This is painfully obvious, yet still the execs don't get it...

A game! I've never set one up before, but here we go. Let's make Voyager episode titles in the style of Friends. Just in case you don't know... with the exception of the finale Friends episodes were titled "The One With..." or "The One Where..." and described what happened in the episode. The...

I warn you: I'm diving into the top of first world problems here. But it annoys me. I have two examples. TNG "Measure of a Man" and Battlestar "Pegasus". They show the normal episode, you watch it, THEN they say "We have an extended version" on Blu-ray. If I'd have known that, I'd have...

Something I picked up on on Reddit... and that's Garak was after bio mimetic gel for 'a friend'. But the gel can be used as explosives, which happened to come into play with the offing of the Romulan. The connection being that the gel was in fact for him to use. In all these years it never...

I stopped Discovery in season 3, so I don't recognise her... and at first I thought it was a parody. But the more I watched, the more legitimate the footage seemed. But surely there's someone not that toxic in Discovery? And if so, what's the context?

Now my DS9 rewatch has ended I have a DS9 hole in my life. Are there any really good post-DS9 books that you'd recommend? I do have a Stich in Time Audiobook to listen to. I think back in the day I read a book or two of the Avatar series but remember not getting on with it, I think in my...

These episodes are some of the worst of DS9. Statistical Probabilities firstly fetishes mental illness. It really plays to this TV stereotype of anyone with autism or similar is some savant, quirkl but excellent. I know these people do exist, that things like autism affect people in different...

I'm posting this now as I head into season six as I know there's lots of good stuff coming and my views my get more complicated on the best seasons. But as of the end of season five... I think season three is possibly the best. There's no real clangers I would say. Meridian isn't popular I know...

Of all the episodes in my rewatch I'm going to start a thread on this one? Why, yes I am. I think it was largely considered a mess in the day, and largely still is. But this one I felt a bit more compelled to right about as amongst it is some potentially good narrative here that they miss the...

I've watched TNG many many times over the years since 1987... and now older, wiser, more cynical I view everything a bit differently. I don't think season seven has ever been viewed with critical acclaim. But this is the first time I'm watching it and finding it a bit... crap. It seems to...

I saw a video once about how the Star Wars films made way more sense if you swapped all the episode titles around. Watching Duet this week (and still what a FANTASTIC episode) they talked about vengeance and it occurred to me that the episode could have been better titled The Vengeance Factor...

When I was younger I found it a fun novelty, particularly as a fan of Denise Crosby. But rewatching it now I thought what a wasted opportunity. Firstly, I do appreciate the foreshadowing in The Mind's Eye. TNG didn't often do arc stuff, so it's nice to see. But she meets Picard, Picard asks...

I know on an entertainment level it's just putting characters you know in different places... but as I got up to mid season 4 I just realised how silly it is in TNG. We had Geordi going form a low-ranking pilot... to being chief engineer. Worf can go from pottering around at the back of the...

A thought sprung to me on my umpteenth rewatch of TNG, and it's perhaps only as a (hopefully) wiser older man now I think about something differently. And I thought... is Troi and the use of her ethical? Think about it. She's reading foreign captains and what not, then reporting back to the...

I got the Blu-rays back when they first came out, and did watch them, but not in an optimal setup and probably a bit distracted. Now I have time, and a good TV and sound setup... I thought time to watch them and really watch them properly with new eyes. I love spotting little things...

I mean they have thrown the kitchen sink at it so far. So I keep thinking what on earth can they do that would top that? For pure fanwankery that I'd accept, Pulaski. Can't see it happening but I'd welcome it as to me she got most short shrift in TNG. But what are the sort of obvious wins from...

This is the sort of gin-based topic I would love to discuss and probably wouldn't have put it past myself to discuss before. But... controversial thought: Shades of Gray isn't that bad. Now, clip shows are reviled. So in terms of Trek's history it won't be remembered. But in the context of a...

I don't think there are any threads about this show at all here, so let me start one! Is anyone else a fan of the South Korean show Busted! on Netflix? I just finished the third and final season, and am feeling very sad. Particularly as I know of no other fans. For those that haven't seen it...

It's odd for me, as Enterprise isn't a Trek that I've committed to memory completely. Growing up with TNG, DS9 and VOY I committed them to memory and could probably recite a lot of the TNG script! But when Enterprise came my interest was waning. My writing about Star Trek was coming to an end...
