Hi friends, I have never watched TNG before or really any Star Trek for that matter but just started watching catching random episodes on Pluto.tv and I think this show might be kinda good! I went back and started watching from the beginning on Netflix, I particularly liked the episode where everyone got covid if covid just made you super horny. Picard grunts suggestively at one point when he realizes he's been infected and it was really loving funny.

If you’re looking for consistent horny space people and viruses then trek might let you down in the long run

Might I recommend Farscape?

Good news! If you make it past the next episode you will have watched what is probably the worst episode in the entire run!

Oh it's problematic.

It was originally supposed to be a race of reptiles following a code of honor similar to bushido. But got turned around by a staff writer to be "tribal africans" instead.

I thought that was the director that decided to go that direction with the casting and costuming.

Yeah, that's why the robots were able to set the atmosphere on fire.

Edit: as pointed out above, Mars has a negligible magnetosphere IRL and won't hold any kind of atmosphere of any kind because solar winds just blow it away.

Can't hold atmosphere over a short time astronomically speaking, or an inconceivable long time on human terms.


That said nasa thinks only 1 tesla in martian orbit would be enough to restore some kind of martian atmosphere

I honestly don't get why people think Jake would spend his life trying to get his father back after the end of DS9. He knows where his father is, he knows he is there willingly, and he knows he will see him again (provided Jake doesn't die in an accident or something). Hell, if he really needs his help he can just fly into the wormhole and ask to see him, Sisko will definitely take the time to say hello. The prophets won't care, they have no concept of time! There is precisely zero reason for Jake to do anything. And if he did, what would he do? Would he declare war on the prophets, try to destroy the wormhole, or join the Bajoran priesthood? The Federation is not going to sign off on helping him harass the prophets just because he misses his dad, that's for sure.

In my mind Jake likely left to become a journalistic writer before writing an account of the events on DS9 and the ascent of Bajor to the Federation which was deeply loved in the Federation. That became popular after Romulans were less then happy with Federations efforts to help with Homeworld issues.

Since it’s canon that humans are the horniest species, it was a repetitive trashy romance: Fifty Generations of Grey (the love interest is The State, of course)

Haha.

That's one of my favorite episodes. What if we are all like those aliens, just playing archetypes? Like two people hell bent on killing each other, and they both succeed, then afterwards, in some other dimension, they re-become the original aliens, and have a calm and friendly discourse on the experience.

O'Brien, wearing a sheet with way too many holes cut into it, gazes into the bag in his hands. "I got a potato..."

*Flashback ends* "And that, Molly, was the best Halloween ever."

Molly: "Can I go live with Mommy?"

o'brien has great scenes and episodes rather than individual lines. his life is an endless joke that is all set up and no punch line.

my favorite o'brien scene was in tng shortly after he married keiko, and he was having trouble with her bizarre all-kelp diet that she insisted he also follow even though technically everything from a replicator is vegan. so he decided to meet her halfway and replicated one of his family's recipes, a fairly innocuous vegetarian potato casserole and keiko acted like he had poo poo on her plate.

why not? it's not like o'brien is a prankster or has a taste for exotic cuisine or anything. at worst proximity to the man might cause depression, but that would happen no matter what dinner consisted of.

Late TNG would never have deigned to have a little fun with the good ship Lollipop, they would have stuck their noses right into the ceiling and huffed about "this is Star Trek The Next Generation, we are making the most innovative, groundbreaking television, we do not have time for such frivolities as *sniffff* ...Shirley Temple references."
