    I hated the Q character but

    I hate Q too tbh. I generally dislike omnipotent characters/reality benders. Plus, I think he's annoying. Though tbf while I dislike all his episodes to some degree, I only think his Voyager appearances are absolutely abysmal. I any case, I'm glad he only appeared once on DS9

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    And at least according to TOS, that was also the motivation for the Klingons to expand outward and conquer. I greatly prefer that to the idea that the Klingons got warp drive from those "Hur'q" people and just went crazy.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I would not tweak him at all. He does not need to be "redeemable" And I disagree, as Cmdr. Troi wrote, he claimed that his aim was to minimise Bajoran suffering, but the Bajorans remained the equivalent of "sub-human" to him. Plus even in his interactions with the Bajorans and his claims how...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    The Cardassians as a people...yes, okay. Dukat...no.

    Nemesis is better than Insurrection: Convince me otherwise.

    I imagine being put into that (possibly ahistorical) Brazen Bull torture device is still more enjoyable than Insurrection. So Nemesis being better than it isn't really an accomplishment. And it still has that absolutely bizarre dune buggy chase...

    Code Of Honor: What Do You Think?

    So one person involved with it likes it, good for herl. And yes,the costumes were rather pretty, especially on Yareena, and especially those earrings. That is nonsense for a good percentage of people and drawing the "you all of you just don't like powerful black people/women/gay people/insert...

    Vash

    Because having two episodes with the abtly named la vache was already bad enough. Why inflict more misery on the audience?

    Kes Returns - what episode would you have made?

    No offence, but I often have the feeling that you sometimes present your opinions on Kes as facts and then dismiss any opinion that doesn't match yours in a way that sometimes comes off as rather aggressive to me. Maybe the intent is not there and that's just how I interpret it, after all, it's...

    Kes Returns - what episode would you have made?

    I think it's true that Kes wasn't used effectively a lot of the time. Yet I think she had potential. I genuinely think that Warlord was a good episode. One of the best in the early seasons of Voyager. Cold Fire was also pretty good. Together those episodes could have pointed towards an...

    Kes Returns - what episode would you have made?

    I wouldn't have made a Kes return episode to begin with. She underwent some sort of ascension in her final episode and, in my opinion, that was all the conclusion the character needed. One of the problems with the premise of Voyager is that they couldn't very effectively pick up storylines from...

    The Scariest TNG Episode

    The actor did play the hell out of that dying scene. The possibilities of how Nagilium was planning on "observing the different ways of dying" (or something like that) are also pretty disturbing. Like...was he going to rapidly age a crewmember so that he could observe "death by old age"? Was he...

    Whatever happened to Kes?

    It basically ends up like the future in "Time Machine". The Ocampa already look like the Eloi and those that make it to the surface are going to become like them, while those down below become cannibalistic Morlocks, haha :lol:

    Whatever happened to Kes?

    I mean I like fanfiction. I write some myself (not Trek though, Trek feels to restrictive to me to write). But it is just that, fanfic. And it should never be considered when talking about official canon. And it has no authority whatsoever. Yeah it would have been kinda nice, eh? Prodigy...
  14. Orphalesion

    Whatever happened to Kes?

    I agree. I think her going back to the Ocampa homeworld and becoming the teacher of her people (in what form that may be) is both the most optimistic and most logical ending for Kes' story. And also the one that is most in character for her. But that's of course only speaking about the character...

    Enterprise-D: what did you want to see or see more of?

    I would have really liked to see the huge arboretum the ship supposedly had. And the mall area.

    The Scariest TNG Episode

    "Is it true that you only have a limited existence? You exist, then you don't exist. Your mind calls it death." That line in Silence has Lease has always been more frightening to me than the entire rest of the series. I'm pretty sure Silence has Lease is also the only "super powerful entity"...

    Is this a faithful prequel to TOS?

    Thanks for the further explanation. I still don't quite agree with this idea, especially when it comes to visuals. I myself am into deep lore in regards to several franchises. And for these frequent deep dives into the lore of many fictional worlds actually taught me not to be bothered by...

    Is this a faithful prequel to TOS?

    I will never understand this need to "fictionalize" fiction further. It's all already fiction, and it was never 100% internally consistent. So I don't see any point to declare any part of Trek to be "fiction based on somebody's log/diary/daydreams" or whatever.

    What did you think of the Cardassians and Bajorans when they first appeared?

    And they were shrinking it/making it look more delicate in the first palce why....? That's right because Terry Farrel was going to be the, as Marina Sirtis put it in regards to her own role, the "va-va-va-voom girl" of DS9 and had to be kept "pretty" as a result. Right? Plus TOS already...

    Voyager ending

    The easiest plot in my opinion owuld be: A multi-episode story arc that has the crew of the Voyager do some sneaky espionage look into the Borg's trans-warp corridors as a way to get to Earth. During that they find out that the Borg are planning an all-out assault on the Alpha Quadrant with...
