idle thought #44
on star trek: the next generation (written at the time before I'd finished the season, though given that I haven't made it far into the second shows how interested I really am in the end)
My issues, thus far, are that the first few episodes were awful, Picard, thus far, is a bit too military/authoritarian for my taste, nobody listens to anyone aboard this ship, especially not anyone with information that might help, there are no shifts, which make a bigger ship than the original feel even smaller, which makes the bridge crew actually more important except Worf's gotten maybe fifteen minutes of screen time, 13 of which was getting beat up or a cold, Yar and Dr. Crusher have little to no personality most of which is cliches, and the bridge essentially looks like a large carpeted room that's had some chairs stuffed in. And Q. Q is annoying. He's like Gabriel (supernatural) without a sense of humor. If you have a sense of humor and can laugh at yourself, even the worst personalities can be fine. If you don't? You're insufferable and I hope you die you waste of space. (well, maybe not that far, unless you're a powerful alien wanting to wipe entire species off the board with a single thought, in which case I take nothing back.)
(I am looking forward to the Borg. There were a few good episodes. I have the feeling it gets good with the Borg.)
