Mondian posted:Reed is the perfect embodiment of ENT. He's boring and unlikable and the one, single B-plot ever devoted to him involved interviewing all his family, friends, and colleagues and all any of them had to say was that he was boring and unlikable. Dude had like 4 b-plots. including section 31, punching the maco captain, getting butthurt over the macos in general, and romulan mine in the leg.

Didn't Reed also go full First Blood over some space LSD or am I making that up?

my fave part of the Garak thing is that Nog never, like, forgets or really forgives him for it. Nog and Garak were the two best characters on that show.

The Cardassians in general were portrayed really well as the villains as they had motivations beyond just being the bad guy doing bad guy things. Lots of nuanced shows about regret, guilt, moral relativism and also just Cardies doing Cardie things lol! When they get over their head when they team up with the Dominion is great because they are still convinced that Cardasia is #1 in the Galaxy. Great writing and characterization.

Make Cardassia Great Again! Those stupid BAJORANS we were trying to help them they couldn't have a proper trial before we showed up and brought in good Cardassian JUSTICE and DISCIPLINE and how did they repay us by BLOWING UP MINES where they worked in exchange for food and beds

DoctorWhat posted:my fave part of the Garak thing is that Nog never, like, forgets or really forgives him for it. I liked him too. He was ferengi but wanted to be federation so just ended up a dodgy modern human trying to be super good but actually getting scared at poo poo instead of just waiting until like the display that shows twitter suddenly blew up for no reason in an explosion while shields were up, killing 12, injuring more. I'm glad the federation found a good use for tnt though. Him and garak both felt like writer inserts to tell how stupid or crazy the plot was somtimes. IIRC he came to be an actual character rather than a hardy boys jake's friend around the time warf would go to klingon ships which would just blow the face off some guy checking his snapchat too. Blark glark da flargh! Or no? Just sidestep it, put a sneezeguard on them or something, jesus christ, you're a military people, stop dying because the screen you look at to tell how many people are dead just exploded in your face. Again.

Captain I am concerned about the fact that we are routing boiling hot plasma behind these touch screens. I'm sure the ship designers knew what they were doing ensign. Get back to work. [Meanwhile] Hello there fellow humans, it is I, Hugh Man, not a founder from the dominion. Did you like my new ship designs? Very much Hugh, all starfleet ships will be built this way going forward.

I guess I never watched ENT even though I thought I did. Archer is a great exploring captain--and he's always so positive he's gonna get through any mess. T'Pol is also great, and it's not her skintight suit. She just has that look of "what are these idiotic humans doing now and I guess I better go along with it since I'm observing them and I'm Vulcan so I'm not having fun but I'm really having fun following Archer's hijinxs." She's also great when she's in command of the ship. And heck, that episode where she told a story about the first Vulcan contact was amazing. Kip or Pip or Tip or whatever is okay, but that "British" guy is kind of a downer. The doctor is also pretty chill. He reminds me of Doc Baker from Little House on the Prairie.

It was so hilariously sad that the moment Cardassia's fascist military government lost power to a democratic civilian (less fascist) government...the Klingon empire invaded in an all-out sneak attack, using this peaceful transition of power as evidence for...shapeshifter infiltration of Cardassia. ...which, of course, eventually lead to the Cardassians jumping in bed with the Dominion and giving them a foothold to launch a war that saw billions dead and half the quadrant trashed by its end. This is why the Alpha quadrant can't have nice things. Bloody Klingons.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the Klingons also attacked because they like war, but yes, I was more looking at the optics of the whole situation rather than the behind the scenes details.

Enjoy it while it lasts! I think season 3 is when it starts being...not good...then it picks up again. Then it's over. Also your mileage may vary with Caprica but I liked it and it's only like 1 short season.

The best quitting point is about two or three episodes into season 3, cant remember the specific one off the top of my head. Once the big season opener is done, it goes downhill fast.

Eh, there are still some good stuff in the middle and at the end of season 3 but a lot of the episodes are weird standalone affairs that don't work that well. Season 4 being bad or not depends on how much you like character stories, political-ish drama in the fleet, and mythological mumbo-jumbo over Cylon stuff.

Is that the Season 2 finale before 2.5, where Adama and Cain are going head to head over Adama's men getting railroaded into some pretty steep NJP? Because yeah, I was watching on DVDs and had caught up to the last one available on disc (that one) then immediately went online to buy the next episode.
