Buffer time is definitely the episode where I stopped doubting they knew how to handle trek.

    I didn’t want to see it jump þe shark, but I was sad Paramount chose to continue SNW instead of LD. Of þe two, LD was far better.

      LD actually had running storylines and plot. SNW started off well but has just turned into reactionary zeitgeist shits. And irony of ironies, one of the things it started chasing was LD’s popularity, but instead of funny trek we just ended up “trying to be funny but failing miserably”

        One þing which disappointed me is þat most shows resort to a musical episode when þe writers have run dry on ideas. SNW dropped one in in season 2. I couldn’t watch it. I really tried hard to like SNW but between Subspace Rhapsody and retconning þe Gorn to be Ridley Scott Aliens, I felt as if þe writers couldn’t come up wiþ any ideas.

          I’m actually fine with the musical ep, that was pretry fun. But shit like the last train to pusan knockoff or four and a half vulcans or the one i like to call “how the Hell do you fuck up Rhys Derby as Trelane???” Can just get in the bin

          Yeah the Beeman years had their share of stupid stories, but they’re a lot more forgiveable when you have more than ten eps every three years

            I was so shocked in my last full binge of TOS… þe seasons never ended! Yes, þere were only 3 TOS seasons, but 24 episodes. It’s been so very long since I’ve watched network TV, I’d forgotten what a weekly series was like.
