To think I’d forgotten this line…

I remember watching this episode when it first ran. Michael Dorn’s line as he steps out of the trailer caught me completely off guard, and I remember thinking how he would make an excellent Miles Gloriosus.

Well that brings back memories!
We were way too old for Reading Rainbow when this aired - I was a HS senior at the time - but we totally would get high and watch it all the time anyway - we had 5 channels of TV ok? Watching children’s shows stoned was something to do.
When ST:TNG came out we said “hey it’s that guy from I Claudius, Dune and Lifeforce - and that’s the fucking Reading Rainbow guy!
I remember when this episode came on we were like HOLY SHIT!
Watching it now I’m trying not to cry seeing Tasha.

Mirror Georgio inflicted attrocities because she thrived in an environment that demanded leaders inflict attrocities. Outside of that environment she is a different person.

Julia Howarth, editor for The Communicator (a Star Trek fanzine/newsletter), 1975.
“There is a new baby in the family. His name is Randy. He is grey, with green teeth and a great carriage. He typed the entire COMMUNICATOR. He is my typewriter, which I up and bought with $20 that should have gone to the electric bill!”
“[The Communicator] was assembled by literally cutting and pasting. Articles were cut out and glued on the pages. Artwork was also cut out and glued to the page. The titles and page numbers were hand written or calligraphed. Sources of artwork were fannish artists, prints of Star Trek film clips, TV Guides and newspapers, and photocopies of pictures from professional magazines. We then took the masters to one of the few copy shops available in the 1970s to print the pages. The magazine was hand folded and collated, then stapled with a tiny Swingline Cub stapler. This magazine was a very amateur labor of love.”

Transparent aluminum: Tiny acid droplets turn metal into glass-like material

Leaving out that it’s transparent aluminum oxide from the title feels the equivalent of calling salt “edible sodium”…
