see i think there's a way to handle this well. it's just a trailer so i can't say for certain but from what i remember in the books the women act tough but it's just a veneer to cover the fact that they're just as inept and susceptible to evil as the men. but probably not lol!

As usual, the "The longer the series goes on, the more we learn about the author's fetishes" thing is true of basically every sci-fi/fantasy series.

The best shows on Paramount+ are Detroiters, Review, and Reno 911. I haven't seen anything else on there worth watching.

The borg were one of the best villains the trek universe created and they've been milking them since.

Those are all bad shows. If you haven't already, watch DS9 instead. If you have, watch Babylon 5 until the end of season 4.

I don't even understand what the parasites thought was going to happen. They were so over confident that they tried to coup before they even had enough agents in place, then it just stands there while getting its hosts head blown off and, shortly after, vaporized while doing the same. Was this an elaborate suicide?

IIRC, it was supposed to be the start of a multi-episode subplot that the writers intended to be ongoing through the first couple seasons, but the producers (esp. Rick Berman) slapped it down after this episode in order to keep the series' appeal for syndication - where the real money was at the time.

It wasn't a great story, but I remember being excited about what was going to come next when I saw it as a kid. Then... *crickets*

ETA: I realize I wasn't really clear, the implication was that this was supposed to be just one cell of parasitic infiltrators among many, so that head parasite here basically knew the jig was up and wasn't putting up much of a fight, but it knew that the cause would live on. Again, though, none of the other stuff happened because syndication.

i like how they look at each other and they're both just like "gently caress this poo poo." i bet they had been wanting to do that for a long time. you never get to shoot your phaser at full strength as much as you'd like to so you got to take your shot whenever you can.

Yeah, if I remember right the last scene of that episode is ominous foreshadowing about more parasites coming in the near future, and then it's just never mentioned again.

A silly little mouse!
Most of the things from the Parasite subplot like the scooped up cities and the "hive mind assimilationist nvader from beyond known space" were folded or retconned into the Borg. In fact the Borg pretty much are just a more budget friendly rejiggering of the parasites that doesn't require all that expensive and time consuming animatronics/puppetry.
