Enterprise season 1, episode 15. Archer takes a shuttle pod out to inspect some damage after an alien docking goes wrong. With Trip away on a weapons drill, the captain of the most expensive, most powerful vessel in human history turns to T’Pol and asks who is in charge of engineering. The entire crew is like 80 people and Archer doesn’t know who the second most senior engineer is. Amazing.

Escape Goat posted:Yes The last rewatch that I did, I found some site that had reviews of every episode along with two other aggregated review sources (IMDB and some other fansite I hadn't heard of, I think), and I skipped anything that had bad reviews from all 3. It was most of season 1 and a good chunk of 2 as well. It really helped to smooth out the rewatch and, frankly, nothing of value is lost skipping like the bottom 20% of episodes. The thing that really stuck with me though is just how many real stinkers they had, even up through the last season (looking at you Masks and Sub Rosa).

In the pre holodeck era there was no point to knowing everyone’s names on a crew because you couldn’t magically summon their sexbot familiar out of thin air. Once the H-deck was invented everyone was in an immediate first name-last name basis. Crew members would rip through each others family photo albums and away mission tricoder scan logs looking for sexable life forms and rushing off to try them out like a wine tasting replete with spit bucket.

Oh please like you'd holobang your coworkers when you could holobang alexander skarsgård the reason everyone but riker is so unsexed in TNG is because they've all ruined themselves to only be able to get it up to impossibly perfect holosims anymore

That's true but I loved the simple music stings TNG always had at the start of an episode that was just, like, a single extended note that was still somehow still instantly recognisable and mood-setting as Star Trek.

Watching Enterprise for the first time and I can't tell if they intended Archer to come across as such an incompetent fuckup or not. But I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm kind of enjoying the story of the incompetent gently caress up Starfleet crew and how they constantly torture their poor Vulcan coworker to the edge of her sanity. And there have been a few pretty creepy horror notes in a few of the episodes that I've really enjoyed so far.

William Riker freezes in place, pulls up the flap of his dress uniform to conceal his face and spins 180 on his heels high tailing it back the way he came.

Speaking of that, just watched "Realm of Fear" (S6e02) and when Barclay snaps at the computer for asking him to specify temperature "just give me a glass of water!" They missed an opportunity for the computer to give him a scalding hot glass of water out of spite, IMO.

data didn't need the fancy positronic brain, it was just because the fancy positronic brain physically mimics our own biology he was recognised as a person. the computer's hardware isn't even humanoid, how could it be a person!?

Bashir and O'Brien should hate each other's guts after that, and one or the other of them should've been court martialed, depending on who you think was right (I agree with you that Bashir was in the right, but the writers appear to take O'Brien's side)

Kira was a True Believer, whereas Ro was always, "Oh no, not this poo poo again..." That being said, both hated Spoonies.

I think we really lucked out getting Kira instead of Ro. It not only makes sense that Sisko would, for political purposes, want his first officer to be in the Bajoran militia rather than a starfleet officer. It also provides the aspect where humanity by that point is super atheist, and Sisko having to work alongside someone who is not only religious as gently caress but sees him as a messiah.
