Intro thought: one of the things TNG is the worst at is writing characters falling in love but based on how they usually do it I calculate the probability at 85%

They're really halfassing the science/ship-threatening part of the episode, I don't even know what's happening other than there was a nebula and now they're going to a planet for some reason.

One of the things that Star Trek usually did pretty well (there are notable exceptions to this, particularly in TOS where the phasers and photon torpedo noises were ripped from the 1953 War of the Worlds) was not resorting to stock sound effects for computers and poo poo. I guess those days are over unless that's a placeholder soundtrack?

Small potatoes but yeah, looks like rear end and sounds like it too.

Although to be fair the Trek sound effects have been hot dogshit for years. Nothing has any punch to it.

It's gonna take them over 11 hours to reach the planet but it's only three light-hours away? This reminds me of something I've wondered about for a while which is what the disadvantages are of higher warp speeds, what warp speed they cruise at by default, etc.

Anything above warp 8 is probably hard on the engines (requires more maintenance, increased chance of a failure), the low warp speeds are probably way more fuel efficient, but yeah warp factors are basically:

1-6 just cruising along. no bigs

7-8 things are serious. there is a problem

9+ OH poo poo

A real hellraiser


If something was only 2 light hours away and they took eleven hours to get there that means they were using impulse and not warp. You generally aren't supposed to use warp in solar systems, a rule that exists so it can be broken for dramatic impact sometime.

They peaked during the final attack on the cube from First Contact, for years after that they kept going for "muted" and yeah, they lost the edge they had. I feel like a lot of it is they cut down on reverb.
