Thoughts of a Flying Sheep

The Jedi Princess and I watched two more episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation last night, Angel One and 1011010101 (or whatever).


Along the way, we've been reading The Nitpicker's Guide For Next Generation Trekkers Volume 1. I'm really rather frightened by the fact that the author looks almost exactly like me. Appearances aside, this is a great book, a must for any die-hard fan. Although I ignore some of the continuity errors ("Her hand is here in this shot, and then there in the next shot"), the plot oversights and equipment oddities are great.

For example, in an episode we watched last night, the Bynars plan on leaving Riker on the ship to re-boot their planet, and Picard, "just happens" to be left behind as well. However, re-booting the planet requires two people, so if Picard didn't just happen to be left behind, they would have been stuck!

If you're a fan of the Next Generation, you'll love this book. You'll never look at the holodeck in the same way (:
