Star Trek: The Next Generation was an interesting Sci Fi shows I never seen the show when I was younger but the show seemed to be kind of cool. Star Trek the episode "The Royale" Riker, Worf, and Data get sent to some planet because there was some strange signal or strange objects on it. The men get ship down to this planet with greenish mist above their head and there is a turning door. Inside the turning doors is a casino/hotel. Riker, Worf and Data talk to the manager and his responses are like as if he was in a soap opera. Some of the people in the casino/hotel also speak in a dramatic tone. Well the men try and try to find various ways to exit the Royale, but works any how the men gamble their way out of the casino and return to the starshipenterprize. I like the show but as for me watching it all the time I wouldn't it's not really my type of sci fi show. I would watch the Royale again because I like that one episode.
Farscape: “The human reaction” this episode John Crichton is in some warped illusion and in this illusion he sees a warm hole and takes a ship and leaves Moya and goes into the warm hole to get back to earth. As soon as he arrives at earth he gets held captive by his old friends Wilson and Cobb. They perfume many tests on john because he doesn’t have human microbes in his brain. Finally Crichton is finally released and he has a little heart to heart with his dad. Later on John’s friends Rygel, D'Argo and Aeryn arrive on earth from being sucked into the same warm hole as John. Rygel, D'Argo and Aeryn are held captive by Wilson and Cobb. Rygel John’s friend felt ill and was sent to the infirmary and was later discovered dead and dissected by John, the others are informed by john and are upset by the news. Later on D'Argo is ship to a different research center Aeryn refuses to held captive any longer. So she and john plan to escape and stay at his father empty apartment. John’s father warns the two to flee and in the streets john starts to see that he knows everyone one around him and all the magazines are seven months old. So he ends up at an old pool hall he use to go to and knocks down the women bathroom door and it’s a yellowish plasma looking wall and he heads back to the center and see his so called “father” sitting in the center . John is told that he is in an illusion that was created from his memory to receive a human reaction to tell whether these aliens can co exist with humans.
These two show connect with the movie the Matrix because the all are Sci Fi based and is illusion vs. reality. Star Trek and the Matrix use a lot of computer technology. They rely on the computers a lot it’s their main source of communication. In Star Trek it is also used to teleport people from one place to another. In all three shows they use the trapped concept like in the Matrix what was a door to a room with the phone to teleport them to the “real” world turned to a brick wall and in Star Trek it was the turning door that didn’t let them leave the Royale and in Farscape it was the yellow plasma wall. They all have the need to escape the place they are at now. Star Trek and the Matrix also have the women in really tight clothing to the point were you can see the full figure shape of the women’s curvy body. The fabric of the clothing is different in Star Trek it looks more spongy looking more like surf suites with reddish and yellowish colors. In Farscape they wear cloth like clothing and John wears jeans and t- shirts. In the Matrix it’s all leather long jackets and everything is all black. Out all three shows I personally like the one Star Trek episode and the Matrix movie. Farscape is a little to dramatic for me. But hey everyone has their own likes and dislikes.
