fannish stuff

TNG:

“The Game” (5.06) ... Oh, it’s like crack. As a child of course i never made that analogy, but with S6 of BtVS and the fannish discussion thereof behind me, i kept saying during this viewing of “The Game,” “It’s crack,” and having to stop myself from saying, “It’s magic crack.”
That scene with Troi and the ice cream? Is one of my big memories of her. So it drove me crazy that it took them like 3 seasons to invent the fact that she loves chocolate. I forever think of her accent on the show as somehow connected with sensuously eating chocolate (ice cream).

Thinking about the little Romulan boy whose parents wanted him to learn Vulcan, it occurred to me that Hi, don’t we have Universal Translators? I mean, everyone always understands each other. Except lots of times Klingons and others will speak their native language. So how do Universal Translators work, exactly?

In “Disaster” (5.05) Troi got called “sir” consistently because she was the one in charge. Later i thought of the discussion about “actor” and suchlike in the Teen Voices non-biased language training.

Season 4 didn’t have many episodes i remembered from my childhood, but many of Season 5 so far (admittedly i’m only about a dozen episodes in) feel familiar.

I always secretly hoped that calling her 'sir' would bring out her inner butch. Never really got over the disappointment...And the way she eats the chocolate is so totally obsessive compulsive. There's a scene in 'The Price' which may have come later where she tries to console herself with chocolatey goodness too.

Well there is that scene in "Power Play" when the entity in her body bosses around Picard.


"The Price" was Season 3. I remember in "Deja Q" (later in S3) Data tells Q that Troi often eats chocolate sundaes to make herself feel better. I forget which episode it was that they first mention that Troi likes chocolate, but it can't be earlier than late S1 'cause i remember being all frustrated for quite a while while watching the DVDs that it was taking them so long to invent Troi's chocolate love since that scene from "The Game" so sticks out in my mind as a defining scene from my childhood memories of watching TNG.

I never watched it as a child - I traditionally come to all of my fandoms rather late, except for Buffy and some random British shows. I started watching TNG after a Voyager S7 episode that Deanna cameo'd in. She was so much more kick-ass there than on TNG and the films...
