muccamukk, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
artemis_rain, and a couple other friends. It was a lot of fun. I don't think I'd actually played a drinking game before, and found that taking all the sips as mandated somewhat interrupted the flow of the plot, but then again I'd already seen three of the four episodes already.
We watched
Star Trek TNG "Disaster", the one where Picard is stuck in a turbolift with children, Deanna Troi and Ro Laren argue over how to save the ship, and Keiko O'Brien has Worf as a birthing coach.
Star Trek TOS "Mirror, Mirror" because the Star Trek drinking game rules said to make the Terran Empire salute whenever anyone said "Starfleet" onscreen, and also we had a newbie who had only seen the reboot and we thought she ought to be exposed to the touchstones of the genre. <3
Xena: Warrior Princess "Warrior...Princess", in which Xena impersonates a look-alike princess for graet justice.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Band Candy", the one where Joyce and Giles make out madly under the influence of magic chocolate bars that make adults act like teenagers. (Hello,Hedronn Ethan Rayne, that shade of red is looking particularly fetching on you tonight.)
Conclusions:
1) Would do again!
2) The problem with drinking games is that, especially in one's thirties, one loses the inclination to poison oneself long before the inclination to watch more sci-fi.
3) The Star Trek drinking game rules were the most comprehensive.
4) Needs more crossdressing Sam Beckett.
5) Always reblog Deanna Troi and Ro Laren having the classic optimism vs practicality debate and passing Bechdel with flying colours, though I feel like some of the emotional punch gets lost if you don't know their respective histories.
6) Dear little baby Chekov, trying to be evil! I'm sorry, you need thirty years and some telepathy for that, sweetheart.
