What are your favorite 'Retread' or 'Rehash' episodes?

Was going to say that one. Not big on Voyager, but I think Good Shepherd was one of their best shows. The guest stars all did a good job. Still not as good as Lower Decks, though.

 

Omnipotent Q like characters showed up a lot on TOS. Roddenberry deciding to consolidate all of those type characters into one entity for TNG was a good idea.

 

I actually liked E2 better, though.

 

Ensigns of Command was an unusually good example of this kind of story. All the "flaws" listed are what make it better. The colonists were overwhelmingly opposed. Data managed to get a slim majority at practically the last moment. The whole ep was about how hard the task was.

Is it surprising that the Federation doesn't just round up free citizens by force?

 

Hah! Wasn't I just talking about vampire mermaids?

Doesn't look like a vampire so much as being adapted to its natural environment. There's very little variation in dentition in sea creatures that eat meat, just fangs and cutting teeth, for the most part.
