Drowning Not Waving....Chapter Eleven!

[tabaqui]

New chapter up at douse_house! All the warnings still apply... Enjoy! If you can.
*evol cackle*

Really not funny anymore.




Watched an original Star Trek episode this afternoon - 'Shore Leave'. They go to an 'uninhabited' planet and suddenly crazy things start to happen! The White Rabbit and Alice appear! Sulu finds an antique gun! Kirk runs, McCoy flirts, female crew members scream and cling!

And the yomen - her tunic is torn! On the right! No, on the left! No, just the collar! Somehow, the act of flipping Captain Kirk over the bad guy's shoulders makes *his* shirt rend itself! Manly nipple of James Tiberius!

The continuity sucked, there was too much eyeshadow on the guys - and not in the good way - and the women were all just...losers. But omfg. I still loved it.
Also? Slashy. Wheeeee! 'Trouble With Tribbles' soon.


*I adored 'shore leave' as a kid 'cause - omg, you could imagine *horses*!! You could imagine an awesome horse and it would trot up to you and you could ride it!! The perfect world!!*

As I recall from my Trekkie days they went out on location and for some reason they found the script wouldn't work. There they were on location with expensive props like the tiger so they improvised a lot and I guess they filmed more than they used, continuity went bye-bye and there wasn't much left of Ted Sturgeon's original script.

PS Currently there's a script out in LA LA land of Kirk's Academy days that ignores much of canon including Finnegan :(

PPS One day I plan to make a double feature of "The Trouble with Tribbles" and DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations"

Weird. I'd totally forgotten the writers they had on there - Ted Sturgeon! Sheesh.

Trials and Tribble-ations is *so fun*. I love that ep, too.
