And they all get wiped out by the playing horsie scene. We had a discussion of it over at the viewscreen (http://www.theviewscreen.com/platos-stepchildren/), where it eventually wound up with a unanimous rating of warp core breach.<br /><br />That was only the first interracial kiss for certain categories of first, interracial, and kiss. Desi had kissed Lucy many times, Sammy Davis had kissed Nancy Sinatra just the year before. Basically, it was the first scripted, black-white, passionate kiss. Still groundbreaking, though, and they had to produce an edited version that ended just before the kiss for southern stations.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-60488683462358560912011-11-28T07:16:28.497+00:002011-11-28T07:16:28.497+00:00Well this society well known for mixing things up....Well this society well known for mixing things up. So confusion of history and geography in entertainment is to be expected since they are as ill educated as most of the rest of the citizens. What do think of people who confuse middle east with near east. As to to Plato's Stepchildren it is a metaphor for power trips,delusions and drug addiction. Wish it had been better written story it might have made a better episode to the show.marcos toledohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889207159835361140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-29615837035685926982011-11-28T01:15:55.900+00:002011-11-28T01:15:55.900+00:00Did not last long in the local cinema ... not stra...Did not last long in the local cinema ... not strange at all.

This was, indeed, not one of Star Trek's shinning moments. <br /><br />Speaking of butchered Greek myths and history ....<br /><br />When will you favor us with a review of The Immortals ...?<br /><br />In the name of full disclosure, I should note that I have seen the film (SEE: Titans In A Box!) and my recommendation: Wait for it to appear on cable TV, and then watch something else. <br /><br />That said, I am most interested in your thoughts on the film.Narukamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884079775625846790noreply@blogger.com
