else but entertainment really needs to get out more...

Watching Amok Time right now.
NOW you tell me!

have you notice “go go” fashion is back?
Read between the lines. The A-sexual alien was a proxy for homosexuals, just as these two characters were proxies for Whites and Blacks during the racially tense 1960s.
The Pegasus episode pissed me off because they should have just stuck to the treaty but kept their mouths shut and not told anyone anything-just destroy the device,and have that stupid admiral courts martialed for engaging in an illegal act that could have gotten people killed-again...
They should have quietly gotten that ship back to federation territory and then Ryker should have reported what the Admiral had done to higher authorities.
That a Commander would disobey direct orders from his superior so that he could presume to dictate diplomatic policy for his government is something that would not be tolerated in any government under any circumstances.
It is possible that his government might CHOOSE to violate the Treaty, and it's none of his F***ing business to prevent them from doing so if that is what they have chosen to do.
Ryker set himself up as a person who was dictating policy to his own government. He took it upon himself to gamble with billions of people's lives, and he should have been shot for doing it.
I’m partial to Orion slave girls, myself.
It was a blatant case of mutiny, and in a real military, the man who behaved as did Ryker would have been shot.
In the last few years there was a TV series called "Revolution".
There was an episode (the last episode I ever watched) in which the Niece of the commander and her friends mutiny.
They break out of jail a captured biological weapons scientist who was being employed by the enemy to weaponize diseases that could wipe out millions. They felt sorry for him missing his family, so they broke him out, pointed guns at their superior officer, locked their superior officer in the brig, assaulted other crew members, nearly allow the weapons scientist to get back to the enemy forces, caused the loss of their ship, the deaths of several of their fellow soldiers, and other offenses too numerous to mention.
Under real world conditions, she and her accomplices would have been court martialed and executed, and it didn't make a D@mn who her uncle was or how high he ranked.
The other members of that military force would have mutinied had she been allowed to get away with such blatant treason.
In the series, she got a stern "talking to."
Yes, I believe Ms. Trimble and her husband launched the first ST fanzine.
Never saw Revolution but I watch so little of modern era TV.
I miss TV shows that were at least sort of honest about doing criminal and treasonous acts.
Not disagreeing with you, but I do have a nitpick: it’s Riker, not Ryker.
So do most other people and they hardly notice the brainwashing that is occurring while they are being entertained.

It's not about you. It's about how propaganda manipulates people into believing bad things. Not watching it yourself does not stop it from being dangerous. Other people are watching it and making decisions based upon the false ideas presented to them.
2001 TV show "24" President David Palmer.
And then of course they followed up with a Female President.
Both were presented as Uber competent, intelligent, clever and completely honest.
These were vehicles of illusion meant to pave the way for lying, stupid, ignorant, lazy, mouthy, Obama and corrupt, insane, vicious lying Hillary.
And the stupid part of the population bought the illusion.
Yes it is.
Yea I really liked SG1 as well.
I wonder why SciFi channel never shows repeats anymore.
Probably too busy with shark movies, ghost hunting and wrestling to be bothered..
