mothwingI ALWAYS loved Star Trek. When I was six, I first watched the series, TNG and TOS, and I have loved it ever since, have seen nearly every series, and every episode of every series apart from that terrible new one at least three times. Star Trek was what first made me love astrophysics. Star Trek was among the reasons why I befriended one of my oldest friends - we used to watch it secretly when my Mum wasn't home.
But somehow... Some of these are too silly to bear.
Meet: the True Q.
Do you remember her? Short overview of the plot: the Enterprise has to put up with an intern from Starfleet Academy, Amanda Rogers. She starts to display amazing powers, for example she manages to counteract the an accidental meltdown of the warpcore. Also, Q appears and tells the crew that Amanda is a Q. Shock, horror, sensation. They also find out that the storm who has killed Amanda's parents (Tragic Past Alert) was probably caused by Qs. This is really lame, isn't it? And... just look at her:
That terrible pink garment. Those horrible doe-eyes. That "Oh my god, I just want to be like everyone else!!! My soopa powazTM will probably keep my from enrolling in the Academy!! Oh, what to do!" - attitude. And the name! Amanda! What a dead give-away. And she has BLONDE hair, even though her parents had brown and black eyes. Terrible. And she's been studying what, bio-regeneration? And then tries to join up? Why?? And why on earth does she want to get rid of her supa powazTM? There just does not seem any reason at all. Onmipoetent and Omniscient and all that. And pink. Must be so terrible.
And there are all the catch phrases that are the markings a really, really lame plot:
"I just want to be like everyone else."
"Ooooh, it must be so terrible to be able to do everything I want. Oh, noes!"
"I am not ready!"
"With great powers comes great responsibility."
Seriously, next time someone says that in any context in any series, I am going to shoot them. The worst thing is that she has a heartfelt talk with Beverly Crusher. I guess even she has not deserved such a fate.
Luckily, Q is a Sue spotter. He just realises that she is too much of a Sue in a human environment to bear, so he wants to remove her and take her far, far away, to the land of the rarely used plot devices. so she can become a true Sue.
The horror.
Uhm, yeah. Just avoiding having to clean the kitchen. Once again. I've tidied it this morning, but in the meantime, my grandma has done some cooking, and thus it needs cleaning again. Went in with white socks, came out with black socks. Ungood. My brother has wiped the cloor yesterday evening. I don't know what they DO in that kitchen. But it's hard for my grandma, because she can't really see well, so she does not realise if something spills. Sigh.
