You know, I think I liked Polaski better than Crusher.

I'm watching season 2 of TNG and I think it's funny that about halfway through they decided that Data shouldn't be completely autistic all the time.

Holy poo poo the Pakled epsiode is bad. It keeps bouncing back and forth between the completely different plots with zero sense of pace, and clumsily connects them at the end.

Baka-nin posted:On a first watch straight after Q Who its pretty bad, but it does have some redeeming qualities. It's hard not to smirk when the ultra smug early TNG crew get outwitted by the morons from outer space, and I can't help but smile as they slap Geordi around with their space lazers. I think it's also the start of the trend of Worf voicing a perfectly valid security concern and everyone else laughing at him for being paranoid.

Up The Long Ladder is definitely one of the worst episodes of Star Trek. Here's a colony that has only been able to survive via cloning, but now they need new genetic material. The crew adamantly refuses to donate any of theirs because...? So they have to take drastic measures and forcibly take some material from Riker and Pulaski. Kind of a dick move, but understandable given the dire circumstances. But then Riker decides that the best course of action is to murder their clones in cold blood. And that's not even mentioning the Space Irish.

Paradoxish posted:It's definitely a good example of TNG writers not really thinking things through all the way, but given that those clones were never even conscious I'm not really sure how murder-y the whole thing was. I'd say it's more like they aborted their rape babies. Not really. I mean, the clones were being raised in a vat, and if they hadn't figured out the devious plot they would have known nothing about it. It would be more like if a woman had a single ovum removed, artificially fertilized, and implanted in a willing surrogate. If it was done against her will it would be illegal as heck, but at the same time I don't think the victim would be able to demand that the fetus be aborted as long as the surrogate was fine with it. But whatever, dumb episode. I guess in the 80s, cloning was still a weird sci-fi concept.

That doesn't really bother me though, because my genetic material is only part of me, not my entire being. If someone cloned me, the clone would be an entirely different individual from me who just happens to have the same genetic code. I'd be no more bothered by it than if my parents told me I had a twin brother that they gave up for adoption.

Crusher gets her dumb rear end kidnapped by Space Palestinians because apparently being a doctor means abandoning all sense of self-preservation and rushing immediately after a terrorist bombing to treat wounded. Pulaski would have never pulled this kind of poo poo. As a side note, apparently Ireland will be reunified in 2024.

MikeJF posted:Yeah. Plus, it's presumably a pretty small black hole. Which wouldn't actually have any effect even if it was relatively close to Earth. It'd just act like an extra planet. But black. And hole-ish. An "extra planet" would gently caress up the orbits of all the other planets pretty badly.

He didn't even try though. I agree that it's in character for him and "good" in that context, but it's still frustrating as heck.

Nazareth posted:I usually hate the "evil twin episode" a lot of Western shows like to have. It's rarely done well and it's so tiring when they do it. However, I didn't actually hate this episode. I liked learning about Data's background. It was cool knowing that his creation was inspired by Asiimov. I also have a feeling that we'll see Lore again. I hope he sports a moustache. I have good news for you.

Well, Picard and the crew made the right decision and allowed a human boy who was captured and raised by aliens to return to the only father he ever knew. Immediately after the credits: Picard has to explain to an admiral why she'll never get to see her long-lost grandson ever again.

The Loss is a great episode, it has Troi realizing that she uses her empathic powers as a crutch and she doesn't actually know how to deal with people without them. ...except that she magically gets her powers back in the end and doesn't learn anything from the experience. The End! No moral.

Cojawfee posted:The fact that they use telepathic and empathic aliens in an official capacity is such bullshit. They could just pretend you're lying and no one would know. My favorite thing is the episode where Data gets kidnapped by the collector guy. Troi being able to tell that the dude is lying would instantly resolve the conflict, but she's not on the bridge at the time so I guess everyone just takes his word for it and accepts that Data is dead with absolutely zero foul play.

I love the wrap up at the end of Identity Crisis. Hey, we saved Geordi from mutating into a feral alien creature, can we do anything for all the other folks that did? Nope it's far too late for them, just trust me on this. No point in even trying.

I don't care how little sense it made, that scene in the holodeck where Geordi removes all the people and there's still a humanoid shadow is still one of the most fundamentally disturbing things to me, and I still sometimes have nightmares that feel like that scene, twenty years later.

Just watched Schisms last night and it definitely takes the cake for "the computer can tell you that a crew member was abducted from the ship, but it won't alert you when it actually happens". I think that's one of the dumbest things about TNG for me.
