I also vividly remember this episode from my youth and would frequently talk about it with my friends and wondered why it got forgotten. I think I read that this plot might have been readdressed and resolved in a years later novel.
I really like that episode in original Star Trek where Kirk gets in a fight over a woman and the question is raised of what it means to be human. Wasn't that a great one?
A bad storyline cut short was the "warp engines cause space-climate-change." They set a warp speed limit to reduce damage to...space...then never refer to it again.
I'll snag this later. The first one was a lot of fun. Originally shared by Android Central Publisher Paradox Interactive has released Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for Android. Fans of table-top RPGs can once again get the full experience on a mobile device.

Okay, Hotline Miami , killing a dude by dumping a pot full of boiling water on his face? Awesome. I still suck at this game though. I'm not twitchy enough.
this was super gnarly for the time. Exploding heads and all that shit.
ReplyDeleteMajor hints at big things in the future... then nada.
I wonder why this got the axe.
Benjamin Baugh I think they wound up going with the Borg instead of the Conspiracy aliens.
ReplyDeleteThe gore blew my fourteen(?) year old mind.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. Plus, Starfleet was supposed to be the safe space, far from enemy lines.
ReplyDeleteCoolest story? Eh, Maybe for TNG. It is a shame they didn't follow up.
ReplyDeleteWhat episode?

ReplyDeleteN. Phillip Cole Conspiracy I believe.

ReplyDeleteThat was a good one.
ReplyDeleteI want a list of interesting story lines cut short

ReplyDeleteCasey G. Actually, it was referred to in a later episode where they were given "special permission" to exceed the limits due to some threat.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they never went back to it is why it is so great!
ReplyDeleteSuch a weird episode. Gross in a way TNG rarely was.
