    Favorite episodes for each character

    Here’s my list: Sisko: Far Beyond the Stars (I am a human being, Dammit!") Odo: The Search, Part II. It is the crucible of Odo--a resolution to his question of who his people are, and the introduction of a new conflict--his guilt of returning home ("I am Home.") Jadzia: Rejoined (The Dax and...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

    The first impression--it is awesome! It felt relevant to the humanitarian crisis we face today, and our xenophobic instincts. While Picard is older, jaded, and more sentimental, he is still Jean-Luc. Hopes dashed turn men cynical. He is a dreamer...imaginatively. And, the universe disappoints...

    1998-99...

    I actually attended screenings, through Fandango, of the episodes in movie theaters. Datalore and Where No One Has Gone Before, The Measure of a Man, Q Who?, and The Best of Both Worlds all were screened. Including special features (there's a moving cartoon in the bridge of the Enterprise as...

    1998-99...

    I said television--not a fan of Voyager or Enterprise. I said trademarked or copyrighted in 1998-99. I own all the TNG Movies, Star Trek I and II, and the first three series. I even own all three Re-Boot movies. These were purchased from 2012-2019, on DVD and some digital copies. But, as far...

    1998-99...

    The last trademarked series from Star Trek I own is the seventh season of Deep Space Nine. AOL was huge, we had just gotten our first home computer with internet access, the world had never heard of streaming or Youtube. Michael Jordan won his sixth title, Bill Clinton avoided removal after...

    Is it just me, or do half of the TNG main characters lack any definite personality traits?

    No, I love Next Generation, but these are poorly-drawn characters. It was Picard and Data that grew the most. Picard is an idealist in the beginning of the show. He is intelligent, forceful, and with hope. When he is assimilated, the delved into his dream among the stars, and his pain at being...

    Star Trek: Nemesis--A Positive Review

    Yeah, I watched Nemesis last night and Baird's direction is phenomenal, outside of small elements, like streamers in the battles, but the production value is top-notch, for it's time. Like editing the death of the Romulan and Picard's close-up from one shot to another. He does this again in...

    Star Trek: Nemesis--A Positive Review

    The music always struck me as an homage to the first season's score. The opening of the film was enthralling in the theater, and the Prague Philharmonic version of "A New Ending" is on my playlist of Star Trek favorites. The Romulans have terrific scenes written for them, outside of "that...

    Lessons to be learned from the Kelvin Universe Films

    I believe the villians in this trilogy to be lacking. V'Ger was searching for purpose after completing its mission to learn all that it is capable of understanding. Khan was bent on revenge, but his cat-mouse game with Kirk and crew exposed his arrogance, his fatal flaw. Kruge was the most like...

    The Last Jedi - Actually Widely Hated?

    His fragility is from being drawn back to the light, his anger at Luke, more about Luke trying to kill him. He disappoints Snoke, playing out his internal conflict, the voice might as well be his own; Snoke is playing on his fears. How does that relate to Han? Snoke did that? Must've slept...

    Is Anyone Honestly Impressed By Troi's Overrated Ability?

    I found her to be a plot device. Worf: Captain an alien ship is approaching. Picard: On screen. Worf: They are hailing us. Troi: Captain, despite what is said, I sense hostile intent. Picard: Mr. Worf, raise shields. In her counseling sessions she seemed more like an empathetic friend...

    The Last Jedi - Actually Widely Hated?

    I worked twelve hours the day I saw this film. A friend from Grade School and I went to dinner, caught up as it had been 15 years since our last visit, and bought tickets to see a franchise that was formative for both of us. The first twenty minutes were terrible. The Hux/Hugs comment...

    Re-Boot the Re-Boots?

    A.) There are no plans to re-boot, at least not to the general public's knowledge, and I am not an insider. B.) The Nintendo has a re-set button. C.) As fans, would you like to see Captain Kirk, again, with a different actor and no references to a Kelvin Timeline. I didn't realize I caused...

    Sub Rosa... um... (and they say season 1 is littered with clunkers?!)

    How lonely, after Jack Crusher dies, are you? I'd rather an episode about Lwaxana as Cupid, setting up dates for the entire Bridge staff. Or Q steals Beverly's coffee maker and Jean-Luc gives an impassioned speech about humanity's need for personal property and the clarity of caffeine.

    Adding in your head

    I learned to at least count change in a cash register. 45 cents is 54 back. 35 is 65 back. It's rote memorization, like multiplication. 100, minus the total change, and you have made a dollar. At $7.01 you give them 2 dollars and 99 cents from a ten. Anything added to 7 decreases the dollar...

    "The Worf Effect" in VOY

    What about Janeway?

    What are you reading?

    "On Earth We are Briefly Gorgeous" by Ocean Vuong. I anticipated two books to arrive today, in the mail, and this was one of them. It is billed as a son's letter to his mother, a Vietnamese family in America and the mother was a child herself during the bloody war. The title was titillating and...

    What's Special About DS9?

    That's grit--your accident. You stayed committed to the process of raising your grades. Picard wants to be a man of history, and these are men of history. Curiosity, raw intelligence, perseverance, creativity, emotional pliability are all necessary. So, by the way, is income. Life happens to...
