I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
I love this DS9 episode where a Jem Hadar warship crashes into this planet where, by a lucky coincidence, there's an away mission happening involving O'Brien, Dax, Worf, Sisko, and Ensign Ricky. I wonder what's going to happen, hmmm.

Okay, fine, there were two redshirts on the planet and a whole runabout full of redshirts. Everyone except for this one fellow got killed by like the 8 minute mark and none of the main characters batted an eye.

I like that episode because the Vorta backstabs the Jem Hadar to save himself.

Bonus points for the sequel to this episode that featured Iggy Pop as a Vorta.

Is that the one where O'Brien has to watch the redshirt slowly die for hours and he's the only one who gives a poo poo?

I'm not familiar with this episode, but, halfway in, it definitely seems like it. Sisko seems to at least give a little bit of a poo poo.

The Jem Hadar are bombing the area around the ship to gently caress with everybody and the dying guy is stroking out and thinking his hallucinations plus the exploding sounds are fireworks from his childhood and only O'Brien was trying to comfort him. Worf's been angling to euthanize the guy for quite a while now.

Lol this episode essentially ends with "Many Bothans died to bring us this starship."

Y'know before I started watching Voyager I thought I'd not like Neelix because WHOOAOAAAA WAAACKY COMIC RELIEF but it turns out I don't like him because he's in a relationship with a 2-year-old being that looks like a teenager and it's real creepy doubly so because he looks like a gross space hobbit

I kinda hope Kes dies soon or something because it's real weird

WTF Voyager why did you choose to do this

I'm watching it most of the time while I'm doing something else like preparing food or cleaning or playing Picross 3D or something and occasionally looking at it

I tried to go back and finish up the episodes of Voyager I hadn't seen yet on Netflix, but it turns out it's the one Trek series I've removed from my queue and Netflix doesn't keep track of what you watched once you remove it and gently caress if i'm gonna watch all that poo poo again.

So now I'm watching DS9 again.

There was one thing excellent about VOY, the theme song. Jerry Goldsmith was the best composer for Star Trek Universe after the TOS composer.

heeeyyy folks time to check in on your pals on the starship Voyager

in this episode the gang gets... *yawwn* stuck inside some kinda... space... organism and can't just shoot their way out because of Starfleet Protocol or something so they play around with the *insert 15 straight minutes of :techno: here* until they find a solution that somehow changes nothing and works... for everyone

Did they just remove TNG from netflix Canada? I was reading this thread and decided to watch "Drumhead" and it was gone. Netflix suggested I watch "Farscape" instead. . .

Holy poo poo is that a bad show. I FF>> through about 3 episodes, then skipped ahead 2 seasons and goddamn it's bad in ever possible way.

Cardassians are hams though. That is their natural state. They are a hammy race who love the sound of their own voice.

TNG Worf might as well have been a cardboard cut-out that the alien of the week knocks over with little effort and all the crew ignores.

Edit: This was the only guy Worf ever beat up in TNG.
