List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

TNG: Hide and Q, streamed on Netflix.

Riker is browbeaten by Picard into turning down an opportunity to become a kinder, gentler Gary Mitchell.
 
TOS "Wolf in the Fold" on H&I
Gota always love Henghist and his "Die, die, die, ...everybody die, He he he he! I kill you all!"
The one creepy bit that stands out for me is the weird piece of video during the hearing. When instead of just photographs of the knife. We are treated to pair of disembodied hands with black sleeves, holding the knife by both tips and slowly rotating it.
 
The Price - TNG

Best line:
"That's the first bad play I've seen you make. If you can bring happiness into Deanna's life, nothing would please me more. You know, you're really not such a bad sort, Ral, except you don't have any values, beyond the value of today's bid, that is. Deanna is just the woman to bring some meaning to your sorry existence, if you're smart enough to take it. I doubt that you are."
(Riker finishes his drink and leaves)
 
I can't imagine not having Trek in some form in my regular rotation. Been watching it for as long as I can remember. :techman:
Don't get me wrong, if I had more time I likely would.

But after watching, re-watching and re-re-watching TOS/TNG/DS9 through the 90's and 1/2 of the noughties (along with B5 and Buffy/Angel) I made a conscious decision to spend my time finding new things to watch/read.

I have been toying with the idea of watching TOS/TNG on Netflix on the train journeys to/from work, but I have been using this as my reading time and I would struggle finding more time to set aside at home to crack open the pages.

Given I have 20+ TV shows on my Sky/Netflix queues, which seem to grow quicker than I can watch, I don't want to miss out on quality entertainment just to re-watch Tapestry or Rocks & Shoals again, no matter how good I think they are.

Hugo - too many books/films/TV shows, so little time
 
Emanations, Voyager

Powerful episode, especially being an amateur scholar of the ancient Egyptian civilization, which is clearly used as an inspiration here. I'm shocked, however, by Janeways' words of encouragement to Kim, she basically reveals herself to be fanatically religious, completely out of character. Her claim that in the 24th century we don't know what happens to humans after they die is one of the worst moments of ST.
 
^ Well, Janeway's not the only one. Even Picard said something similar (though more wordy/eloquent) when Data asked him about death in "Where Silence Has Lease."

I watched The Last Outpost followed by The Battle. The Ferengi were just too comical in their mannerisms in those early appearances. :wtf:

I must have blocked that moment out subconsciously, also I guess Picard has a way of adding a philosophical twist that effectively conceals the said absurdity.

Watched 37s, Voyager this morning

Overall an enjoyable episode except for the fact that the key Sci Fi component of the story - why aliens kidnapped all those humans in 1937 is revealed to be "to enslave them 70,000 light years away" Literally any other explanation would have made more sense, even "to dress them up as clowns and twirl them around for amusement" makes more sense than them having a need for slavery at that level of development AND the fact that the humans were able to successfully wage a revolt against such a superior race is ridiculous. Basically the writers came up with a story and then were like "now how do we explain it?" and put a split second of a thought into it. Lazy writing.
 
^It happens again in "Northstar" That is, Humans abducted from earth during the 19th century are taken to a planet and used as slaves. They rise up and overthrow their oppressors, then treat them inhumanely.

I, for one, find it refreshing when the advanced, holier-than-thou humans of the 24th century admit that they don't know something, and they don't have all the answers.

TNG-Devil's Due. Picard takes it upon himself to disprove a sexy charlatan's claim on an entire world. Lightweight but entertaining.
 
TNG 1101010111001001010100101001, or whatever it's called.

Interesting concept. And some of the cello in the soundtrack kind of reminded me of TOS music.
