that just might be where i left off as that ep is very clear in my normally clouded memory
Wow, that would be weird/cool in a brain connection way.
it was definately the Beard that helped TNG.
Right? I don't think I even noticed the change during in the original run when season two started, nor even later. Not until I started to see reruns of the past seasons did I wonder how the hell he even got the part looking all clean shaven and un-manly like that.
Oh, I just saw Frakes on that Angie Tribecka. Have you guys seen that? Its like Airplane/Naked Gun. Funny as hell. On TBS if you want to try it.

S1 was plagued by trying to hard to be TOS. over emphazied over dramatic music really pulled me out of some otherwise good eps. What worked in the 60s didnt translate well to 87, plus i hated the all-in-one jump suits...they just looked silly. all got better once they added the collars and separated the pants...just the opposite of New52
Yes, there was certainly goodness there, but you're right, all that forced effort to "be something" just kinda weighed it down. But I'm trying to remember if, again, during its initial run, if I found those flaws as glaring as I do now or was it a case of ... as I suspect ... me just being happy to see damn Star Trek back on tv and so that went (relatively) right over my head.
Well, except for those one-piece jumpers. Yes, those were bad even back then.
As for now, just got past Episodes 3:8 Meridian - about the world that phases out of existence every 60 years or so (One of those episodes that are a little too icky-emotional for me as Dax fell in love with one of the planets inhabitants) and Episode 3:9 Defiant - Where "Tom" Riker steals the Defiant to hit the Cardassian home-world. I liked that one okay, better than the lovey-dovey crap.
I never knew until a recently that Terry Farrell (Dax) and Worf actually went out. Not just on the show. I wonder what came first? I assume the producers seen the cuddling and decided to impart it in the show? But maybe the show affair started first? Do you know?
Also, totally off topic but I am waiting for the wife to come home with dinner
I just found out today that Meg Ryan is with John "Cougar" Mellencamp !!
I was like ... WHAT THE ... well ... you know !!!!!
(And no, I have no idea how I got to the point of sharing that with you)
