If you are really just so concerned that this week’s episode won’t make sense because you didn’t see that episode three years ago, why can’t STAR TREK do like ALLY MCBEAL, or THE PRACTICE, or ER, all the big successful shows do. Put a little recap at the top of the show: ‘Previously, on STAR TREK: VOYAGER...’—even if it’s an episode from two years ago. You just quickly get the audience up to speed, because the audience is not stupid. The audience has watched television for a long time.

The time Picard, Guinan and Ro turned into kids and took the ship back from the ferengi while kid Keiko was not only still useless but also making incredibly discomforting sexual innuendos

The Diane Duane novels from the early 80s that fleshed out Romulan society are cool & good and heavily referenced in the JJ Abrams reboots but yeah everything else is unsalvageable borderline fanfic.

The ones they paid Shatner to put his name on are post-mortem Tom Clancy bad.

Doesn't excuse the fact McCoy is basically space racist to spock though.

I've been making my way through DS9 the last few weeks and it's really jarring how spacist O'Brien is to everyone.

The true cost of space racism is that he was so blinded by hatred of the Pah-wraith he missed his offramp to the life with Kira they both obviously wanted.

Quark indirectly by examining the WayneCorp accounting books and placing a few select tips to the IRS

So, turns out CBS doesn't actually have to give a poo poo whether anybody watches STD or not because Netflix's deal for the international rights put the entire project in the black before they even started shooting.

Barclay only got in trouble because he was causing biological events in the public Fully Automated Gay Space Communism holodeck. In Quark's more transactional world, both client and jizz-mopper know exactly what they're getting into and probably signed half a dozen bloodborne pathogen waivers.

Future Odo was right to change the Defiant's flight plan so the present-crew doesnt get biffed back in time, and framing the 8000 or so people as "dying" is stupid because you could just as easily argue that by going back in time they're killing just as many potential people and *faaaaart* that episode was bad

Not as bad as the time they rehashed exactly the same time paradox, except gently caress you it's also a Keiko episode

I'm a few eps into DS9 S7, does The Sisko ever rub it in Bashir's face that oh hey buddy guess what I was genetically engineered too... BY GODS.

Is that common ground why he's got such a talent for building healthy working relationships with JemHadar?

diane duance novels apparently have a Romulan romulannness

Roddenberry hated them so much he tried to get them yanked out of publication, therefore they are good

i get it on netflix uk (probably because i do not think we can get cbs all access), you would think theyd use the data from that and see that nobody wants their lovely streaming service and join hulu or netflix

unless getting 100% of the tiny amount of cbsaa subscriber money turns out to be more than whatever cut netflix uk gives them, but i doubt it

Netflix made an incredibly stupid deal which singlehandedly keeps the show profitable and may be locked in for five years. Whatever they're making on CBS All Access is just gravy.
