Fireball XL-5, huh?

[firstmutant]

Apparently so. I have never seen the show myself (before my time), but I have heard about it.

[kincsem]

I, uh, saw it when it was fresh...10.30 AM Saturdays. Somebody at NBC bought it.

More bizarro Supermarionation from Gerry Anderson...

[firstmutant]

Great word. Have you seen the wonderous Fanderson site?

This is far too good for TNG!

step-hanger; like a cliff hanger, but much, much smaller.

Tee-hee. A TOS fan to the core, aren't you?

[lonelywalker]

LOL. But ST:TNG was much, much better than that. Most of the time. Except for "Haven" and "Skin of Evil".

"Darmok" is of course the best episode of anything ever.

[firstmutant]

Ah, yes! You would think that sci-fi shows would have many episodes showcasing methods for overcoming translation difficulties.

Ugh. Skin of Evil was simply awful. I refuse to acknowlege it as an episode of TNG--it was instead a small fluke in the space-time continuum.
