Joe Menosky

I did not know he wrote the most recent episode, but I always did enjoy his work. Possibly that's why I liked the episode as much as I did.

In case anyone is like me and immediately thinks, "I know I like Menosky's work, but which episodes were those again?" Here are some highlights (simply according to me and not at all exhaustive). Turns out he has written or shares a writing credit for most of my favorite Voyager episodes and my all-time favorite TNG episode, too.

TNG:
  • Clues
  • First Contact
  • The Nth Degree
  • In Theory
  • Darmok
  • Conundrum
  • The Chase
DS9:
  • Time's Orphan
VOY:
  • Distant Origin
  • The Gift
  • The Year of Hell
  • Living Witness
  • Equinox
  • Timeless
  • Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy
  • Blink of an Eye
  • Muse
I'm excited!
That's pretty impressive. Notice Equinox is in there. Such a parallel for the Ripper aspect of the previous couple of Discovery episodes.
 
Clues is an underrated TNG episode and one of my favorites.

Mine too. It's not in the top tier, but it's always an enjoyable watch.

First Contact, Darmok, Timeless, Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy, and Muse are all-time classics. Clues, Conundrum, and Blink of an Eye are also really solid episodes. He had a good run. Hopefully he gets a chance to shine in DSC season 2.
 
I noticed that Joe Menosky wasn't listed in the opening credits for the last 2 episodes. I hope he hasn't left the writing staff, that would be a shame.
 
I didn't watch much VOY, but Equinox and Year of Hell were good.

Ironically, when seeing your user name during my time lurking here, I had always assumed that Vger was an abbreviated form of Voyager, and that VOY was probably your favorite series. :lol: woops.
 
By the way, I don't know why my posts are showing those "SIZE" tags on posts where I quote people. Maybe it has something to do with my browser.

I think it's more likely that he's only written a handful of episodes this season, as is probably the case with the other writers as well. We probably just got lucky getting a few Menosky episodes in a row.

I haven't checked so I could be wrong, but I don't think any of the writers have been in the opening credits for all (or most for that matter) episodes so far.

So far Joe has only one writing credit ("Lethe"), in other episodes he was listed as co-executive producer.

Nah...it's really "V'Ger" like the conscious all-powerful space ship from TMP.
