List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

ENT: Breaking the Ice, streamed on Netflix.

The comet's gravity seemed a little too strong, Reed and Mayweather should have been bouncing around like tennis balls on something that was only 82km in diameter.

Actually, they should have had trouble keeping their feet on the ground. The vapor tension of the ice alone would have pushed them up in "the air" like a couple of weather balloons.
 
You mean Nagilum? I think he was a member of Balok's race using an even less convincing puppet than the one seen in The Corbomite Maneuver.
 
DS9 - "Profit and Loss"

The love lines in this episode remind me of some Casablanca-like movie from the '40s. I kinda assume that was the writers' intention.

Indeed it was. According to Memory Alpha...

The original teleplay for this episode very closely paralleled the plot of the 1942 Academy Award-winning Michael Curtiz film Casablanca. In fact, it was originally called "Here's Lookin' at You...", a reference to a popular quote from the film. (AOL chat, 1997) The producers however, were forced to change some of the more obvious references to the film as well as the title when they were threatened with legal action.
 
DS9 - "The Jem'Hadar"

Nice, bbailey. I guess they didn't make it that subtle! Although I did pick up 'Casablanca-like' so I guess they accomplished the goal as far as someone like me is concerned.

Bad science on Star Trek? That's unpossible!

Really a pretty decent episode though. :techman:
 
TNG "Masks" from the S7 Blu ray.

Haven't seen it in years. Didn't think much of it when I first saw it. I'd be in my teens, I guess. The ship transformation into a jungle, or in another place, a temple with slabs of rock? Please. Thought Brent's acting was embarrassing back then, to be honest. But it's grown on me, and for some reason, now I'm older I dig the multi-personality strangeness he's doing. Not quite sure what that says about me! now :lol:

Riker coming in from the Observation Lounge, claiming it's turned into a swamp is laugh-out funny. The whole episode has a kind of TOS Season 3 feel, best watched at some late hour with a glass of something or other.

That was definitely their intention when Rom used a slightly modified version of Bogart's final speech in "Call To Arms".
 
I'll think of that next time I watch "Call to Arms".

I've always thought of 'characters' like Nagilum and Balok as Lovecraftian 'Great Old Ones'. Lots of different ways of dealing with us insignificant mortals in that lore.

Actually Balok was more like the Wizard of Oz, if you see what I mean.
