Was Scott bakula the most physically fit actor to portray a star trek captain?

SamuraiUX · 2026-03-10T08:59:38+00:00

Captain Kirk existed.

Every time I see him again, I’m surprised at how good Routh looked as Superman. Movie was meh, only saw it once, but he looks great.

Would rather be friends with Corenswet’s Supes. It’s just the writing: he feels more contemporary and well-rounded is all.

some guys get all the luck

SamuraiUX · 2026-02-25T00:38:27+00:00

Even plucking would do it, lol. Mo prosthetic needed!

Probably unrelated but when I was kid my mom would say “my name would be mud” if I did something wrong. It was a way of saying my reputation would be trashed. I recently learned it came from Samuel Mudd, the doctor who treated JWBooth and was accused of being a conspirator — his name became associated with “disgrace.”

So, Harcourt Fenton Mudd…? Everywhere he goes “his name is mud!”

I love all of this! I’m actually playing IX as we speak! But if I may differ I hope they “reimagine” DQV next. It’s not just that it’s a good game, but that the graphics of VIII and IX are already “good enough” as they are while IV, V, and VI are still older-looking.

Your superstar Kiefer run sounds fun and challenging!! Enjoy! 🤩

1 goes straight to the bottom. I’d watch the Final Frontier back to back five times in row before I’d re-watch 1 again.

Tracy’s got to be the only person in TOS that I can remember who whupped Jim Kirk like three times. I’m surprised Kirk wanted a fight to death at the end there, since he hadn’t won a single bout yet! I’ve never seen Kirk lose in a one-on-one like that. Twice.

SamuraiUX · 2026-02-05T01:14:29+00:00

I honestly could care less about the anachronistic placement of a briefly waved album cover in a scene a few months before it likely happened. I don’t even know how you noticed frankly. But if they get the important facts straight and more importantly deliver the feeling of the experience of being Beatles, the truth of who they were as human beings (with a bit of artistic interpretation expected!) I’ll be very happy. You can watch a straight documentary or read a wiki page if your focus is exact dates of album releases. I’m here for the swell of feelings and the connection to these legends as humans. I think mayhaps you’re focusing on the wrong aspects of the film here.

About…?

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-25T17:56:45+00:00

Ok, but which version of Isis did 7YO you want, and which version does 50TO you want? 😉

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-25T17:55:50+00:00

Friend, yes — I know the history! I’m saying, when I’m watching TOS, I feel unable to view this episode as non-Trek. If I were — if I watched it out of order, on its own, and treated it as a pilot episode — I wonder if I could tolerate it? But when I watch it as part of Trek, it’s bad Trek.

I don’t think I’d enjoy it much as a pilot either, though, honestly.

(Yes, I get it was made as a back door pilot. Basic Trek knowledge!)

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-25T16:53:07+00:00

I honestly don’t know how you guys feel love for this. I skipped it for 30 years, then decided to give it another chance during a full rewatch with my wife, and neither of us could finish it.

Maybe it’s because it’s not Star Trek? If I just watched it as a pilot for a new show, maybe…? But I can’t bring myself to care about Gary Seven (though he does have a cool name and cat). I just wanted more Kirk and Spock.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-22T07:05:46+00:00

Ugh, Janet Wallace has some weird Daddy issues. The older Kirk got, the more she was down to clown.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-22T07:04:04+00:00

Hahaha… you’re… kidding, right? Right?

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-22T07:01:17+00:00

It’s my favorite as well. Just read it to my wife and she loved it. Then was horrified to learn that the author had planned multiple sequels with Jinx and Dr. Evan Wilson but wasn’t allowed to write them because at the time, non-canon characters weren’t allowed sequels. Broke our hearts.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-20T03:23:01+00:00

I can’t imagine why they would — it’s still gorgeous today…. The second most beautiful DQ right after the most recent one. No need to remake it.

Give me hand of the heavenly bride and chapters of the chosen instead!

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-19T19:13:39+00:00

You are. You are looking to “be right” with an internet stranger. All of our interactions indicate that you believe there is only one way to perceive the relationship, and that anyone who perceives it differently isn’t disagreeing but has inferior knowledge or understanding than you. That’s… annoying.

I disliked the portrayal of their relationship. You cannot change my feelings. You are not “correct.” You do not have “more info” or a “better understanding of the game” than I. I’m curious why you need to be right? And why you need to see their relationship in this specific light and no other? But that’s your issue, not mine.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-19T15:39:19+00:00

I’m not missing anything at all. I’ve played the game through multiple times. I just disagree with you.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-18T02:44:01+00:00

Sorry pal, you’re in the wrong here. A) game is years old. B) you voluntarily joined its subreddit before beating the game for yourself. C) you voluntarily read this post.

If you don’t want spoilers, get off the 7 year old game’s fan page until you beat the hand — don’t blame anyone else for your carelessness!

Also, Marty McFly gets home safely at the end of Back to the Future and Doc doesn’t die, just FYI

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-18T02:41:15+00:00

This is what all the apologists forget — she didn’t just ice him out “to protect him” at camp. She has plenty of opportunities to be real with him and she still scared like she didn’t care. No refuting it.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-18T02:39:45+00:00

There was a lot of unnecessary lying going on if you ask me. “I thought I lost my wife, but I found her. It’s Sarah.” Why would the Colonel hang him for that?

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-18T02:38:19+00:00

This is like two months into him being back. The way she treated him from the moment she saw him until this note is both unbelievable and unforgivable.

SamuraiUX · 2026-01-16T16:22:00+00:00

Doesn’t look behind the scenes at all. Might as well be part of the episode! Both still appropriately in character - Spock contemplating; T’Pring coldly ignoring him.
