damn. after two months with no star trek i get stuck with a cliffhanger!
i donated $10 to some torrent pirate because he removed the theme song from episode 17. such a beautiful surprise that i had to give that guy my hard-earned cash. and then another surprise: retro star trek green hoors! ignore the pathetic attempt to subvert accusations of sexism by giving women and their dizzying stink the power; these were green, nearly-naked kirk-style rock-the-alien aliens! only three this time, and much more nearly-naked. it's about time that someone finally is shameless enough to give geeks pr0n and sci-fi at the same time.
episode 18 (last friday) ran with the retro. in a mirror, darkly is a remake of the original series's mirror, mirror, the episode where spock had the hipster goatee. except this one, some red-shirt vulcan takes the shotgun blast! right in the belly! wtf?! what star trek have you ever seen where the vulcans get mowed down by a mob of angry rednecks with guns?! see what i mean? this show is compelling.
also: original series sets, torture, tholians and webs (tho they gave the tholians legs, and they build those webs a lot faster now... hmmm), the same damned bizarro shaft-the-world logo, and a kirk-era ship, the defiant. two days until the stirring conclusion!
too bad they got cancelled. not fair, really. fucking voyager got like ten seasons, and that show _sucked_. ruin it for the rest of us, pricks. man, i bet no vulcan ever got gut-shot on voyager.
