Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[indomitable snowman]

Poor Worf, even parties in his honor are about Worf-ing him.

Should have ended with data laughing

The writing room being infested with period drama fangirls was truly one of the more bizarre millstones

The Jeri Taylor era felt like when cat ladies take over the writers' room. Her big claim to fame was that Jane Eyre hologram with no real point, that two-part holodeck nazi thing, and that glorified Hallmark movie Fair Haven. Maybe if Janeway fucks her make-believe Irish boyfriend, then females will stop changing the channel.

I’ll give "Killing Game" a pass, it’s fun (and completely unmoored from continuity or sanity), just Trek actors pretending to be Hogan's Heroes for sweeps. If they’d had any self-awareness they would’ve brought in Vicki Michelle.

The infamous granny sex ghost episode which took place on the previously discussed Planet Scotland was also one of her earlier marks on the series, and foreshadowing of just what was to come with VOY.....and to make the foreshadowing even freakier she even wrote the somewhat less infamous Planet Pooner episode which uh....yeah we are gonna need a full team effort to dissect in view of the past decade of currentyear which made it age horribly, hilariously, and somehow fuckin accurately all at the same time.

Still, she did write or help write some brettygud episodes so I cannot be too harsh on her. At the very least we can see a clear delineation of quality between mid 90s mid writers on VOY with heads full of harlequin romance novels featuring some Fabio lookin motherfucker in a puffy white shirt on the cover, and mid 2010s sub-mid writers on STD with heads full of Tumblr underage rape/scat/gore/vore fapfics featuring some morbiously obeast nigger troon with vitiligo as the author avatar art

 

[Tasty Tatty]

they assume the audience has the literacy of a dog.

That was insulting during the TNG-VOY era, now it's a sad reality.

I thought we all agreed to never mention this episode again? Let it not be named to erase the memory of poor Gates having to pretend to get fucked by a ghost on national TV

Let us also not forget she specifically read her granny's secret ghost gooning diary and bragged about how much it turned her on to Troi who for some reason did not throw herself out the airlock right then and there

I mean imagine you are at work and a colleague comes up to you with "Ya know I found my grandpa's jerkin off diary where he talked about all the ways he rawdogged the jailbait ghost girl who climbed out of his TV and BAH GAWD that shit got me so damn hard I had to start jerkin off myself!" *

Like....the actual fuck would you say to that?

* please imagine this section being read by the late Gilbert Gottfried to get the full intended effect

I mean Troi comes from a planet where the traditional wedding attire is nudity. She has a direct telepathic link to Will Riker.

Beverly is probably a 3 on Troi's weirdness scale at most.

It’s funny, nobody talks about the Abramsverse anymore. Like it never happened. Especially Into Darkness. I remember being there, opening weekend,

It was the first major piece of Trek media I saw, and I was so confused by the references like Spock screaming Khan's name.

Now, I think those kind of references were pretty stupid.

Funny to think that the same actress is responsible for both Worf's kid and Q's.

Worf's kid?

She is very breedable.

I believe the correct term is "fully functional".

The writing room being infested with period drama fangirls was truly one of the more bizarre millstones hanging around VOY's neck

"This is a show set far from Earth. Let's squeeze in all the period episodes that we can."

She has the same problem as Denise Crosby, playing a character so flat, the most interesting thing she did was fuck something not human.

aka most college chicks

Worf's kid?

Suzie Plakson portrayed K'Ehleyr, Alexander's mother as well as Susie Q on Voyager.

She was also Selar.

Sorry, I thought you meant Worf did it with a Q at some point.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

What if the Q used Greco-Roman mythology to make manifestations of the Continuum more "classy"?

Who Mourns for Adonais?

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Also, when I read about the Q Continuum being "a very highly ordered society, though it was also a virtually stagnant one"*, I pictured pre-communist China, for some reason.

What if the Q continuum manifested in a scene out of Chinese mythology, like that "Court of the Jade Emperor" place?

As soon as AI is up to it, I'm going to generate a sequel to this episode where Wesley travels to Planet Wales and learns about his great-grandfathers herd of ghost sheep.

I absolutely love that so much of TOS is "what does the costume department have available this week" schlock that because of the actors, actually works

I really appreciate that they included Shang Tsung in Q's post atomic horror.



I'm sure they cribbed from every fiefdom in history and just slapped a sci-fi veneer on it, but the mustache hits in a way that’s genuinely funny.

What if the Q used Greco-Roman mythology to make manifestations of the Continuum more "classy"?

I think that’s basically what the Q civil war was gunning for, turning Q into Zeus. He’s running a chaotic family and his kid is a screaming little diva. I’m not outright mad at it, but it’s just swapping one cliche (immortals being incomprehensible and spooky) for another.

and that's how there is...

the ancient Rome but modern planet
the 1920s gangster planet
the Nazi planet

 

[Rabo 2: Electric Boogaloo]

That was literally a plot point in an episode. The borg queen is consulting 7 because she wants to do that to earth.

Holy shit, I watched those episode so many time and I never realized it was the same actress. It's so obvious too, I can recall her voice and it was the same.

• the ancient Rome but modern planet

Before they landed on "Trials and Tribble-ations", one of the anniversary pitches was to have the DS9 crew beam down to the gangster world from "A Piece of the Action" only to discover the monkey-see-monkey-do aliens had taken it way too far: now they're cosplaying as Starfleet, like a stealth parody of Trekkies.
