Actually the reason is that since those progenitors jizzed in everyone's gene pool, you end up with a lot of people who look alike, like the Bajoran who looks like Richon or the other two people who look like Pulaski.

Dear Doctor is one of the best episodes of Ent season 1 for the sole reason that it creates a moral dilemma and has characters actually wrangle with it. The fact that they end up wrangling out the Final Solution went right over the writers’ heads, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that it went right over many fans’ heads too. In order to understand why it was praised, you need to watch the rest of Ent season 1 first. It’s obviously asinine garbage week in week out. This episode doesn’t seem like asinine garbage until you think critically about it, which puts it above every other season 1 episode except “Shuttlepod One” (also a bad episode imo but much less so) and the Andorian stuff (in season 1 this mostly doesn’t go anywhere, I’m just including it because it later turned into something good).

FlamingLiberal posted:They sure did. Whoever wrote that piece of poo poo needs to never work on Trek again it had a different ending originally but UPN made them change it. you see, originally phlox was going to go against archer's orders, and do the genocide regardless of archer's decision. UPN wanted it to end with them both agreeing it was right, apparently in the hopes it would make audiences less concerned that the wrong choice was made corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Feb 14, 2019 |

Automatic Slim posted:And letting his other child, friends, and family go one believing he's dead. That’s horrible. He'd probably tell Jake and his closest friends but not want it to get back to Starfleet. Besides, everyone knows he's still alive and tooling around the celestial temple. I've always assumed he came back after a month or two (probably to retire, even though he was being groomed to become an admiral he only really cared about Jake and Bajor). He saw what happened with O'Brian coming back with a bunch of new experiences but everyone else had trouble dealing because they last saw him that morning.

The Prophets are non-linear. All of time is happening simultaneously to them. Sisko could exit the celestial temple anywhen. What I’m trying to say is look for him next season on Discovery.

Far Beyond the Stars was the Benny author guy one right? Yeah it was framed badly and would have been a perfectly fine episode if it was a holodeck history lesson or something. The whole dream thing cheapens the message. Note: I like the episode very much but I do have to mind wipe myself of the setup to enjoy it.

I just have to say, completely divorced from established canon and timelines and whatever, your super-secret shadow government black ops organization is much cooler in concept and execution when it's just one or two people dropping in without any fanfare to gently caress with your protagonists. It definitely loses some mystique and starts to border on parody when there's an entire ship full of those agents constantly dropping in to save the day with their ultra-high-tech gadgets. It's like the difference between the actual NSA and Roger Moore era cartoon James Bond.

ashpanash posted:A lot can happen in 100 years. Section 31's competence has always struck me as at least a little questionable, so I wonder if they're about to gently caress something up so badly it forces them into deep hiding for the next century. Or Georgiou burns them as a gently caress you on her way out.

Is there a good intro to Worf and O'Brien for those who haven't seen TNG? My wife got introduced to star trek by Disco season 1, and to give her context about the mixed reactions it got, we're now watching Voyager. She's about 15 minutes from seeing the Borg queen for the first time so it's time for me to find an intro to the characters you're supposed to know from TNG. To answer the obvious question, I want her to see the best after having seen the worst, and pound for pound, it's pretty close but I think that's DS9.

Definitely The Wounded for O’Brien. Maybe Sins of the Father for Worf?

Worf was a way better DS9 character than TNG character. But if you have to show her anything, I'd say Sins if the Father, The Enemy, or that one where the blue thing breaks his spine.

Yeah, the only reason I suggest Sins of the Father is that it also introduces a ton of Klingon culture, government, the importance of family honor, and Kurn. It’s not a great episode per se, but it’s a decent primer for a bunch of stuff that’ll come up later on DS9.
