Game The Most Disliked Cast Crossover Episode/Movie

[Oddish]

Life Line. Two Dr. Zimmerman's manage to get so obnoxious, they manage to even make Counselor Troi lose it.

VOY, Season 7: “Inside Man” (Troi)
ENT, Season 4: “Cold Station 12” (Arik Soong)
DIS, Season 3: "Unification III" (Spock)
PIC, Season 1: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" (Altan Inigo Soong)
PIC, Season 1: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part2" (Data, Altan Inigo Soong,Riker)

Unification III. Interesting to see the 32nd century state of the Vulcans/Romulans and SMG sold her reaction to seeing Spock again (even if it was Nimoy as opposed to ‘her’ Spock).

VOY, Season 7: “Inside Man” (Troi)
ENT, Season 4: “Cold Station 12” (Arik Soong)
PIC, Season 1: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" (Altan Inigo Soong)
PIC, Season 1: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 2" (Data, Altan Inigo Soong,Riker)

 

[Seven of Five]

Cold Station 12 was a tense episode involving Dr. Lucas, Phlox's old friend. Brent Spiner was good as Soong as well.

VOY, Season 7: “Inside Man” (Troi)
PIC, Season 1: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" (Altan Inigo Soong)
PIC, Season 1: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 2" (Data, Altan Inigo Soong,Riker)

Bad choices left.

Saving "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 2" only because of the final scene between Picard and Data. I cried. Hard.

Well, I'm going to save VOY: "Inside Man" as I found it mildly amusing, and Troi is one of my favourite Trek characters. It's certainly not an amazing episode, but it beats the remaining episode for me.

So, the "winner" is PIC: "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1"!

 

[Oddish]

Saving "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 2" only because of the final scene between Picard and Data. I cried. Hard.

No kidding.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I thought These Are The Voyages might have taken the Rasberry again. The worst thing about the Picard finale is (aside from the above mentioned Data/Picard scene) that I can remember hardly anything about it at all. To my memory it’s a load of talking around an altar in a nice garden.

 

[Sakonna]

I have been trying so hard to see what everyone else sees in that Picard/Data goodbye scene, and on my last rewatch I think I started to, just a little bit. I felt some emotion, as opposed to the nothing I have felt previously.

I just couldn't get over the logic of it before. We have this one synthetic body that any consciousness can go into. Do we use it on the elderly man dying of natural causes to give him another 2 or 3 years, or do we use it on this completely unique and theoretically immortal being who died at age 41, then spent 20 years stuck in a seemingly nightmarish simulation, unable to interact with anyone or do anything with his incredible potential?

And the body ages! Brent Spiner could have played easily played Data again going forward, without effects being needed!

I thought we were building towards a Data resurrection the whole time, so a nonsensical second death was unsatisfying to me.

Picard in the synthetic body was such a stupid, cheap, hacky device anyway, one they are uninterested in actually doing anything with. Just have the synths cure his disease with their superior knowledge! There was no need to go this full death-and-immediate-resurrection route.

But anyway... after that rant... I did start to like it a little more this last time, if I think more abstractly about Data's existence in that netherworld.

(I'll have the wrap-up post here later today, and next game will be posted Monday or Tuesday)

 

[Oddish]

I think that Data wanted to experience the end of life, a universal human experience, and asked them to let him go. He could have easily waited until they built another golem for him.

Three Trek scenes make me cry just about every time.
* Old Jake dying in Sisko's arms in "The Visitor"
* Janeway saying her goodbyes to Tuvok in "Year of Hell"
* That one.

I cried when Tuvok 'danced' for Neelix.

 

[Seven of Five]

Ironically, Neelix had one of the better endings for the characters on VOY.

 

[Oddish]

Until recently, only two characters had endings at all.
NEELIX: Stayed with his own people
JANEWAY: Made admiral.

Nu Trek adds three more:

Spoiler

Seven is a Fenris Ranger and joins up with Picard's motley crew ("Picard")
Paris remains in Starfleet and visits the Cerritos at some point ("Lower Decks")
Chakotay makes captain and is assigned to the highly experimental USS Protostar ("Prodigy")

The fates of Tuvok, B'Elanna, Harry, and the EMH remain unknown.

Another one that makes me cry every time... the ending of "The Offspring".

Yay! Ferengi!

 

[at Quark's]

I like Ferengi episodes!

Well, not all of them. But I suppose you'll find out in the upcoming round.

 

[Oddish]

When the Ferengi are good, they can be very good... but when they are bad they are horrid.

 

[Sakonna]

Oh, and the 2020 winner of this game was "These Are The Voyages...", forgot to post that before.

"Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1" was 2nd place then.
