Hi, first time thread maker, wasn't sure how this works.
I'm rewatching various TNG eps, just for fun and to touch base with the ol' fav show. I didn't see where to post stuff like that. There are rewatch threads for the series in order, usually mainly one person's experience with it I think, also cool.
So pretty much, my thought was this could be a thread for anyone to post about an episode they just watched, maybe throw out some questions, and open to discussion. Plus, a place for me to put my impressions on rewatching various out of order eps years later.
But let me know anything I'm missing about how this stuff works here, thanks! First try. Also I assume from the rules the spoiler tags aren't used for the older shows, and we can post what happens?
I just watched TNG s5e17, The Outcast. Thought it was great! Really good smooth stuff, connected with Riker and Soren, thought it was like a mini movie. Just solid stuff, also liked the Troi and Worf stuff. And I like how Riker and Troi kissed, I'm just saying I don't see other friends doing that on the ship! I think there's something there folks!
It is funny that the "action" part of the episode, the brief shaky ship things and the anomaly thing they were dealing with, was so not what the episode was about. And those scenes were so by the book my brain almost didn't even notice they happened. I feel like it was 4 minutes total of the episode, which is fine, the episode works great as a character relationship one, and with the ol' sci-fi allegory for modern day topics.
I'll say one thing that stands out is the ending, which with its unhappy turn feels like the end of a Miami Vice episode. Which is not a bad thing, just feels a little unique for a Star Trek TNG ep ending, the way it was done, and I wonder if it would've been rated higher on imdb etc if it had a different ending. But it works, solid message and stuff.
Anyways, always a pleasure watching TNG. This one I watched because I remembered it the least, and I feel like I got more out of it as an older viewer. And now pretty much I'm thinking I'll watch say 26 episodes from throughout the series or something, a little refresher cruise. And feel free to post stuff like this you do too!
