I was watching Voyager (like, season 2) once with my Dad once, and he told me that he had the hots for B'Elanna - and then he asked me who I liked.

I truthfully told him Kes.

I still think he was testing my sexuality.

I do like the prime directive a lot of the time in trek. But sometimes it gets used really loving weirdly by the writers and is terribly handled.

Yep. The key issue with the MCU is the Avengers are superheroes with, necessarily, the knowledge and power to save the planet because that is their job, but they aren’t allowed to save the planet, just keep it in stasis, owned by the current people who are destroying it.

Tony alone could easily supply logistics solutions to feed, clothe and educate everyone on the planet. And Pim would make feeding everyone trivial. Thor could help establish actually workable offworld colonies that would eliminate the concept of land or resource scarcity. Spiderman could use his mastery of spider pheromones to mobilise an army to wipe out malaria mosquitos. These are obvious, uncontroversial steps. If they end all material suffering that’s gotta make an enormous impact, with knock on effects that would eliminate stupid crime bosses and evil corporations. Instead they pussydick around until a suit tells them to go punch an alien.

Superhero: "Look, I can totally fix everything and everyone will be happy"
Good Ol' USA: "No, the power of democracy forbids it!"
Superhero: "Ok I'm switching sides, I'm a Supervillain, I'll totally fix everything and everyone will be happy...by force "
USA: "Curse you! Bring up the B side, which has been training under ex-Superhero!"
Supervillain: "Curse you! They know my weaknesses!"

Well, it's time for the rewatch of TNG (before rewatching VOY and starting DS9 at the same time)

no - they're just advertising that they have another series running. there's some things introduced in tng that ds9 greatly expands on, but there's very little going the other way since ds9 was an experiment and tng was the established flagship show.

At some time, someone posted that the reason why everyone in Star Trek is obsessed with 4D chess is that they've sated every kind of sexual desire and peccadillo in the holodeck and are now prepared to appreciate the finer points of cool intellectual pursuits. But thinking about it, that's not all that far from the Next Gen concept which was almost a kind of demilitaried hedonism arc where humanity has an enlightened view of sex.

"I have had all the sex in the galaxy, so now I must play chess as my repentance, because Rome is dead and I can't start a war".

Ok so I finished TNG and started DS9 again (so now I know what the gently caress is going down with Bajorans and Cardassians, who are awesome)

The OP theme sucks, but I can live with it. But the Doctor guy sucks, he's like a lovely wannabe Tom Paris crossed with a well...who the gently caress knows, a cardboard cutout doctor who isn't Robert Picardo.

Does he get to be a cool dude? (I'm only just about to finish s1)

I’ve never seen this take on Bashir. He starts out as a naive nerd which is the exact opposite of Paris.

So far, all I'm seeing outside of doctor-work is that he's trying to hit on Dax a lot because she's got the slug in her

Just had a marathon of Generations/First Contact/Insurrection/Nemesis

Generations is good enough as the framing device for two captains
First Contact is great we all know it
Insurrection is truly the most boring, my god its a mountain hike
Nemesis ain't that bad, everyone who hates it is crazy, it's got Ron Pearlman in it so its good

My Dad thinks I'm wrong, only because he thinks he knows everything because he watched TOS as it actually aired.

I don't know why people gave it such poo poo, half the tng eps and 3/4 TOS are total trash too.

Well, it was a pretty standard episode for ~ 2/3 of it - science, technobabble, crewman who is actually a traitor, medical emergency with a snarky Doctor....

....until Paris dies and is reborn as a freak, evolves and grows extra hearts and spits a tongue out, talks like a 3 year old (LET ME OUT...PLEEEASSEEE), kidnaps Janeway to go and gently caress, slither out some slimy kids, and were magically un-evolved turned back within ~ 1/3 of an episode.

(I guess that's not a bad ratio)

I think they contrived the very bad Paris / Torres relationship so they could just write less total episodes about them and make all their episodes terrible character combinations.

I think they did this so they wouldn't need about writing about Paris trying to gently caress literally any female (or Harry) on the ship.
