Take me out to the Holosuite didn't disappoint. Brooks' style is over the top but he was amazing in that episode. And yes Worf was hilarious: "Death to the opposition".

Odo throwing Sisko out of the game was also great. Also the ending felt strangely familiar until it hit me that the ending was a nod The Bad News Bears from the 70s.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

The best Xindi episode is in season 4 imo. The one where he realises hes hosed up in the head and got a tonne of PTSD from invading space iraq.

Also this, turns out in season 4 they knew they were cancelled and just decided to go all in on telling fun stories (except the finale which was all Rick Berman).

Think Tank;

Rather than leave any question as to whether the Think Tank are benevolent or not, the episode burns the mystery in the first two minutes as they force a client to pay a high price for their service or get their planet hosed badly. The Vidiians, a race who'd been suffering from the debilitating Phage for a millennia and were halfway-decent interesting antagonists unseen for several seasons? Cured by the Think Tank, because they're just that good you know.

By the way did you see how advanced their ship is with theoretical armor even the Borg don't have? How complex and advanced this alien's language is?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH BETTER THEIR TECHNOLOGY IS?

DOES YOUR PITIFUL MIND GET HOW SMART THE THINK TANK IS YET!

DO! YOU!?


Jason Alexander actually turns out a pretty good performance as the Think Tank's :smuggo: leader to be fair.

Voyager was so painfully 90s they even had an episode where they run into the space-consultants

im always down for a mirror universe episode so i looked at that enterprise one and 15 minutes in, i quit. It's really bad. Even for star trek. It's just reminding me of the time it came out, a terrible time to be alive, and a bad reminder that we're clearly in the mirror universe

Rick Berman got what he wanted with Voyager, while DS9 turned out a quality show without him being allowed anywhere near it.

Juggernaut;

Everyone's favourite recurring villains, the garbage-dumping Maelons, make a return with a colossal garabage ship that's going to atomize everything in three light years if Voyager can't repair the radiation leaks in its storage tanks.

Also B'elanna is a colossal raging bitch because of her Klingon Temper and they need to show she is ANGRY ALL THE TIME to be sympathetic to the seriously hosed-up Maelon Ghoul wanting revenge on everyone for what happened to him. Having it end with her just smashing his loving head in with a pipe instead of successfully talking him down was kinda good though.

Voyager runs into recurring villains? Even though they're booking it for home at all times? So the villains are just following them or something?

The one time she got drunk she had shameful android sex. Or maybe the one time she got drunk she had amazing android sex. I am not sure. Data seemed to hold that encounter close to his android heart.

I think Data would do these things during sex which would kill the mood:
1. Be completely silent.
2. Offer to try out his new sexual moaning algorithms.
3. Be confused about something, and over analyze it.
