"Hi Everybody!"
Nothing Human;

Now, new Bajoran officer we've never seen before, are you sure this is the man you saw murder your grandfather and brother along with hundreds of other Bajorans, leaving permanent psychological scars? You couldn't be mistaken, could you?

Are you certain you weren't mistaken? Absolutely 100% sure?

Let's do an investigation instead of believing your word. Just be absolutely sure.

I did at least like the Arnold Rimmer-esque photo slideshown scene in the cold open, with Chakotay ensuring everyone get the same full thrilling experience he and Harry Kim got instead of an emergency Yellow Alert.

"Archer's Theme" from the credits is much much better than faith of the heart

I remember as a kid watching "Broken Bow" and being excited for the new theme song...and then that came up. It was very much a :stare: moment.

I got to see an advanced copy a few hours before it premiered on TV and I spent some time trying to warn people that yeah, it wasn't a rumor they actually went ahead with the dopey theme song

Nobody believed me

What was disappointing for me was starting off with sweet meaty-sounding blasters firing energy bolts... and an episode or two in they go right to Phase Pistols.

A few episodes? Try by the end of the pilot. Apparently they were on board the whole time but nobody bothered to mention them until the last minute? Also after awhile they give up on the "only two settings" thing and just use them like regular phasers lol

can you use the transporter to... borrow... matter to enhance your own dick? like say riker's packing heat, if i pay off miles do you think he could atomize riker's junk and put it in mine if we teleport at the same time? I bet dick thieves are a major issue in the 24th century.

I don't believe it. Just because we've 'equalized' the race for big human cock doesn't mean the dick war wouldn't just escalate. Miles probably has some bad dragon poo poo going on underneath. He has a 2nd heart that just pumps blood to his phallus constructed from the stolen dicks of his starfleet enemies.

I'm not saying there isn't any deviation, but I bet you can get a Standard Galactic Penis for free in a post scarcity society at the nearest Doctor.

O'Brien becomes Kai due to some loophole when Kira gives birth to his child.

He just sits in the temple staring at a wall, dreaming about his lover cellmate with a thousand yard stare while Keiko lectures the Bajorans on the prophets being wormhole aliens.

Thirty Days;

Tom Paris is demoted to Ensign and sentenced to 30 days in the brig. This could've been a character piece similar to Sevens actually-good episode the previous season where she's stuck looking after the ship while everyone's in stasis... but instead it's just the framing device for a regular episode that could've been ended with him being sent to the brig as punishment :nallears:.

The ocean in space was pretty cool at least.

I did too, I just think the framing device of "reciting a letter in the brig" was dumb, considering it implies he spent 30 days telling the story. Especially when it just skips from Day 10-ish to Day 30.

I always thought Enterprise was good despite Archer being a plank of wood. Kind of realistic in that sense that the captain of a military vessel be dry as oats.

do we ever see them outside the holodeck? and if so, how do we know it isn't a simulation inside a simulation?

Quark could easily spin it into a love of the Profits his entire life, and a mere fact of federation mistranslated text that stopped the Bajoran and Ferengi from ruling the gamma quadrant.
