She turned me into a Newt! I got better.
Apr. 15th, 2008 09:15 pmFeeling much better today. Was cheered greatly by Husband, icecream and the TNG episode 'Genesis' which is absolutely Ace! Tying with 'Starship Mine' for my favourite re-watch thus far. Both have Picard crawling around Jeffries tubes like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. As does First Contact. There has to be a link there.
Seriously, apart from a few weirdities in the first half like Bev's 'My face! My face!' act, a bit where it looks for all the world like Worf's woken up with crippling Diahorrea and can't for the life of him find the toilet and Picard deciding to go on a menial 3 day shuttle job because, frankly, he's feeling a bit sick of the bridge, and taking Data because... um... they're rehearsing a play. Yes, that's it, rehearsing a play. Absolutely no mutual spooning going on there, no Siree Bob - it's brillo. It completely changes in the second half too, turning into something that's part X Files, part Alien, part TNG-at-its-mentalist. Deanna's a newt, Riker's pulled his shoulder pad off and is trying to eat Le Captain's Poisson, Mad Dog Murdoch's been busy busy spinning a web in Engineering, Data's merrily mucking around with ladies' pheremones and amniotic fluid with such gusto that I started to wonder if one of Dr Soong's ancestors was one Benry Gale, c/o The Island, South Pacific, Worf's turned into the Predator and is going on a jolly Acid-spitting Raping Spree so Picard has to do the olfactory equivalent of Bugs Bunny dressing up as a pretty lady in order to make Elmer Fudd stop shooting, wolf-whistle and dreamily tiptoe off a cliff edge. Only he doesn't have much time to do it in, because he's turning into a FUCKING MARMOSET!
A Marmoset. Alas, he doesn't spring a tail, because that would have been perfect.
But the very best thing about this episode was...( behold! )
