Star Trekking through the Hellscape of Writer's Apathy (AKA I still don't feel like writing a lot)

When it comes to Star Trek, I love the whole set up of the show where they embrace a new concept practically every episode, with a new adventure and story.  As zany as some episodes can get plot wise, the allusions to real world events or interesting tribulations in general are a lot of fun to engage in.  

The Darmok episode was a neat take on the differing grammar structures of an alien culture, and the difficulties of trying to communicate with a race that speaks in citation.  The episode Q, aside from introducing this omnipotent Q guy of unspecified origin, introduced an interesting (and incredibly pop-culture prolific) antagonist collection of species known as the Borg, that seek the universal assimilation of highly intelligent sapient life without know reason.  I personally love alien parasites, so the Borg were a fun topic of discussion. 

Again, I don't have a lot to say this time around, other than how much I enjoy Star Trek in execution, even if some episode are a tad too much for me.  Now to go subvert a trope. 

Slow Six-Weeks...

I'm not sure what to really talk about this time around.  Snow Crash was zany as heck, but it didn't really interest me that much.  Red Dwarf was actually sort of fun and engaging for it's variation on the inanity factor, but that was just a single introductory episode.  

Bloodchild was great, and I'm a fan of less humanoid aliens myself.  I tend to enjoy there being more major differences in physicality, society and culture when it comes to sentient aliens that humans interact with, so it was fun to read this and see as more and more things were revealed about the Tlic.  I actually understood and agreed with where Butler's explanations came from, coming to really love the concepts of her story.  

This is a pretty short post, but I can't wait to see some more Star Trek
