Ari Reviews Old TV Shows: Star Trek
03:15:38 GMT
has been successful in spawning several spin-off series. This can
mislead people who've never seen the original series. Alright, they
think to themselves, so the followups are all consistently awful.
Still, if there exists a cornucopia of followers, the original must
have been good, right? Wrong.
Star Trek takes place on a space ship. The ship is manned by many
different nationalities and races. The crew gets along famously, and
why shouldn't they? They are all nice people working towards a common
goal, after all. The show tries hard to offer a positive vision of the
future. It's too bad they had to change human nature so drastically to
come up with one.
The leader, Kirk, is naturally a generic, North American white male.
His main characteristic is a protruding jaw. If you've ever seen an
old TV show that featured a hero with a protruding jaw, you know what
that means. The other leading character is Mr. Spock, who is "Vulcan".
He has pointy ears and funny hair.
In the episode I watched the intrepid heroes receive an uninvited
guest, a 17-year old boy who had grown up without human contact on a
planet believed to be uninhabited. The planet, of course, is really
inhabited by floating green heads that have bestowed terrifying mental
powers on the boy to help him survive on their planet.
On the ship the boy soon gets in trouble because he impetuously uses
his powers for bad. Duh. The crew takes extraordinarily long to figure
out who is behind disappearances, mutilated chess pieces and so forth.
When they figure out the obvious, the heavy duty hand wringing that is
the hallmark of Star Trek begins.
When Kirk and company finally get around to assaulting the boy, they
are offered an easy way out of a tricky situation: the floating green
heads come to take their wayward runaway back. The boy repents his
actions and Kirk actually asks the floating green heads'
representative to leave the boy with him. I think I was supposed to
feel sorry for the little twit, but it didn't really work.
The episode did have a few funny moments, the funniest by far being
the scene where the crew are kicking it back old school on their free
time in the ship's leisure area: Spock strums a futuristic harp, Uhura
recites 'humourous' lyrics and the rest listen in rapt attention.
Entertainment... of the future!

universe.
- You're a connoisseur of kitsch.

Whats wrong with being a nerd?
03:15:38 GMT
Previously I thoughtfully commented:
>> NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD.
To which Ms. Hunter followed up:
>Whats wrong with being a nerd?
I'm glad you asked, Ms. Hunter, because I think this is an
important topic that should get more attention on Newsnet. I'll do my
best to answer your question, Kathryn (if I may be as bold as to call
you Kathryn).
To put it bluntly, nerds don't contribute to the war effort. Picture,
if you will, Osama bin Laden in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan - long
beard, turban and all. Do you think Osama bin Laden is afraid of
nerds? Of course he isn't. Even jocks, those dumb and vacuous oafs,
aren't afraid of nerds; why would an infamous terrorist leader with
followers all over the Islamic world be scared of them? I can state
with confidence that, should Osama bin Laden still be alive, he's
confident in his ability to give any and all attacking nerds wedgies
they won't soon forget.
I entreat you, good people of Newsnet: Do _not_ to let your sons and
daughters grow up to be nerds. Otherwise the terrorists have already
won.

Nerds don't cause wars though Why should we go clear non nerd messes? Nerds
are not terrorists.
Just cos the rest of you are a step behind us on the evolutionary ladder
doesnt mean we should take responsibility for your stupidity. If you want
to go and get yourself killed then please feel free! You'd make the world a
better place :o)

I can assure you that I haven't caused any wars, Kathryn. I simply
acknowledge the importance of everyone banding together to fight the
Axes of Evil, because the Axes of Evil must be fought or the
terrorists have already won. The Axes of Evil want to cut you down,
Kathryn; never forget that. Normally I would be very upset by your
hurtful insinuations, but right now I have visions of girls wearing
lab coats in my eyes, so I forgive you.

Axis of evil my ass, there are more people against this war than for it, and
unfortunately its statistically impossible for them all to be nerds.
While I agree Sadam is a dictator, there are a hell of a lot of those
about - how come Mr Bush isnt trying to declare war on all of em...
Oh and please note that the empty warheads found by the weapons inspectors
were supplied by the USA around 20 years ago
And the USA also helped get the Taliban into power....
Gotta appreciate Karma, it just loves to bite you in the butt.

Yes they do. Who do you think invented smart bombs? Or dumb ones, for
that matter.
