Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌

Those are the same actors reprising their same roles? Wow, I had no idea.

My tinfoil: she survives, but is mangled/killed soon after so he has a love interest in place when the Talosians take him from the beep beep chair into his own nexus/matrix.

I guess the Netflix MSTK was an atari situation : just rehypothecate an old brand we happen to own. I'm not sure exactly what happened there but the result is I rarely see praise for it.

That being said, I really liked it. Barbershop quartet in season 2 is a particularly great highpoint of the series.

Unpopular opinion: Maybe the narrative metaphor of the space station is the dash od salt that enhances the flavor of the voiceovers and that's why I didn't get into rifftrax 🤷‍♀️

Ya in his quarters he decries the Klingon bastards that killed his son. But at the dinner with Gorkon he drinks and toasts with klingons. He leaves it in his quarters, which of course backfires.

Woah isn't that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?

Kampfradler. I read War-Roader -> Roadwarrior but Google translate says Combat Cyclists... So... Battlerider? Sweet👌

Is it that battleriders are taking the streets away from drivers? and that since only drivers carry the taxburden then battleriders don't deserve their own rideways?

They are a boomer because their "cure" (give them no roads!) just feeds the "disease" (they took muh roads!)?

This looked way way easier to decode when I first scrolled past it 😂

Maybe you're right.

I had a response written but at one moment I wondered "is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?"

Maybe TrekCorp isn't at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

goofy hairstyles

Look how they massacred my boy Londo.

First real character I remember in sci-fi. He's a highfalutin blowhard from a noble house, who's fucking broke and has to lose two of his wives.

Then he picks the one that treats him the worst because she lies the least.

Then he goes on to sell his soul to make his planet great again which of course if goes all monkey paw on him.

The dude is a walking pile of contradictions. There's nobody like him in star trek sadly.

A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather’s restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Can we get the Andor folks to make this? Turns out the extended story of a supporting character can be amazing when done well.

 

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

 

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

 
 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

 

I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

 

I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
