turn left hillary!! noo posted:I hate doing this while Jeb! is doing his thing, but here goes. "Once More" is one of those really good episodes that doesn't get mentioned a lot. Worf may not get a lot to do but all the other starring Klingons - Martok, Kor, the old guy - are fantastic and the ending is perfect. Even if you don't know who Kor is before that episode does everything it needs to do to make sure you get him at the end.

Watching Star Trek Discovery is kind of miserable and it kind of made me really sad. I finally watched the Orville. I'm not sad anymore. Thank God this came out when it did. Star Trek is finally back. It's just called something different. And sometimes they make jokes about dogs licking their balls. I can appreciate that.

Hot take: I didn't like Relics. I get that they were finally comfortable with acknowledging TOS, beyond that little passing-the-torch moment in the pilot, but I think the episode could have been better without Scotty's character showing up: it's like they smooshed two separate episodes' 'Plot A' together, just so that this episode could have a clear A-plot and B-plot. Also Geordi is a dick! I think they were going for 'engineers are fussy manbabies who are over-protective of their  systems' but, like the Leah Brahms episodes, it's played completely straight. Welcome to the future, look at all the cool stuff we have NO DON'T TOUCH THAT YOU'LL BREAK IT, wait why are you depressed and drunk on the Holodeck Scotty

I feel like you could extrapolate the size of that lake from the size of the Enterprise there and it wouldn't even come to that. The ship's supposed to be what, a kilometre long at most? That lake is barely 50km wide, unless those roads are deceptively not-parallel Basically they hosed the perspective big time, just like that pocket-size planet in Voyager's intro

So, Sub Rosa is next on my TNG rewatch. I've never seen it before, I have no idea what it's about, but I've seen it mentioned frequently in lists of worst episodes and the subject of many a disparaging remark. What is the best way for someone to enjoy watching this episode for the first time? Should I be drunk?

Ugh. I joined a facebook group called The Babel Conference. It's a listener's group for the Trek.fm series of podcasts. I joined it because I was really enjoying Meta Treks, a philosophy podcast framed in Star Trek. The Babel Conference is a loving echo chamber of "no criticism allowed," especially with regards to Discovery. It's a particularly bad example of "if you don't like it you're not a real fan."

I finished watching all of Enterprise a few weeks ago, and as of this morning I'm through the first four seasons of Voyager. VOY is a much better series in every respect, and I'm not sure why it gets so much hate. It's not TNG, but good luck topping that. The show runners are clearly improving the show season by season, and while it's still flawed, I'm really enjoying it. And was it my imagination, or was the removal of Kes from the show really, really sudden? Like, it was a Poochy-level my-planet-needs-me event.

They needed to dump a cast member to bring in Seven. It was going to be Kim via the 8472 attack in Scorpion Part II, but between the filming of Scorpion I and II he made the People 50 Hottest Bachelors Of Hollywood list so they fired Kes instead.

I'm surprised they didn't think of replacing Chakotay, wasn't his actor completely done with the show after the first season anyway? Kill him off, promote Paris or Torres to Commander, bring in Seven, boom, two birds with one stone.
