Trek's lowest moment

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ The qualifications to be Vice President are the same as those of President, aren't they?

In any case, my point stands. A first officer could be called upon to take command at any time, for any reason, and for any length of time. Thus it is logically impossible that the qualifications to BE a first officer would be any less than those to be a permanent commanding officer. Because the former can become the latter on short notice.

Yup.

 

[Drone]

Then why weren't they given command of their own a ship, instead of being assign as a first officer?

Because there are more captains and first officers around at any given time, than there are ships available?

Deep Space Nine, forcing another unnecessary relationship for Worf with Dax, a character I thought didn't need a man and could stand on her own right. The lowest moment was the episode "You Are Cordially Invited" where they tied the knot, and all of the characters on the show are doing a lot of stupid things to be Klingon. Its just as horrible when the crew were disguised as Klingons in that crapfest called "Apocalypse Rising". Horrible through the very end. Bleh!

so many low points (alongside so many highs), but I think the absolute lowest character moment was Harry Kim being the only crewman in Starfleet History to be thrown in the brig for sex with an alien. (You don't mess with what's Janeway's!)

Hey there. That episode had the very gorgeous Mussetta Vander as the alien. She was so bloody hot.

When they slowly killed off Data in the Star Trek TNG movies.

 

[USS Firefly]

The tragic death of the Uss Enterprise.

 

[eyeresist]

The tragic death of the Uss Enterprise.

Which one?

 

[meow point1]

For me, the lowest point has got to be the TNG episode "Genesis".

Aside from some of the Remastered effects, the lowest moment in TOS is probably when Melvin Belli is defeated, by Kirk convincing the kids that he is ugly and therefore evil, or was that the other way around? Kirk just knows ahead of time that MB's true nature is ugly/evil, and points out to the kids that this is about to become visible... then it does! At this moment, it's actually stopped being Star Trek in any meaningful form. It's not even science fiction. It's a magical kids' fantasy set on a spaceship, with the wrong priorities.

You mean it's Star Trek.

It would have been more fitting as an episode of Lost in Space.

Edit: Whoa, zombie thread... I'm outta here before it eats my brains. BRAAAAAIIIIINS!

[Nerys Myk]

You mean it's Star Trek.

Yeah. It's one of those "love triumphs over hate" type Trek endings. Not all that different than the ending of "Day of the Dove". Kirk uses images the kids' parents dying to snap them back to reality.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Smidgen over a year, think we can leave it open.

 

[UnknownSample]

You mean it's Star Trek.

No, I absolutely, totally, and completely do not. You must like that sort of thing, since you're here, and consider Trek to be that.

Trek is a lot of things.

 

[USS Firefly]

Which one?

The D of course

The episode where Trip gets raped and impregnated but they play it off as a humourous joke always stands out to me. I'm not an SJW or anything, but that seemed really really fucked up from every angle and I can't believe no one in the production pointed it out.

 

[1001001]

What are you talking about?

Trip wasn't raped. It was a consensual activity, and the alien stated she did not know she could impregnate a human. There was no reason not to believe her.
