[insert joke about horse boys here?]
#monsterdon Oh my goodness, that's Diana Maldaur, Doctor Pulsaski! Hee hee heeβ¦
βLed by the neck, whipped by a hottie in a red crop topβ¦ thank god I was suspended all those yearsβ #monsterdon
I've been watching a lot of telenovelas recently, and that was a RESPECTABLE slap.
Janet Margolin is rocking the Dorothy Hamill cut. I remember when it was all the rage. I had one, too.
IS THIS A BECHDEL PASS #monsterdon #bechdelPass
Eff yeah!! Dr. Polaski's the slaver! #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth π½ π₯ πΏ
Dylan Hunt is so turned on right now...
Well I think we alp know what Roddenberry was into⦠#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
very bad is when plow
Heaven's white men working in the fields, what is this insanity!
It's the doctor from season two of The Next Generation that no one liked
You can see the character of Dylan Hunt was written with Shatner in mind...
"Bound and led in by the neck"
There's the fetish, he's waited two centuries for this...
"Women's lib, or women's lib gone mad?" Nobody else is gonna get that centuries-old comment, dude.
Raban? He's not a doctor, he's a corsair.
I could sure go for a subshuttle right about now, with olives and peppers
So they don't have airplanes in the future?
Seems legit.
#monsterdon
The Savage?!?
#Monsterdon
He's gonna cast Cure Light Wounds.
oh dear
#Monsterdon
The "savage" is worringly native-american coded. Great job gene. #monsterdon
Janet Margolin played Woody Allen's wife/ex in both Take the Money and Run (1969) and Annie Hall (1977).
She's also terrific in Jonathan Demme's Last Embrace (1979) , which is also on Tubi. It's a neo noir with a score by the great MiklΓ³s RΓ³zsa.
[praying in native language]
Would it have been too on the nose to spell it Krieg?
You'd see the ads for these as kids and you'd know. You'd hope, because they'd make a good one on accident every so often, but you knew it was going to suck ass. Hard. #monsterdon
See? Public transit saves lives!
Gene Roddenberry doing some very William Shatner-esque fight scenes
I broke the gun instead of using it for defense, to demonstrate my advanced peaceiosity. #monsterdon
Love how things still work after 200 years, clearly not our timeline...
@Lazarou space:1999's greatest achievement was making professor bergman look passable in a space onesie
70s cars last forever. You heard it here.
"Due to time travel I have accidentally become my own grandfather; this is all because of an accident with the time machine and an unplanned encounter with Michael Ironside."
Sure, just throw away the expensive fancy gun that stopped working...
#monsterdon Reminder to all AMAB: If you're old enough to remember watching this please schedule your fourth colonoscopy tomorrow morning
#monsterdon Oh man, Fury Road with no OSHA rules

Star Trek without the stars, subshuttles instead so you don't get geeks whining about shuttlecraft and transporters
#monsterdon Starfleet headquarters
The music is so schlocky I could weep with joy. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974 wait is that fucking UC Irvine again?
#monsterdon Lets goooo Incel Sci-Fi Pansy Boys! HUZZAH!
...Whoops, it's Grizzly again :x #monsterdon
Good god, this is amazing. #monsterdon
Mothra is weak to Water type attacks.
I guess. I dunno Pokemon outside of Kamen Rider references.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
You think the Centauri hairstyles (or lack therefore on the ladies) was just chance???
Giant lizard puppy can walk on land. Awkwardly.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
Well, I now am... thoroughly disillusioned about Gene Roddenberry being a good writer... I can only conclude that the original Star Trek was like 85% other writers.
And the 15% that was him was the part that makes me actually not like the original Star Trek.
Oh the Mothra summoning spell has a verbal and somatic component.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
Dagahra is a puppy? I didn't even know he had feet. I thought he was more like a manta ray with a Godzilla head.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
Dagahra's theme is pretty good. Maybe not as menacing as they hoped, but I like it.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
Split the team. Daphne and Fred will go check all the closets and bars. Shaggy and Scooby will eat all the food. Velma will lose her glasses.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps seeing Buck Rogers in this. (Well, the other way around, clearly)
I fonβt participate much in the #monsterdon discussion, but I think the sheer rancidity of this plot deserves mention.
βMe man, me need steak for snu snu!β
Did that advance the plot somehow?
My mind to your mind.
@Lazarou @yatsu If he did, he at least didn't make an entire episode about it. Which is deeply appreciated. #Monsterdon
Oh a monster that has parasite starfish that create a red tide?
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
pew! pew!
Watching #monsterdon now thanks to whoever it was that made #monsterdonreplay β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Sorry, #Monsterdon one more
@ohiofi honestly i shoulda voted for NDYNC that's just quality
This was NOT Roddenberry's best work.
I appreciate that the movie has given us an official low bar for 2026. Will any movie be worse than Planet Earth? We shall see. :suspiciousEyes:
Starro has killed the Kenny's of this movie!
Oh wait damn they made it to shore after their raft sprung a leak.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
I guess they were on planet Earth? And thatβs another #Monsterdon!
As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, and to all of you for making it awesome!
STARRO THE CONQUEROR!
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
That PAX HQ looked suspiciously like a Cal State campus. #Monsterdon
Thanks, @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for the cards, and everyone else for participating in various ways. I can't even joke about dinks any more. I've heard the word so often it would be like making fun of the word "the".
#monsterdon what if the framework was: this scientific exploration team got stranded in women's lib land, and wanted to escape
Why did we need a time traveler or a guy with a terminal injury
All that to save one guy?
@GroupNebula563 nor for *something*
thank you @Taweret as usual and have a good night everyone. go watch a real trek. #monsterdon
#monsterdon goodnight, folks! And remember: beat your dink regularly if you want it to behave!
@jeffron and his name was ELON MUSK
Arenβt we all, in our own way, dinks? I mean really think about it. #monsterdon
The best thing I can about this inverse gender values SF is:
Not as bad as "Love Conquers All" by Saberhagen.
Ok, that was just bad! But still, I had fun suffering through with all of you. Thank you for hosting, @Taweret
See you all next week #Monsterdon!
that was just a tiny bit over an hour but felt like an eternity
an eternity of "dinks"
#monsterdon
and the pilot burned burned burned
and gene's the one that did it
burned burned burned
and everyone involved cried
burned burned burned
and lurch was pretty credible
and monsterdonians watched and shouted like a bunch of critics why Why WHY?!
in the war of planet earth
I think we can all see that Star Trek happened despite GR, not because of him.
Wow. What a stinker! Thanks @Taweret and goodnight, monster people!
That...was...so very, very bad. #Monsterdon
A guy walking with two lions? Why couldn't we see a movie about that?
A thousand new adventures. This one was the best one. So... good luck, future Earth. You're going to suck, so, so much. #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
Thanks #Monsterdon
And they lived dinkily ever after. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974 and the reverse goreans decide they can maintain their kinky society without drugging their subs
*hooray*
π¬
Oof. Worst Trek ever.
