The Russell Macklemore Experience #9
It's going to get worse before it gets better with you know what making 2020 a year to be remembered alongside some other notable years where some serious shit went down.
But that doesn't mean that you should be panicking and buying up all the particular paper and sanigel.
Okay?
Buy to need, not to panic.
But that's all I'll offer up about the time of our lives right now.
Up first, because I think that I'm going to watch two episodes tonight because I don't think I'll be watching any tomorrow, is Haven.
And right away we find out that Counsellor Troi has been promised to someone from the Miller family and she is not at all pleased, though the chest of announcement of her betrothal did spit out of its talking moutha goodly pile of jewels.
Only what good are gifts if you don't want to have anything to do, at that level of arrangement with the person to whom you've been betrothed to.
This is the first mention of Lwxana Troi, who was a role nicely embodided by the person of Majel Barrett, who was an actress on TOS, who had two different roles, first as Number One on the original pilot and thereafter as Nurse Chapel.
She was also married to "The Great Bird Of The Galaxy", the creator of Star Trek, who benefitted greatly from the great work of many collaborators.
Of course, if you're any kind of Trekkie worth your salt, you know all of this, just as you know that the "Great Bird Of The Galaxy" wasn't as great as we would have wished him to be since there was some lesserness in his laudable aims as shown in his greatest work.
I remember in the vaguest way how this episode ends and I would say that it is a sweet one.
I think you'll like it if you should watch it again.
Damn, Troi looks so much better with the long hair than the shorter that she sported throughout the series.
Of course being as young as I was then I wasn't crushing on any of the fine women of this series, the hottest of them of course being Troi, Yar and Crusher in that order.
In mine own opinion of course.
Your preferred of these three women likely varies.
There goes the bride, not long after Riker had left. But no, I don't think she ended up spending any time with Riker who had left to consider the Tarellian ship, which carried a plague ridden race that was thought to have been genocided 8 years earlier.
They got their plague thanks to the stupid actions of war that also infected the ones who unleashed it.
And it was particularly pernicious that it killed peoples from other races.
Oh, I was wrong. Troi found her way to Riker and before long they were joined by the groom to be.
Riker of course was no happy about Troi getting married because he still had his feelings for her.
Oh Deanna and Wyatt, getting their kiss on and she looked very much into it.
Hmm.
We've just met the woman from Wyatt's drawings and she's no Troi as he has drawn her to look much better in art than she looked then as we first saw her.
Again, that's this yakkety man's opinion.
Though from a closer look, she looks better, maybe much so, but still not as hot as Troi.
Look at that. Lwaxana at her most likeable as she talked to Wyatt who had come to her for advice.
He had already decided to do what he had to do when he he was momentarily joined by Dr. Crusher as he was assembling the supplies that were to be sent over to the ship.
And anyone smart enough to be paying attention would have understood this when he said his final words to his parents, just before he kissed Troi for the second and final time.
She whispered good-bye to him like she was going to miss him. And she very well might have.
Oh Lwaxana, making a pass at your daughter's Imzadi after lying(?) about Picard's feelings for her.
And Mr. Homn talked? Was that the only episode that he talked in? I think that it was because hearing him speak was a surprise to me because I didn't remember that when i watched the episode all those years ago on a Saturday Night in November of 1987.
No duh, I liked this episode.
A shame they never touched on the Tarellians again.
And yes, an episode about a plague ridden people, or in reality, the last eight people of that race as we are suffering from what has become a pandemic in the form of COVID-19 on the same day that the NBA season has been suspended in the wake of one player on the Utah Jazz having tested for it is major news.
We've already seen the cancellation of the Women''s World Hockey Championship and now the suspension of theNBA, what's next?
Will there be a Stanley Cup awarded this year, or will it not be awarded for only the third time in its history?
And what of the MLB?
Is this good news for the scandal-plagued Houston Astros?
Probably not, but we might be thinking about other things for months to come to much talk about them and their cheating.
How bad is it going to get before it gets better?.
But again, I'm not here to write about that, which is not going to be the end of us.
Now up, later into the night than I would have thought that it would be save for the fact that I didn't skip through all the commercials that I usually do.
The Big Good-Bye, which is the 12th episode of the series, if you go by the order that the episodes are being presented on the network that I pvred them off of, is The Big Good-Bye, the first episode to feature the Holodekc, because the previous episodes that it was in were only briefly there, like one of the parts of Encounter At Farpoint and Haven.
Dixon Hill was not my favourite character so I might not enjoy this episode.
Or certainly won't enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed the others.
But it's better this than actually seeing the jarada an insect race right?
Damn, Picard likes the holodeck and sure seems intent on getting the command staff into it too, even inviting Dr. Crusher and a one- off appearance of some historian Dr. Whalen.
Data came along too after catching up on the whole history of Dixon Hill.
And then when they were at a newsstand, Data went all encylcopedic in earshot of the newsstand guy, giving away history he shouldn't have.
Though that's a bit of stupid on my part as since they aren't real and will forget everything that was said once the program is ended.
The Jarada though were not going to be unused though as they scanned the Enterprise and messed with the holoddeck while Picard, Data, and Whelan were in there, though it allowed Crushed to get in, which is good for Whelan as he got shot and gravely wounded after the holodeck was messed with.
I read into the wiki of this episode and critics of the time thought that this one was too similar to the Original Series episode called A Piece Of The Action.
It isn't as the fact of it having a gangster in it doesn't make it the same as the aforementioned episode.
Not to me.
And the gangster in question is certainly more interesting than those bums in that other episode.
Two of them died, the head gangster and his snivelling assistant as they stepped off the Holodeck.
Too bad, so sad.
Data was especially fun in this one
That was a stupid language that they used for the Jarada.
But all was well, Picard performed the necessary greeting and presumably, Whelan was saved.
Yay!
Okay, I liked this episode after all.
Quelle surprise you're no doubt saying.
And with that I'm done.
I don't know if you get anything out of these commentaries, but I'm going to continue them for as long as I can, which is sure to be in some months from now.
Will you be along with me for the rest of the way?
I'll not know unless one of you actually comments, but after the few days that I have been here, that seems unlikely.
I just have to accept it.
Live Long And Prosper my fellow good humans. I'll be bback tomorrow, not to write about TNG, but about something, likely hockey. but maybe not as the effects of COVID-19 continue to unfold.
