I only watch Data being on trial on loop. Not the whole episode, just the trial.

Wait, there’s other stuff you can watch?
Yeah that’s what I thought, other shows that aren’t Star Trek… what a funny person.
Yeah, got a bit of a backlog of stuff to watch. This whole “prestige television” era is making it feel like a chore. Gotta commit all this time and attention to new characters and stories… Hey, I wonder what Kirk’s up to.

I’m only 3 episodes into the latest. So far, good stuff as expected. Just a bummer this is it.

No worries and I’m fairly certain who you’re talking about. Kinda expected that person to show up again.

Q episodes - best episodes
“Bride of Chaotica” but not “In the Pale Moonlight”?
For shame.
I’d have included at least a dozen more, but meme space is limited. Also, shout out for “The Magnificent Ferengi.”
Funny, I hated that episode when I saw it. Seemed like a betrayal of everything the Federation and Starfleet were supposed to stand for.
Strange to think it’s well-received after having such a strong reaction at the time.
That’s exactly the point of the episode. It’s a breakdown of deontology (actions are either good or evil themselves, regardless of their outcomes) compared to consequentialism (good or evil is determined by the outcome of said acts). It’s all well and good for the Federation to adhere to its morals, but the result of that adherence was Sisko posting growing casualty lists in the wardroom week after week. Was Sisko morally wrong for causing the assassination of a Romulan Senator, a criminal, his own ideals, and indirectly causing the deaths of thousands or millions of Romulans, in exchange for shortening the war?
Also Avery Brooks’ performance was intense.
Excellent breakdown, thanks for your reply.
I suppose I’ll have to re-watch and see how I react now. At the time, I was horrified.
I always appreciate a good Macrocosm on a slow day. I love Janeway being a badass
Just watch whatever’s on TV
Cable television?
Streaming or piracy. That’s the best I can do.
That kid looks a lot like Elijah Wood. Is it?
Yup. One of his first roles.
Just watch over the air TV. Its free and requires little hardware
As things evolved, nowadays it’s easier and cheaper for me to assembly the hardware needed for piracy than reliably receiving EM waves on the air.
People… like Captain Proton episodes? I’d almost rather watch “Masks”.
I keep thinking I should do a proper rewatch of the Dominion War
It goes pretty quick if you skip all the vic fontain filler
That’s war though, intense periods, with lots of nothing inbetween. Did you really get the dominion war without Vic?
Vic’s heist was one of my favorite episodes because of this. And because it felt like the crew of the station actually trying to hold onto what life was like before the war, which felt important, especially after In the Pale Moonlight
That’s a really good point
