Sokath my eyes uncovered

It’s hard to come up with a circumstance and a buy-in where you can still have Star Trek adventures with real stakes and real peril, but it’s also a school.

White Squall. In space. 🤞

Fuck yes, sign me up! ENT fans want to get fed!

The show ended right as Archer entered his prime, just after we saw him broken and beaten by a real year of hell. I want to see that prime era Archer (of which we were robbed) in flashbacks as the current one is once again broken and beaten by another year of hell.

I really hope they get this off the ground 🙏

the float will feature an homage to Vasquez Rocks, the local landmark where “Star Trek” has filmed

Yes 😎

I want to see an animated series of the future federation historians that have to read the copious amount of unhinged reports from 24th c. starfleet captains.

ENT 4x23 Archer vs Shran fight 👌

Gul Dukat

Maybe you drew too fast shot yourself in the foot?

Gul Dukat is arguably the most wellformed villain in ST canon. He is a delusional maniac pursuing a twisted vision of greatness. He even works alongside our heroes for a time!

Can I offer you an Armus instead?

I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode

If there’s one thing I’d like to peek behind the curtain to see, it’s the streaming metrics for each trek.

My gut instinct is that almost nobody wants to rewatch it unless it is their own favorite trek. I know I don’t.

Buffer time! It’s the episode I feel where LD comes into its own.

TIL the episode is actually called Temporal Edict and “Buffer Time” is a lower decks board game they made based on the episode.

That feeling when someone makes a really good point and makes me wonder if S3 was not as good as I thought it was.

Yeah great suggestion, Wrath of Khan is an excellent entry point.

The enterprise being an underdog the entire time is a great showcase for the best of trek: the crew and the problem solving 👌

Wow, Devils Due is like the second episode I watched (first was Silicon Avatar) and I remember enjoying the ending where Picard mimics all her tricks before telling her to fuck off.

In hindsight easily a notgreat episode, but I remember it fondly.

That was an interesting read.

I wish someone would’ve asked her about Remember Me, one of my favorite episodes and one of the few Dr Crusher episodes.

a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half

I greatly enjoyed this season (no really, the good ones are so good), but I must agree here about the nose dive.

That documentary episode is probably my least favorite Star Trek episode of all time.

And that finale? Too much unwelcome Mass Effect 3 energy in this ending for me to enjoy.

Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

Absolutely my least favorite treknobabble of all time.

How does three sets of DNA in her - Gorn, Human and Illyrian - translate to having all the abilities of all races that have faced evil?

That bit right there is like a glob of glue along the seam where this Beholder plot was glued to the gorn cliffhanger.

Is any of this Beholder stuff foreshadowed before Batel fights Gamble the first time? I try to be a careful watcher, but it came outta left field for me.

Wish they would have leaned harder into reimagining Inner Light and less into boring chosen-one-stuff.

I finally got a chance to watch it and I thought it was great.

An overdue homage to both Enemy Mine and The Arena, feels like they really cooked with this one 🔥

I love the ending with Ortegas’ epiphany that her new reality is that one of her friends killed one of her other friends.

Other than that bizarre found-footage episode, this entire season has been fire. Somehow they’ve managed to give us more of the crew in 3 seasons than disco ever did, and I’m loving it.

I have such high hopes for the new academy show after what I’ve seen in S3, bring on the next trek golden age!

Hey it could still work as a high school musical episode of the new academy show

Disco was so unhinged that a musical would have been amazing.

Okay, now here’s your big captain number where you sing and dance about shooting stamets out the airlock…and action!

Hey I’m also behind everyone else too, I’m glad to see a chance to chime in.

I consider this to be the absolute best “red shirt” episode yet. These are my reasons.

Ensign Gamble was introduced in prior episodes; no last-minute-hey-meet-airiam contrivances.

The episode starts with Gamble reading his log, as though he is framing the entire episode and foreshadowing his survival.

The threat was menacing and inscrutable, like an Armos with better presentation. But also sad, Gamble merely picking up that orb shows how fragile life can be even in the space future. He just gets iced for no good reason like Yar, because ultimately space is scary and dangerous.

Dr MBenga suffers more trauma and loss, as he should. Every redshirt was probably somebody’s protege and certainly leaves void we rarely get to see ( eg TNG Lower Decks). Closest runner up is Trip getting all tore up over ENT casualties.

This is how to kill an away team member and have me care about it.

It’s a good distinction to make that the characters were much more interesting than the story we saw.

I looked at a list of characters and I rank 4/7 of them as interesting, but sadly half of those were killed off :(
