Sorry to keep posting from comic books, but in the latest issue of Star Trek: The Mirror War the (mirror) crew of the Enterprise goes to one of Picard's treasure stashes, only to find it empty with a note left by the thief; Just thought that was funny.

Once you're more familiar with how the universe works you'll find Excession easier Thanks so much for this, and thanks to the other Goons for your recommendations! Knowing that Player of Games might not only be better, but more accessible, is very exciting! I'll be checking it out for sure!

I’m sorry, did I really just watch an episode where some dude breaks Warp 10, kidnaps Janeway, they both evolve into giant tadpoles, have tadpole babies, get turned back into regular humans, and act like nothing happened? What the gently caress.

Had to post again because I forgot to mention the part where Chakotay just casually mentions he decided to leave the tadpole babies that represent the future of human evolution just chilling in some random planet in the Delta quadrant. What the hell, man.

I watched Threshold on a whim the other day and it is indeed very bad and stupid, but it kicks off a string of watchable-to-pretty-okay Voyager episodes. I liked the one with Tuvok and the kids stranded on the planet.

Good call. I mean they were highly evolved human lizard/frog people, there's not a chance in hell they wouldn't grow up to be massive assholes.

As is Mariner thinking Paris was still a salamander before he visits the Cerritos. Whoever that poor gently caress was ALSO broke the Warp 10 barrier.

Which book mentions the GSVs that take shifts just dropping off the grid and hanging out in empty space monitoring transmissions and being ready to tear rear end to another galaxy and rebuild The Culture from scratch via memory backups and rebirth if necessary?

I remember my first time... I stopped watching voyager until the last episode, and literally tuned in cause I was home from college and wanted to see if it was still on.

I missed it when it aired on tv, but Voyager was always the Trek I liked to tune into growing up. TNG was okay, I loved Data, but Voyager always felt like "my" star trek. tuning into ds9 i usually forgot it was star trek, i think i confused it with babylon-5 often. i love ds9 now but as a kid never sought it out on TV, as much as you could seek anything on a pre-determined schedule.

Isn't Threshold immediately followed by 'Meld'? I wonder how many people missed a genuinely good episode because Threshold just made them flee forever.

I joked about it earlier, but Threshold actually did make me a little more open minded about Voyager. If I can sit through what's widely considered the worst episode of the Berman shows and think "Eh, at least it's still Star Trek," when the credits roll, I can probably watch the rest of Voyager.

Voyager's Threshold is a natural progression for a franchise that put out TNG's Genesis only a few years prior. It's bad, but it's a better kind of bad than what came later.

Threshold isn’t that bad. Or I guess it’s better to say that Voyager has a number of episodes that are way worse

In a few dozen hundred million years our descendents will look back and marvel at the prophetic vision of Threshold and think it amusing us land-locked primitives thought it was so farcical. edit: how much to commission a specially edited "just the quiet chill parts" edit of a Trek season, I wonder? Between theme songs that are inexplicably three times louder than your maximum volume is set to scenes where lots of things are blowing up or going wrong, it's sometimes hard to doze off to.

threshold is in my opinion only uniquely bad in that its one of the episodes that opens the most cans of worms and then leaves them sitting there on the floor writhing and squirming for eternity. the premise is in all honesty somewhat salvagable, but the absolute level of "uhh we dont care, gotta get to the next act, gotta wrap this up, uhh its all better now" from the writers is truly on another level with threshold. the fact that they cared so little about their show on an individual episode level and in how what they were presenting on screen could possibly affect any past or future star trek was a giant obvious flag for people watching. the fact that it came in season 2 was particularly jarring. season 2 of a writers room shouldn't be so blatantly creatively bankrupt and completely sick and tired of trying to create television with a beginning, middle, and end.

Nitrousoxide posted:Threshold is downright good compared to 11:59. There are many kinds of terrible. One kind is just a complete loving bore that you forget in five minutes. Much of Voyager is this. Threshold is the kind of terrible where you want to make everyone you know watch it immediately so they can experience it. It's the good kind of bad.
