The Pensky File are finally reviewing Voyager after years of insisting they wouldn't. And they are mostly loving it.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Don’t know about worst, but whenever you see one that features Patrick Stewart wearing period clothes, you can be assured you’re onto a winner
Like in TOS if you saw Joan Collins is in it…

You don’t have to change much when you quote, to completely change the meaning of posts, do you?Don’t know about worst, but whenever you see one that features Patrick Stewart wearing no clothes, you can be assured you’re onto a winner
Am watching Homeward on Netflix, about 30 mins in (TNG episode, don't know what series I'm on). The prime directive is absolute bullshit - potentially a whole civilisation gone just because the hierarchy of Star Fleet says that the prime directive must be. obeyed - and Picard is so cold about it all

Episode 9 of Strange New Worlds is one of the best yet, as well as a shameless ripoff loving homage to Aliens and Predator . But then again no more so than what The Orville has been all along, so no criticism from me there.
Just started the first episode of S4 of Discovery, and whereas it could turn shit in the latter part for all I know, I am happy to report the first twenty minutes have been highly enjoyable, with the same vibes as Strange New Worlds and so far a lot more engaging than the last season if Discovery.

Yes very much an alien rip off
they were taking the piss there In an earlier episode the gorn were flying ships and we never saw what they looked like. Do they transform in some way as they get older?

I was underwhelmed by the character death in that episode. It happened too early to have sufficient pay off.

This question was prompted to my mind by The Orville’s rather than ST, due to the former naturally being a more likely natural environment for booze & drugs shenanigans. But seeing as both universes feature the all-important, game-changing replicator, it made me wonder…
Are there any episodes in the ST universe featuring anyone with a substance abuse problem facilitated by the replicator? I am not an alcoholic but I certainly like a drink, and if I had a device in my quarters that provided any drink of my choice for free instantly, I reckon my weekly unit consumption would probably end up being too high for my long term health. Not to mention if the machine could also deliver a bag of devil’s dandruff or a fistful of Mitsubishis at the drop of a hat…

Barkley was addicted to the holodeck. Not quite substance abuse, but close.
Have finally completed TNG, am gonna really miss it. Started watching my first episode of DS9 but I miss the usual people and just can't get used to that Sisko fella. But then I've only just started watching it, feels weird though. I do like the fact that what seems to be the main character is a black guy though.

For the past two or three weeks, I have been working through Voyager.
ETA. Partly inspired by the Pensky File. I am rating each episode on IMDB.

Harlan Ellison's original draft of 'City on the Edge of Forever' had Scotty dealing drugs.
Unlikely the beloved final version had much to do with Ellison's work, although he got the credit despite the rewrites.
e2a: Re alcohol, it's explained at some point that the replicators by default supply an alcohol-free version of traditionally alcoholic things. This can be overridden however.

This popped into my head the other day. How to they wash their clothes on a spaceship - do they have a launderette tucked away somewhere that they never show on telly?

They probably replicate new clothes and chuck the old ones in the airlock.
Or maybe they have "sonic washing machines" like the "sonic showers"

On the ISS they put them in a trash capsule that is jettisoned. It burns up on reentry. Water is just too costly to use on washing clothing.
In TOS they had a "ship's laundry." If you get a copy of the blueprints, its listed on them.
In DS-9, they talk about "garment reprocessing" in one episode. I don't know if that mean chucking them in a sonic cleaner or a matter reclaimer. Perhaps an even bigger nerd than me can tell us what they meant.

That was kinda my feeling back in the day. Season 1 being a bit rough didn't help. I sorta fell off DS9 and wasn't properly back in until VOY.
I still feel oddly detached from DS9 despite acknowledging it's quality.
Getting into Babalon 5 around the same time also didn't help.

They resell (well not 'sell') worn crew uniforms to cosplayers and perverts.
Not everyone likes Babylon 5 but how do you rate it?

I started off enjoying it but as it went on I felt I was missing what was going on.
Might be down to missing some episodes and not keeping up with the story.
How much of it would you say you enjoyed? (roughly).

I'm still on the first episode of DS9, will have to get back to it some time (I think its film length), but it goes on for ages and seems to take a long time to get to the point.
