Star Trek Megathread: Everyone Get In It's Time to Boldly Go

[Pike]

Wow Insurrection is such a snoozefest. It's just an overly long TNG episode - and not even a good TNG episode.

Nemesis was slightly better but I dunno. I think I actually preferred Generations. At least it was funnier.

[Tavrobel]

It's the curse of Star Trek movies. They're either good if they're an even number, or terrible if it's an odd number. Does not apply to the remakes, I feel.

[Pike]

Well Nemesis was an even number and I still didn't like it.

[Ayen]

My thoughts on First Contact.

Starfleet: We're going to have you on the sidelines even though you have the most advanced ship in the fleet and the only crew with any prior experience facing The Borg.
Picard: o.o

Picard: There may be no stopping The Borg this time. Now do this, this, and this and you'd have destroyed the Borg cube in no time flat.
Other Ships: AYE!

Borg Queen: I'm here to ruin everything you knew about The Borg.

Zefram Cochrane: I'm drunk!
Troi: This plot twist would have made a good episode, actually.
Zefram Cochrane: *passes out*

MOAR BORG! Pew! Pew!

I recently re-watched The Corbomite Maneuver. When the dude interrupts Kirk to say "YOU NOW HAVE SEVEN MINUTES" and Kirk just keeps on going, it's a cool moment.

I actually somewhat enjoyed Nemesis in the watching of it, but damn if it wasn't filled with dumb trout from top to bottom.

Riker stands weird. Like he's trying too hard to be masculine. His legs are super far apart and he puffs his chest out and he sticks his chin up and out.

It's like, we get it. You're a man

Can we... Can we just talk about how awesome The Doctor and Kes relationship in Voyager was? It's like... the only interesting thing about the earlier seasons.

[Tavrobel]

The character relationships were always more interesting when the Doctor was involved. Loved the Doctor-Paris banter. Hilarious.

But then they evicted Kes instead of trying to keep her and bringing on Jeri Ryan. That friendship would have had promise. And after that, they tried to push a holographic civil rights agenda in season 7. Real.

[Ayen]

Don't remind me.

[Tavrobel]

This is your fault. You keep asking about Voyager.

[Ayen]

Only the good parts!

[Pike]

The Doctor is easily the best part of Voyager. I don't even think it's a contest.

[Tavrobel]

I was trying to think of a comedy episode that didn't focus on the Doctor or Paris. Neelix, Tuvok, and Harry Kim had their own moments every so often.

False Profits might have been the only one where the Doctor didn't do anything at all. Live Fast and Prosper was mostly Tuvok, but the subplot of the episode is Paris/Neelix trying to pull a fast one on the Doctor. Prophecy is an episode about a group of Klingons who show up on Voyager thinking Tom's daughter is Klingon Jesus. Drive also had its moments as a racing episode.

All of the Fair Haven episodes were kinda funny, but it's because they were set in "Ireland." Everything else was mostly the Doctor: Bride of Chaotica, Message in a Bottle, Author Author (parts of it), Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy. I don't think we're counting unintentionally hilarious episodes.

Im watching TNG right now, but you guys talking about the doctor makes me want to watch voyager again. Because Doctor.
