Ship Trek: Deep Thread Nine

[Reply #200 on:]

I forget most of what happened, but I remember Kirk got annoyed when the Doctor reprogrammed the food synthesizers to accompany every meal with a side of a single jelly baby.

[Reply #201 on:]

I should check that out.

Arch: I think we all know the answer to that question.

The only thing that could be cooler than that would be a Star Trek/Hitchhiker's Guide crossover. And even then, only by a nostril hair.

You should hear my voice for those aliens, man.

Damn! My collection stops at 19 and starts again at 28.

I lost my copy of this one... But it was good, I can tell you. Despite the cover, it's not a parody. It's an honest, true-to-character story.

I remember that one!
I bought it at the one and only 'Trek con I ever went to - a one day affair at some hotel near LAX a thousand or so years ago.
The only difference in my copy was the cover: A glossy red thing with a centered b/w illustration.
I remember the jelly baby gag, and that the good Doctor (no, not McCoy, the other good doctor! ;^) and Mr. Spock took on one anothers' mannerisms due to the effects of a mind-meld.

I wonder where my copy is now...

[Reply #205 on:]

Now I really want to read that. Where can it be found?

[Reply #206 on:]

Vworp... Vworp... Vworp...

    

[Reply #207 on:]

Thanks Xan.  *Hug*

[Reply #208 on:]

Never thought I'd see somthing like that. Not something official anyway. Interesting.

[Reply #209 on:]

Where are the "Official" Futurama/Simpsons crossover books? 

[Reply #210 on:]

My local newsagent still has some copies.

[Reply #211 on:]

It must be nice to have a "newsagent" that isn't some huge international chain. Damn you Barnes & Noble!

[Reply #212 on:]

Well, one can always go to some used bookstores.

 

Damn you Barnes & Noble!

Pretty much.

[Reply #213 on:]

A now for something completely different...

Amy/Bender!


If Bender was human, those two would totally have hooked up.

Oh wait...

[Reply #214 on:]

"Say...you're lookin' a lot better than you did yesterday."

[flirty] "Same to you."

[Reply #215 on:]

Wow! Looks like fryandlemon actually found something that I don't remember ever being mentioned in the ship thread before. Impressive.

[Reply #216 on:]

Bender and Amy could potentially work. I'm suprised that it hasn't been mentioed before as far as I know.

[Reply #217 on:]

Haha, I actually mentioned them in the earlier thread... actually I just posted a series of framegrabs featuring the two.

[Reply #218 on:]

Oh yeah.... well lets try to get a discussion on it going.

[Reply #219 on:]

Yeah, quick let's forcibly manufacture some synthetic discussion.

Meh. Stranger things have happened:

[Reply #221 on:]

I hear the glowing ball of energy was pretty well-hung, so that makes sense.

[Reply #222 on:]

I heard he was gay.

Nah; he just liked musical theater.
 

[Reply #224 on:]

Just because he might have been gay doesn't mean he couldn't have fallen in love with Amy. I think an even bigger issue here should be the fact that not only are they different species, but that they also operate under different laws of physics.

[Reply #225 on:]

Edited.

Course it is an early indication that she's more attracted to aliens and non-humans than most.

[Reply #227 on:]

She's more open-minded than Leela that way.

Pfft, laws of physics...

Amy + pure energy being = pure happiness.   

Wooo, I'm a Professor!
Guess I'll go post in the proper thread as well.

Well if it operates outside the normal laws of physics, it might have the power to change shape or something like that. (Insert every imaginable energy being power here)

[Reply #230 on:]

Heh, yeah. The Squire of Gothos.

[Reply #231 on:]

This post was also edited.

[Reply #232 on:]

Don't worry, winna. I'm sure some sexist jerks cut out the scene where Amy asks "Why couldn't he be the other kind of energy being, with the physical manifestation in this plane of reality and energy manifestation in another?"

[Reply #233 on:]

Nice Xanfor. 

[Reply #234 on:]

 

"Why couldn't he be the other kind of energy being, with the physical manifestation in this plane of reality and energy manifestation in another?"

That was amazing, Xanfor.   

[Reply #235 on:]

Oh Xanfor, you're so dreamy!

[Reply #236 on:]

Ok....On that akward note. I have some ship related news about BWABB.

Show spoiler

There isn't any. According to NastyInThePasty, who got an advanced screening copy, they don't show anything regarding how Leela deals with the fact that Lars was Fry. I always thought that was a major part of BBS, her realizing that. I haven't seen it myself so I don't know anything else. The shipper in me says it will be addressed later because they've got the hole Yivo thing to deal with in BWABB. On the other hand the cynic in me says our old friend the reset-button has reared his ugly head.....again.

Oh I really didn't expect them to. It seems pretty clear that that's being put on the back-burner, or it's sort of on hold for this movie, so to speak.

That seems much more likely.

[Reply #238 on:]

I prefer to believe the first theory. For the second time today.

I choose to believe what I was programed to believe!

[Reply #239 on:]

While Futurama has more in the way of continuity than its sister series, The Simpsons, it is still an American comedy cartoon and as such will never have anywhere near the level of inter-episode resonances that a live-action series might have.

The damage NNY sustained from invasion by, Omicronians, Decapodians, etc, was not seen in the process of repair in the following episodes. No tension in the interaction between Fry and Leela was shown in the episode following Parasites Lost. The end of Cryonic Woman was completely ignored when the series returned for a second season. etc etc etc...
There is no continuity at all in the show beyond pivotal 'anchor points', like Fry's cryogenic freezing, the Brainspawn, and such. Beyond those mythology elements, every depiction is a disconnected standalone, just like The Simpsons, so gnashing teeth over the show not displaying any repurcussions from the previous episode(s) is pointless.
