Forum Overview :: Star Trek Online :: Oh yeah

[quote name="laudablepuss"]I always remember something after I hit post. Anyway, does it need to mentioned that TMP was also trying to be 2001: A Space Odyssey? And Spock crying on the bridge because of the feels is Deanna Troy's dumbest scene in Encounter at Farpoint. Roddenberry had certain ideas, some great and some pretty dumb, and kept going to them. Which is fine, but it reminds me of another thing I think is true: Kirk and Picard are the same guy. He knew how to write ONE captain, and that's the guy we got both times. Now, in different decades and played by very different actors, but these guys have way more in common than not. Later writers on TNG would expand Picard's character way beyond the treatment that Kirk's character got. I just think it's a little odd to say "Picard was the better captain!" Yeah, TNG was the better show. So whatevs ;)[/quote]
