'Never Leave Me'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Was it really pretentious or was it just trying for more than it could achieve?
Sometimes, it was really pretentious. It hit you in the head frequently with a large hammer known as "the message." To be fair, some of the messages, like racial inequality, weren't discussed at all on television at the time and perhaps they felt the need of hammers. It didn't help that Kirk frequently gave the grand pronouncements at the end, and you had to listen to them through all that chewed scenery.
Hey, I said they were pretty!
You know, I caught an episode of TOS on G4 the other night, and I was astonished at how well it had been remastered. It was very impressive--vibrant colours, crisp lines. I almost got lost in watching the technique of the remaster, rather than the episode about the kids and their Alien God-Daddy.

Agreed. Though I have to say that it was perfection to me as a child. Oh, how I loved it. And Kirk and the boys. I mean, I was catching it during it's first run overseas, I guess, at the time. I wasn't watching it on first run here, but by the time we got here, it was in syndication.
It's still perfection to me, but I can be objective about it, too. I think.
I canna be objective, Captain! I hae not got the power!
I loved it when I was 12-14, but even then I sprained my eyes rolling them over the Yangs and Kohms.
Wheee! after a tortured year of no cable I am getting it back Thursday!!! I'll be able to read and post in this thread again!!!!
I find that I'm pleased Carter is still pissed about Allison's not telling him about the dream-sharing device.
Mystery meat from a cryongenic stasis chamber. Carter, you can be callous and strange.
Isn't cutting your daughter off from caffeine a wee bit anal retentive?
Yeah. And it's not just, "ok, you said sorry, all better now!" He's just... gonna be mad for a while.
