Simple rules: Somebody describes an episode or movie in the form of a limerick. Everybody else guesses the episode title. Because I assume more people will be interested in guessing than in writing, no need for a "chain" like in the other Name That Episode threads. Answering doesn't require you...

I started this rewatch a few years ago, but picked up the pace inspired by tomalak301's thread. However, this thread will be full of spoilers (not just for the episodes being recapped, but for basically the entire rest of the series as well), so it's intended for people who either (a) have seen...

Hello! Many of you don't know me, because I only show up a couple of times a year and I mostly hang out at Wordforge now, but those folks who are still around from the early 2000s may enjoy this. Recently, I booted up my oooooooold eMac in target mode to see what was on the hard drive. I found...

One of those Fridge Logic moments ... somehow I managed to watch TNG dozens of times without noticing this. In "The Survivors," after Kevin Uxbridge admits to wiping out 50 billion Husnock with a single thought, Picard says: "We're not qualified to be your judges. We have no law to fit your...

... epiodes, that is. Which one makes you reach for the "skip" button faster? Personally, as much-maligned as the DS9 Ferengi episodes are, I usually find the Klingon episodes even more tiresome and skippable.

What single Star Trek moments have become most embedded in pop culture, to the point where even somebody who's never seen the original source has likely encountered it dozens of times? I'm not talking about memes where the content has relatively little to do with the original context (like...

While rewatching "Emissary" for dub's "Superthread," I started thinking about how much more traumatic it would have been for Sisko if, instead of her already being dead when he arrived at their quarters, he'd been forced to abandon her in order to save Jake. It's pretty clear that as far as...

Do you think Starfleet ships (or stations, for that matter) observe weekends? Days of the week rarely merit mention at all, except for the NX-01 having movie night on Tuesdays. "Chain of Command" (TNG) shows the 1701-D having only three shifts (though I don't think it's ever explicitly...

Tonight is the 10th anniversary of the final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Who's got a favorite Buffy moment? Or two, or three, or ten?

Was the Sisko/Picard scene in "Emissary" intended to be more than just a reflection of how the Sisko character might react in such a situation? Was the obvious hostility intended to place emotional distance between the two shows in the franchise ... explicitly giving them more separate...

Inspired by the "Old-Timers" thread: A few years ago I managed to hook up the hard drive from my old, dead eMac and recover a bunch of files ... including a folder full of random stuff I'd saved from TrekBBS in, mostly, 2003 and 2004. First up, and no, I was not the person who made these...

Rewatching "Descent, Part II." I have no problem with Crusher being left in command of the ship; she's perfectly capable, and besides, I always liked her character and it's good to see her get a moment in the sun. But they couldn't have left her with even one security officer to run the...

I'd been watching Voyager seasons 5 and 6 on Netflix and just about gave up on the show. Stopped watching, tried a little Babylon 5, then pulled up the last four seasons of Buffy for yet another rewatch. Voyager had turned into a dull, barely distinguishable run of nothing episodes...

I'm watching "The Voyager Conspiracy" right now -- the scene where Seven is in Astrometrics talking to the computer and analyzing old sensor data. In the last few years of 24th-century Trek, did Majel Barrett's voice change significantly? The TNG computer always sounded very smooth, but does...

For those unfamiliar with the Bechdel Test, the name comes from this "Dykes to Watch Out For" strip, in which a character says that she only watches movies that meet three criteria: 1. It includes at least two women ... 2. Who have at least one conversation ... 3. About something besides a man...

Which of Trek's various close friendships -- the ones that didn't start with or lead to romantic involvement at any point, so leaving off Picard/Crusher, Riker/Troi and Kira/Odo -- were the best executed or the most appealing? The odd-couple trio of Kirk, Spock and McCoy? The...

I get that the Vulcans in Enterprise were suppose to be not quite as enlightened as they claimed, and certainly a less open and accepting people than they later became. But, in the 24th century, how is Captain Solok's attitude in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" even remotely acceptable? Heck...

I just got all the way through DS9, having missed it in first run and never having watched past Season 3 until this year, and ... Damn, that's some good television! Every Trek series has had its turkeys, and some have had episodes that even the producers will call a "royal, steaming stinker."...

When a crewmember's name, say, or pieces of biographical detail appear on a computer monitor, do you consider that to be canonical information, or write it off as a piece of scenery that was put in place before DVDs became commonplace and was never intended to be freeze-framed and examined up...

When Janeway and Chakotay are left behind and Tuvok become acting captain in "Resolutions" (good episode, by the way, the painful "Angry Warrior" speech notwithstanding), who is Tuvok's first officer? I can't imagine that someone of Tuvok's disposition would take command on what appeared likely...
