My understanding was they had heard TNG referred to as what saved the franchise but didn’t agree with that sentiment. They were trying to argue (with no citation, just pure anger) that the TOS cast saved themselves.

At some point the conversation shifted towards complaints about modern conventions (I should have said I overheard this at STLV). They complained about the modern pricing and seating arrangements we have today. That lead them to mention the year the convention hall named the vendor’s room after Roddenberry. This seemed to upset the person even more and say that it was a disgrace that anyone let the TNG cast attend the convention that following year. Possibly I missed some context that explained why they felt so adamantly negative about TNG. All I could say was that the opinion being given seemed to ignore the fact that Roddenberry created that series. If it was anything else, I would understand. This I was having trouble understanding.

EDIT: The cherry on top was this person was wearing a Kirk heartthrob shirt.

EDIT 2: I understand there are people who only care about TOS and have no interest in the rest of the franchise. I’ve met those people. I respect that. But this person seems very upset with the fact that the franchise exist beyond TOS.

I don’t know.

I encountered a person who said after Roddenberry died, the entire TNG cast should have been banned from attending STLV.

EDIT: I should clarify that the topic of discussion I overheard was unclear to me. One complaint is that TNG saved the franchise, when according to the aggrieved, it was always TOS.

I’ve met people who are offended by the notion that anything exist after STVI.

Well they have to be convicted first.

If one of you’ll says some silly ass name, this whole class is gonna feel my wrath.

Oops. I was typing too fast.

I understood the reference. I’ve seen Point Blank. Just didn’t know what the initials were.

A.I.G?

It could be “The Naked Now”.

EDIT: I looked at screenshots. It is nether “The Naked Now” or “Sub Rosa”.

There is a secret level in Doom II described in the biography Masters of Doom by David Kushner. It was made as a prank, where the boss had the face of one of the Johns and moved at 200% faster speed than the player. I’m not sure if this made it into the retail or shareware versions they shipped.

I don’t even follow sports, and I was outraged by Russia being awarded host in 2018. All the experts said England should have won that bid.

Well at least here was a better and more consistent depiction than what we had in “The Last Outpost” and “The Battle”.

And yes, I would trifle with those Ferengi.

Apparently Armin credits Max with shaping the Ferengi we see in DS9, with this episode.

Everyone seemed to be having so much fun. Seeing Deanna cheer to Picard getting embarrassed when Vash explained they weren’t offering jamaharon.

You mean “when in Romulus”.

You’re into a lot of pillow talk after sex?

But that’s only when you ascend that you meet them.

When did Hemmer have time to return to Andoria?

EDIT: Sorry, I couldn’t recall if USS Discovery had Andorians on the crew.

Eh hem…
