Star Trek Meme: day 24
Jun. 28th, 2015 05:04 pmDay 24 - Is there anything about Star Trek that has disappointed you?
Pfff. I don't think the phrasing of the question can get an accurate answer. Or rather: of course there are individual episodes in every single show which I found dissapointing. Or entire storylines. Or lack of storylines and representation (see yesterday). Or movies. But even the movies I didn't like usually have some scenes I enjoyed (the wedding at the start of Nemesis was fine...). Even the storylines I wish they hadn't done (Dukat becomes one dimensional mustache twirling crazy) at times have aspects that spoke to me. (Dukat/Winn; especially the scene where he's temporarily blind and she kicks him out with the pointed reminder of how merciful the Bajorans are).
So has Star Trek, that vast, vast amalgan of so many different creative efforts disappointed me? Not really. Individual aspects, yes, but there was so much more which gave me something, captivated me, spoke to me, that the occasional disappointment was very much outbalanced.
