The General posted:I stop watching B5 sometime in season 5. Seen the first four seasons about 5 five times, only seen S5 maybe once? Perhaps twice? Crusade I've seen once, and never again. Season five starts boring as gently caress with those hippie telepaths, but as soon as that is over it gets good again. Early episodes are only tolerable because Bester is in them.

I'd like to think that Crusade came about thanks to that narrow segment of time when there simply weren't enough infomercials to fill out a Saturday afternoon on an expanded-tier cable channel and plastering CGI onto video tape was at a point where it was cheaper than filling up a studio audience to clap at a new lint brush.

Crusade was a weird situation because TNT ordered the series and then proceeded to act like it was a piece of poo poo left on the rug.

I'm not sure if it was the same episode, but my favorite part of Geordi can't get laid stuff was when he was being awkward in 10 forward, and Worf was there, and Worf is like "You have to let her see the fire in your eyes!" And Geordi gives him this brief "Did you really say that you loving rear end in a top hat?" look, before shaking it off. The burn is never even really acknowledged.

The captain proton episodes in voyager are probably the worst in all trek. Holy gently caress. The idea of a photonic race was actually kind of interesting, but then they had to encompass it in the stupidest holodeck setting ever. Like, this is literally the last thing I want to watch.

I don't like the Captain Proton episodes but I don't think they were significantly worse than Voyager filler episodes in general. A Captain Proton episode just played straight with no alien threat or holodeck malfunctions could have been good imo, or at the very least an interesting experiment. There was one where the crew discovered a secret Maquis mutiny simulation program and the first half was actually really good even though it was "just" crew members goofing off on the holodeck, but then a hologram ghost of Seska took over the ship. Who cares.

The only good thing a Captain Proton episode ever did was to finally show us the disappointingly munchkin-like Delaney sisters. But I've never watched any of the Captain Proton poo poo itself and find myself itching to skip forward whenever Ensign Eugene gets wistful for the 20th century.

The burn is never even really acknowledged. my all-time favorite is during Sarek (when his old-man Vulcan dementia is causing the crew to go nuts) when Geordi and Wesley start yelling at each other b/c Wesley's horny and wants to get off work to go on a date with some hot young ensign Geordi basically says 'what's your rush she's not gonna bang you' and Wesley comes back with "at least I don't have to find my dates on the holodeck!" and all Geordi can come back with is "...what did you say?" he has no comeback. he got totally burned. wesley crusher got more play on that ship than geordi la forge

In Geordi's defense he was sexually exhausted what with looking through everyone's clothing 24/7 via his visor. He had to go to the holodoeck just to escape the burden of constantly seeing overly familiar genitals.

From what I gather all of human history from 1987 to the invention of the holodeck was filled with those puffy-armor drug troopers and their screamer guns from the Farpoint episode. Its what spurred the invention of the holodeck in the first place.

Obviously there's been no culture of any significance for 400 years because Section 31 has been keeping everyone boring and subservient with drugs and mind control rays.
