Boxturret posted:Is there a specific point in TNG where DS9 starts or do you just start alternating episodes at the start of season 6? DS9 starts soon after Chain of Command (TNG 6x11-6x12) and some things about how it starts are consequences of that episode. Also, there's a DS9 2-parter in season 2, eps 20 and 21, you want to watch that between TNG 7x20 and 7x24. And watch the first TNG movie before you start DS9 season 4.

I watched TNG/DS9/VOY first run and I used to really hate Voyager but I did a rewatch of Voyager a few years back with much lower expectations and really enjoyed the show. And I think a lot of my initial feelings about Voyager were influenced by things like Non Sequitur (VOY) airing right before Way of the Warrior (DS9) and Nemesis (VOY) airing right before A Time to Stand (DS9). So I'm expecting an airdate rewatch to be interesting.

Going to watch Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night followed by an episode where Tom Paris is bored with doing his job and is building a Camaro on the holodeck.

The problem with Voyager is they only remembered their (honestly pretty banger) series premise once every 5 or 6 episodes.

I think Voyager has some really good episodes and not every episode of DS9 is great but it's absolutely crazy that they were airing an episode where Harry gets trapped in his Beowulf holonovel on the same day as Improbable Cause.

"YOU BLEW UP YOUR OWN SHOP, GARAK!" God I love Rene in that episode. The scene with the poisoner is great simple suspense too.

The new Master Replicas collection just opened a bit ago. Picked me up the Titan from Lower Decks but they also have a few other cool items like The Cage Enterprise, K7, and the original Stargazer. They also had the very early enterprise with the circular engines but it's already sold out masterreplicas.com/en-us

when I watched voyager and enterprise I used episode guides to thin things down then got hosed off cause different guides said different things and I felt I missed out on stuff I might have liked so I decided to do all the trek in vague order of release (well maybe not TOS animated yet), analyse it and make my own rough guide, and while I'm only just closing in on the end of TNG season 7 so far I must talk about trekke- - having previously not watched any TOS beyond fragments of episodes and a film or two, I was genuinely surprised at just how loving good the good episodes were, "city on the edge of forever" and "the conscience of the king" come to mind but there were at least half a dozen absolutely cracking episodes. - this was sadly balanced by a lot of very mediocre stuff and some absolute misogynistic poo poo, especially later on when there were a handful of sets and even fewer storylines - holy gently caress the fifth film was really loving bad I stole popcorn from one of my kids just so I could throw it at the tv and boo loudly, thank gently caress I could watch 6 right after to wash away the stain - I always had the second season of TNG as a great improvement in my head, but 1+2 become very close in average point score if I ignore the two best episodes from S2 in the calculation, S3 onwards scores generally higher then it gets a bit drifty again around S6 - bit more respect this time around for sirtis's acting, its more she just got a lot of poo poo writing that rarely gave her any agency - even for '87 or '88 im shocked the tng racist episode made it to air, somehow worse than the loving tos racist one imo - mr homn is great, coulda done with three times as much mr homn, minimum - season 1 data seemed a lot more human like than the next few seasons of data - i'm so fuckin' pumped for ds9 I might make myself do voyager first so I have something to keep looking forward to

Data isn’t said to not be able to feel emotions until season 3, ‘Offspring’ maybe. Season one he’s clearly emotive, s2 there’s dialog to the effect that he experiences emotions differently or can’t feel certain ones. Season three he cannot feel emotion at all. Spiners performance tracks all that though

Season 1/2 Data is a far more interesting character than what came later. I never understood why they seemed to make a very conscious change to how he was written and performed.

I’m pretty sure it’s because they wanted a Spock 2.0. Which is crazy because Seven because a “Data but HAWT” for Voyager.

Timby posted:The destruction of the Enterprise is brought up multiple times in the episode. Watching The Way of the Warrior when it first aired in 1995 was absolutely insane. The TV shows actually acknowledging the movies as a thing that was concurrently happening instead of ancient history was revolutionary, especially in helping to cement Star Trek is an ongoing interconnected universe.
