Ohh, TNG is creeping ever closer!

I wanted to propose a Galaxy Quest re-watch after you finish Star Trek TOS season 3. I think it would be great for you to rewatch Galaxy Quest with the new content of seeing the original Star Trek as it is a wonderful love letter to that world and you may enjoy the movie in a different way with this perspective.

Without having watched your reaction yet, this is the worst one-two punch on your TOS journey, I think.

I can't wait for the animated series but even more form the Movies!

The main question of "That Which Survives" is: How did Catwoman get to this part of space, and why is she wearing purple?

From a life long Trekker/Trekkie, you should watch the Star Trek Animated Series Episode Yesteryear. I feel it’s the stand out episode of the animated series.

There are about 20 good episodes of TNG sprinkled across 7 seasons...Deep Space Nine has award winning writing and is my favorite Trek spinoff

I don't know that there's that many specific references to the show. The humor plays on sci-fi tropes in general, and I can't really think of anything in there that would be more meaningful with a detailed knowledge of the series.

In response to your comments about the writing in “That Which Remains”: they didn’t have writers rooms back in the 60s. I’m not sure they even really had “Staff Writers”, at least in the terms we think of today. Writers would be contracted to write an episode, they’d be sent some info about the show, and then bam, you’ve got a script. There might be some notes from Gene Rodenberry or CBS, but there wasn’t nearly the level of writer coordination and cooperation as there is today. So Asshat Spock was probably just an artifact of the way shows were written back then.

Yeah my guess is the writer of "That Which Survives" was indulging their own vision of Spock as purely logical. I think it's interesting that certain characters, specifically Spock and another character from TNG, you know who, because of their not quite human, highly logical and intelligent personalities, tend to be favorites of people like me on the spectrum as they say. Obviously you don't have to be autistic to love those characters but it helps. However what we love about them even more are those times when they aren't so purely logical, especially when their moral reasoning becomes more ambivalent in more complicated situations. Btw I'm pretty sure the actor who played Di Amato was in at least one of the Police Academy movies lol, Tackleberry's father in law. With "The Lights of Zetar" I love seeing that late Sixties zeitgeist showing through, just saying, the effects etc., have me guessing that that writers' room was pretty hazy.

Nice reaction 😍😍is George ok? You might need to laugh at his jokes lol 😂

I know it was a mistake but I also wanted you to let us binge watch "Severance"

The Lights of Zetar scared me a lot when I was a kid. I was always afraid to watch it in reruns, but now it's one of my favorites.

I just finished watching "That Which Survives" and I agree with the terrible writing of Spock's lines in this episode. I did a little research; apparently by the time this episode aired, Gene Roddenberry had basically either been pushed out or just checked out , and replaced by Fred Freiberger as the showrunner—but Nimoy had commented that Freiberger didn't really get his character. Earlier on, Nimoy had insisted on rewriting some of Spock's lines to be more in keeping with his character, but by this point in Season 3, the cast and crew knew that they weren't getting renewed, and had largely given up. I started off saying "OK, so Season 3 isn't so bad". Granted, "Spock's Brain" wasn't exactly top-notch sci-fi, but it was entertaining at least. But I've seen a definite drop-off in quality as the season has gone on (though I heard there are a couple decent ones left). The movies are definitely a return to form—I actually think they're better than the original series—and I hear great things about the Animated Series (the writing moreso than the animation), so we've got some better Trek to come.

OK, so did anyone else pick up that Shari Lewis (of Lamb Chop fame) co-wrote the Lights of Zetar? Star Trek and Lamb Chop is not exactly a combination I saw working—but it did! It was a much stronger episode.
