the_dala at 11:57am on 11/05/2009TOS viewing is continuing apace. I'm watching "Miri" right now, with the disease that kills adults. First of all, it makes me happy that the blond lady with the nutbar wicker hairdo is along on the ground mission (I know she's Yeoman-something, but that work always makes me think of Thomas Jefferson). Honestly, despite the cheesecake costumes, this show is doing way better with gender than I had expected. The more I watch, the more I understand its impact on original viewers.
Aside from somewhat thinky thoughts, I did start shrieking "NO KIRK NO!" when he was HITTING ON A TEENAGE GIRL (who looks so much like Katharine Ross that it's distracting). And then it was hilarious how they were all, "She likes you, Jim...she's becoming a woman" - like it is just taken for granted that our captain is a hotass and can't control it.
Plus this ep reminds me of The Twilight Zone, and that is pleasing.
But seriously, Kirk, STOP HITTING ON THE TEENAGE GIRL.
