Finished up Unification Part 2 today, Data just styled on Tasha's retard daughter and there were literally no consequences for their dumb as shit plan to secretly and unilaterally form a union state with romulus and vulcan, with only a minority of Romulans and one Vulcan consenting. Still, I'd forgotten about Sela even existing, so seeing her reminded me of how great Yesterday's Enterprise was. At the end, Spock now lives in a cave telling Romulans about logic while the secret police shake their fists and wonder why there's so many fucking caves under the capital city. Fanservice was kinda nice though. I'm not a big TOS guy, I've only seen a few episodes and the movies, but it's fun to see callbacks to shit like The Undiscovered Country. Also, big ups to Stephen Root, guy is a natural as a klingon. He really took a super thin character and made him interesting and memorable.

I'll burn through a few more episodes at a time before sharing opinions.
 
I've heard a lot of YouTubers say the new season is shaping up to be pretty good, but I still just can't bring myself to watch it even through piracy. I don't trust them not to eventually fuck it up and I refuse to even get invested. I also refuse to validate the existence of Bad Robot by consuming anything they've produced.
 
I like The Game well enough. It sounds good on paper: A sexy space pirate seduces Riker and almost manages to steal the Enterprise due to tricking the crew into becoming her psycho slaves. Data is off the board and can't help. Those pesky kids can't trust anyone in a world turned against them.

It would have been good as a two parter where the kids play the game as part one fades to black, "to be continued," full on doom and gloom music. Part two cold open is Data's deconstructed pieces being sold to some Ferengi scrapper. After the opening credits, a lot of scenes with the pirate lady in charge of the ship, putting her feet on Picard's desk, and taking advantage of her slaves. She is setting up a meeting to sell the crew to cannibal aliens. Things are looking grim for our heroes.

Meanwhile, the Ferengi has had Data repaired so he'll be worth more at auction. Back at the Enterprise, we see it is having its rendezvous with the cannibal species. At the last second before slaves start beaming over, the Ferengi ship arrives. Pirate lady has surprise face. The Ferengi ship blasts the cannibals out of space and Data beams in to save the Enterprise while the Ferengi are left tied up in the trunk. After everyone comes to their senses, the pirate lady screams how they'll never take her alive. Riker shrugs and gives her a blast with his phaser. Surprisingly she suffers a particularly gruesome death. Was he thinking of his memories as the sub in their extreme s&m sessions?? He turns to the captain and says "I thought it was set on stun!" Everyone looks on in shock and awe at Will the murderer and the blotchy stain on the carpet. The end.

This would have been fantastic, as long as Wesley was eaten by cannibals.

Quark's marriage arc alone was better than any TNG Klingon stuff.

Quark gets married??? No way. He's so gross looking. Does he marry a shiksa?


Also, I couldn't help myself, and watched A Matter of Time. Fucking excellent episode. Had the science plot, the moral dilemma, the clever twist, the even more clever twist at the end, some cool shit with Data, some good special effects, and a nice reminder of how fucking OP tech got by the 24th century where they're flying around in a giant multipurpose planetbuster if they ever felt like being dicks. Great episode all around. Loved tall guy's dynamic with the crew, at first an excited fan, gradually more suspicious, tryna smash with Crusher, just a good episode of TV. It's hard not to binge this show.

I hate Worf's white hair, I really do.

Given that Klingons are supposed to have longer life spans than humans, Worf should only just be approaching middle age for his race.

I like to think his hair has turned white from all the beatings he's received over the years.

The people watching (and writing) Nu-Trek don't know fuck all about Star Trek so why would they know that tidbit?

I'm a few pages behind but....

My initial guess (now proved untrue) was that Bashir or Garak was her handler, especially since Section 31 was brought up.

I laughed heartily at Sneed.

As far as a Wesley episode, The Game isn't bad. It's a fun mystery setup and has a decent ending where Wesley fails.

It is strange how not once on ds9 did we see any non-civillian Ferengi. Political yes. But not Daimons worried about Dominion interference, or an explanation of how Ferengi military from TNG intersects with taxation, trading guilds, the Nagus's jurisdiction, and expansion in the Gamma Quadrant.

Instead of "The One With Tranny Quark," which insults both its characters and viewers--we could have seen Vorta extorting these neutral businessmen to assist the Dominion, while Sisko attempts to intervene. That would be a great reason to pull in the Ferengi military for Season 7 and the end of the war.

Speaking of that episode, it is a crime against humanity that when Henry Gibson finally appeared on Star Trek, he was wasted in a minor appearance as a tranny chasing cola baron. I would have loved to see him in various roles from TOS to TNG and beyond.
 
Was watching old Night Court episodes (to get the taste of the new one out of my mouth) and ran across this guest star. She was actually pretty cute back in the day.
