No Luck Needed posted:TNG ends with Q telling picard that there is more out there than exploring the stars That episode is terrible and crazy yeah. Even then they could have saved it by doing a follow up plot where Kurn’s memories come back on their own, or else Worf has to work with this guy who doesn’t realize they used to be brothers, or something. But no, nobody ever heard of him again. Lame

anyone ever notice the last several episodes of TNG are about father relationships? Firstborn about Worf and his son Bloodlines about Picard and his "son" Emergence about the Enterprise giving birth to a life form and at the end picard states he does not know what will become of what they created, like a child Preemptive Strike, Ro returns and betrays Picard like a child rebelling then in the finale the paradox is only created because Q allows Picard time time shift thus allowing Picard to do a science thing and bring the paradox into being, like Picard and Q had a paradox child Picard and Q did bang in Tapestry

I've noticed Season 7 is big on parents in general; aside from the ones you mentioned, Sub Rosa has Bev's grandma, there's that one episode with Data's mom-droid, the one where Geordi's mom goes missing. Wesley's last episode is also a big parental friction episode.

Also, woah, hold on:No Luck Needed posted:Preemptive Strike, Ro returns and betrays Picard like a child rebelling Picard hosed up big-time in this episode. She came to him to tell him she had serious doubts about her ability to complete the mission, and he loving goes off on her and uses threats to try and get her to comply. He should have pulled her from the mission.

Preemptive Strike is fun because it’s like a month after Picard unethically dispatched another female Bajoran junior officer with disciplinary issues on a risky mission and she didn’t come home. Slow learner

Isn’t there a quote in the 50 Year Mission book about how the TNG writing staff knew they were done when they realized they were writing episodes about family members the viewers wouldn’t care about?

I want Lower Decks to do an extremely grim and straight-played flashback to Shaxs’s time in the Bajoran Milita and the Cardassian occupation, only for it to smash cut to wacky hijinx and have it never be mentioned again.

Cat Hatter posted:Workshopping the opening sentence to Dukat's autobiography? The Bajorans. A proud people with an unbroken chain of civilization stretching back for thousands of years. One might ask, what was the driver that enabled such a stable society for so long? Unlike we Cardassians, it was not a strong society built on the rock steady foundation of order and justice, but on the certainty that one knew one's exact position and role in society. With their caste system, they groomed themselves for the moment that the right leader would chance upon them and fulfill their innate desire to submit and serve their leader that they knew, at their deepest, was their unquestionable superior. It is with this in mind, noble reader, that you can only begin to understand the burden I would carry during my time as their master.

I remember watching First Contact in theaters and eye-rolling hard when RIker said that the Defiant was "adrift but salvageable" this is like during the first part of season 5 of DS9, too bad the defiant wasnt like the runabouts or the endless voyager shuttles; would almost be humorous if Sisko keep renaming the new ships sent to him as Defiant, this would allow the ship to be destroyed more in stories and about the Picard strong-arming Ro Laren, it is just the writing for the episode and that is common in television for characters to do things to fit scripts instead of how of a normal person would do things I would have enjoyed to see if Ro Laren and Thomas Riker with the Maquis survived the Dominion/Cardassian badlands mass assault

TOS- The Lights of Zetar- This episode gets low ratings but I don't think it's that bad. Maybe a mid-level Season 3 TOS episode. I think the main issue for me is that the Scotty/Mira elements come off as very misogynistic. Throughout the episode he kind of just blows off her concerns and writes off her feelings as 'space sickness' or whatever since they establish at the beginning that this is her first deep-space assignment. In reading about the production of this episode I discovered that it was co-written by children's entertainer Shari Lewis and her husband. That and Lewis is the one who wrote in the Scotty/Mira romance parts. Which I think are the weakest part of the episode. She wanted to give someone else besides Kirk a romance plot, which is fine, but it isn't well executed. Kind of like with a few other episodes of this season, they don't fully explain what is going on until the very end, so we don't get to learn much about the Zetarans' deal, other than that their planet was wiped out by some catastrophe and what is left is some essence of 100 of them. Kirk also very quickly decides to take them out when it appears like they won't cooperate, which I think is more of an episode time constraint but it is a very quick decision. Ron Moore apparently thinks that this episode is worse than Spock's Brain and I really don't understand how you could think that. It's more bland than bad, to be honest.

Starting The Voyage Home. drat, Nimoy gets four credits up top. A Leonard Nimoy film, as Spock, story by, and directed by. Where do I get McCoy’s jacket Huh, so time travel at this point is easy as “we’re in an unfamiliar Klingon ship, but we got this” and then they just DO it WOW this is a way different movie than the others. This is like a goofy 80s comedy. Feels more like a movie made by the Three Men and a Baby guy than TSFS When they transport out of the hospital, why do they land outside the ship? Just to leave the mom from 7th Heaven there? Overall, fun movie! Liked it more than III but still not that much. And I am very discouraged by the fact that this is one of the even and therefore “good” ones. Hope I like VI more because so far it’s been a real downhill slide since WOK. Not at all looking forward to the TNG ones either. Unmature fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Sep 29, 2020 |
