After watching one episode that was okay if not amazing, and another that was downright poor, I'm going to go back to season one and review A Taste of Armageddon! Okay, no mystery here, since I freely admit to enjoying this episode a lot. But I think I will enjoy seeing it again and doing a review of it.
In other news, the General Order-7 Star Trek role-playing game is in something like a beta phase now, and I have written an episode to use as a trial run for it.

Ulterior Motives!
While watching and reviewing these original episodes of Star Trek, I am making notes for a role-playing game I am in the process of writing. Currently called General Order-7 - The Star Trek Role-Playing Game, it is something I have been working on quietly over this rather dull university summer.
It isn't based on any existing game, though we have played the hell out of Last Unicorn Games' Star Trek games in the past. My issue always came down to entirely needless complexities, a totally pointless list of skills and specialisations, and a ramshackle rules system that let down an otherwise excellent set of books.
GO-7 is meant to be very, very simple, and to replicate concepts of the original Star Trek series as much as possible while still being a fun game for my players. As work progresses I will likely put up material from the game here.
