Given that stance, I can only hope that you've watched The Orville. It stands as the spiritual successor to TNG. Gotta trudge through the 1st season, for the sake of getting FOX Entertainment hooked on the line.

Thereafter, they managed to tell the sort of contemporaneous stories that otherwise qualify for TNG in its time.

Short story medium: Had this on VHS and the remote had a 1.5 play speed. My older sister and I would crack up watching Mortal Kombat as voiced by the Chipmunks. Great memories. Thanks for the reminder.

By "defeat" surely you mean talk them back to their humanity, resulting in some sort ot shenanigans scored by Michael Giacchino.

My money's on main cast.

It's also a small, presumably nimble, target.

 

Had to harvest the power of the sun in the palm of my hand in order to brighten the shots enough

PIC season 3 episodes 4 "No Win Scenario," 1 "The Next Generation," and 9 "Vōx"

 

TAS s1e1 "Beyond the Farthest Star"

For me, despite its pandering nature, season 3 finally clued into what the fandom was expecting from the series from day 1. Just get the damn band back together! Maybe hire a lighting technician. Ah, crap, they got the guy from the Kelvin-verse.

Sad. Sorry about that.

Sadly dropped altogether, last I heard.

Not my first time, actually. Like to keep a few in mind when the opportunity arises.

DS9 s6e9 "Statistical Probabilities"

 

This post is to answer the query of @nilaus@lemmy.world regarding my ranking of each Trek series as they currently stand. Being a child of the 80's certainly influences my choices, plus the "golden age" longer seasons allowing for better character development. SNW having not quite 2 seasons remaining (the 5th and final season being a truncated 6 episodes; rather shy of the modern era 10) leaves its spot in limbo. Chances are I'll end up placing it above LD. Then there's the upcoming Academy yet to debut, making any more steadfast placement caught in temporal flux. Bring it on... And do play nice in the comments. Opinions we can disagree with, but remember that they come from people. Very flawed people.

Background from TAS S2e4 "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth." Just love the scenery artwork in that show.

 

ST '09 and Galaxy Quest

 

Christopher Plummer as General Chang spinning maniacally in his chair from The Undiscovered Country and his daughter Amanda as Vadic chewing the scenery in PIC s3e2 "Disengage"

I rather like Amanda Plummer's deliberate choice to honor her father's role in the way she portrayed Vadic. And who doesn't love a spinny chair?

 

ST IV: The One with the Whales

 

VOY s4e7 "Scientific Method"

 

Just a heads-up: the first episode of SNW season 3 becomes fair game October 17.

 

TNG s5e6 "The Game"
