That feeling when someone makes a really good point and makes me wonder if S3 was not as good as I thought it was.

Yeah great suggestion, Wrath of Khan is an excellent entry point.
The enterprise being an underdog the entire time is a great showcase for the best of trek: the crew and the problem solving 👌
Wow, Devils Due is like the second episode I watched (first was Silicon Avatar) and I remember enjoying the ending where Picard mimics all her tricks before telling her to fuck off.
In hindsight easily a notgreat episode, but I remember it fondly.
That was an interesting read.
I wish someone would’ve asked her about Remember Me, one of my favorite episodes and one of the few Dr Crusher episodes.
a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half
I greatly enjoyed this season (no really, the good ones are so good), but I must agree here about the nose dive.
That documentary episode is probably my least favorite Star Trek episode of all time.
And that finale? Too much unwelcome Mass Effect 3 energy in this ending for me to enjoy.
Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!
Absolutely my least favorite treknobabble of all time.
When we fix the irregular verb sing we will create a new heteronym between singed-as-past-of-sing and singed-as-past-of-singe 🫠
I hit him with 5 thermites and 5 of the electro throwables. Good night sweet miniboss
I just started Lies of P so I nominate the Mad Clown Puppet on that burning street before the opera house.
How does three sets of DNA in her - Gorn, Human and Illyrian - translate to having all the abilities of all races that have faced evil?
That bit right there is like a glob of glue along the seam where this Beholder plot was glued to the gorn cliffhanger.
Is any of this Beholder stuff foreshadowed before Batel fights Gamble the first time? I try to be a careful watcher, but it came outta left field for me.
Wish they would have leaned harder into reimagining Inner Light and less into boring chosen-one-stuff.
Wow, I guess this is like UK schoolhouse rock? Not bad

Record a record? Convict a convict? What an annoying concept.

At least irregular verbs are drifting away, that’s a pleasant surprise.

B5 gang, you're my only hope.
why's it so hard 😭
I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.
One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.
Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.
The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.
Some of my favorite examples:
- The title of chapter 1
- Severian first finding his dog.
- Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
- The ending of book 1
- The ending of book 2
Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?

The writers: I have an idea…
The fans: What do you think this is? HAMLET? GONE WITH THE WIND? RUGGLES OF RED GAP? It's a goddamn B picture! Big men in tights! You know the drill
