List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

The Search for Spock

I'm twenty minutes in. I've totally forgotten the movie, it's like seeing a new movie. Looks great. Weird, I used to dislike all the movies, now I seem to enjoy them all. Maybe it's because I'm watching them on a big projection screen and not a tv.

The movie does feel rushed though, they were trying to fit too much, should've been a two part motion picture.

 

I like how the mystery unfolds as Nagilum toys with the ship, creating situations that make no sense, and Riker and Worf both flip out.

"A ship has one bridge! ONE BRIDGE!! ONE RIKER!! ONE BRIDGE!!!"

 

The Immunity Syndrome

 

TOS-Journey To Babel. Vulcan family problems, Alien intrigue, Kirk saves the day, Bones gets the last word.

 

A Private Little War

 

I like that Kor is such a multi-layered villain.
Also, he makes gold glitter pants look manly.

Last night I watched Blood Oath and Rejoined. I forgot how good DS9 was...

 

Nothing else decent on broadcast TV last night.
TOS "The Omega Glory"
Anyone ever go back to retrieve the U.S.S. Exeter?
TNG "Schizoid Man"
Dumb. Everyone that goes through the Academy has to take some dumb brainwave test. Including Data.
Now listen carefully: Data does not have any brainwaves. He's an android. Duh.
DS9 "Whispers"
Had this one figured out early when I first saw it years ago.

 

ENT - Oasis. Good to see Rene Auberjonois again but frankly I think he was more memorable voicing Louis the Chef in The Little Mermaid.

 

Just watched The Voyage Home. An okay flick, but that ugly pink t-shirt dates the movie pretty severely. Enjoyed it less than the Search for Spock. Also, I think I missed something, where did the Enterprise come from in the end?

 

Either a new construct they gave the name, or a ship they rechristened. No details were ever given for its origin.

Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise theorizes it is the transwarp testbed ship USS Ti-Ho. Guess that explains how they got to the center of the galaxy so quickly.

 

TNG: Datalore, streamed on Netflix.

 

"All of Our Yesterdays" on MeTV.
Surprise note: The Captain can fence.
Never liked Spock's line at the end about Zarabeth being dead and buried for 5000 years. Who buried her?
And of course the entire plot could have been avoided if the landing party had followed the rules and identified themselves when they first met Mr Atoz. As they usually do.
i.e. " My name is Captain James T. Kirk of the Federation starship Enterprise. These are my officers Mr Spock and Dr McCoy. Where did everyone go?" Duh. Too hard?

 

TNG: "The Hunted". A relevent and earnest show about what happens to/what to do with soldiers when there's no war, but unless Roga Danar had been studying Galaxy-class schematics while he was on Lunar 5, I found most of his evasion of the the crew while aboard the Enterprise unbelievable.

 

The Deadly Years (TOS Blu-ray)

 

Mirror Mirror (TOS)

 

All Our Yesterdays (TOS) on MeTV, Saturday night. I don't really watch episodes elsewhere. Instead, I look forward to each weekly Star Trek like when I was a kid.

 

He's a sentient android with positronic brainwaves. Another prescient STNG episode about mind uploading..something we can probably do in 30 years or so.

RAMA

 

TOS-Friday's Child.

 

Star Trek Into Darkness

Showed it to my gf for the first time, she loved it. It was my third time watching it. This movie is growing on me, the first scene on Nibiru is STAR TREK at its best, imho, even though it's pretty silly, we all get the need to condense the situation to an environment where it can be shown on screen.

The idea of Khan and his genetically engineered comrades is both a source of delight and annoyance with me. Granted, the idea is not new, but it's one of those moments where Star Trek is self-aware of an obvious technological future (humans being augmented through either genetic engineering or synthetic integration) and uses it as a plot device but fails to extrapolate it to a universe wide scale. We also see this with the Suliban a hundred years earlier on a more or less species-wide scale. So everyone knows that humans can be improved, augmented, it has been done, and yet absolutely nothing positive came of it in centuries of time, even by the 24th century humans remain unaugmented, completely natural and biological beings that can be killed with a simple bullet. Realistic? No. Makes it for easier story telling? Absolutely.

However, I give props for at least exploring the question in Space Seed, Wrath of Khan and Into Darkness. Same goes for exploring CRYONIC preservation, not cryogenic as it is referred to in the movie. Why not perform a 20 second research into the subject and use the right terminology? There are companies offering cryonic preservation today, while cryogenic research is an enormous field of study but has nothing to do with cryonics other than comparable temperatures used in the application.

 

Profit and Loss (DS9). I forgot how bad DS9 could be, overacting galore. Garak was the only one who made this episode worth watching.
