Saw My First Episode Of Star Trek


Era Might

Recommended Posts

Welcome to Star Fleet! Star Trek the Next Generation is in my opinion the best written of the series with the best character development. The science fiction is and always has been first rate. Prepare to be sucked in.

So I was flipping the channels and I happen upon a slick man in a casino talking to an albino-faced monotone named "Data," a guy in a beard, and a black guy with a deep voice. I've happened upon this program before, but always changed the channel immediately. But this time was different. The story was interesting. The three guys were stuck in a casino hotel, and they couldn't get out. Then they found this guy who's been dead for 200 years in one of the hotel rooms. Then they found a lame novel that aliens had apparently read, and the monotone Data ascertained that the aliens had built the casino in imitation of the novel, thinking that the novel described how humans lived. Long story short, the monotone, the beard, and Barry White outwitted the proprietor of the casino hotel, and the three of them escaped.

So what does this mean? Will I be instinctively drawn to watch this program again? Am I become borg? I'm at a very strange place in my life after seeing my first episode of Star Trek. I liked it, and that scares me.

Oh, that is one of the best TNG (The Next Generatiion) episodes! I remember it from when I was kid. And no, you are NOT become borg. Fear not. Trekdom is fun place to be.

Btw, I can probably answer (or point you in the right direction of an answer) to just about any question you have. I'm a life-long fan.

The original episode on today was the one where Kirk kisses Uhuru. TV history.

Don't be scared. Everybody has an inner nerd that loves this stuff. Just some of us allow that inner nerd to be seen. Like me.

oh my goodness, I loved modeling that! I'm going to have to model every Enterprise soon enough!

Star Trek is a cultural icon for a reason - enjoy it. There is lots of great stories!

Oh, that looks so cool! Will you be able to finish it with lettering and such, or is it done? And I'd absolutely love to see more ships!

I may do that - I'm working on my game level - and it's going to take a long time - but with long projects, sometimes you just want to de-plug from them and work on something else.

I'll probably work on each ship right after I the semester is done - except the JJ prise! It looked ugly, and I hate it!

You are making a game?

Yeah - I'm working on a game level in Unreal devoted to a super hero I imagined named Kurall.

Here's a link to what I have so far this year -
