K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

frontier001:

The single greatest cliffhanger of all time.

Try to imagine it.  It’s the spring of 1990, and “Star Trek: The Next Generation” has been on the air for three seasons - and is about to break the Original Series’ record by having a fourth season.

Denise Crosby (Lt. Tasha Yar) left the show before the first season was over.  Gates McFadden was summarily fired and replaced for season two, only to return in season three at the insistence of Patrick Stewart.  So change had always been a possibility.

There was no internet.  Which meant no spoilers like we now know them.  No set reports.  No speculation amongst the fans outside of conventions or groups of friends.  Which meant no way to cope with the anxiety, no bulletin boards to post “AHHH!  WTF?” on while you waited.

We may know now how it all turned out, but back then?  I’ve got friends who where trekkies in the day, and the summer of 1990 was full of anxiety!

OMG THIS SCENE.

This is one of my favorite TNG moments ever. Data suddenly and inexplicably becomes Mr. Snark and Riker just rolls with it.

Yeah bearded Picard, HUSH!

(still Wil, you’re a terrible person…)

The tags speak truth, people!

Also: oh, Worf.

And this is the moment I fell hard for Ensign Ro. Fuck you and your assimilationist attitudes, Picard!

yeah, she kissed him a lot with that beard. UGH, she’s such a damn waste of screen time.

And Riker’s like… but I already serviced you…. oh wait. 

stop that.

(hehehe)

YOU SECRETLY DO NOT WISH FOR THIS.

Nah, I’m not a fan of pairing off Picard and Riker. Mostly because Riker doesn’t deserve all the tail he gets.

Oh please, like Picard didn’t have tail all over the ship. 

yeah but he wasn’t all gross about it.

true. NO hanging out in the community bathroom waiting for casual hookups. But that’s why he could just be like.. NUMBER ONE, MY READY ROOM. and BAM. I think Riker just gave him bjs anyways. 

Once again, your head canon beats anything actually on TV. :D
