Watched the Voyager episode where the crew gets stuck in a planets atmosphere and witnesses the civilization advance over thousands of years within a few days. The premise and storyline make this my favorite episode of the series, and one of my favorite Star Trek episodes.

Whats the general opinion on Star trek Voyager and Enterprise? I'm almost finished with DS9 and was thinking of watching one of those after I finish up the original series.

You can extrapolate my feelings about blind nationalism from my rant and apply it double to a state flag. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Sep 9, 2019 |

Both kind of boring with lots of crappy episodes, but both kind of improve in their second half without ever getting especially good

Voyager has some good episodes, but for every one there are like 4-5 bland or bad episodes. It's characters are also not as good as the other series. Enterprise is a lot of missed opportunities, and it's problems make a lot more sense when you find out that Brannon Braga (the showrunner) was super burned out on Trek and basically sleepwalking through running that show. It picks up a bit in Season 3 and 4 but by then the show's fate was sealed. I think a major problem is that they keep going back to the Temporal Cold War poo poo and it's not very interesting and the ultimate payoff of that whole running plotline for three seasons is dumb.

I'd say the proportion of truly godawful episodes is about the same in every series. But while you watched DS9 and the default was good, in VOY/ENT the default is forgettable.

Neither great, nor terrible I guess. My wife just tonight asked me when we're going to watch Enterprise, and I was like, do we really have to? She hasn't seen it though, so maybe... some time... but I'd rather exhaust our other options first.

Enterprise is super bad, but Voyager at least has good characters. Like others have said though the show has a lot of boring episodes.

The ratio of good to bad episodes in these series is like the ratio of good to bad posts in this thread lately.

Lemniscate Blue posted: the Texas Flag Pledge In Texas, school kids also pledge allegiance to the State of Texas. At least I had to, in some grades. "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."

That one state under god thing is a post-9/11 addition. I still had to do the pledge when I was a kid, but that wasn’t part of it. Texas is the Cardassia of the US, only instead of paranoid, nationalistic, and intelligent we’re just paranoid, nationalistic, and dumb.

My senior year homeroom teacher was also the overdue-for-retirement school librarian who spent her 6 hour taxpayer-funded workdays doing nothing but sitting at her desk listening to Rush Limbaugh and G. Gordon Liddy and whatever other bullshit was on AM talk radio. She gave me a detention once for not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance but I'm 95% sure was just doing it because she knew it annoyed me, the class's only politically-active student. I unfortunately had to spend a lot of time around her because that year I had like 3 periods of study hall every day. This was 15 years ago so she might be dead by now.

Seems ironic/appropriate at this point to consider the fact that the one use of the N-word in all of Star Trek was, in fact, during an episode that portrayed US racism in a historical setting, and it was even essentially about a Star Trek writer getting fired.

It's an edit, though. Lucien shows up on his own sans summoning, what Spock's doing with the pentagram is just levitating his 3-D chess set to prove to McCoy that they're in a region of space where magic is logical. (Yes, of course I have that episode memorized, I'm posting in the Trek thread!)

The premise and storyline make this my favorite episode of the series, and one of my favorite Star Trek episodes. I love episodes that play with the Prime Directive without someone violating it on purpose. "We accidentally became part of this planet's mythology, how do we handle that" is a really, really good premise and it's done justice. I also really like that the planet is starting to turn into a torus, since that's actually what would happen if a celestial body was spinning that fast.
