Did First Contact scare the poo poo out of anyone else when they were super young?

Like I had no idea what Star Trek was really other than it wasn't Star Wars and someone took me to see First Contact in the movie theater and I can still remember being scared shitless seeing metal borg poo poo pop out of Picard's face.
no but i cried when he recited his moby dick quote that ended up being completely wrong so

I think later Trek is missing a lot of the latent racism and sexism that he likes.

Maybe not totally gone, but not as obvious.

I had a revelation about Roddenberry quotes today. They're like Chinese Fortune Cookies so you have to append 'in bed' at the end.

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.
In Bed

The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I hope that 'Star Trek' has helped to show us what we can be if we believe in ourselves and our abilities.
In Bed

A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.

There's a new Trek coming out. The ship is far away from Federation space so they have to do whatever it takes to get back!
There's a new Trek coming out! It takes place before the original series so tech like the transporter is new and untrusted!
Got it with SW too- prequels! Young Yoda who fights!

So much disappointment.

Well the latter two are my experience. I only got to see the last season of Voyager when it was still on.

True, but the racism is generally more subtle after that.

The latest episode of Voyager here was the one with the Andy Dick holodoctor and I don't care what happened in that episode because it's Voyager because that gently caress killed television's Troy McClure! That gently caress!

Oh wait, that's right, it had the Prometheus, the KUNG-FU ACTION GRIP gimmick spaceship. That was stupid.

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
DID SOMEONE SAY ANDY DICK???

quote:

Last week Jon Lovitz beat the crap out of Andy Dick. It all happened at the legendary Laugh Factory, where the owner, Jamie Masada witnessed the whole thing. He told press, "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose."

The feud has been going on ever since beloved comedian Phil Hartman was killed by his flipped-out wife. Lovitz maintains that it was Dick that set the whole thing into motion. "Andy was doing cocaine, and he gave Brynn some after she had been sober for 10 years. Phil was furious about it - and then five months later he's dead," Jon told press.

Then, last year, there was a strange exchange between Dick and Lovitz. While dining out with friends, Lovitz says Dick came to his table and started trouble. “He looked at me and said, 'I put the "Phil Hartman hex" on you - you're the next one to die.' I said, 'What did you say?' and he repeated it. I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women."

Then last week, the two encountered each other again. And Jon was looking for an apology from Dick. Instead he got more lip. When Lovitz asked Dick to say he was sorry, Andy replied with “do you want to be in my movie?” That was the last straw. “I grabbed him by the shirt and leaned him over and said, 'I don't want to be in your movie! I don't want to be in your life!' I pushed him against the rail. Then I pushed him again really hard. A security guard broke it up. I'm not proud of it . . . but he's a disgusting human being."

Make Jon Lovitz the new captain.
