"Sir, I protest. I am not a merry man!"Those involving Data’s evil twin are also good. And the various costume drama ones taking place in the holodeck are fantastic fun
That was fucking awful and wonderful at the same time.

they had to make some hasty changes to the season one finale when they found out they wouldn't be getting renewed.
it's not perfect but I think it works as an ending. a bleak, horrible, "war is hell" ending message
all of your friends are dead. war is ultimately a futile waste of life. attempts to end it and make a better peace will be sabotaged by powerful interests with their narrow self interest. there will be no happy ending to the stories started in ep 1, and there was never a chance there would be.
The Inner Light. from season 5. one of the greatest individual pieces of sci-fi of any series ever.

Finished Picard.
Started off promising enough, but in the end poor characters, dodgy acting and a wonky story left me a little underwhelmed.

Very much enjoyed this piece referencing one of my favourite episodes of Star Trek. I lost all respect for Worf when he crossed that picket line

So i asked, a couple of pages back, for recommendations of a few of the best TNG episodes and a few people were kind enough to chip in with suggestions, all of which I enjoyed watching (thanks).
Well goddamn if I haven’t got myself hooked back into TNG after maybe 20 years of not having watched it! I’ve been amazed by how well it’s aged and how it doesn’t seem half as dated as I had remembered it, back when I first left it behind and switched my affections to Voyager. I’ve been working my way thru series 4&5 mostly, with a few choice series 3 episodes too.
Seems like the writers had a lot of latitude on TNG. Last night was the classic when the Alien turns to Riker in the shuttlecraft and says to Riker “Commander, tell me about your sexual organs”…!! And I also have Lt Cmdr Data’s completely deadpan delivery of “she kissed me passionately in the torpedo bay” stuck in my head!!
Overall I’ve been reminded why I enjoyed TNG so much on first viewing back in my early twenties. A very pleasant trip down memory lane

I'm impressed at how they engage in utterly rampant fanboy-ism, while still actually having a plot to follow. Normally something that you need to watch twice just to pick up all the fleeting references wears thin after a while, but the show just gets stronger IMO. Though to be fair, I'm quite a fan of Archer which takes self-referential gags to a whole new level.

A random thought popped into my head last night - do they ever mention in any of the ST series what they do with the bodily waste generated onboard by humans and presumably any alien species onboard? I don't remember it being mentioned in any of the episodes I've watched.

I have a cheese grater in the dishwasher.
It’s recycled in Enterprise.
Presumably it's recycled in a reverse replicator.

Save them stocking up on toilet roll when they visit the shops I suppose.

I love Star Trek. Started off watching the original series on Netflix and am now on the Next Generation and loving it (though I did used to watch the original series on BBC 2 years ago). I'm guessing Deep Space Nine comes after TNG?

During. Think that the first season was up and running during the last TNG season...
Yeah DS9, followed by Voyager. There's a bit of overlap with TNG > DS9 > Voy so you do get a few crew cameos in each series.

Yes it does. Well, it actually started during the run of TNG and ran concurrently. You’ll notice when.

All excess waste matter is thrown into (IIRC) a 'replimat' and used as base materials for the replicators. It was actually brought up directly for some reason in the last season of Discovery. The silly part about this scene is that it's presumably standard practice on any ship that uses replicators so the green ladys response is kind of odd. Maybe 'Lower Decks' could have done a bit with this piece of ST lore. There were a couple of episodes of ST:Voyager where the Kazon attempted to steal replicator technology from Voyager because having to carry provisions with them limited their military efforts.
What a metaphor.
Back in the day, a cup of earl grey hot wasn't Picard piss reconstituted. It was that thing space explorers drank when they gazed upon the cosmos in wonderment.
Now it's just Captain Kirk's recyled shit because ST had to get all edgy, with Admirals saying "FUCK!" and robots rose up against their oppressors and slaughtered them all.
We just can't have nice things anymore.

So many particulars. So many questions.
data said shit in Generations. Both of these are mid level swears though, I bet nobody in starfleet ever said cunt

sure they do in ds9 - there's some suspiciously long pauses between cunt and stable on that station
