Pulaski is a TNG character that I usually forget even existed until she is mentioned somewhere.

She's only good to let you know you're watching a season two episode.

Just watched "Relics" and how the hell were they able to just let Scotty go like that? Starfleet Command would poo poo themselves to get their hands on him.

He'd been retired for like 75 years by that point. He's under no obligation to do what Starfleet Command tells him any more, and besides, he'd probably sabotage any ship that tried to chase after him like he did with the Excelsior.

I wonder if Starfleet officers get a pension? Since Scotty's not dead, would they have to reinstate his?

Maybe. Or maybe he's just so fed up with Chang's incessant Shakespeare quoting that he uses a very strong colorful metaphor.

Could be seeing as he's a good ol' country doctor. What does being a "country doctor" mean in the 23rd century? He was appalled at the idea of slicing people open to treat them.

I mean, either tell Shatner stories or stop being abrasive. "Shatner is a prima donna" is common knowledge, but the set stories aren't.

50 years ago right now, 'The Man Trap' aired on NBC.

It's airing right now on BBC-A in better quality than it aired back then.

Useless trivia - Ensign Darnell, the first of many Ensign Rickys to be sacrificed for the good of the Federation, was played by Michael Zaslow. Zaslow would gain great fame in the 70s & 80s as soap opera villain Roger Thorpe. Then he got ALS and died.

Firefly also just doesn't work for me. A friend tried to get me into it when the movie came out and it was just so easy to ignore that I never felt compelled to pay attention. Tried the series later on my own and still stalled after like 3 episodes.

Had a friend who insisted I watch the show. So I watched it, in the correct order, including the movie.

I was not at all impressed. It seems like they were trying too hard to have a diverse cast of characters.
