Irrelevant But Awesome

Joel:  It can be tricky having a character on a show who has “good writer” as one of the main characteristics. Sure you can have other characters go around saying how good of a writer they are and what great things have happened because people have been moved by their writing, but when you actually present their writing, it has to be good. It’s similar to “funny” characters in shows or movies. Just because you cut to a laughing crowd when they tell a joke, if the audience watching the show at home doesn’t find the joke funny, then the character’s going to ring false. Fortunately for Sorkin, he happens to be a good writer himself, so usually when Toby or Sam need to present their writing, it’s usually something good. But there’s an interesting moment where Will and Toby tear apart each other’s writing style.

For those who don't know by now, Netflix has finally put Star Trek on instant view. And not just the original series. In fact, every episode of every series is avalible except for DS9. (or the animated series if you wanted to count that) Still, thats 21 seasons of Star Trek for you to watch. So what are you waiting for? Get on that. Relive the wonder of watching the original series. Catch up on those episodes of TNG that they never seem to show in reruns (trust me, Encounter at Farpoint would not apply here) I, forever a champion of the underdog, recommend that you take advantage of having access to every episode, and take some time rewatching Enterprise. You may just be surprised to learn how good of a show it actually is. As a bonus, for those of you who have already watched every moment of the Star Trek universe, Netflix has also added every episode of the Spiderman sereis from the 90s and the classic X-men animated sereis.
