Re: OVEG: Warlord
Just how many "spirit possession" stories has Star Trek done?

Re: OVEG: Warlord
Why do the Talaxians all have mullets? The series started long after that craze ended, or is this the producers trying to emphasis that their "space trash"?

Why do Romulans all have the same horrible bowl haircut? Star Trek has fashion rationing: each species only gets one. Except for humans, who are clearly wealthy enough to merit several.Cpl Kendall wrote:Why do the Talaxians all have mullets?

Re: OVEG: Warlord
Actually when you think about it, this episode is the same kind of awkward gender switching farce as Turnabout Intruder. And if there's something syndicated TV loves, its awkward gender switching farces.Darth Wong wrote:Just how many "spirit possession" stories has Star Trek done?

Warlord
Cathexis
The Observer Effect
the one with Keiko and the PahWraiths
the one with Jake and Kira taken over
the one where the aliens take over Data, O'Brien, and Troi
The Crossing
That one with "P for Picard"
Tears Of The Prophets
the entire story of Sisko's mom
And if you want to be technical, Star Trek III

Re: OVEG: Warlord
If Star Trek III counts then the ENT season 4 episodes set on Vulcan (in which Archer is carrying Surak's katra) would also have to count.

Re: OVEG: Warlord
This is a slight thread hijack, but really, it would be interesting to do a truly comprehensive listing of Star Trek spirit possession incidents.
Anyway, back to "Warlord", I've seen worse Voyager episodes. The one about accepting things on faith is downright offensive.

Re: OVEG: Warlord
What about the one where Kirk and Uhura kissed? Weren't they posessed there?

Re: OVEG: Warlord
A split might be in order here. I'm not familiar enough with DS9, VOY, and ENT to recognize appropriate episodes by title, but I think I've got TOS and TNG covered.Darth Wong wrote:This is a slight thread hijack, but really, it would be interesting to do a truly comprehensive listing of Star Trek spirit possession incidents.
TOS
The Lights of Zetar
Turnabout Intruder
TNG
Lonely Among Us
The Schizoid Man (affecting Data, arguably more plausible)
Power Play
Sub Rosa (arguably)
Masks (again affecting Data only)

Re: OVEG: Warlord
There was that one where Kirk and a yeoman were kissing because they were volunatrily possessed by those minds in the globes episode...the one where they were planning to build android bodies?

Re: OVEG: Warlord
That was TOS Return to Tomorrow.
There was also TOS Wolf In The Fold where Jack The Ripper took over Scotty and others.
There was the DS9 episode where one of the Prophets took over Kira to do battle with a Pah-wraith that had taken over Jake's body, but I don't remember the name.

Re: OVEG: Warlord
Redjac never took over Scotty but framed him for the murders of Kara, Lt. Tracey, and Sybo. He used his hypnotic screen to knock Scotty out and placed the murder weapon in his hand while he was still dazed. He possessed Heingest and briefly Prefect Jaro, and for a time the central computer of the Enterprise —until driven out of it by a directive to calculate to the last digit of pi.Uraniun235 wrote:There was also TOS Wolf In The Fold where Jack The Ripper took over Scotty and others.

Re: OVEG: Warlord
Anybody else liked Jennifer Lien's performance in this episode? It was probably the prior three and a half years were her doing nothing but acting like a waifish girl on valium that let her unleash her real talent in this episode?
The telepathic fight between her and the Warlord is probably her best scene in the entirety of the character.
