...of amusement is the incidental music in TNG's attempted comedy episodes and how they're no more-or-less corny than in any later series. If the joke itself can't work, the music's not going to help. Not to mention, comedy is still subjective at its core and finding the key that unlocks the...

I think perhaps you missed the part where their 'Vulcaness'(?) was completely based on Spock's perception of his fellow Vulcans, especially after his experience of being considered less-than and being treated abysmally, due to his half-human DNA. At this point in his life his idea of being...

...and had more situational comedy, and explored what it means for Vulcans to control their emotions. But instead they just made Vulcans into the joke. The scene where they first transform into Vulcans and they fall to the ground, totally overacting that scene, crawling on all fours shouting...

...apartment. Also Patton Oswald was there but didn't get anything interesting to do. The music constantly played fair laughs. But none of the jokes were funny. And that is completely ignoring the weirdly racist undertones of the premise (because frankly the episode ignores it too). Overall...

Seriously, they’ve no idea how to craft a joke.

...of SNW where I found myself laughing heartily more than once. I don't remember anything like this ever happening to me on TNG. Sure, some jokes and situations made me chuckle, but when TNG tried to make "pure" comedic episodes, the result were (at least for me) sometimes borderline cringe. I...

...like chumps while Riker goes crazy. If you were a fan of S.C.E./Corps of Engineers, you get one chapter of them which largely seems to be a joke about Tev's obnoxious pedantry. If you were a fan of DTI, you get a returning appearance by a character who ought not to have actually made one. If...

...disposable comedy. I was really hoping for a bit more here, however. I think it would have been possible to balance the romantic drama and "jokes" with a deeper exploration of Vulcan identity which didn't Flanderize them to such an absurd degree. I'm left decidedly "meh" here. It was...

...It makes more sense and also is much funnier if you change the hair in the same cut that they change the outfits, and then you get the joke that a quick makeover to Vulcan up their presentation is the first thing these transformed assholes had to do. But on the whole, such a fun episode, in...

I file this one under "Excuse Plot." None of it makes any sense scientifically about why the serum makes people act like extreme Vulcan stereotypes except for La'an who is stereotypically Romulan. But it's just an excuse for the joke and acting ridiculous for an hour. "Just go with it."

Well that's been happening since Star Trek 09. The biggest con job ever.

It was. Poor Gina Yashere. What a mean practical joke. Call her to the "set" and pretend you making more Star Trek!

It might blow...* *TNG and SF DEBRIS joke.

...of the Imperial rulers). There just weren't that many, compared with the number of male rulers. Um, what? Okay, I could take this as an in-joke. After all, two of the I, Claudius actors (Sian Phillips and Patrick Stewart) were in the David Lynch Dune movie. Sian Phillips made an excellent...

I agree completely. And there doesn't seem to be anything we as Americans can do to stop our government from supporting this kind of behavior. What's going on in Gaza is straight up genocide.

...if a new showrunner took over the Simpsons and said "we hear the fans, you liked that the Simpsons was funny and satirical, we're going back to those roots", and then released various episodes in which Homer repeatedly says "my life is funny and satirical" but without any real jokes to back...

She learned English by watching Father Ted

That certainly wasn't onscreen. In the novels, it's suggested Laris did undercover work in Ireland during her Tal Shiar days, though that is also implied to be a joke.

Denying overwhelming evidence seems like a form of mental illness to me and much of it is apparently due to religious fervour - whether actual or adjacent. Some people apparently want to be martyrs to useless causes, In any case, it's not science. In a couple of hundred years time, we might...
