It's a very obvious homage to Star Trek, but if you don't mind that it's not the most original idea in the world, it's very entertaining.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
I will say it takes them a couple episodes to find their footing with timing as actors, but TNG took a couple seasons with that, so one can't really complain.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 3:39pmCool and thanks.

What's worse: TNG Seasons 1 & 2 or all of Enterprise or all of Voyager?

I like parts of Voyager, but I I think TNG 1 & 2 is still better because my friend and I made a drinking game out of them.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 5:04pmWhat's worse: TNG Seasons 1 & 2 or all of Enterprise or all of Voyager?

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
I go with TNG's first two seasons because it still contains elements of what it would become and that, yeah, much of it is so bad it does become entertaining in its own right. Enterprise and Voyager had their moments but their awfulness rarely achieved kitsch ludicrousness.Kory wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 5:46pmI like parts of Voyager, but I I think TNG 1 & 2 is still better because my friend and I made a drinking game out of them.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 5:04pmWhat's worse: TNG Seasons 1 & 2 or all of Enterprise or all of Voyager?

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
If Voyager had better characters it could have been more entertaining in its lesser moments, but I can't resist wanting to string up Neelix and Tom Paris all the time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 5:55pmI go with TNG's first two seasons because it still contains elements of what it would become and that, yeah, much of it is so bad it does become entertaining in its own right.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
And Harry and Chakotay. The Doctor is the only truly appealing character, imo, Janeway, Tuvok, and 36 of D are good enough.Kory wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 6:04pmIf Voyager had better characters it could have been more entertaining in its lesser moments, but I can't resist wanting to string up Neelix and Tom Paris all the time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 5:55pmI go with TNG's first two seasons because it still contains elements of what it would become and that, yeah, much of it is so bad it does become entertaining in its own right.

I am SUPER bored at work right now. Does anyone have anything for me to read? Bonus points if it's about, like, Wire or something.
