Star Trek: Enterprise Season 8 Episode 5 "Trip's Camping Trip" - Trip goes camping and things get out of hand. Assistant Director Skinner and the EMH disagree on where to eat dinner. Captain Archer orders Merryweather to never talk about growing up on a freighter again. Special musical guest: Hoobastank
Braga and Berman completely gave up on any kind of continuity or even caring if characters were from the same universe.
Uh oh, Starfleet Academy tested horribly. People were furious that there wasn't enough of Spock constantly grinning and kissing coworkers with tongue. So in season two they panicked and brought back Karl Urban. Fans wanted legacy characters.
Lord McCoy is introduced sitting on a throne of tribbles like Immortan Joe. It's explained in a tie-in comic no one read. He starts out as a tyrant but over the season becomes fully omnicidal because every streaming villain has to threaten “all existence.” Spock's the new court jester. Bones just keeps promoting and demoting him every five minutes. "Ensign... ah mean Commodore... ah mean whore... dance for me, ya pointy eared bastard." "Ah'm a doctor, not a democracy!" Tonia Barrows tries to reason with him but he's too far gone.
When they go to Earth the second time (whateva whateva, big spoilers) Rygel lists off all the best parts of our world: indentured servitude... phone sex hotlines...
They are both DeLuise's kids. Peter later worked on Stargate SG-1 as a director and wrote a few episodes. It's easy to know when he is the director of an episode because he always finds a way to have an on-screen cameo. The one on the left played in the episode 100 of SG-1 and their other brother guest-starred in a later season of SG-1.
Trying to give Strange New Worlds a fair shake when this faggot-ass thing shows up. This guy bills himself as Jesse James Keitel on IMDB. He's playing a female doctor that left Starfleet to be freer. He also unironically gives a speech about not fitting into the cultural boxes society has made for people. Low and behold the episode is about rescuing slaves from Orion slave traders. Look unto the horrors man hath wrought.
Riiiiiiggghhhhhttt.....

Made it to season 6 of TNG, you can see the wheels are starting to wobble and you know they’ll be coming off soon. Maybe it’s just the foreknowledge that pretty soon Crusher will be fucking a space ghost.
The Scotty episode faintly smells of desperation to me, but at least Doohan got a paycheck.
It’s not all bad though. Want to know the best thing about these later seasons? No bloody Wesley.
About once a week the thought comes into my mind about what the characters of the Big Bang Theory would've thought about nutrek at the end of the day. I like to think Sheldon would have fights with Amy about the fat woman

It'd also be a fight he'd lose because then the joke becomes about his fitness. In general though, Leonard would try to use it to get Penny into Star Trek (like with Buffy) and she'd treat it with polite ambivalence while the rest are baffled by how bad it is.

“Relics” is unintentionally hilarious because it’s framed like this turf-war episode between Scotty and La Forge, it almost threatens to parallel that short lived Season Two 'rivalry' where Data bodies Pulaski and sends her straight to Hell.
Geordi goes full HR (Per our last email...) on a very confused and time-displaced old man.
They do the bullshit reconciliation Star Trek thing at the end but the damage is done. After the whole Leah Brahms sex doll fiasco, Geordi has no aura left. And this is before he gets duped by the Duras sisters (of all people) into destroying the Enterprise.
But anyway.. honestly the late TNG “bad episodes” are, at least, fun-bad. People clown on "Sub Rosa" or "Masks" but at least those are funny, like “what were they smoking."
"Gambit" is the worst, it’s like they took every boring TNG trope (archaeology, Romulans, Picard solo missions) and put it together. Picard is supposed to be a space pirate which is already asinine, because Patrick Stewart is not built for it. "Honor Among Thieves" did the same thing with O’Brien and it worked because O’Brien can pass as a thief. Then Riker shows up in part two doing the same undercover crap but as a rogue Starfleet officer. Why wasn’t this his job from the start? Instead they gave the assignment to Picard?
I liked Spike, his redemption arc/Buffy love arc was...good. David Marsters is a good actor and made it all believable. Plus his snark is 100% pure gold.
I liked the redhead girl before she went lezbo witch. It was neat to see a "normal" person trying to deal with all that super-natural shit without going insane....which she did later but after season 4 I wouldn't watch any more.
I liked the dark brooding atmosphere. David Borezan played it pretty well and the show tanked when he left.
It was a decent show if you didn't take it seriously. Hell...I even kinda liked spin off Angel.
I'm watching doodoobuttchump's TNG stream on cytube
the audio on season 2 sounds weirdly sped-up, and I'm pretty sure I've heard this even on some tv cable runs
Ayyyyy a fellow cytube enjoyer. Idk what I'd do without the site.
Also, did they ever offer up any sort of explanation for Alexander's advanced aging? Because I dont remember them acknowledging it even once on either of the shows.
On subsequent rewatches of DS9 I really started hating Kira and the Bajorans and more and more understanding the Cardassians and Dukat. Man, the Bajorans sucked.
