It's supposed to be some great moral struggle for him to not kill anyone but for the entire episode I was like cmon Murderman give in to your base impulses and gently caress some poo poo up

It was the episode The Child and no, everyone wasn't like" congratulations!", lol. Riker immediately started shouting "who's the father?" and everyone else insisted she abort it, until she stood get ground and insisted on having it.

And it wasn't a space creep, it was a sparkle of light that flew up her pussy while she slept. It was also gay because for some bizarre reason, they come out as if she could be ashamed that she was pregnant. E.g. They come everyone at the ready room table, with her by herself at the far end looking at the floor while the rest of the senior officers discussed what to do with her.

Yeah, it was basically the same story as Ms. Marvel from the comics that ruined the character for over a decade.

Also, they told Marina Sirtis that she needed a Betazoid accent, so she developed that odd manner of speaking she used for the character. Then they had other Betazoid people on with no accent, so she dropped it eventually.

They did the same with Trip on Enterprise, telling him that he needed a southern accent, then decided he was from Florida. I know Florida is plenty South, but no one speaks that way down there.

Yeah I get the feeling Troi was supposed to be a much bigger deal than she ended up being. Like a psychic bridge officer? Sure, sounds cool. But they never did anything interesting with that idea.

Guessing she was originally intended to have full-on telepathy and mind-reading abilities, but the problem with a character like that is that all the mystery of any plot line is removed within 5 minutes.

The secret of TNG is that all of the problems were caused by Geordi being a creep.

Like that planet that was going to explode due to volcanic activity was damaged by him using the longrange sensors to watch them take showers, the focused beams caused their magnetosphere to destabilize.

The time all the Enterprise leaked into the universe? He was using tachyons to create a subspace tunnel for his dick.

Those aliens that were abducting people with the metal rape tables? They got the schematics from him.

That time they traveled a billion light years? He asked the computer to find him someone that didn't think he was a creep.

That giant space pierogi that was loving the Enterprise? He had been flirting with it with the sensors because it was the only thing that wouldn't turn him down.

Thinking about it destroying the caretaker array was probably the best career move Janeway could have made. If she went back to the badlands she would have just filed a report and continued plodding along doing poo poo for admirals. Instead she gets to be the ultimate authority on a ship she calls her own and do whatever she wants for the next 70 years while heading back towards Earth. Even if she gets home early she'll immediately get an admiralship from it.

There is a case to be made that that was her angle the whole time. She got a visitation from her future self at the time of getting her ship, remember, letting her know what would happen so she could plan for it. She's a scientist, sent on a maquis snipe hunt on a tiny but state of the art ship just choc full of beta-release gear and bio-neural gel packs. Does anyone really think biology would be faster than FTL processors, or are they really just a way for the computer to psychically interface and modify the crew? Clearly the entire thing was an socio-pharmaco-psychological experiment to devise further insight and tactics into integrating federation-incompatibles, to let them retake the maquis and then further, conquer and integrate the Bajorans, Klingons and Cardassians. And barring seska, look at how well the mind control tactics worked, in the space of a month they completely forgot they weren't just starfleet officers, all about the prime directive and totally obeying the captain.

A BLOO BLOO ANYONE I DISAGREE WITH IS A "BAD PERSON" WHO DESERVES TO DIE PLEEEASE DONT FALL ALL OVER YOURSELF WHITEWASHING THEM A BLOO BLOO
Ok so today's episode of Voyager was about QUANTUM SLIPSTREAM, the deus ex enginea that tempts the crew with a 3-month journey home. Turns out it was all a setup by someone who refreshingly calls Janeway out on her one-woman warpath through the Delta Quadrant and he points out that her interfering with the quad for her own selfish desire to return home has hosed over countless worlds and species so gently caress you Janeway, i'm going to borgs ya

during all this Seven Of Nines is having some kind of dilemma about whether or not she wants to return to Earth or return to the Collective or whatever, it doesn't matter because at this point in the show we all know that she's sticking around so eventually she decides to come with them to Earth

so this dude sets up the Voyagers with a transmission that just so happens to hit them just as they just so happen to be within 10 light years of what just so happens to be a spaceship that can get them home. this guy has apparently been planning this for two months and somehow knows the confidential Starfleet comm codes because uh he has a big brain??? he claims his species can speak and understand hella all languages but this could just be a bluff to explain why he can unlock the signal so easily but whatever. i mean if he could fake the signal so well that they can't tell it's fake then why does he even bother to wait two months before catching up with them, especially as it's only a couple of days out from Janeway being able to figure out the decode for the real signal so gently caress if I know.

anyway turns out this new ship is actually the dude's ship cloaked with SUPER HOLOGRAMS to make it look Federation (well, just the interior, the exterior actually is Federation or just so happens to look exactly like Fed tech for no reason? idk) and he spacejacks Janes and Nines and flies them into Borg space but then Nines can assimilate pass energy barriers if you fiddle with her borgpiece with a space wire (why did she disable that in the first place, that seems a super useful thing to have even if you're not Borg as hell) they teleport out because it took Voyager all of like a day to recreate this hyperadvanced new QUANTUM SLIPSTREAM thing and caught up with them, then they burn it out to death getting as far away as possible and it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to ever fix or replace because [REASONS]

BUT THEN SO9 is all 'humans beep boop nothing is impossible boop beep' and the end

I sometimes wonder if Janeway was related to/had the same mental disorder as that woman in DS9 who intentionally strands some colonists on a planet with some forcefield that disables technology so she could rule over them with an iron fist .

"Captain's log: Picked up surviving children of some kind of massacre. All the parents are dead. Turns out they were egged on by a malevolent space ghost and can make adults hallucinate. Suited them up for 'extra vehicular field trip' and immediately warped out of there. "


"Captain's log: Nailed a science officer from an alternate mirror universe and her counterpart in this one. Alike and different in so many ways…

Also, I suggest Starfleet invest in R&D in motivational devices called 'agonizers'."

I think the best Mama Troi episode is on DS9 where she's so eager to jump Odo's goo she psychically infects everyone with a disease that makes them want to jump whoever they have a crush on.

Then Jadzia figures something's up but instead of saying "hey, something's up" she pranks Sisko by making him think Dax has jungle fever.

Captain Janeway passes up so many easy chances to return home that it makes my head spin.

"This machine can send us back home instantly, but I'm afraid the Kazon will use it to gently caress with the Caretaker's short-lived zoo people, so let's blow it up. No objections whatsoever?"

"Sorry Q, even though you promised to zap us home, I cannot let you protect the life of this suicidal member of your species."
