We have over 10,000 reviews on the site of all sorts of things, and while the new stuff gets hits, we get the most hits on classic shows and movies. <br /><br />If you should decide you'd like to try, here's how. We're a fun group, if I do say so myself. :)<br /><br />https://www.douxreviews.com/2001/01/so-you-want-to-be-guest-writer.htmlBillie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76676331295462685412023-10-20T13:42:59.751-04:002023-10-20T13:42:59.751-04:00*Ponders* I mostly know older stuff, but could rev...*Ponders* I mostly know older stuff, but could review such things as Wall-E and classic horror and sci-fi, perhaps. The only reviews I've actually put out there are both on BGG for my favorite board game and it's mini-expansion; Keep the Heroes Out and its Great Dreamer expansion, so I don't consider myself a reviewer, I work in QC, but it could be intetresting.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33098650419787072242023-10-20T13:03:00.785-04:002023-10-20T13:03:00.785-04:00You're welcome!

Drop the appalling and mismatched sexism, because I 100% agree with you Billie, it makes zero sense to not allow women be starship captains in the Federation based on what the Federation is supposed to be, and it could have been quite good, but we can't really get past that serious, glaring issue to do that.<br /><br />Looking back, it's sad that they didn't get the budget or the 2 more years the show should have had for its 5 year mission, but man do I love this show overall, flaws and all. It's in my top 5 along with classic Who, the older Scooby Doo cartoons, Sledge Hammer (which if you haven't seen it, it's ridiculous and fun), and the original Battlestar Galactica and the 70s Buck Rogers tied!<br /><br />I'd say that TOS has more good than bad, and when it's good it's fantastic, when it's bad it's almost painful to watch, but I'm glad it exists and covers some serious issues that are still relevant today.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33091046411140787012016-08-02T07:05:49.942-04:002016-08-02T07:05:49.942-04:00Thanks for responding to my query.

I am really happy to see that IMDb list as it's exactly what I wanted!<br /><br />I have started watching TNG because it's available on Australian Netflix (along with TOS, The Animated Adventures, Voyager, Enterprise, and the first two of the new movies). I have seen the old movies numerous times and so am aware of the chronology. <br /><br />My mission now is to source all of the list you provided and view in order of recommendation - and include your reviews for all of them on my adventure.<br /><br />Happy times ahead!<br /><br />tinkapusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741716703254697998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70533651359706872572016-07-30T09:06:34.918-04:002016-07-30T09:06:34.918-04:00tinkapuss, you're very welcome and thanks so m...tinkapuss, you're very welcome and thanks so much for your comments!<br /><br />The movies are listed in order on our original series page, which is here:<br /><br />http://www.douxreviews.com/2000/01/star-trek.html#movies<br /><br />One of the members of IMDb has put together a chronological list of the movies interleaved with all of the seasons of the different series, since <i>Next Gen, Deep Space Nine</i> and <i>Voyager</i> overlapped. <br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/list/ls003269814/<br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76293709809364208442016-07-30T03:26:35.631-04:002016-07-30T03:26:35.631-04:00Embarrassing episode to end on but not terrible.

However, I do feel somewhat bereft.<br /><br />Therefore, I have a question; now I have finished TOS, is it recommended to go through the films first or on to TNG? Or is it a combination of both? And then where? I need a chronological list if anyone has the time :)<br /><br />Thanks for making this experience an even richer one for me through your reviews.tinkapusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741716703254697998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33684905862654894512012-12-24T03:17:47.378-05:002012-12-24T03:17:47.378-05:00Actually, given the whole concept of the series in...Actually, given the whole concept of the series in terms of equality, IDIC and other things, I'm not quite ready to condemn this episode. Janice Lester was clearly insane and I don't think we should be taking her word for it that Starfleet doesn't allow women to be captains.<br /><br />More likely, she probably washed out of Starfleet Academy or failed some test like Captain Merrick ("Bread and Circuses") did - and in her paranoia, chose to believe she'd been denied command became of her gender rather than her incompetence.<br /><br />I've also read a suggestion in one of the 1970's 'zines that Janice's line "Your world of starship captains doesn't allow women" is a reference to Kirk's not allowing women to get between him and his command.<br /><br />All that said, this episode is not a very good one - but it does have its moments, including the one Billie referred to, when Chekov and Sulu refuse to carry out Janice's orders.<br /><br />As for tidbits - get a copy of "Star Trek Lives" if you can - Joanie Winston had a very entertaining chapter about her week on the Star Trek set, which came during the filming of this episode. The crew nickname of the episode, for instance, was "Captain Kirk, Space Queen".<br /><br />There's also a very entertaining anecdote about how Shatner objected to the director (Herb Wallerstein) having him storm out of the briefing room in the wrong direction, where there was no door. ("I know this is the last episode, Herb, but do you really want to kill off the captain by having him walk off into cold, dark space?")<br /><br />Shatner had the Asian flu during this episode.<br /><br />And it was during filming that they got the official word of cancellation; two more episodes were to have been produced and Shatner would have directed the final episode.Jerry Modenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-24252964053283094932012-12-24T00:01:45.324-05:002012-12-24T00:01:45.324-05:00Congratulations!!!!Congratulations!!!!ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70079619801814454392012-12-23T20:14:00.048-05:002012-12-23T20:14:00.048-05:00I love that the 4,000th post was for Star Trek :) ...I love that the 4,000th post was for Star Trek :) Even if it was this abomination of an episode.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53587365352473418732012-12-23T18:30:20.302-05:002012-12-23T18:30:20.302-05:00Way to go, Billie and Ben!
