Remember Me

Well, we talked in the show about how the first 2/3 tackle a few themes (and have that cool, creepy vibe) but then they kind of botched the ending for the “scifi” wrap up. “The Klingon?!?” “We’ve never needed a crew before.” “I wasn’t talking to you.” Durakken: I thought of you and your crew staffing analysis when Crusher called for Dr. Selar and Dr. Hill. lol good stuff It always astonishes and confuses me how there are some looks – even just facial looks – that are so of-their-time. To look at young Bill’s face, it just screams 1930s-1950s. Not the black-and-white, not the uniform. He just looks so…Great Depression, World War II, maybe 1950s crooner band. I’ve seen older Bill many times over the years; couldn’t NOT recognize the guy, but never associated him with anyone other than “old guy from 1990s television”. But as a young man, he looks like The Greatest Generation incarnate. And I’ve never, ever seen a young man who looks like him, other than some other guys of his time. I am glad you enjoy these pics. As I posted previously, these people “live forever” in our homes in random repeats, Netflix viewings, DVDs and memories. Pretty certain, I will be watching Trek re-runs in my old age! I’ve been doing the math and musing over how I am now older than Sirtis, Spiner and Frakes when they making the show and just thinking about how life, age, experience makes your perspectives so different!! Crazy!! He was in a hilarious episode of Seinfeld, where the gang volunteered to look after senior citizens. Erwin played a wonderful curmudgeon, taunting Jerry: “Oh listen, before you go, would you mind changing my diaper? HAA!” Thanks for posting the pics… Here’s a bit from Seinfeld: ^ ^ 2- After Scotty took ten minutes to circle around the Enterprise God knows how many times in the Motion Picture, I think Star Fleet simply said, “Just use the Transporters.” 3- Seems to be all over the place, except for the one time she only has a minute left. 😉 thanks for your reply Dave Steph Taylor! Yes, some Twilight Zone aspects are just not meant to be explained away. Soooo many times the limits of a 44 minute episode story telling technique are just destroying otherwise amazing story arcs…ugh.. TIMES UP!! LOL… I always got excited when starbases were shown. sadly an underused concept. Dangit- could have been so fun…to explore, I know DS9 was the station for this universe, but so many possibilities…even showing one destroyed by the Dominion would have been AWESOME!!! I enjoyed this episode, but would have been fine without the Traveller or the “use the Force” bits. Indeed I think this would have been better if more of it was in the alternate universe. Basically everything in between the flash in engineering and Dr. Crusher jumping through the portal. But I have a person distaste for technobabble agreed. The Traveler coming in to save the day, then hardly doing anything other than “encouraging” lol Don’t read this, I wanted a quick answer. Just off the top of your head. GO! Well I can only think of two at the moment that focus squarely on Beverly. This one and Sub Rosa. This is obviously the stronger of the two. Any others? She’s been a lead character only a few times, and some of the episodes are pretty good. They just rarely get talked about. Or remembered. “The Host” was great for the gay social commentary, very cutting edge imo at the time. I was 18. Made me think… Really? It was…interesting, I guess, but very minor, and 11th hour. I don’t think we were meant to think Beverly was being close-minded or anything. Provocative…maybe nowadays it would be there, but probably not in 1991. The introduction of the Trill and the “Riker”/Crusher pairing are what the episode’s really known for. So it’s not even really about Beverly’s character, which is sad, because we rarely get to explore that. I think this is it. I liked the Twilight Zone feel of the episode. I only wish they had kept us in the dark until the very end, not involved the
