Enterprise retroactively ruined the finale to TNG. And TNG was retroactively ruined by the TNG movies.

Imagine a butt pooping on a reel of Star Trek footage...forever.

probably. i dont think the cast liked deach other on ds9 and much as they did on the other treks.

No one wanted to be friends with Odo because he'd turn every conversation into a screed about how the Holocaust didn't happen

I don't remember the context for this, but that just makes it more hilarious.


I still wish they expanded on the Klingon Lawyer, the only plausible world view that might make Klingons less ridiculous.

The next Star Trek TV series should be a law office comedy with Klingon Lawyer and Worf's lawyer grandpa from The Undiscovered Country, who I think was also named Worf. Or just Worf, I don't give a gently caress

Just saw some episode where Captain Picard gets arrested and tortured by some weirdo alien dude who feeds him bad eggs and brings his daughter to work just to point out how lame humans are to her. Can someone explain for me how Starfleet weren't wiped out long ago if they're the kind of outfit loving stupid enough to entrust a dangerous secret infiltration mission in enemy space to some ancient French dude known for entirely for peace, diplomacy and monitoring spacial anomalies and poo poo, backed up only by Doctor Milf and a snarling brick shithouse Klingon guy? Don't they have Space Ninja Commandos to sneak that poo poo or anything?

Starfleet only gets by because for every crew of peace-loving gadabouts there's 10 more full of jingoistic hotheads with boners for covert action. The galaxy probably poo poo all over the Federation after Section 31 was disbanded.

Wait, when did this happen?

Didn't O'Brien and Bashir basically shut down Section 31 when they (indirectly) killed Sloan? Or did that episode end with "well he was just one guy, who knows how many others there are?"? I actually can't remember, I thought it ended with S31 becoming an even more rogue organization and the leadership cutting ties with them. If I'm making all that up then I want to amend my previous post to say that S31 is the only thing keeping the galaxy from making GBS threads all over the Federation.

Linguist checking in. Darmok is my least favorite episode, for a number of reasons. Also the episode where data's daughter learns to do contractions is dumb. Really dumb.

I'd actually be pretty interested to see you elaborate on these

So when the Voyager crew got home, why didn't the Federation instantly jump 50-200 years ahead in tech as they now have the Doctor's mobile emitter?

Do you really think the same organization that immediately promoted Janeway to admiral would really be capable of effectively exploiting the wealth of advanced technology they brought back?

Reminder that Geordi used a holoscan of a prominent female Starfleet engineer as his fantasy pseudo-girlfriend, and when the real engineer found out and took offense he told her that it was his way of reaching out to her.

We're supposed to take his side.

My favorite part is when she tries to leave the rape dungeon and he actually physically blocks her. You know, so he can prove to her how creepy he isn't.

pretty sure it's less about alienating and more that if they try to come up with future-music people would just as quickly poo poo on it for being lame and hokey

Probably for the best considering their attempts at depicting future civilian fashion made it look like everyone was involved in a tragic explosion at a carpet & wallpaper sample warehouse

the planets became politically inconvenient AFTER they already made their homes there, btw

They live in a world where picking up and moving their entire settlement and all of their belongings can be done at no cost or risk, and they can be resettled with their whole community intact. Wanting to stay on a particular planet just makes them a bunch of stubborn twits.

Yeah but literally nobody has ever beamed from the station to bajor

The station is too far away. In the first episode it moved from Bajor's orbit so it's closer to the wormhole. O'Brien is still a lazy deadbeat because even without transporters I think they mention it's only a three hour shuttle ride.

Rewatching DS9 and I totally forgot how great it was - I've been such a fool... SUCH A FOOL.

PROPHETS FORGIVE ME.

On another note - did they change writers mid-series? There is a definite (progressively better) shift in tone/story structure mid series, starting with the Dominion.

I guess they stopped trying to be like Babylon 5?

I think it was more like Rick Berman stopped giving a poo poo about what was going on with DS9 so the writers had freer reign to do whatever they wanted.

Don't force yourself to watch Voyager. Rewatch DS9 if you have to watch Trek, or just watch something good. The only excuse someone has for watching Voyager these days is because they were tricked into it.

Counterpoint: Klingons are dumb as poo poo and would definitely forego a tactical advantage if it meant they got to swing around their space katanas more often.

Like when they were attacking DS9 and beamed into the operations center with melee weapons and were literally instantly picked off by dudes with phasers

Basically they thought Shakespeare wrote such badass poo poo that he couldn't have been a human, although I think it's not meant literally, but more mockingly.

It's also a reference to the Nazis' attempts to claim Shakespeare was actually German. I think the Soviets also tried to say he was a socialist before it was even a thing.

STO is a really lovely game that you should not play, especially for the story. You can count the number of MMOs with good stories on one hand and still have five fingers leftover.

loving Mot the Barber keeps that ship together man, he appears a few times. There's an episode where the entire crew leaves the ship for space reasons, but Mot comes back to get his saddle (every serious riding has their own saddle) and faces off against Tuvok and a band of pirates with a crossbow.

There's also like 176 episodes where Mot is the commander of the Enterprise, it's weird

The worst part is, you could be pretty successful on your own terms, you know get a job in middle management or something, but in a universe where you're given everything you need to achieve, you have nothing to blame but the confines of your genetic fart of a brain for your relative failure. You can't blame it on your background or circumstances.

You're also forbidden from enhancing your genetic fart of a brain by people whose natural intelligence and charisma allowed them to rise to positions of power. The Federation's elites conspire to maintain their stranglehold on power by condemning countless billions to live in genetic poverty.
