Bolians canonically produce the biggest and nastiest toilet-defiling turds in the Federation

IIRC, there is a Voyager episode where the ship is out of power or the bathrooms aren't functioning, and Neelix tells Janeway that this is starting to become an issue---especially with the Bolians.

I like Bolians, even if they are the punchline of a lot of Star Trek jokes because they take big, meaty shits from eating huge helpings of partially-decayed meat.

Amusingly it was a really good classic Trek theme episode where the doctor discovered a planet run for peak “efficiency” where the elites refused to provide healthcare to the workers while indulging in luxurious life extending treatments themselves

It had some of the best art / background setting I’ve seen in awhile too, an elysium style fancy space ship hovering over a teeming industrial hellscape

The aliens might be among the laziest ever but it was a very relevant and Trek-morality-lesson episode, nice to see after attempting to watch Picard

Giving up on makeup and saying "ah gently caress it, they're still aliens" is a rich Trek tradition. See also Troi, Guinan, Malcolm McDowell in Generations, the immortal muck farmers in Insurrection, and a bunch more that I'm probably forgetting. Like they don't even give any of them a wacky hairstyle.

A real hellraiser


I heard that there was a dropped scene from the after they come back to DS9, written but not filmed because it didn't fit into the episode they wanted to do.

When they retake DS9 they show some of the crew re-entering their old quarters and assessing the damages. People who had Cardassians in their quarters have it good because they were a military force required to keep their rooms clean. Vorta rooms are messy because they don't give a gently caress. Jem Hadar rooms have all tons of poo poo torn apart from them doing combat practice.

Then Nog enters his room and it's totally destroyed, a complete disaster area, the worst of all. Cause Jake was living in it.

With the exception of maybe the episode where Nog gets upset that the Klingons don't take him seriously. It's got a good scene between him and Martok at the end but the rest is Nog being rather petulant. At least it got some good repartee between Nog and Martok in later episodes.

I'm going to bat for that one since the whole point is Nog being a by-the-book starfleet dick who takes his job too seriously.

There's a stretch of 3-4 episodes almost back to back mid-season 3 where it's all perfectly human aliens and for some reason they're also all about revolution in some way, and the revolutionaries are always decked out in budget Mad Max gear with 80s hair.

On the one hand it was pretty clever to make the Pakled all fat and jolly looking and it would have been neat if they'd similarly made some budget alien civilizations just by casting actors who are really tall or short or bald have some other common external characteristic. On the other that kind of approach needs a very sensitive touch or you get Ligonians.

Hard to believe I clipped this for a FYAD request DocEvil made 12 years ago, and that people still use it, and that 130000 people have watched it.

The software I used to clip it was awful free/shareware and I had to listen to it at least a hundred times to get the audio synced up properly. Do I still watch it everytime someone posts it? Of course I do.

I occasionally think about how ironic it is that despite having arguably the least developed/good character on the show (Marina Sirtis would get to fight him for it) in the form of Geordi, LeVar Burton absolutely has had the most prestigious and beloved career outside of Trek, both prior to and since it was on the air (amongst the main cast, obviously).

That's because LeVar Burton is too good for this world. He did Roots, Reading Rainbow, and Star Trek. He's amazing, and I love him.

Hardy was, but that was a long time ago under a lovely director with a lackluster script. I wouldn't mind seeing him take another shot at it now (though he might not, since his Nemesis experience was so bad he became seriously depressed for a while and almost quit acting entirely).
