Life is hard enough as it is. I’m tired. I’m exhausted. Give me hope for a better tomorrow that I honestly can’t see. Gimme Star Trek.
That being said, what do you think is the funniest episode of TNG and the scariest episode? I can’t make up my damn mind on what to watch. I’m starting with Schisms because fuck that holodeck clicking scene.
Also after posting this and taking a look at the home screen, I feel like I’m dangerously close to spamming. If I haven’t already. If it becomes a problem please let me know. Gonna back off a bit today.
The funniest moment for me is when Data is telling Worf how to care for Spot. He’s saying stuff like “You must provide her with feline supplement 39 twice per day. You must give her affection 3 times per day. You must tell her she’s a good cat, and a pretty cat”. Worf looks at Data with murder in his eyes and says “I will feed her”.
The reverse is the scene where Data is in command and he has to rein in Worf.
Don’t forget, even in the Star Trek main timeline, Earth had to suffer through the Second American Civil War, the Eugenics Wars, World War III, and the post-atomic horror before her people were able to start building a utopia. We’re right on track! ☢ 👽 🐬 🛸
In Trek we were lucky that our little corner had friendly/tolerable aliens and specifically that it was the Vulcan first contact.
Unfortunately in our reality we are 99.99999% for sure alone and the end result of all that suffering, if we manage to achieve near FTL travel we will just devolve into some nihilistic hyper capitalism, those stupid articles “this asteroid is worth 1 trillion USD in minerals” are already being published unironically.
I’ve stopped watching the news and instead started watching Trek for my mental health. My anxiety is better and honestly I think I’ve watched every episode at least three times by now.
Would rather hear the intro to Enterprise than some talking head explaining how the world is going to burn and no one really cares. We have lived in the garden of Eden and burnt it to the ground.
I guess I have a low bar but TNG Q episodes were all very funny, Deja Q if I were to say #1.
I’m an atheist though so I wont get scared by ghosts/horror stuff, but I guess the “worst feeling” moment was actualy TNG Best of Both worlds. I think the realization that the doomsday scenario is actually coming, it is real and inevitable, our chances are extremely low, the very moody soundtrack made it a very sober experience for me the first few times I watched it.
I know the feeling, thats why I rewatch tv shows, you want to be relaxed in know ground where it’s just comfortable to watch.
I just recently watched for thre first time Voyager, I loved it, has a very bad stream of episodes but at the end was worth it
