Powered Descent posted:You know, this just made me realize that among Star Trek movies (I'm just dealing with the original cast here), even the BAD ones still have some universally-known good bit. TMP had V'Ger (the idea, if not any particular scene), and Star Trek V had the "What does God need with a starship" bit. imagine being a 60's trekkie and dropping acid to watch tmp in 78 that's how i measure that one

bloodychill posted:FC makes sense in that it is very simple. The borg send an explosive ball into the past to stop humans from ever becoming a threat and the enterprise follows and fights the ball and then somehow goes back to their own time. what threat did the federation pose to them in the first place? why were they even attacking earth??

Who is the most misunderstood star trek race? I think it might be Cardassians. I mean, say what you want about the show-trial based justice system and the questionable actions of the state but they're an intensely loyal people dedicated to the advancement and elevation of their people. I can respect that.

The Sheliak Corporate were the most patient, considerate of planetary landlords in the face of Picard's pissy protestations and rules-lawyering. They just wanted their rightful access to their radiation infested death planet and were incredibly polite not to sanitize the human infestation from orbit.

God, this sounds fanficky as hell, but after Nemesis came and went, I put together an idea for an alternate take on the concept: Federation/Starfleet being sort of overwhelmed with post-Dominion War overconfidence that we get hints that they're starting to get abusive, lazy, assumptive, etc. in regards to their own certain status as the greatest power in the cosmos. It's not the old guard, though. It's the young officers and crewmen. The ones who saw very little or no action during the Dominion War. Picard is troubled by this when he sees a group of Ensigns harassing the Cardassians, Bajorans and even Klingons at DS9 and means to put a stop to it. However, he is more troubled when he finds out the possible source of the newfound attitude from cadets and Ensigns: A secret club at Starfleet Academy founded and lead by Miles O'Brien.

What kind of futuristic assay office uses verbal notation like "statue, 30 odd centimeters" and "assorted gems"? Oh wait a Bajoran one where a digital camera is beyond anyone's ability to operate and a peephole wtih doorbell is re-classified as an "MK12 Retinal Scanner" Assay Officer: "Prized valuables, highly rare" Assayee: "Uh that's just a plate of half eaten food" Assay Officer: "Precisely."

Before and After; Kes is traveling backwards through time, she married Tom, and their daughter married Harry Kim, who had a son together. Once more Harry Kim gets laid in a defunct timeline. I was genuinely surprised to see an actual premature reference to The Year of Hell though. Given it's ST:Voyager, I'm guessing at the time it was written they were trawling for plot and went "gently caress it, that sounds good".

Janeway is by far the scariest Captain imo.

There is a subset of women Star Trek fans who really like those sort of romantic episodes. That episode does have sexy Quark though, so it isn't a total loss.

Wesley going through everyone's personal logs and learning how the entire ship, even visitors, hate him and then going crazy and needing to be mind wiped and genetically altered to join Kurn in the House of Insignificant klingons would be a good episode. The b-plot can be about the ship's real live Bolian barber losing customers to an increasingly popular holodeck barber which leads to the banding together of all non-essential non-starfleet personnel aboard into staging an uprising and picard commands o'brien to teleport all the useable water out of their bodies and into the ship's reserves and then transporting the desiccated husks into one of those blue barrels and jettisoning that into space. Picard then, in a kindly moment, lets O'Brien know he's not to fret about what just happened and that this mass ennui is a fairly regular occurrence on Federation ships and protocol demands the rabble be killed under the Epsilon directive but not to worry because they'll pick up a fresh compliment of expendables at the next start port. Or maybe that is the A-plot because an episode that focuses on Wesley is usually insufferable.

Was watching a MST3K episode on youtube and caught Mike's impression of Janeway. It was...unnervingly good. Also I'm pretty sure that episode of Beverly making o-faces to a candle is the worst thing I've ever seen. God, I hope I'm still alive for the inevitable trainwreck reboot of next gen.

Given it's ST:Voyager, I'm guessing at the time it was written they were trawling for plot and went "gently caress it, that sounds good". The Year of Hell was originally going to be a season long arc that depicted what Voyager should have been in the first place. But then someone remembered that Voyager is loving garbage and any real continuity or interesting writing isn't allowed, so they made it a two parter with a literal reset button at the end.
