The Thanksgiving Experiment: Hour 2+3

Viewing Thoughts: Star Trek Time. Yeah, Will is getting his geek on!
Star Trek Voyager: We start off with a delightful episode of Voyager in which the token Vulcan is stranded on a planet with a bunch of kids. Yeah, this is going to be good the sarcastic Will said. Now, my favorite Trek is Voyager but like it for the women. The women were always strong while the men on the show were kind of subservient to them. Instead, I get an episode with a male Vulcan, kids, and Religious Fanatic Aliens (RFAs). Yeah, the kids are getting sacrificed to a monster thing by the RFAs. Tuvok, the vulcan gets all fatherly with them. Captain Janeway decides she's not going to take any shit and goes to rescue the plot and the vulcan. Anyway, the RFAs turn into kids when they're old rather than getting all wrinkly so the Vulcan was interfering for the no real reason because the monster is... OLD AGE!!! Yeah, it's a boring episode. Hopefully DS9 can get more of a reaction out of me.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine: I could say something insightful but instead, one thing comes to mind: Oh my god! What is up with the clothing in Star Trek? The Romulians are wearing huge shoulder pads! They could make a woman from the eighties blush! Anyway, the episode has to do with one of the characters just randomly have visions of the future and he sees the Space Station go boom. There's also plenty of the political stuff that makes DS9 hard to get into. Yeah, doing Star Trek was so not a good idea.

Noted Commercials: I saw a commercial for Girls Gone Wild. During Star Trek. Yeah, they know their target audience. Desperate Straight Nerds. Girls Gone Wild isn't even real porn. Real porn involves people who are completely aware of what they're doing. Girls Gone Wild is exploitation. Why isn't there a Guys Gone Wild for that matter? Oh well, it happens. It's all good though. The guy who foundedthe company is in jail because apparently he doesn't like paying his taxes. Yeah, things must be might wild for him where he is now.

Early Christmas Ideas: A cloaking device. Hello unlimited access to the homes of the celebrities!

Non-Viewing Thoughts: This entry kind of sucked. I'll make it up to you all. I'm watching a movie on the sci-fi channel next!
