It was a weird choice by the writers to spend so much time constructing this nuanced and dysfunctional but believable and great family, only to then never show them again and subsequently incinerate them in a fire. Especially when they later on seemed to have been retconned into entirely...

These rules are confusing as hell, so I'll just throw my vote in here for tabulation: the episode where a single Kelpien is screaming because he's bored, and it destroys all dilithium in the galaxy is, beyond a doubt, the stupidest of the stupid.

Totally agreed, we must be sensitive to the show and ensure nothing we say sends it into its safe space.

I totally agree!

The T-800 is dispatched to correct the timeline by preventing Michael Burnham's parents from meeting and the catastrophe of temporal changes that were to follow as a result of that fateful and unintended liason.

In the curious case of Geordi's wild ride on the turbolift in "Contagion," it seems that the laws of physics have also taken a detour to explore the final frontier. As LaForge attempts to reach the bridge, the turbolift takes leave of its senses and accelerates to Mach 1, plastering him to the...

Yeah, but TOS had more of an ensemble approach to the trope. Think about how many times Kirk went nuts/got body swapped/got taken over by a mind intruder, for example.

This is very timely! I actually started a thread on the subject of "Tuvok goes crazy" here: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/the-vulcan-mind-melt.314654/

I like this theory!

Throughout the run of Star Trek, from The Next Generation forward, two recurring tropes were always guaranteed to crop up during any given season: Q, and holodeck malfunctions. While the former was generally something to look forward to, the latter tended to feel like moments when the writers...

Thing is, I bet there is going to be a lot of resentment among the brass regarding her ability to beat those charges, and I think that could have repercussions for a while.

I was really hoping this was going to be a thread that depicted the aftermath of horrific transporter accidents.

As discussed at length in another thread, the material composition of the sliding doors aboard the Enterprise-D is a thing shrouded in mystery and confusion. In some episodes, the doors are flimsy affairs that shatter when a human being is thrown through them; in others, they are indestructible...

I assumed that Season 2 would not forget that Picard was a robot and find a way to undo his transformation into a golem. And then I assumed that Season 3 would not forget that Picard was a robot and find a way to undo his transformation into a golem. I was mistaken. However, we did get more...

Yes, and there seems to be 200% more comedy and character deconstruction happening this season, hence the use of the term "reinvented." As I said, now that I've accepted this truth, I'm slightly less bothered by the plots.

I love this theory. Add in the time travel causing some terrible mishap in which Michael Burnham's mutiny fails, thus undoing all of Discovery's canon, and I'd say you've got an excellent series finale.

Since Strange New Worlds has apparently reinvented itself to be a comedy show, I'm slightly less bothered by the idea of an upcoming crossover with Lower Decks. I'd also love to see an episode where Pike's cooking goes horribly awry and leaves everyone except for Pelia stricken with...

Thank you for the civil and insightful response. This hypothesis makes sense.

I agree with 100% of your thoughts here. Articulated exactly my feelings about the episode in a way I don't think I could have expressed. Well-said, all of it.

I'm aware. Which, again, is why I feel like it's a cringe thing to do.
