What Star Trek episodes or films have you been watching lately?

LIGHTS OF ZETAR.

I finally watched the 'enhanced' version. I haven't seen this one in years, and you know what? I actually liked it this time around. Definately creepy, a little slow. But I thought the possesion scenes, years in front of The Exorcist, were down right scary.

I had, for years, thought this to be one of TREK's lesser episodes; I am changing my opinion. And I really think the new enhanced effects, and better print (Bluray) really help with that cause.

The only thing I still think about (a hold over from my teens). Myrian, or whatever her name is, she wears one of those really short skirts. Anyone walking into sickbay, when she's on the bed, can easily see up her skirt. I guess, in the future, modesty isn't as important. But...oh well..

[Sector 7]

TAS: The Terratin Incident
TOS: Mudd's Women
VOY: Caretaker, Parallax, Time and Again, Phage, The Cloud, Eye of the Needle, Ex Post Facto... next up is Emanations as I am watching in chronological order. I am really enjoying Season One and plan to buy Season Two when finished.

^ I'm rewatching VOY now, one ep a day while i'm on the treadmill. Watched Dreadnaught (sp?) today and yesterday watched "Threshold" which wasn't quite as terrible as i'd remembered it.....until Paris started changing....and then it went downhill faster than a speeding bullet!

Last month I bought all of DS9 and watched the series from the beginning to the end. Unfortunately the Season 4 disc doesn't work. I live in China and they are bootlegs.

I have been watching Voyager online (through again Chinese portals). Most of the epsodes are quite decent actually. I think their finale is the best one of all the Trek series. I think Tim Russ is amazing as Tuvok, he does a better job than Leonard Nimoy.

I tried to watch Enterprise a bit, and there were some good episodes, but that series by and large in my opinion just sucked.

I'm still re-watching TNG. This morning I watched Sins of the Father, Allegiance, and Captain's Holiday.

Was the transition a bit of a shock to the system? What I mean is you go from one of the better seasons in all of Star Trek to one of the worst. I think if I did that, I had to wait a day or two, and I love TNG. I just freely admit that the drop in quality between DS9 Season 2 and TNG Season 1 is a bit massive.

 

[Pemmer Harge]

TNG Up the Long Ladder. Far too silly. What is it with Season 2? Some of the episodes are really good, but a lot of them are dreadful.

Just watched DS9 Return to Grace. Severely underrated episode. May actually be one othe show's best and definitely a high point for Dukat.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

I rewatched the last episodes of DS9's 7th season - the end of the Dominion War.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Just started watching Enterprise this evening, courtesy of Netflix. I think I saw about half of it when it was originally broadcast. Not my favorite Trek (but not my least, either), and I was surprised at how much of Broken Bow I remembered, so I'm not sure how much I'm going to enjoy this.

Just watched DS9 Return to Grace. Severely underrated episode. May actually be one othe show's best and definitely a high point for Dukat.

I agree, I love Return to Grace. It's also one of the few strong episodes for Kira in season 4. (Almost everything worthwhile for her that season is related to Dukat and Ziyal.)

Saw TNG 'High Ground' today. It's interesting to see them tackling terrorism back in season 3 (what was it, 1989?). Incidentally, there's another example of Trek writers setting fictional events way too close to their time (like Eugenics Wars). Listing examples of terrorist tactics proving successful, Data mentions 'the reunification of Ireland in 2004'. Should have set it at a later date!

I just rewatched all six of the original series films in order, starting with The Motion Picture and concluding with The Undiscovered Country. I also watched a DVD called "The Captain's Summit", a four-part discussion between Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Jonathan Frakes moderated by Whoopi Goldberg.

I'd forgotten how hilarious DeForest Kelley is. The man just rambles along through all six of the movies, dropping laughter-inducing quotes. It's not so much the lines themselves as the delivery: “Who would send a probe hundreds of light-years to talk to a whale?

I'd also forgotten how long the music sequences in the original movie were. I think I prepared supper during one of the sequences.

 

[Shatnertage]

VOY "Cold Fire." The part with Tuvok getting roasted by Kes was pretty shocking, but all in all I don't quite know what to make of it.

 

[DevilEyes]

TNG 'Vengence Factor' (OK) and 'The Defector' (as great as I remembered).

 

[Leroy Langley]

Two days ago, I watched Star Trek: First Contact. It was the first time since the first time, which was about 7 years ago, soooo.... I like how Picard shoots Borg with a holographic Tommy gun, then proceeds to hit it with said Tommy gun. And there are people who say Picard isn't bad ass. Tsk tsk tsk!

 

[DevilEyes]

Deja Q. It's not one of the best Q episodes, and neither it's one of the worst - but it is an example of a direction I'm not particularly fond of, of treating Q as just as a an annoying but funny (and maybe somewhat weirdly likable) prankster, which will continue with the Vash/Q stuff and lame episodes like Q-less, The Q and the Gray or Q2. The episode is also one of the many built on the overused "Humans are the awesomest beings in the universe" and "Humans teach an alien a lesson about humanity" premise which I find tiresome. I've never been a big fan of Q and the way he was used, except in Q Who, Tapestry and All Good Things. (I also like Death Wish, but that was for Quinn.)

Also, Corbin Bernsen as the other Q was a bit annoying.

 

[Pemmer Harge]

Two more I recently watched:

DS9 The Jem'Hadar - a good episode, but I wasn't quite as impressed as the last time I saw it. I think most of its weight ultimately comes from the destruction of the Odyssey, before that it's a little generic.

TNG Up the Long Ladder - just a silly idea. Bizarre to juxtapose such ridiculous Irish stereotypes with an Irish character, in O'Brien, played by an actual Irish actor.

 

[RandyS]

My latest TNG episodes are were season four's Future Imperfect, Final Mission, and The Loss.
