Huge Lady Pleaser posted:Great episode but i was always perplexed as to how they had the technology to make a probe that could do that to someone's mind but not save their civilization The episode "Conundrum" has the same problem. The Satarran aliens can wipe the memories of everyone on the Enterprise, alter the computer records, and insert their own crew posing as humans, but they can't defeat the Lysians? I MEAN REALLY

Bashir is great. I just met Section 31 on DS9 and...well...let's just say that for all the genetic engineering poo poo they keep shoehorning in, I'm loving the extra stuff they give Bashir to do. Making him a spy seems great, although I'm kind of confused--there's only one season left, but they keep introducing new elements and stuff even now. Did they think the show would keep going on or will there actually be a decent ending to this whole saga?

In any case, they knew well enough in advance that the show ends with a ten-parter.

My beef with the Jem Hadar was about poo poo that literally happened on the screen during a TV show and 100% didn't require me to thoughtfully stroke cheeto dust out of my neckbeard while having an Archimedes-esque epiphany about human nature and reality that is hidden from the un-fedora'd neurotypicals

Where was the disastrous first contact that led to war with the Klingons? Where was the humans making GBS threads all over the galaxy and disrupting primitive cultures?

I'm halfway through Season 7 of DS9. Wow, Ronald D. Moore tried his best to ruin the show with his lovely romance and new age bullshit, didn't he? It's great that Damar and Kai Win can carry the show, but they shouldn't have to. I've been wanting to watch the show with my Grandfather who was something of a TNG fan, but we'll never have enough time to watch every episode of every season. Is there something like an Abridged Deep Space 9 list of episodes that include the important plot points and character arcs + only the good bottle episodes?

That's bullshit, if anyone can come up with a list of mandatory ds9 it's us and not just because we have nothing better to do. For one thing, you have to make up your own mind about Ferengi episodes. I think they are good except the one where Quark has to become female which is s06 e23 "Profit and Lace" which is irredeemable. S06 e10 is The Magnificent Ferengi which is mandatory no matter what especially for goongranddad so write those two down. You can skip most of Season 1 on grounds of terrible acting and/or TNG-style Monster Of The Week crap, but catch these: The pilot S01 E03 and E04 - good introductory character development S01 E06 - "Captive Pursuit" O'Brien's first chance to shine S01 E11 - "The Nagus" Ferengi episode is a maybe S01 E14 - "Storyteller" Beginning of O'Brien / Bashir bromance S01 E15 - "Progress" Pretty good Kira / Bajoran poo poo S01 E19 - "Duet" super awesome drama episode S01 E20 - Nurse Ratched's first tour de force / Bajoran religious poo poo throwdown You have to watch p much all of Season 7, with the exception of these: s7 e04: Sisko and the crew play baseball against some Vulcans s7 e05: Bashir falls in love with an autistic girl s7 e11: Ezri Dax backstory is godawful Tujague fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Oct 6, 2015 |

Look if you pass every DS9 episode that has some cool funny poo poo in it, you won't skip any okay Klingon Chef blows it up in Melora. Is Klingon Chef good? Yes. Is Melora good? Ffffuuuuuuuccccccckkkkk. vvv I don't think there's a lovely Vic ep. The one where he helps Odo date Kira is awesome too. The one where Worf tears up the place is awesome.

But why rush through DS9? its never coming back in any form. Even the bad eps flesh out the good bits and its fun to make fun of the bad DS9. Why miss out on that? The lows make the highs higher. Watch all of DS9 and don't pretend you have better things to do with your life than watch a Jake-centric or Keiko-centric ep.

If I remember from six posts ago, the reason he wants a condensed list is because he doesn't have a ton of time to watch TV with his grandfather, who is presumably not a big sci-fi nerd Hang on, I'll go use my eyes to read what it says Yep

There's probably stuff in the first couple seasons you can skip, but from the season 2 finale onwards you're better off just watching it all with very few exceptions, yeah.

When the show first came on, I was watching TNG religiously and although I missed the pilot, I gave a few early episodes a try and wrote it off as a lame attempt to cash in on Babylon 5. It was a rerun of this one that made me want to give it another try..
