The only big crossover is Worf joining the DS9 regular cast in season 4. Otherwise it's an episode here and there that really doesn't require you to know the other series.

I'm a weirdo who enjoys the ENT mirror universe episode. It's good, hammy fun full of people being retards, Enterprise dispensing with the usual protests it makes about its women existing only for fanservice, and Hoshi getting to do something for once in the show's run.

That's not weird, that's the best mirror universe episode and probably the best ENT episode. They had so much fun with it. The only good DS9 one was the one where Rom was along and constantly questioning the premise.

I liked that they got a letter from MGM for that episode, though I don't think there's much legal ground to stand on there. Yeah it was obviously Bond but it's all parody.

Garak's incredulousness about the whole thing was great.

It suffers from only being these three movies. Nimoy Spock showing an emotional reaction to Kirk's death or Vulcan being destroyed doesn't feel out of character to me but those wouldn't be the only two events we'd seen in his existence.

Whoopi Goldberg was definitely the biggest star on the show at the time. LeVar Burton would've been second and I am not sure if Patrick Stewart was known at all in the US. I suppose I, Claudius would've aired.

B5 season 1 is so much better the second time through because holy poo poo is everything foreshadowed well. JMS working on that show for ten years before he could get it made must have been frustrating but in retrospect was a great thing.

The Thaw is bizarre but really good. And even if it were bad I'd rather something weird but trying than the majority of boring poo poo Voyager episodes.

Yeah I'm not looking forward to it. The only thing I'd want to see in that general era is the Romulan War. I feel like they're trying to convince everyone how good TOS era is by rehashing it over and over and over and I'm just not interested. I love the original movies. But it's been done, it's over, move on. Why constrain yourselves so much? There's so much to do. poo poo just do something like Voyager but not terrible, send a ship out into the 98% of the galaxy that's unexplored.

Are the Romulans necessarily concentrated on Romulus? Vulcan's just one world but the Romulans have a huge empire, surely there are a lot of them not on Romulus. It's a blow but I don't see why it'd be equivalent.

I really wish they had gone ahead with having the Romulan on DS9. I can't imagine how they ever thought there was nothing to do with that character and dropped it. I appreciate Moore realizing how dumb that was in retrospect but man what a missed opportunity.

How do you know? They're not even from Romulus, they immigrated there in the not too distant past. We know virtually nothing about the organization of the empire, it may not even be the most populated planet. If they're really sticking to the Roman Empire theme, Rome itself wasn't terribly important for the latter half of Roman history.

I mean you guys could be right but they really haven't told us anything about how the empire works in the show. It's wide open for them to do whatever they want with it. Most interesting would probably be the empire fragmenting. I could see a faction doing a Praxis thing and making peace with the Federation, an extremist faction, factions of the other races that the Romulans presumably control, etc.

They knew they were ending and wrapped it up though. I remember them talking about how they thought the show was still very much in its stride and could've gone on longer if they weren't being forced to end by the seven season convention.

It'll be interesting to see what they think. I don't know if you need to stretch the war at all, there's plenty to explore in the consequences. That was one thing B5 did well, they had a good amount of episodes getting into what happens next once the big war's over.

The water thing was hilarious. They really gave it no thought at all. Or maybe they were trying to say the Kazon are so loving stupid they have space travel but think they have to go steal water from other people on desert planets instead of collecting ice literally anywhere.

The first adult shows I ever got into were Star Treks so I have this deep rooted thing in me about the first season or two of any show must be bad, and am to this day always a little surprised when a show is good right from the beginning. Or god forbid when the beginning is the best part and it gets worse, that's just bizarre.

I remember seeing a count of how many torpedoes Voyager fired and it was like three times the number they had.

I can buy them manufacturing more torpedoes more easily than building that many shuttles though. Except they made a big deal about what resources they had at the beginning, and never showed anything like converting part of the ship into a manufacturing lab to make parts and whatever.
