Opinion: Star Trek: The Next Generation-- "The Masterpiece Society"

07 Nov 2009 23:54:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords)
“The Masterpiece Society” is based on another script that had been bouncing around the TNG office. The plot centers around a genetically engineered “perfect” society which does not want the ’inferior’ Enterprise crew among them, even when the crew is trying to save the colony from being...

Star Trek: The Next Generation--"Violations"

06 Nov 2009 16:30:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords)
“Violations’ was borne out of the story outline for “Night Terrors,’ one of the worst Tng episodes ever. Like ’Night Terrors,” the story center around my least favorite character, Troi, so the episode does not have much going for it.

Opinion: Star Trek: The Next Generation--"Unification II"

03 Nov 2009 20:17:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords)
It is not that bad, but the opening verbal duel with Spock and Picard is the weakest of both episodes. They are just throwing out all of Spock’s plan in one lump in order to justify his being on Romulus before the action starts. Jeri Taylor even makes an effort to distract us with aquip from Spock...

May I now present ’The Game,” which shall forever be known as the worst episode of Tng and a portent of some of the dreck Brannon Braga would write through the rest of televised trek’s run. This episode was so bad, Gene Roddenberry died what the before it aired just to spare himself the agony.

Kate Mulgrew hasn’t seen Star Trek XI yet, but if J.J. Abrams came along and offered her a part in a movie, she wouldn’t turn him down. Mulgrew explained why she hadn’t yet seen the Star Trek reboot. “I haven’t, but not for any bad reason,” she said. “It’s a reason of comfort. I did Star [...]

Star Trek: The Next Generation--"The Loss"

I do not have a whole lot to say about ‘The Loss.” The episode combines two of the worst elements of TNG: a Troi story involving a techno babble solution to a conflict. Granted, both those situations have their amusing points. Troi’s temporary loss of her powers reveals her true character for t...
