Hey I was gonna make that list but you already did.
Yeah, Pearlman did more than just the one line, he’s been a recurring staple of the series, as its narrator, has said a whole lot more than just ‘War never changes.’
I guess this is an almost totally random tangent, but:
Leonard Nimoy voiced… I think every spoken line in Civilization 4.
So yeah, when you’re playing Civ 4, Spock is narrating it to you, all the tooltips, tech discovery blurbs, etc.
When I played Civ 4 , I haven’t watched any TOS. He fucking KILLED it with those lines. Even the funny ones.
I did know him as spock, but had’t seen any eps of TOS. I only saw one, the tribbles one, and a few tos films (Khan, Whales, Generations) this past year
Definitely give all of TOS a watch if you are able.
Theres really no other way to explain it than as a seminal and groundbreaking series, that laid the foundation for… so many things that came after it, were inspired by it.
… like cellphones, for example.
Its … not high octane. Its pretty rough around some modern cultural edges, most notably sex/gender roles. Its… of hilariously low production value compared to so much of more modern media. A lot of it is goofy as fuck, even within its own world.
… but its still incredible. It still did things that nobody else had ever done before, and … some of those things still hold up as radical, even today.
The uh, hah, a lot of the TOS films are … kinda still to this day have lets say ‘mixed’ reception at best.
Its a show about a crew, who goes on missions, on basically a 5 year tour of duty. It really only works properly with the kind of regular, consistent exposure you get from a TV series, to slowly really show you the characters, as if you’re stuck aboard with 'em, getting annoyed or amused by their various quirks and characteristics.
… at its best, its a show about a possible way of life, a way of being, of cooperating with strange people and peoples toward mutually beneficial outcomes.
I gotta stop myself from rambling.
Is it the best show you’re ever gonna have watched? … Eh, maybe, probably not.
But… I feel like you actually can’t understand US cultural history properly if you haven’t seen it.
… we used to actually have a vision of a better future. Hope.
In… times such as we now live… that should never be forgotten.
(The tribbles episode is pretty cute and fun though, eh?)
