The Higher Ground could of been a way better episode if they didn't focus on the weird transporter and focused more on the conflict between the terrorist group and the government.

I think if they had focused on the Maquis as Federation citizens who were so dissatisfied with the war and couldn't find a place for themselves after what happened it would of worked better for what they were going for. The whole we deserve to lives on these colonies because we're

Also the Solvang's Captain had already lost one ship and was not great under pressure.

Fighting Trousers posted:*fills in longhand* From: Starfleet Insurance and Requisition HQ (insurance@starfleet.terran) Hi, Again? Really? I'll need the crew logs and all the data from the ships computer. Just, maybe stay away from weird comets next time. Thanks, Lt. P'Nerious

MuddyFunster posted:The Bonding is alright by me. Feels like another thematic follow on from Survivors, the alien species of the week offering the young lad Jeremy (ROBOCOP 2 KID) his own little fantasy world where he can live with his recently dearly departed mum. Very low key, but thoughtful, engaging and all the Wesley stuff is good, especially the scene with Beverly. The moment where he confesses that he can barely remember his dad's face, while she, holding back tears, tells him she sometimes remembers all too well, LOVELY. Likewise, the scene of Data and Riker where they're discussing crew deaths, Tasha's in particular. It's emotional, but never really tips the line into wailing melodrama. A hushed, mournful little ep. I have a soft spot for The Bonding because of my own life, losing a parent early in life. Picard softening and telling Jeremey that he will never be alone and that he has family on the Enterprise to help is an amazing little line for a scared kid. I also like Worf and Troi's conversation at the start of the episode about how frustrating it is that random death took out someone and Worf has no way to direct his anger feels very real.

zoux posted:I get it's a whiplash in terms of how the character had been dealing with his Borg trauma, but the fact that we're seeing the most patient, clear-headed, and thoughtful officer in Starfleet lose his mind in a quest for revenge is a really good angle. Him dressing down Worf in that moment is both shocking but follows with his decline throughout the film. I do like that his rock bottom is calling Worf a coward instead of like mowing down a bunch of SF security guys who are about to get assimilated. First Contact plot with Cochran is also pretty good about what history leaves out about great men and what they are doing. Cochran is just a dude, history will make up its own narrative one way or another. Which is an interesting thing for 1998 or whenever it came out. It did a Great Man plot better than most movies today. Also, as someone who liked Picard Season 3 and didn't mind the assimilated youths thing, I did appreciate that Picard's solution was to sit with his son and just let him know he loved him and he was sorry and he will sit with him. Yah the Ent-D trench run is stupid but its actually, again, a very Trek/Federation thing to do. Try to have love or diplomacy win unless you absolutely have no choice.

I just saw a reel on instagram where they talk about Harriet Tubman leading the Union Army to free slaves. At one point a slaveowner tells all his slaves to follow him into the woods to escape the Union Army, thinking they were loyal to him. They told him, yah buddy we'll be right behind you and as he ran into the woods was shocked, SHOCKED that the slaves abandoned him, he thought they understood he was giving him a good life or something. Point being, everyone's the hero in their own story.

Der Kyhe posted:1/3 of utter crap, 1/3 of forgettable filler and 1/3 of brilliance. The way they used to make TV-show seasons. Pulling Up Memory Alpha and I am going to pull out every Average or above episode in my mind for TNG Season 1, 2, and 7: Season 1: Encounter at Fairpoint Coming of Age Heart of Glory Arsenal of Freedom Skin of Evil Conspiracy The Neutral Zone Out of these I'd say maybe 3 of these are good to great (Arsenal, Skin of Evil, and Conspiracy). Season 2: Where Silence Has Lease A Matter of Honor The Measure of A Man Q Who Samaritan Snare The Emissary Peak Performance I'd say all of these are good to great except for Where Silence Has Lease Season 7: Phantasms Dark Page Attached Paralells The Pegasus Lower Decks Thine Own Self Eye of the Beholder Preemptive Strike All Good Things (possibly the best series finale of anything ever) In the list there are three classics! The rest are fine to good. But looking at the rest of the season 7 list, most episodes veer between boring (Homeward, Bloodlines) or crazy (Masks, Sub Rosa). So my purely scientific analysis says Season 7 is better.
