Maybe you should just watch the Doctor-intensive episodes…?

Fair enough. Robert Picardo does indeed make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Agreed, Cardinal. That episode, 'Emergence', is frequently conflated with the Ferengi episode of Enterprise as being hostile with the series continuity, but I find that it works quite well as a stable time loop with First Contact. It is also quite good in its own right, which covers a lot of sins.
I like Enterprise as well, but I'm hard pressed to come up with an argument as to why watching Voyager wouldn't be a waste of your time. I think it's only worthwhile for Trek completists, and only then if you have a touch of OCD.
I have to give it up for Tuvix, though.
One of the few episodes of Voyager that I like. I don't even like Scorpion, Year of Hell, or Timeless that much, since the reset button at the end of each of those kind of ruins them for me.
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary was amazingly good. There were a couple of puzzles that were fiendishly hard, though. That was the only flaw. It was also a lot like Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire, as I much preferred to just endlessly engage in space battles than play the game.
I thought it a nice piece of continuity, as well as a decent Author's Saving Throw.
The Nexus doesn't make any sense, and no amount of fanwanking can make it make sense. Better just to accept that fact and enjoy the parts of the movie that do work.
You know, this real-time updating is kind of handy with the TNG thread. It gets updated so rapidly in its first two-or-three days of being up, that it does increase rapid-response capability.
Ugh, Assignment Earth. Definitely in my top five least favorite TOS episodes. I am utterly repelled by such a transparent attempt to exploit the franchise.
I remembered the ego as being the synthesis of the id and superego, and the manifestation of the mind to the outside world. A quick trip to Wikipedia confirms that we're both correct.
Methinks the Bearded Master has had excellent luck with the guest stars. Bravo, sir, bravo! Why, I think I'll even like your comment!
I, for one, like First Contact. It's not without its flaws, but it's basically a solid thrill ride.
Zach was probably still blown away by Data's experiense with the rouge Borg.
That's if you can get James Cromwell.
Roddenberry apparently doesn't understand how Freudian psychology works. (That's not to say that it does in the real world, but I'm talking theoretically here.) If you transpose the words 'ego' and 'superego' in that post, it makes sense.
In the TNG pinball game, Borg Classic flew around in New Borg's ship. Go figure that one out.
I do like how the anonymous actor in the background steps on Spiner's enunciation of the word 'YES!' after they blow up the Duras ship.
Even to my awestruck child's brain, I knew in the depths of my soul that the Borg symbol never made any sense. Still, I irrationally like it.
