That sounds good. I have all three days off.

Also, the random character appearance generator gave my character a gay porn mustache.

Speaking of Star Trek: Do I bother with watching the original series, or go straight to TNG?

Hard to say.

I think both are worth watching, but you don't necessarily have to have watched one to appreciate the other. Keep in mind when watching TOS that the series is from the 1960s, and it had a limited budget even in that time. As a result sets, special effects, and costumes can look cheesy and a lot of stuff gets reused. There are also quite a few retcons (the biggest one being the Klingons; TNG Klingons are how they're generally portrayed in modern media but TOS Klingons basically just look like Mexicans).

I think TNG is ultimately the better show, but the Kirk-Bones-Spock dynamic in TOS makes it easier to identify with characters.

Yeah def. go with TNG. The show, especially the first few seasons, can be a bit cheesy at times, but overall it has to be one of my favorites of all time.

One thing I liked about TNG vs TOS is the way they handled away teams.

TOS: We need to explore this highly dangerous planet. Who should we take?

The Captain, chief engineer, helmsman, chief communications officer, chief medical officer, and the science/first officer. Plus maybe a redshirt or two.

But basically, if something happens to the away team the whole ship is totally fucked.

That's why you take the redshirts. That way you KNOW who is going to die.

I like it better when they bring Scotty, Chekoff, Sulu, and Uhura too. Just so literally EVERYONE of any importance to the ship is vulnerable at the same time.

It may not make sense, but imagine how boring things would be without the key characters being in danger. Even if they initially sent a team of nobodies to investigate something, that team would get wiped out or captured and still it would be up to the A-Team to beam down and save the day. See Stargate SG-1, Atlantis.

I could go on about the various annoyances I have with ST. There's the problem of the ever exploding warp core. Seriously, how many warp core plot device..erm breaches have we seen?

I have probably seen 50+ episodes of various Star Gate series and not a single thing happened in any of them. So fuck Star Gate.

People on interwebs are saying that the game has been going down for maintenance a lot since it went FTP.

I don't think they were prepared for how many new accounts would be made.

As long as they can catch up and handle the load I guess that has to be a good thing.
