List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

"The Perfect Mate": Perfectly... boring. How many times did they hire Max Brodenchik to play a Ferengi? It seems that every time there's two of three Ferengi in the show, he's one of them!

Only those 2 times I believe. But he was also a Trill ensign in Insurrection but you can only see that in deleted scenes.
 
TNG - Justice.

Oh why oh why oh why... Just... why... By now the cast clearly has a rapport as well as knowing the ins and outs of their roles. As a reward they're subjected with... such (ahem, can't say it here) so-called "scripts" that are just so (bzzt, can't say it here) on every last conceivable level. You know it won't be good when they say "No rules we know of, looks like a great place for kids... oh they all fornicate at the drop of a hat. Any hat..." Then they get down to the planet and even shows like "Three's Company" would blush in embarrassment over some of that dialogue. The cavalier handling of the Prime Directive at the end managed to be even more clunky than the planet of the blonde wigs boinking... TNG's storylines would soon improve, but this one is such barrel scrapings it's a phenomenon in of itself that the show didn't get canceled by this point.

And Wesley didn't even get the most cringey material, and who wouldn't have trouble trying to recite clunky laughfests such as "I'm with Starfleet. We don't lie."

0/10

Check that: 1/10 -- See, people jogging around a sewage treatment plant and there's clearly water on all the tiles yet none of the joggers slips and breaks x number of bones... that's a phenomenon too.

Maybe 1.25/10 - At least the episode wasn't ageist. There's at least one 50-something gray-haired Edo jogging around, or they ran out of blonde wigs and couldn't afford blonde #53 hair dye for a mop. Maybe all the other icky old Edo slipped on the wet tiles when they were in an off-limits zone that was being mediated, which made the mediators' lives easier upon hearing chorus after chorus of "I've fallen and I can't get up!"...

Maybe 1.5/10 - the episode is sorta trying to show an idyllic place where nobody commits a crime and any crime has one penalty - enough to scare anyone preemptively - but it's all so superficial and handled poorly. Then they do the impossible and outdo all that by showing something so insignificant to demonstrate the binary nature of the law that any attempt to induce a positive audience reaction is only met with laughter that's no less unintentional.
 
I always thought this was a rather strong early outing. The thing I liked about early-TNG was that it felt like a bridge between what comes later and TOS.

I like that POV!

It does have some very strong moments, that's for sure. It's off-kilter, even bonkers at times (I'd have thought Selayans were a bit ssssssstringy), but never fails to entertain. But Patrick Stewart really sells it when the energy critter inside him explains the story to the crew. That was pretty dang good - both acting and underlying concept, and even the handling of how the two didn't merge in the transporter was deftly handled.
 
Sacred Ground - For an episode about taking a leap of faith, there was too much scienc-y stuff at the end. Kind of undermined the episode a little.

Future's End - The birth of my favorite Janeway look (The Pony Tail) and the Doctor's Mobile Emitter. I love this episode so much, and it's weird seeing Sarah Silverman in a nice role before I saw her disgusting show in the early 2000s. Rain Robinson really is one of Trek's most underrated characters, and yes Tuvok is a freakasaurous.
 
Warlord - I think this episode Proved Jennifer Lien was a great actor for this series. Loved her scenery chewing scenes, as well as the final scene with her and Tuvok.
 
"Imaginary Friend": Quite watchable if you fast-forward the mushy parts, which makes it the shortest episode of the franchise.:D
 
"The Next Phase.": Ok, as long as you don't think of it at all or you could ask questions like, "Why don't they go through the floor?" or "What air are they breathing?"...

...

"Relics": One would think that Scotty would be some kind of a legend and that people would crowd him to get all kinds of details... I mean he walks through ten-forward without people even noticing him!! When you compare Sisko et al.'s reverence in "Trials and...". I think they overdid the "fish out of water" thing!... Other than that it was an enjoyable episode.
...
"Schisms": Data's poetry was the best part of that episode.
 
DS9 - Civil Defense

An otherwise mediocre episode that is elevated massively by Gul Dukat / Mark Alaimo. Just the fact that there are these super-annoying, smarmy, condescending pre-recorded messages every 2 minutes to the "Bajoran Workers" that you can imagine Dukat took very seriously and recorded with great earnest, is alone worth the price of admission.
 
"The Apple" - Star Trek

I hate TOS. I put on "The Apple" as some background noise to take a nap to. Three minutes later? I'm fully awake, sitting up watching it. :lol:

You have to put on 2001: A Space Odyssey if you want to fall asleep. :angel:

Ducks and runs!!!!!
 
DS9-Broken Link. Odo loses his changling powers as punishment for killing a changling and a "god" is punished by becoming mortal. There are some powerful moments in this episode, such as the following scene, which is staged after a famous painting.
