I get a chubby watching Doc Brown and Dan Fielding in space. [video=youtube;ze3dRODgAiA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze3dRODgAiA[/video]
Two of my favorite star trek moments: [video=youtube;UM1VHvpdsco]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM1VHvpdsco[/video]
The overacting is partly part of the character at some point, imo. Of course, that is why I can tolerate Capt. Janeway. You see it as terrible acting, I see it as an aspect of her personality.
Since this thread has raised the nerd bar even higher on this forum, I need to reassert my nerd dominance. I got this off of Amazon this week: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation_Interactive_VCR_Board_Game Unopened. Got to find some folks to play it with me. Only found one so far.
In a way, yes. The background of her character that the producers and writers told Mulgrew was that she actually was neurotic and a little crazy, and not really fit for command. Seriously. Later, a novelized portion of the unaired backstory shows that she was forced to make some kind of choice between saving her father and her lover, and she was paralyzed with indecision resulting in both of their deaths. The only reason she wasn't washed out of star fleet with a case of the coo coo crazies was because of her family's history in star fleet.
Interesting. I guess that fits with her breaking every star fleet rule in the book in the final episode.
Yeah, that's rocky mountain high. I was perusing my mom's closets the other day and found an old Star Trek: The Game I purchased some time ago. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3419/star-trek-game
She's really breaking rules throughout the show, if you think about it. I'm not even sure her decisions that ultimately led to them being stranded weren't clouded and warped by her craziness. You'd think they could have somehow used the device and still had it be destroyed.
