S1E9 of TNG "The Battle": For revenge, an alien race that believes women shouldn't wear clothes and turbo-capitalism gaslight, trigger, and torture Picard, leaving you to wonder if they write their reports like "(((Picard)))" I know I'm still super early into the show, but this one was pretty drat Good! This is the first one that really got me into the story. I'm amazed that within a couple of episodes the Ferengi went from dweeby hyperactive goblins to an actual threat.

of course the first "the holodeck is loving amazing, guys!" episode leads to someone dying. seeing Picard get pumped as hell for seeing cars was worth it

Nessus posted:I thought the idea there was that the planet of addicts were going to have mass involuntary detox and would then be fine, while the planet whose only industry was selling narcotics would be like "uh, welp." I kind of had that thought, but I still find a forced detox not fully humane. yeah, it screws peddler planet in the long run, but addict planet is going to suffer like hell for an undeterminable amount of time. find a way to help addict planet while dicking with peddler planet.

Nazareth posted:Certainly the Ferengi were a poor execution since all I've heard about them were "Space Jews" or whatever crass accusations of anti-Semitism the Internet threw at Roddenberry. I'm not sure if that's fair since his purported political views match up with the intention of creating the Ferengi as a strawman race for capitalism. right now, getting real creepy about Wesley

Blazing Ownager posted:I know. Why don't they dare going past the DS9 in the timeline? Seriously, what are they afraid of? not having the borg, I reckon. they seem pretty important to the series as a whole, so maybe they can't figure out what to do afterwards also, thank God for the scenes with Picard and Wesley on the shuttle craft during the Pakled episode, holy hell. Up The Long Ladder wasn't so bad, to me. I don't know if it's because the previous one was the Pakled, or if it was so dumb it was funny

funny way to spell posted:I've just found a massive plot-hole in Star Trek. On stardate 46379.1 the USS Enterprise D arrives at Deep Space Nine "to assist in the reconstruction of the Bajoran aqueduct systems, damaged during the Cardassian occupation". The exterior view of the Enterprise docked at an upper pylon is shown in both the DS9 episode "Emissary" and in the Next Generation episode "Birthright, Part I". However, in the TNG episode Bajor is nowhere to been seen. Both episodes take place before the station was moved closer to the wormhole by order of Major Kira in "Emissary, Part II" Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

Powered Descent posted:Yes it is, since TOS. Garth of Izar fought in it. Garth of Izard should just be Garth of Wayne's World. Finished up season 3 of TNG. Locutus of Borg shouldn't have been over in a two parter. it's such a neat concept to just be done with it immediately. Worf's parents are really great, too

Dirty posted:Couldn't agree more. Really wanted to like it, but it's just dominated by clutter. it looks like Picard, Riker and Troi are game show contestants. the entire set feels like some kind of Space Who Wants to be a Millionaire wait no, it's weakest link. Picard swivels his chair around asking people on the outer edges of the bridge questions. cheating in space weakest link is so rampant, Riker and Troi are this week's rotating panel judges.

MorgaineDax posted:gently caress every single person that doesn't love Number One Dad in the Number One Episode. Yeah. But I don't think it's the worst, just spectacularly stupid. I get wanting to do an environmental episode at that time. But there just needs to be a better way to go about doing that rather than having lines in future episodes where you just get around the issue with "Starfleet says we can go real fast now".
