I don't think they really got how to do series openers until Voyager. And that one has a lot of help from DS9.

It's not the greatest premise but I certainly don't hate it. I think the hate or love of some episodes is the result of a feedback loop where opinions just get reinforced over and over. ...oh poo poo, maybe we need to decompress main shuttle bay.

Picard was captain of the Stargazer for twenty-two years. That shoulda been a 3 or 4 year stint and then onto some kind of planetside job and then back to the fleet.

I'd forgotten that existed. Or to watch it when I'd first heard of it. I'm instantly loving this. Quick, someone go bankrupt some TNG actors so they have to do this for more movies and episodes.

Sometimes I'll come across someone with a French surname and they pronounce it like it was English. Of course, Rene probably took pride in giving it the proper French pronunciation since his mom was a Princess and descended from French royalty.

Atlas Hugged posted:"Living Witness" is like a loving catnip premise for me. I had to pause it to do family stuff right as the museum curator announced the discovery of the memory bank. It's the closest thing Voyager has to a mirror-universe episode. It's also one of the Star Trek episodes that would work well as an episode of "Outer Limits" or some other anthology series.

I would love to watch Farscape for the first time again but also I really like that I've watched all of Farscape. It really made me appreciate puppetry done well. I remember at least one of the actors making a point of saying that it's way easier talking to a puppet with a face instead of a tennis ball on a stick.

So you think they have the computer picking up on this kind of thing via pattern analysis? Like "Crew are using the head (the nautical and therefore likely space term for toilet) 6% more than usual" So you know you should double check everyone for stomach bugs before it gets out of hand. I know if I was a starship captain the first thing I'd tell the computer is "if the number of people on board changes and isn't correlated to authorized shuttle or transporter use let me and security know right away"
