TNG: Justice
[Trek Talk]
The TNG staff and writers must have noticed they had lost momentum in their attempts to keep the sex alive and in the forefront for the first series of TNG because by the time they got to the 8th episode, TNG: Justice it was back to T&A. or rather in the equal opportunity world of the future, big tits on the female models and big biceps on the male models.

Posted by: leopoldo on October 20, 2004 07:16 AMWhat about the prime directive? The Edo were a primitive people without warp drive or even space travel. Starfleet violated its non-interference rule by beaming down there in the first place.
Posted by: Dietrich on October 19, 2004 10:49 PMThe Edo children don't worship sex (at least, not yet)! They worship playing ball...

Posted by: Diane Gibson on September 8, 2003 02:04 PMI despise watching this one. Whoever wrote it must have been half-crazed by testosterone. I kept expecting them to discover that the natives had 'coincidentally,' along with skimpy clothing and acquiescence, developed a taste for loud fast expensive cars and movies starring Vin Diesel. And don't even *talk* to me about their 'God'... the only thing the Edo worship is sex.

Posted by: Diane Gibson on September 6, 2003 05:26 PMnot recommended for movie buffs, as it is pretty laughable trhoughout. Only for diehard fans of Wil Wheaton or Sean Asten.
Posted by: dyingofluv on September 5, 2003 05:01 PMWell, I for one am glad Wesley stayed in his own clothes, because Guys With No Shirts On Make Me Nervous!
But anyone who is interested in seeing Wil Wheaton without a shirt is advised to check out the 1991 film 'Toy Soldiers'.
Well for one thing it would give all these poor teen girls whose brothers insist on watching the show instead of what the girls want to watch, something nice to look at! Eye candy, if you will. If you need an example take a look at karlakrusher up there, she's enjoying herself anyway...
Alright, i admit I'm not above the pettiness ... at the time the episode aired I would have found it pretty pleasant myself.
Posted by: dyingofluv on September 4, 2003 10:32 AMAnd just why is the idea of Wesley wearing one of those costumes rather pleasant?
Posted by: kshatriyahgirl on September 3, 2003 06:20 PMYes, that's my sister. Her name is actually Serena.I see you've read Metamorphisis too. Very good. I was wondering if (and when) someone would catch that.
Posted by: Diane Gibson on September 3, 2003 12:35 PMHey Diane, you wouldn't *happen* to have a sister named Selena, would you?
Posted by: dyingofluv on September 1, 2003 06:33 PMOhhh i lOVE the cartwheel, too...
Posted by: karlakrusher on September 1, 2003 10:36 AMGeordi wasn't part of the away team! And what about Worf? Now he would never have worn something as stupid as those native costumes. And just why is it a pity that Wesley didn't wear one of those native costumes?
P.S. I really like it when he does the cartwheel.
I am quite sure that Rekirk.. er.. i mean Riker was all ready to get into costume and get it on. As for Wesley.. oh, poor poor Wesley. If you ever hear an interview with Will you get to hear him talk about how he was reacting as a normal teenager would but had to hide it because that is simply not how Wesley would react.
Posted by: Leopoldo on August 29, 2003 08:18 PMMy biggest problem with this one is, why didn't the crewmembers wear native outfits?? he he - Troi, Yar, Riker, Geordi, Picard (now THERE'S an idea) ... oh wait a minute. No, then Wesley would have been too embarrassed to beam down, and there goes your episode. Pity.
I mean, can *you* see Wesley parading around in one of those not-there costumes? (Actually, this is a rather pleasant idea.)
They should've had me as consultant.
Posted by: dyingofluv on August 29, 2003 07:54 AMP.S. Leave it to the man to notice the bodies and not the faces. I personally think that Rivan has a very beautiful face, and can only wish that the hair stylists (or whoever's in charge of stuff like that) had not given her that rather unattractive crimped hairstyle, but something more along the lines of the girl who wanted to learn to play ball. That's what I think.
Posted by: Diane Gibson on July 17, 2003 04:56 PMAll I have to say about this episode is 'Poor Wesley'!! I don't blame him for being so embarrassed. I would if I were in his shoes.
