jackwabbitSome of you may not know that they've been playing two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation in movie theaters every few months to coincide with the release of the various seasons on Blu-Ray. I've been going to these one-night-only events with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taj_mahal07. We've seen season one and season two's offerings, and we've been waiting for season three's. The problem is, that's when Next Gen got really good. What episodes to pick? There really is only one choice, though, for one of the episodes. You've got to do "Best of Both Worlds, Part One." But Part Two is season four. Do you just leave it at the cliffhanger and pick some other random season three episode to play? Or do you do two events? One for two other episodes and one bridging the two seasons and giving us the entire Best of Both Worlds arc? I was hoping they'd do the latter, and it appears they have, despite not giving us two more episodes ("Yesterday's Enterprise" and "Deja Q," perhaps? Maybe they'll do so later?). I got this in my email today, and I'm already planning to go. Sweet. After all, no one pwns the Borg quite like Riker. Sigh. Though I'd have been fine to leave it at the last line of Part One just for the anticipation of Part Two in a few months. Not many can beat "Mister Worf, fire."

Date: Feb. 20th, 2013 05:35 pm (UTC)My history is a bit different than yours. TNG made me. It's the only Trek I watched as it aired, though I came to it a few seasons in and then caught up in reruns. The rest I watched later in either syndication (VOY) or from Netflix on DVD (DS9) or streaming (ENT). Now, TOS? My history is similar to yours. I have seen some of it, but not all of it, to be honest, and a recent attempt to do so via Netflix stalled out in season two. Because, um, yeah. You know.
I thought TNG was on on Sunday? Am I wrong? I might be. Also, um, I was in late high school then. I didn't realize I was that much older than you. *cough* Get off my lawn! ;)
I am so sorry if I inadvertently spoiled you! I mean, it sounds like I didn't, but I would hate it if I did. Granted, you only know when it's coming, now how, etc, but...sorry!
Anyway.
Enjoy, and boldy go!
