90s TV star so ‘embarrassed' by one episode he wanted it pulled from streaming
Every one of us has done something embarrassing in our careers. Take me for example, I once spent an entire day in the rain asking people how they felt about compulsory porn filters – not an article that's going to make it into my portfolio. That said, it's not just regular folks like you and me who have skeletons in our proverbial working closet. Believe it or not, some of the biggest and brightest celebs are mortified by some of their old work. It's well known that Sabrina Carpenter is embarrassed by Adventures in Babysitting, Sandra Bullock can't bear the fact that she was in Speed 2, and I don't know if Al Pacino is afraid to admit he's in Jack & Jill, but I know he should be That said, as far as I'm aware, not many celebs are so appalled by something they've made that they've said they want it pulled from streaming, although I do know one. Jonathan Frakes made his name in the iconic 90s sci–fi show Star Trek: The Next Generation, where he played Commander William Riker, the first officer on the Federation flagship the Enterprise-D. From 1987 to 1994, Riker and the crew of the Enterprise boldly went where no one had gone before, meeting new worlds and civilisations as they explored the unknown. This wonderful show is regarded by fans of the genre and TV historians as one of the greatest and most important series in history, and there are countless classic episodes, including Measure of a Man, Best of Both Worlds, and Darmo,k all of which regularly rank on lists of best TV episodes ever. Yet there's one episode you'll never see on any of these lists. Season one, episode four, 'Code of Honor' is one such episode. This frankly awful instalment sees the Enterprise visit the planet Ligon II, where one of the crew is abducted by the planet's leader. While the concept seems benign enough, someone somewhere along the way decided to change the script so the people of Ligon II went from a reptilian race to a parody of 1940s tribal Africa. Needless to say, as a result, the episode is incredibly uncomfortable to watch and was accused by viewers of being racist. In fact, the episode is so despised that it regularly ranks among the worst episodes of Star Trek ever made and has been called by some the single worst thing from the franchise. Jonathan Frakes clearly agrees. He famously called it 'embarrassing' and a 'racist piece of sh*t' during a STLV panel in 2011. However, it was during an interview with TrekMovie in 2020 where he was asked whether the episode was appropriate for streaming. 'I thought that they had taken it out of the rotation when they sold the show, ' Frakes replied. After the hosts explained that it was still available, he went on to say 'I was told or I was under the impression that it had rubbed so many people the wrong way that it was pulled.' 'I think they should take it out of the rotation. I think it is a great time to make that kind of – as small as it is – to make that kind of a statement would be fabulous.' More Trending When pressed on the matter, and whether that was a bit bold, Jonathan did agree it might be a tad overkill, but it was clear something needed to change. 'Maybe it should be included with an appropriate statement of reason. A proof of concept. This is not who we are,' he explained. 'This is not what we stand for. It's an embarrassment to the franchise, and Gene [Roddenberry] would want us to do this. Something like that.' Sadly, five years later, it doesn't look like Jonathan has got his wish, as the episode still appears on streaming without any statement or warnings about the content. All seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation are available to stream now on Netflix. Got a story?

Helldivers 2 new Warbond – Masters of Ceremony release date, price and new items
Helldivers is set to deliver a Warbond full of old-timey weapons, and thankfully, it's not just paying customers who will get something out of its arrival. The Helldivers 2 new Warbond is almost here, and it's boasting a few changes to existing Warbonds that you might want to pay attention to if you're a truly dedicated soldier of Super Earth. It's time for more goodies to come in Helldivers 2, and as Arrowhead Game Studios continues to keep players on the straight and narrow when it comes to distributing democracy, it's getting even more stuck into the ceremony of things. There is a certain amount of class and culture that is demanded of Super Earth on the galactic stage, and it looks like Arrowhead Game Studios is more than willing to oblige, even after the Servants of Freedom Warbond issued a faceless Romanic sense of dread, and the slightly botched Helldivers 2 Killzone crossover issued players with some incredible cosmetics. It's time for shooter title to embrace the arrival of the Helldivers 2 new Warbond titled Masters of Ceremony, a new collection of items that reflects the bayonetted combat of old and plunging Super Earth back many hundreds of years to 1776. It's a charming and reflective warbond full of silly, exciting goodies for you to enjoy – but for those of you who aren't so keen on shelling out for the premium content, there are a few changes coming to existing Warbonds that could make your in-game lives better regardless. Here's everything you need to know about the Helldivers 2 new Warbond. Helldivers 2 new Warbond Release date The Helldivers 2 new Warbond, Masters of Ceremony will release on Thursday, May 15 at 2am PDT / 5am EDT / 10am BST. The time has been confirmed by Arrowhead in a Discord announcement, and the time is an estimation based on recent Warbond release times, like the Chemical Agents release time and Truth Enforcers release time. Price As ever, the Helldivers 2 new Warbond will cost 1,000 Super Credits, which can be purchased from the shop in a bundle for £7.99 / $9.99 / AU$14.95. Check in on how much of the currency you have, and if you're lucky, you can make it up in-game with the Warbonds you already have. The Warbond won't go anywhere and you can come to it whenever you're ready, so don't panic too much. New items Revealed in a new blog post on the PlayStation website, there are a heap of new items and cosmetics available in the Helldivers 2 new Warbond. Here's everything you can unlock: RE-1861 Parade Commander Armour RE-2310 Honorary Guard Armour R-2 Amendment Primary Weapon CQC-2 Saber Secondary Weapon CQC-1 One True Flag Strategem Sample Scanner Booster G-142 Pyrotech Throwable Humble Regalia Player Banner Federation's Embrace Player Banner Humble Regalia Cape Federation's Embrace Cape Lockstep Emote Decorated Hero Player Title Extra rewards The fresh items don't end here with the Helldivers 2 new Warbond, either, as Arrowhead has revealed that a new stash of FRV Patterns are coming to Warbonds already owned by many players. Players are urged to check in on the following Warbonds to see some new content that players can claim: Viper Commando Freedom's Flame Chemical Agents Truth Enforcers It's a nice bonus treat for dedicated players, and one that will no doubt add a little extra value to the Warbonds that the game produces from here on out. The Helldivers 2 new Warbond is a charming collection of items for you to bag, and one that will no doubt make you feel a little more connected to the battles of Super Earth's past. Get stuck in.
