Family's one of my favorite episodes because it was necessary. I don't think it was very realistic for him to simply continue being a captain with no questions asked. If they'd made TBoBW a season finale two parter rather than having the second part as the first episode of the next season, they...

Without Picard it would've been a different show. The same thing applies to all Treks, I think, you can get rid of pretty much any character and the show will be the same show, but if you swap captains it'll be a reboot even if all the other characters remain.

I was offered a job building Egyptian tombs. Turned out to be a pyramid scheme.

Count me in as another Q hater. As much as I love TNG, Encounter at Farpoint is my least favorite Trek pilot episode by quite some margin, and the only reason for that is the appearance of Q. TOS doesn't really have one, and I've seen TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VGR, ENT, and PIC so far. I dislike...

That happened a few more times, in the season 1 episode "Grail" Aldous Gajic was looking for the Holy Grail. He was named for Mira Furlan's husband, Goran Gajic.

Removing Homefront. As a matter of principle, I dislike most episodes set on Earth. I'm more okay with stories set in an alternate universe or timeline, like Picard season 2, and I can live with ST IV: The Voyage Home because the comedy worked for me. But mostly I think they're a copout for...

Transparent aluminum does in fact exist, it's simply too expensive to manufacture commercially as yet. Some defense applications do exist. https://4dproducts.co.uk/transparent-aluminium-see-through-metal-is-now-a-reality/

Vanguard (prequel to Dreadnought)

True, but given how common the trope is, I wish we'd see it reversed more often.

Saving ENT Season 4: "Borderland". Mainly for the awesomeness that is Malik played by Alec Newman. He does "menacingly sexy" like nobody else can. DS9 Season 2: "Rivals" DS9 Season 4: "The Muse" VOY Season 1: "The Cloud" VOY Season 1: "Emanations" VOY Season 1: "Learning Curve" VOY Season 3...

Centrifuge Out in the Expanse, Enterprise runs into an anomaly that messes with everyone's sense of balance. With the sole exception of Phlox, everyone feels like the ship is spinning on its axis. T'Pol is fascinated by her first experience of motion sickness. Only a skeleton crew of the least...

Vacation!

Washers and dryers. A new apartment.

Equating beauty with goodness and ugliness with evil feels rather medieval at this point. It would be interesting to see a hideously ugly but nevertheless humane species pitted against a beautiful but cruel one, and to see the largely human crew deal with their biases.

Saving ENT Season 1: "Detained". We learn more about the Suliban. I'm late to this one again, all of my favorites have already been saved. DS9 Season 2: "Rivals" DS9 Season 2: "Playing God" DS9 Season 4: "The Muse" VOY Season 1: "The Cloud" VOY Season 1: "Emanations" VOY Season 1: "Learning...

PIC: Farewell The Next Generation

Yay! Got to go first, a first for me. Saving TAS Season 1: "Yesteryear". It's simply the best episode of TAS, hands down. It's also one of my favorite Spock episodes, and in my top five episodes featuring the TOS crew. TAS Season 1: "Beyond The Farthest Star" TAS Season 1: "One of Our Planets...

Saving ENT: "Demons". It's a worthy setup for Terra Prime, the real finale of ENT. For me, TATV is just a bonus episode, or maybe a malus one! VOY: "Revulsion" VOY: "Hunters" VOY: "Retrospect" VOY: "Vis à Vis" VOY: "Unforgettable" ENT: "Storm Front, Part I" ENT: "Storm Front, Part II" ENT...

Closed Circuit In the Expanse, NX-01 keeps going in circles. Something is keeping the ship in a warp loop, making it double back on itself. The engineers try every trick in the book, and some new ones, and nothing works. Finally they are forced to travel for two months at impulse to get away...
