Wesley annoyed me the most as a kid. I think because his inclusion was supposed to appeal to kids, but what he ended up doing is fixing shit. Stuck in the holodeck? Get Wesley! (He knows more than the fucking engineers?) Need to get warp drive in a ship that can't have it? Get Wesley! I compare the Borg to the…

Yeah, I think Sirtis used to make jokes at conventions about her character. I did enjoy the moments where she, say, took the bridge officers exam and sent Geordie to his death, or when she was a Romulan. They eventually gave her some stuff, but she was like a human ship sensor: "I'm picking up _____ from them." And…

I'm not drunk at work, but pleasantly buzzed. I put rum in my soda in my thermos. Proud American.

Also, interesting callback to this in a later episode, when Riker is kidnapped and made to think he's suffered some disease and wakes up a decade in the future with a kid and a dead wife. And the way he realizes it is fake is because his dead wife was Minuet, who wasn't real. The implication being that, because his…

Yeah, "Big Goodbye" is the one with Joe from Reservoir Dogs, right? "I'M CYRUS REDBLOCK!!!" as he dissolves.

It is hard for me to imagine no money at all in the future. I could envision the idea of there being no "greed" or capitalism in the future, but how would anything at all get done? No rent, no costs for food etc., no anything? It is a nice idea, but I don't think it was ever spelled out in a way that made sense. …

I agree. That Q episode with the Borg was great. That's around when the show was starting to get good, right? (Too bad they completely fucked the Borg later on…I always say the Borg are Star Trek's Daleks - overused and eventually castrated enemies.) It gave a much more sinister undercurrent to the Q character.

HAH! I just watched that episode. "Rascals." It is a "cute" episode, but it is pretty stupid. We're supposed to believe the Ferengi capture the ship with like a dozen guys, and are then defeated by children with communicators and pretending to be Riker's son etc. Just shit. It is interesting to come across some…

GodDAMN you're all referencing episodes that I'd conveniently forgotten about but that are all really huge pieces of space shit. Outrageous Okona, Angel One….JeSUS. Even ones I liked when I was little, like Datalore, upon rewatching recently are not great. I just watched the finale for this season and it is the…

I completely agree with you. Davison was often pretty great, and his reaction to Adric's death was very good (and he did a good job of showing how it continued to haunt him thereafter). His acting in his last serial was some of the best Who acting ever.

"zany zone machines get sick with human diseases and humans get stuffed with robot genitalia" - this description sounds like it would be awesome.

Yes. Before I get my sweaty space virusAIDS, I just want to say

What really chaps my ass in the "Last Outpost" episode is the way they are revealed. The first part of the episode is somewhat promising - ooh, new enemy we haven't seen, a chase, talk and buildup to this enemy, cool ship, etc. Then we meet them. And they are annoying trollmonkeys who don't seem like they could…

Completely agree. Saw an interview with her recently and she's still HOT.

I liked K-9. A pretty obvious deus ex machina, but still charming. I was slightly moved when he "died" in the new series.

UGH
Three episodes that were worse than the first episode. "Code of Honor" is the worst piece of shit Star Trek ever produced, I think.

That should be "competing with is MUSIC far too much."

Pedant alert! Internet is capitalized.

Adric's death was moving, I remember being surprised when it happened. I thought that episode was good, and they sent him out about as good as they could. What moved me the most was Davison's Doctor's reaction and how it informed him from then on out. His last word as he died was "Adric," if I remember correctly.

I agree, Davison is pretty great and I believe was a huge source of inspiration for Tennant's doctor (which I believe was acknowledged in some special the two did together). Also, the first bit of Davison was pretty interestingly done (I think they brought in a sci-fi guy at the end of Tom's era who continued into…
