Sacrificing myself for my art

alias_sqbrWell, despite being very (ok, slightly) ill I have drawn...another comic. Not an entirely true and accurate account, we actually watched season 2 first but I felt that would be an unneccesary complication.
Cam's anti-spam measures seem to be working which is nice.
While I did enjoy some of the episodes I still don't think I'd watch it except over Cam's shoulder. I find myself increasingly put off dramas which use the reset switch every episode, probably because I've been spoiled by Buffy. Still, the fact that very few if any episodes ended with the moral "See, if only you silly aliens had been more like the crew of the enterprise (ie mildly liberal middleclass americans) none of this would have happened!" was a definite plus. And I now understand why the one black human character gets so little attention, it's not racism it's because the actor is really annoying.

Season one is just mostly crap, though Riker is SO PRETTY (shush, I like Riker), season two sucks partly because they still hadn't hit their stride and partly because Polaski, from season 3 it gets good. They do actually start having continuous development, too, though TNG inherits something of the original series' episodic style, where they knew their eps would be shown in about random order and weren't allowed to have ongoing development.
... yeah, still a closet Trekkie.
