    And then Q putting the TNG officers into Sherwood Forest. Yeah, Trek does goofy like a pro when it wants.

    Just as stupid. Nothing beats allamaraine, although maybe blinking holos away should take that trophy now... XD
    And it's not a good argument to counter the opinion "stupid" to then show more stupid examples ;)

    Oh, I like some of the stupid in Trek. Modern Trek seems to have forgotten how to have the occasional dumb fun. ;)

    Sure it is. It's what makes Trek Trek. Enjoyment even in the silliest of things. As a starship captain once put it, "Sometimes you have to bow to the absurd."

    In one of the worst episodes of the series.

    And? Is it less Star Trek because of that label?

    I think what sinks this episode is the coldbloodedly way Riker murders his and pulaski's clones. Only a psychopath would behave this way. But I'd rather think of it as a writer's brainfart.

    And possibly, "food play" may be involved. :whistle:

    The fact tthat Tendi turned into a giant alien scorpion and then was better again by episode's end is ONE OF THE MOST TREK THINGS EVER.

    Fun, silly, and seeing our buddies dealing with the ass end of trash duty is always funny. Poor Mariner, who knew what she was in for, it was just a bad day. Tendy remains my favorite, though I'm glad to see Boimler being less brown nosey and more principled. That's what makes him a good person.

    Didn't care much for the Pakleds, never do. Still a solid episode.

    This one got a 7/10 for me.
