that Star Trek fan episode is unnerving to watch - it's serious, I guess, but the acting and the way the audio is mixed makes me think they're going to break into MST3K parody at any second

Episode 2: Almost competent, with a familiar Trek formula except instead of the technobabble deus ex machina, it's just a babble deus ex machina, which was incredibly anticlimactic (watching Hoshi grunt at the viewscreen and then things just work out was boring).
Mouthfeel: undifferentiated and bland.

Troi’s version of the Riker beard effect is, she gets better when she can’t be bothered to do the accent anymore.
Troi is great in the books. And even Lxwanna works in DS9. From the interviews, you get the sense Sirtis would have been much better off if she’d just played her as herself.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 11 January 2023 20:56 (one year ago) link
Or if she’d been trusted to do so.
Troi was a terribly-written character, she didn’t have a lot to work with

Basically any the female character on TNG wasn't well-served by the writing, maybe Pulaski excepted (though I haven't watched season 2 in ages).
― Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Thursday, 12 January 2023 01:03 (one year ago) link
Sirtis definitely got frustrated with how her character was treated. She described a lovely scene where she had a conversation with Scotty in "Relics" which got cut - I imagine that's not the only time something like that happened.

Eposode 3: I'm starting to cotton onto how Enterprise is Star Trek: This Is Why We Have Rules, but can they do it in a less insultingly stupid way?

short answer is no

Strange New Worlds is kind of the anti-Enterprise show in that it doesn’t take the characters for granted and Enterprise just has these cut-outs it repeatedly slams against the weak plots

Was STNG Enterprise the only ship that has a psychologist as a bridge officer? Eventually Troi just wears a regular uniform and it's somehow even sexier

DS9 eventually has one, although technically that's a station.

I don't could DS9 as a ship and I never will. That's why Ds( missed the bite - who can care about a floating metal crab with visitors? THen they were like "OH by the way now Sisko became Jesus" - I knwo I'll take a lot of flack for this as ds9 has many devotees but I'm ready

Rewatching season two of TNG again. Pulaski is horrible. She doesn’t like using the transporter and insists on using a shuttlecraft. REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE?? Just finished the Wesley-crushes-on-a-shapeshifter episode and the Hotel Royale episode, good fun! I just love when Wesley’s crush morphs into a big alien gorilla. The “actors in goofy alien costumes” look is one of the best parts of the show, which is why I enjoyed “Lonely Among Us” (the Anticans and the Selay) and “Too Short a Season” (the old admiral gets younger and younger) better than most.

THen they were like "OH by the way now Sisko became Jesus"DS9 - floating space can next to a planet, Sisko Jesus, wormhole adjacent for adventures. Bab5 - floating space can next to a planet, Sheridan Jesus, jumpgate wormhole adjacent for adventures.

OK I kinda like ds9 but I like controversy too
I'd like to see a DS9 Red Dwarf crossover. The ships goes into a time warp and ends up at ds9 throwin it back with shiny Quark

"you seem wise for a woman" says the annoying but also horny greek god to the lady officer* who you can barely see thru the wildly vaselined lens**

ppl whose decisions have been really very iffy so far in this story: kirk, spock, bones, scotty, chekov

Watched episode 4 (where Trip gets pregnant), which is actually kind of amusing in a lowered expectations kind of way (and is maybe only half as offensive as the Quark gender swap episode).

I was watching an old "Outer Limits" the other night with Sally Kellerman, and was reminded how striking she was. I remember thinking the same when I saw "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Not sure why they dropped her character, of whom Troy was, I suppose, a reiteration.
