A mirror TNG movie would've been cool; instead of Nemesis they could've done something where they retread the DS9 mirror universe and have a plucky full-haired Picard lead the Terran resistance in their hopeless fight against the Alliance. They could have a mirror Galaxy Class Enterprise that basically looks like a kitbash of the Defiant with an Excelsior or whatever the best starship was before the fall of the Empire. Desperate and outgunned, Picard must help free Mirror Q from Q-jail in order to put an end to the war once and for all.

We're only seeing the front. The back looks like Dr Rockso's jumpsuit. But the style had nothing to do with that particular universe.

Yeah, Dark Mirror. One of the three TNG books I read, from the early 90s. It was pretty good, or at least 10 year old me thought so. I especially liked the really evil, mind-invading Mirror Troi, who made a lot of sense as an evil mirror duplicate. (EDIT as much as an evil mirror duplicate can, I suppose) Also, in the mirror universe, Picard killed his former captain, Jack Crusher, so that he could take Beverly as his captain's woman. Wesley keeps trying to kill him to get revenge, with predictable results.

He makes cricket posts, we fall back. He makes more cricket posts, we fall back. No more. The line must be drawn here, this far, no further! *gets down on knees* Marc Messier, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good posters or bad. Why we made creepy innuendo about Geordi, or why we were probated for supporting child-rapist mods. All that matters is that two stood against many posts about cricket. That's what's important! Potato chips please you, Messier... so grant me one request. Crosscheck Vagabundo! And if you do not listen, then to Winnipeg with you!

As I'm working my way through the Bij that is Voyager, I'm now at Before and After. Remember, in the Year of Hell future, Harry Kim accomplished something. He married Paris and Kes' daughter. That is a thing that is canon. :edit: and it ends with a "No time like the present" joke. Seriously Biller, do better. Brute Squad fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Nov 4, 2013 |

As for Riker's uniform not being hosed up, he is a command officer and presumably clothes are cheap to replicate, so it is... logical for his togs to be intact. Probably smelled like a gym bag though

Starfleet jumpers are probably made of some kind of highly resilient space fabric. The pinnacle of textile sciences, the Starfleet uniform is stain resistant, odor resistant, wrinkle resistant, doesn't get all catted-up by the weird pale dude's pet cat, and don't catch on fire unlike my gym shirt, jesus christ, I'm never wearing that thing to the bar and having a smoke again

Worf confirms in the episode of DS9 that I just watched last night (Let He Who Is Without Sin...) that the uniforms are designed to be comfortable in all circumstances and weather, which is funny given how uncomfortable the uniforms were for the TNG cast.

I especially liked the really evil, mind-invading Mirror Troi, who made a lot of sense as an evil mirror duplicate. (EDIT as much as an evil mirror duplicate can, I suppose) It's also about the only mirror universe that tried to come up with a rationale for why the Terran Empire was so violent and conquest-hungry. To summarize briefly, it's a combination of something (never precisely revealed) going much differently in the history of human thought sometime around the first millenium AD and a deep cultural fear of extinction that is expressed as the desire to expand and colonize the universe by any means necessary. It also had a pretty cool idea for why the empire was ultimately screwed that, sadly, rested on some dodgy astrophysics. (Basically, the arm of the galaxy the all the major Trek species dwelt in had separated from the rest of the galaxy, leaving a island of stars surrounded by starless voids that would take years to cross at maximum warp, and the empire's expansion was so ravenous that they were going to run out of space to conquer in short order, and they wouldn't be able to crack transwarp before the empire tore itself apart. Of course, we now know the dark spaces between spiral arms are full of dimmer stars rather than being starless voids. But it's a cool idea, even so.)

I watched "A Fist Full of Datas" (best episode name) and now I would kill for a series of Datas roaming the wild west. I'd even settle for Data carrying on his twangy attitude for the rest of the series. Worf's smile at the end was also priceless. 8/10 would definitely watch again. Also, what's up with Ro showing up every other episode at most? And when the Q shows up in True Q to take Amanda Rodgers away, what happened to his new GF he took with him the last time he appeared? I need some answers here. President Kucinich fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Nov 4, 2013 |

Michelle Forbes was smart enough to be choosy in her roles and used TNG to get out of soaps and onto scripted TV drama. If she went on to do DS9 I don't think she would've had much of a career past 2000.

But she was one of my favourite characters from TNG, so I would've loved to see her character pop up again, particularly in DS9 (although Nana Visitor did a great job in her place). Seeing Forbes pop up in BSG was an unexpected joy.

A buddy of mine asked me to show her some TNG since she's getting into Trek. Her only exposure to the franchise is Wrath of Khan thru The Final Frontier and Into Darkness, with WoK being her favorite. I'm planning on starting her off with three episodes, but I only have the first 3 seasons right now. So far my choices are Q Who, and The Measure of A Man. I'm struggling on a third to show. I kind of want a lighter episode like Manhunt because she like the comedic nature of Voyage Home, but there's more classic episodes as well. Any suggestions?

No, she went from TNG to a bit part in Escape from LA. Then, later, she went to Homicide. Then she went to 24 where he got pushed down some stairs and I think died.

I wish she'd showed up in DS9, like, at all. Something I've long wished they could have done with DS9, and I'm certain they thought of it but knew the budget wasn't there...I'd have loved to see the interior of the station slowly turning into Federation styling. Smooth gray wall paneling replacing Cardassian design, LCARs panels going in and so on.
