Well, just got this finished in time. I should probably just enter it as is rather than carrying on noodling with it.

The pain stick stuff was TNG, but I suspect you may have missed the point of DS9 Worf somewhat

I'm pretty biased about this cos the original Star Trek is one of the earliest TV shows I can remember watching as a kid (repeats, I'm not that old). Those early shows are great. Back then Roddenberry wanted to use the setting to discuss issues from the 60s hence the prominent placement of an African-American woman and an interracial kiss. Thing is, nowadays you can look at this and not really notice it but they were really pushing the envolope back then. It also contained some great sci-fi ideas - 'the devil in the dark' where the crew go to help some miners and find a creature that is made up of partially molten stone - that really blew my young mind!
TNG was not a bad series but personally I think it went on too long, ran out of ideas and just became boring. I enjoyed DS9 with all the politics and such bubbling under the surface. Since then though the other series have not been up to much for me - a lot of the fun has gone and as mentioned earlier, a story based around a pineapple cake is just not good enough.

I love that bit in the first alien film where Ripley will not let them back on board and starts quoting quarantine regulations. That really comes home on the repeat viewings where you appreciate that they had the chance to avoid all the carnage.

download the episode of Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcasts in which he interviews Peter "Darth Maul" Serafinowz - hilarious stories about the cast's open-mouthed reaction at the premier as to how boring and racist it turned out to be, including about that intro.
