I definitely gravitate toward stuff like TNG and TOS if I just want mindless tv while I relax. DS9 is great, but you get more out of it if you're watching as part of a series or season watch.

Excellent Adventure was one of the best, going in blind movie experiences I have ever had. Bogus Journey was, well it was bogus that's for sure.

Small parts of ENT might be the best, but as a series? Heck no.

My irrational dreams of season five, however, get close.

Like if Kirk ran into the Hunger Games or something. That would have an interesting premise, and it would also call back to an actual moral issue, that of interventionism - just what the gently caress are they supposed to do about this bullshit situation?

My brother-in-law likes Enterprise the best. He grew up more than less a casual fan of TNG/DS9/VOY.

I really hope, with only three or four lines, Discovery makes it impossible to fanwank Axanar into canon.

Yes it is, since TOS. Garth of Izar fought in it.

I'm sure it'd be possible to casually dismiss whatever details the fan film people came up with for it, but the event itself (whatever it was) has been canon for a long time.

"Fuckin' Garth of Izar. Dude's been a staff puke the last 15 years and they're saying he's some brilliant tactician at some backwater skirmish. Look at the loving records, man. He's the loving logistics officer of Starbase 8 and they're writing him up for a decoration because he managed to find Admiral Whatshisnuts a supply of Andorian moonshine.

That's how it is in this loving fleet. You have your nose firmly up the brass' rear end and they shower you with medals. We fuckin' fought off the loving Orion vanguard and not a fuckin' peep."

Nah though I think you could get something interesting out of it, you could even, in a serial environment, revisit the planet later, possibly even with some modest nuance that even idiots can comprehend.

Garth of Izard should just be Garth of Wayne's World.


Finished up season 3 of TNG. Locutus of Borg shouldn't have been over in a two parter. it's such a neat concept to just be done with it immediately. Worf's parents are really great, too :3:

On the one hand yeah, though I can't imagine the writers were confident enough to shake the status quo up that much and leave Ryker in charge for too long. Trying to track down Locutus/foil the cube would have meant making the Borg less of a threat.

On the other hand, you try watching BoBW part 1 then sitting around all summer wondering what the gently caress was going to happen arggghhhhhh.

Ocampa can only reproduce once in their life. If they miss the opportunity it will never happen again.

They give birth to a single child.

If that were the result of the Caretaker's fuckery then it would be a tragic story, but instead it just makes no sense--how does that species even exist still if each generation has only half as many people as the next one? Or do Ocampan men just bang every woman (i.e. One year or older) in sight? Even then I'm not sure it would work.
