My brief experience with night reign

New Star Trek movie you say?

Is O’Brien is faking transporter mishaps so he can sacrifice them to the void and keep the writhing eldritch horrors from swallowing the galaxy? I want to say yes.

we wanted to send a valentine to the franchise, and I still stand by the concept of the episode, which is it’s actually an episode of Next Generation where they’re looking back at Enterprise on the holodeck, which I think is a cool idea

That’s cool sure.

But on the other side: Reddit betrayed the social contract and deserves to rot in consequence.

One droplet of lost engagement becomes an ocean; just stop showing up 🤷‍♀️

ENT be divisive like that. Personally I rank S3 as the best of ENT and first 2 seasons is them trying to “just do what worked before” but not really succeeding.

I think what I dislike the most about early ENT (besides decontamination) is how they seemed to just throw away all the guest stars. Quantum leap costar especially was a travesty of wasted potential.

I love that episode, it has Archer’s most boneheaded command decision of all time.

Top 10 TNG episode for me and has one of the best “oh shit we really doin sci-fi” moments in TNG:

CRUSHER: Here's a question you shouldn't be able to answer. What is the nature of the universe?   COMPUTER: The universe is a spheroid region seven hundred and five metres in diameter.

I always wonder how the guy playing Travis felt about the writers creating an alien that stereotypes all human beings as white.

I mean, they could have at least explored how the character Travis felt about it. Real missed opportunity.

I tried to play Into The Breach after Netflix published it on iOS but they required me to have a Netflix account and sign in 🤢🤮

They only wanted to publish games to widen their user acquisition channel so this unfortunate outcome isn’t too surprising. Feel bad for the devs and artists.

For most of Star Trek’s history, the Prime timeline holds together no matter what happens to it.

I respectfully disagree.

James Kirk of the united earth space probe agency or whatevs sends his regards to the united federation of planets 🙃

Later in Disco we see… many anachronisms, which makes it hard to write of earlier inconsistencies as just errata.

My own conclusion is that star trek is like a jigsaw puzzle both with some pieces missing and some pieces from other puzzles entirely.

Edit: as a counter point, I would say that statement is true of other (smaller) franchises, like planet of the apes.

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

 

The movie’s still great, but the book was really that amazing.

 

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

 
 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

 

I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

 

I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
