Pretty much this. They were re-treading a shitload of left-over Voyager garbage with the holograms, the Borg, and other stuff right from the get-go. Also by the end of season II they went from "fledgling Earth ship" to "toughest mutherfuckers in space" because they just happened to get phasers and photon torpedoes and better shields in the span of a year. Enterprise was about 50-50 decent/garbage until the last season. The temporal cold war was loving stupid, and if they wanted a year-long arc, they should have just started something with the Romulans.

I am telling the truth and Neelix was the sleeper hit of the show, like Quark.

Daily reminder that Commander Chipotle was literally John Redcorn from King of the Hill in outer space.

That should be a story, though: The entire night shift bridge made up of non-senior staff ends up having a major problem with an alien vessel and this crew of nobodies manages to solve a major crisis without waking the senior staff.

"No, listen, we make that call and the next thing you know you've got Janeway up here. You know who else is going to be here? Paris, Kim, Chakotay, Tuvok, all of 'em! Even Neelix will squirm his way up here. Then we're looking at a shooting war because they're all always fuckin' it up. Let's just handle this like we mostly do: Off the record!"

Voyager was quirky enough to do it, too

Professor Shark posted:

Yeah, like the Borg children episodes

Professor Shark posted:

Were they still operating under Gene Roddenberry's dumb rule where everything had to be resolved by the end of an episode?

Anyway, post your Night Shift fan fic itt

Oh if only Neelix died right then and there, and the crew airlocked Kes right after the funeral for being a waste of inertial mass. Might have been a decent show.

Not a whole lot.

Tom got to gently caress her in an alternate timeline.

Really? I could've sworn he did.

I mean if they do another trek ever it's just going to be strippers with alien makeup lotioning each other for 40 minutes

The warp core is just going to be a stripper pole with some Christmas lights

Uh on closer inspection her hands don't look to be a picture healthy circulation.

So, in the fine tradition of goon selectivity...

"wouldn't"

Sorry Chase.

Years after seeing this, I was taking a lit course and we were reading "Turn of the Screw." I thought "this is familiar, where the gently caress have I seen this before? " then I remembered this episode. Turns out that's the story that inspired the writer.

Sorry, I should have said the writer of the episode. It was an old Gothic tale.

Just going to leave this here

There is a reason that Geordi's best/only friend was the autistic robot man.

Data might have learned to be human if he wasn't constantly taking advice from a gigantic goon.

Monkey Fracas posted:

Upon reflection Geordi is obviously the worst, yeah

Worse than Barclay who's just kinda nervous and insecure and misses work because he's playing holo-waifu-dating sims

Worse than Worf with his klingon weeaboo space bushido

Worse than Data who is just a robot with a touch of the 'tism

Worse than Wesley who at least has the courtesy to gently caress off like halfway through the series

Barclay has a cat named Neelix

criscodisco posted:

He was right about the time there was space worms in the transporter, and he was right to worry about his flu when it turned him into a spider and Troi into a fishlady.

Meanwhile, in the TNG finale All Good Things..., the future ships were cruising around at warp 13, and no one was a lizard.

If this crossover ever happened Voyager might have been a bit more memorable. Lucy lawless should have at least shown up once.

Automatic Slim posted:

TNG used the Borg sparingly and that made them menacing. VOY they were monster of the week.

Tasha says drugs make you feel good but when the drugs wear off you feel bad and that's why drugs are bad.

A Vulcan would say that logically you should be on drugs always then.
