Bashir's late-series subplot I guess but besides that

Another good episode was when Riker woke up mysteriously freshly shaven, and when he reported to the bridge Picard had his beard hairs space glued to his head and pretended like nothing was out of the ordinary.

The weird evil psy crystals with that dumb bajoran bitch at the very end of the series was pretty dumb as hell. I didn't like the negaverse episodes either. Also dax7 > dax8.

Voyager was dumb as hell, even the best episodes are only passable and usually flawed (so many reset buttons!). Rewatching it has been painful.

DS9 had a good balance of light-heated space soap and serious political drama. Was consistent in quality all the way through.

TNG was all over the place but it's best episodes are the best Star Trek anything ever made.

Enterprise was getting pretty good by season 4 then they killed it.

TAS was cheap and nasty, but it could have been a lot worse.

TOS has mostly dated real bad, but is also charming and quaint. Parts of it hold up.

Movies 1 is boring 2 is fantastic 3 is okay 4 is funny 5 is hilarious 6 is fine 7 is mediocre 8 is an average action movie 9 is a glorified B-grade episode of TNG 10 is poo poo 11 is jj abrams 12 is worse jj abrams 13 is surprisingly okay

The Mirror Universe episodes were almost consistently the highlight of every season until maybe the last one. Pirate Sisko is glorious.

Season 7 kinda sucked. Replacement Dax was irritating, they overused the holosuite lounge singer guy, and the pagh wraith poo poo was dumb as hell.

Now I'm wondering if Discovery will be like the new TNG or the same old poo poo like DS9 and enterprise.

A lot of star trek fans think that DS9 is the best and smartest of the star trek series. I find it really boring, personally, but I don't think it's dumbed down compared to TNG. You're right about the Abrams movies though, they are very dummbed down.

Or the episode where Dr. Crushers space vibrator malfunctioned, so she called Data to her quarters and asked him to alter his power settings so he would vibrate. But the vibrations were so powerful that the ship started to violently shake and they went to red alert while Crusher had the best squirting orgasms she'd ever had.

Riker is the only legitimately bad rear end character in all of TNG, DS9 or Voyager.

You gonna cast shade on Vic Fontaine, the man responsible for the episode of Star Trek where the entire crew pulls off a baller casino heist? I dunno, I heard all the hate for Vic going in and I actually think he's easily one of the best parts of the final season. He's used a lot, but he kind of has to be--he's kind of the sounding board for the entire crew, and you really get a sense of how high the tension they are feeling from the war really is, particularly the one where Nog (another totally bit part character who really got expanded upon throughout the show) is suffering extreme PTSD and basically has to be helped to overcome it with the help of Vic.

And, to return to my previous statement about the Mirror Universe, Vic Fontaine's MU appearance is just perfect.

Honestly I haven't seen DS9 in a really long time, so I don't remember Garak and Dukat all that well. But Sisko, like Picard, is too constrained by his leadership role to be a true bad rear end. They don't have the freedom that Riker has to indulge in his badassness.

Cactus Ghost: Dec 20, 2003; you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

what about that scene in nemesis where riker decides to bone troi for like no reason and his face changes to the weird romulan-like dude and she freaks out.

what I'm getting at is nemesis was loving dumb.

I think my favorite episode of TNG is the one where Data is kidnapped by that collector dude who tries to keep him as a kind of toy.

The entire plot of Sisko being the chosen emissary of the stupid wormhole aliens in their battle with the evil wormhole aliens was the dumbest plot arc of anything Star Trek except maybe the novel where the crew of Enterprise D meets the X Men.

If they'd scrapped that entire part of DS9 it would have been drat near perfect.

What? The ds9 crew doesn't even get to move around. And half the series takes place during a war. It's the opposite of space cowboys. Please understand the things you are talking about before posting.

Enterprise was pretty good tho except dat opening song.
