EARLY ACCESS - Star Trek TNG's EXTREMELY ODD Season 2 Premiere
Comments (10)
I like this episode way more than you guys did, but to each his own! I thought it was a great sci fi concept and executed reasonably well.
On first run, I missed all but like 3 episodes of the first season. This is the first season that I saw in full and really got invested in. I think I had even forgotten that Dr. Crusher was the doctor at first - to me Pulaski was *the* Doctor. It is interesting the different impression that I got of the series, skipping over season 1 like that (for the most part) and coming in on season 2. It was different for others because they watched all of season 1 first and got used to Dr. Crusher.
I remember waiting through the summer for season 2 to start back when it was broadcast. My father and i were very excited for it, and i would say we didnt hate the start. It was fine, but you have to understand TNG was new and we had no concept as to how much better it would get as the season and the show progressed. So we were quite happy at what we had seen so far. With hindsight, you realize how hokey some of the episodes really were.
Please tell me that we'll be referring to her as Polanski for the entire season.
"I don't see how that makes any sense." "I know!" Now _that's_ how you do an intro with a compelling hook!
Season 2 is my favorite season of TNG, although I admit that it's probably not the measurably "best" season of the show. You guys have gotten me to look at Season 1 differently so maybe I'll look at Season 2 differently before you're done with it.
Josh needs to remember there's no "n" in "Pulaski."
What’s the difference?
As the trailer for the episode reveals, the big selling elements of the season opener were Whoopi Goldberg guest starring along with the myriad of changes indicating the passage of time from the first season and the cast reassignments. It doesn't hit us today as obviously as it did back in the day. People who watched the first season were eager to see what had changed. Also, the writer's strike had caused a bit of delay in new shows in general so fans were just happy that TNG survived.
Ya, I just read an article concerning one of the episodes in this season that I can't mention because they have not watched it yet, over one of the writers problems with one of the producers. I'll mention it when they make the uncut video of it.
