'Scotty Drinks Alien Under the Table'
I agree on that. But I also enjoy Disco and Picard.I really enjoyed Lower Decks and I must admit I hate Rick and Marty. Sorry.
I just had a "wait a minute..." moment 50 years in the making. In "City on the Edge of Forever" Kirk comes home from shopping: "I've brought you some assorted vegetables, baloney and a hard roll for myself, and I've spent the other nine tenths of our combined salaries for the last three days on filling this order for you. Mr. Spock, this bag does not contain platinum, silver or gold, nor is it likely to in the near future."
But they were working in a soup kitchen. Why would he spend any of that money on food instead of the much- needed electronics, if they can eat for free?
They were clearly in need themselves, and I think it was accepted they would eat there.Isn't it bad form to help yourself to the soup kitchen's soup when you work there yourself?

Lower Decks is pretty poor.
I always wondered if Bill Shatner and Joan Collins got jiggy during the making of that episode.
Oh I really do miss Clive James so much, he was a clever and witty fellow.
One of the channels on the tellybox showed his 'postcards from' series recently, and he just managed to effortlessly bumble along, absolutely charming.
What a loss.

Well that settles that. But since she now totally misunderstands the character she played, maybe she's not so clear on the rest of it, either.Gawd, no:

I fell apart at Clive James as a TV critic. I particularly liked his collected articles collated into ’The Crystal Bucket’. I totally lost it on his review of The World Disco Dancing Championship’.His books are dazzling, too. Certainly my favourite nonfiction author by a long way, and he was a rare poet and gifted critic.
As the floor pulsed with light and the air shook to the sledgehammer beat, one dancer after another gallantly attempted the impossible task of shaking off his own pudenda without touching them.
We did have one briefly, ages ago, but I think it was lost in an automatic purge a few years back.
James was brilliant. I own every book - bar two - that he ever wrote. I agree all five volumes of his autobiography are magnificent works, the last two especially both brave in their personal admissions and still very, very funny. Anyone wanting to know how Western thought and culture in the 20th Century formed can do much worse than reading Cultural Amnesia. Feel free to start one and I'll wax even more lyrical on it.
Perhaps then we can get back to Starfleet on here?
