Count yourself lucky.
Feel free to keep talking, I'm just not going to say anymore on the subject til I get there in the list, but I'm happy to listen to new ideas, as long as we're not going in circles. I've done you guys a courtesy by watching this an extra time, and we seem to be watching 2 different episodes. So far you guys have convinced me I'm going to have to lay out a review very meticulously and spend some runtime on this one, that I legit don't seem to be seeing the way some others have.
It's for the best. To the episode's credit it sets itself up in a way that has potential, which is why I find it so lacking at the end. It's a neat little wrap up that could have just as easily had Spock say to McCoy "It would be very interesting to return in 50 years and see the results of the seed you planted." It's that dismissive of the dilemma.I feel bad saying this, but I can't even remember anything about "Dear Doctor", and I just watched it as part of a binge of ENT last year.
I'm sorry, Mr. of IzarI feel bad saying this, but I can't even remember anything about "Dear Doctor", and I just watched it as part of a binge of ENT last year.
I don't disagree with much on this particular video, other than I don't think Vox Sola is a bad episode for Enterprise. It's not a great episode mind you, but it gets points as being one of the only Trek episodes (post TOS) which deals with non-humanoid aliens, along with one of the only episodes besides Darmok which deals with the communications difficulties of first contact. Certainly there's tons of far worse episodes in the series, such as Precious Cargo (my single least favorite Enterprise episode - nothing good about it other than ogling at Padma Lakshmi and trying to ignore her terrible acting, or the one built around Trip being raped as being funny.
Don't forget the ENT episode "Dawn", for a better example than either you mentioned of communications difficulties. While Precious Cargo won't survive the bottom 100, I've never understood why people think it's the absolute worst episode. Yes, some bad acting and wasted filler, but objectively, I feel it has more going for it, then a lot of the bottom 100. It's forgettable Trek for sure, but has actual character development for Trip, which is something the majority of the bottom 100 lack. No exploration of human condition, and no or limited character development, or absolute absurdity.

Same here. Actually feels like alien contact and gives Hoshi something to do. Certainly rank it above several other episodes.
Well, I like aliens, and non humanoid creatures, and innovation.
Was that a bridge too far? I wasn't even the one that came up with it, Allison Pregler was, and damn if it isn't an accurate description!
I'm not sure if this one, or her one on "Encounter At Farpoint" is my favorite. Gropler Zorn as a verb and an adjective!
Didn't know about that one. I saw her Sub Rosa one, it was also quite funny.
PSA: BACK YOUR IMPORTANT STUFF UP MULTIPLE TIMES! I had been working on this project off a Network Attached Storage drive to work on multiple computer...that just mostly died, and decided to reset itself to factory wiping away 2TB of all kinds of different personal data, movies, and music..including the master list for this project. I have a copy from before I started releasing the series, that I can mostly reconstruct the rest. But I also had the next 50 episodes worth of notes there with no backup...so I've got to watch them all again. Morale of the story:BACK YOUR IMPORTANT STUFF UP MORE THAN ONCE!
755. Not Spirit Folk.
754. Spirit Folk? No.
753. Surely Spirit Folk?
752. Still not Spirit Folk!?
Also, I see Who Mourns For Adonis is at 747. I mean sure - it wasn't A-grade TOS, but it wasn't dog shit either.
I just scanned over the vids on the YT channel and didn't see anything Voyager related.
It must be exempt. Odd.
Guess you totally missed episodes 5 and 6...No still not spirit folk, but after episode 5 there's a much bigger mix of series, with a ton of Voyager.
