ST:TNG Rewatch

[logansrogue]

Manhunt

- I want the material they made Lwaxana Troi's dress out of. I'd have that dress, though less ostentatious and a little more refined. Beautiful, though.
- HAHAHA. Wesley Crusher laughing about Lwaxana Troi complimenting Picard on his legs will be FUNNY TILL I DIE.
- Wow. Lwaxana's clothes are SO GORGEOUS. I must either be getting an older woman's taste in clothes, or they dressed Majel Barrett like a fox for this role.
- The contact lenses they used for Lwaxana are too big. They don't look too big on Deanna, but they do look too big on Lwaxana. Makes her look like one of those people with the superbig anime lenses on.
- When I was younger, Lwaxana was hilarious. Her pushiness towards Picard just makes me super uncomfortable these days.
- I never realised Mr. Homm was an alcoholic when I was younger.
- Wesley: You're handsome, for a Klingon. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! OH WESLEY. BWAHAHAHAHHAAAA!
- OMG LWAXANA COMPLIMENTING WESLEY OMG LOL.
- Only Majel Barrett could carry off those ridiculous ruffles. The clothes from the latter half of the episode are pretty hideous.

The Emmisary

- Suzie Plakson is fucking awesome. End of story.
- This is why Kheyler was my hero as a kid.
- Suzie Plakson is fucking TALL.
- Worf: You are late. Kheyler: Sorry. Had to make myself beautiful. WHY WASN'T SUZIE PLAKSON IN THE ENTIRE SERIES? SHE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT.
- "DON'T GIVE ME THAT KLINGON NONSENSE!" <3 <3 <3
- "I will not be complete without you." D'AWWW. THIS STORY ALWAYS BREAKS MY HEART, YO!

Peak Performance

- You know, when I was younger, I didn't really give much notice to Riker as a character. Now that I'm older, and I've met a lot of people and know a little more about the way life is, I think he's kind of awesome. He has a true heart and a dedication to his work and to people that need help, it's kind of awesome really. I like it when he gets to express that side of himself in episodes.
- Stratagema is like a cross between a milking machine and a PowerGlove.
- Wesley, you cheater! LOL! That was a Kirk move, that one. He totally Kobayashi'd that fucker.
- I love Pulaski. She's super awesome. <3
- Wesley LEAP. I recall rewinding and playing that over and over as a teenager and laughing my arse off for some reason.
- I love it when Armin Zimmerman moonlights as a Ferengi randomly. It's fantastic. It's like he IS the quintessential Ferengi. He MADE the Ferengi, practically.

Shades of Gray

- Ugh. Clip show.
- Wait. Instead of triggering his memories to get his body to create a certain set of hormones, why not synthesise them and shoot them into him? I mean, it's the future, they can do that shit, surely?
- Fabulous medbay blankets. Purple sequins are my *favourite*.
- Make Riker think some more clips! We've got five minutes to go!
- Where would their laughie endings be without Data's Straightman act?

Evolution

- You know it's going to be a great episode when the first scene opens to Wil Wheaton drooling on himself as he sleeps.
- Wil Wheaton has a cold. He sounds nasaly. I mean, more than normal.
- Teehee. His adult facebones are setting in.
- It's so nice to have Beverly back. Her hair remains incredible.
- HAhaha. Beverly's worried Wesley's so well-behaved. Obviously she doesn't know about him and Worf chuffin' doobies with the rest of security in the ship's arboretum.
- Wesley: I always get an A. Wow, he sounded so desolate.
- Stars and Stripes Forever! ALL MY LOLS FOREVER!
- I love it, LOVE IT, that Wesley ends up trusting his Mum, even though they've had a disagreement. The love and trust between Wesley and Beverly is just gorgeous.
- Shit. There are princess lines in the collared jumpsuits. I never friggin' noticed! /costuming nerd
- Beverly's bummed. Her son just created a new intelligent race of beings and she's bummed.
- Wesley's got a giiiirlfrieeeend!

The Survivors

- Wesley's got a tan. LOL.
- Wait. A being obliterates an entire race, and you don't know whether to praise him or condemn him? CONDEMN THAT FUCKER.

The Bonding

- Worf trying to connect with any kid is instant gorgeousness.
- My heart is aching for Beverly and Wesley. Those poor darlings.
- Wil does the scenes where Wesley's trying to deal with his father's death *really* well.
- WHY is Wil Wheaton so brown?
- That ceremony was *so cute*

Booby Trap

- Oh, Geordi, this date is clearly going badly.
- Poor Geordi.
- Wesley is playing Data at 3D chess. This, too, will end badly.
- Wil Wheaton is still brown.
- It didn't end. Lucky for Wes.
- Heehe. O'Brien really did play with ships in bottles. :D
- Geordi looks like he's nursing a cocksucking cowboy.
- Geordi, maybe if you stop looking at women as some incomprehensible monolith, you might have more luck. Douchebag.
- Oh God, Leah Brahms. THIS IS SO CREEPY.
- Oh Geordi, you creep.

I suspect, and this is merely a suspicion, that they were trying to avoid having Geordi be a smoooooooove-talkin' playa, and they went too far in the other direction. The 80s were still trying to figure out how to write black people at all. I mean, we still have problems, but the late 80s black person was a very confused character overall.

Kheyler ROCKS! I adore her!
Lwaxanna always cracks me up!
I love Beverly, but I quite liked Pulaski, too.

I so adored Kheyler! I think they wasted a great character (and actor!) in killing her off.
