Ferengi hiring Pakleds, because they're cheap, gullible H1B-retards that have fake credentials? And the retards end up in charge of HR, because why not, and hire more retards? Now where have I seen that one before...
 
Any of you guys have recommendations for some good TNG books?
 
Every Star Trek book I tried reading was pretty bad. It all read like glorified fan fiction, completely with author self-inserts. These were official Star Trek books too.

Notice how almost none of the ST books ever made it into the actual show. Everybody knows Thrawn, Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn. Doctor Who’s "wilderness years", same thing. (You could argue the show nosedived once they ran out of Doctor Who pulps to strip-mine, that's probably why Moffat looked like a genius compared to the guys who came after him.)
 
Nthing the suggestion for Q Squared
I'm personally fond of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers stories
they're novellas and paced much closer to episodes which I find helps a lot
It's the further adventures of that chick who spilled hot chocolate on Picard as she joins a crew including a bug like from that TAS episode, a Bynar, and eventually they get a rando from the mobster planet

They're striking for more pay, after the replicator by the main exit on level six was repaired and stopped dispensing an archaic laundromat token every time a pakled walked past.

Okay this is getting under my skin, boys. You’re making me feel for the Pakleds. Stop that.

I was thinking more that one episode of The Simpsons where the union at Homer's job was willing to give up their dental plan (Lisa needs braces) in exchange for a free keg of beer at every meeting.
 
On another note,
I've finally reached the point where I just cannot stand the Far Beyond the Stars episode of Deep Space Nine. I've hit such a level of nigger fatigue that I can't stand it. Anything pushing the god damn civil rights movement is cringe. The novelty of seeing everybody out of their alien make up just doesn't cut it and the choices Avery made in that mental breakdown at the end has always been the most puzzling performance by an otherwise really good actor.

THEY'RE REEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Settle down, nigger. :story:

The point of the episode in the overarching story was the pah-wraiths trying to shake Sisko's faith.

People talk a lot about Mary Sue, who I think originated in a Trek fanfiction, but if you really want to see writer's two cool edgy OCs who are better than you at everything and slashed with their husbando you need to read The Entropy Effect. There's even a furry crewman.

It's actually a pretty good time travel murder mystery despite all that.

Couple of actors claimed it should’ve been a two-parter, and you can tell. Benny’s big meltdown doesn’t feel earned, dude goes from “hey I’m fine” to shaking, sweating, screaming! His whole mentor thing with Jimmy doesn’t land either, because they don’t even have time to build any chemistry, so when some toerag gets lit up by the cops it’s like… Who cares?

I’ll give them credit, though: it’s not beating you over the head with some message. Jimmy was trying to jack a car, and Papst says, “Look man, other people’s jobs are on the line, that’s why we’re axing Benny’s piece.” But as a result, the race thing never quite congeals, it’s more a story of bad luck.

I didn't see Mary Sue in so much as characters who could do anything. More like totally unknown Lieutenants (It's always a Lieutenant) that is super friendly with all the main crew. It's painfully obvious it's the author's self insert. It was almost like that episode where Barklay gets obsessed with Voyager except you replace Barclay with some never before seen Lieutenant. There was one in every book it seems. The only exception is the Garak book and that's because the author was fucking Andrew Robinson so obviously he was self inserting as Garak.

In the late 90s nigger fatigue hadn't set in fully so it was acceptable. Imagine if DS9 was made today: The Sisko would be a ratchet black woman who constantly lectured everyone while clapping her hands between syllables. O'Brien and Bashir would be gay for each other in the first two episodes. Jadzia would be a tranny Tril played by a tranny. Kira would be a played by a muslim and would be scissoring tranny Jadzia. Quark would be the main antagonist because he wanted to make a profit.

In Strange New Worlds news: Mexican dyke pilot gets sucked through a wormhole and has to work with a Gorn pilot to survive on a barren planet. Wow, never seen that plot before. So original. It's almost like a TOS episode...
