My reflexive is-ENT-a-joke-to-you response is tempered by realizing you have also forgotten Sisko and Burnhan in addition to Archer.

This is some properly calibrated gourmet ragebait 👌

Pike, after every torpedo, rift, or anomaly:

Yeoman, go pick up all my tchotchkes and bricabrac and restage my quarters.

Ah shit here I go again too 🤣

This grinds my gears too.

Why does Pike have open flames and a cocktail lounge while Uhura sleeps in a ~~spacecoffin~~ bunk.

Maybe it’s only the plebs; doesn’t La’an have a stufio apartment for her quarters?

If “ish bin ein Berliner” translates as “I am a jelly donut” (favorite anecdote of mein lehrer)

Then does “ich bin ein amerikaner” translate as “I am a loaf of sliced bread”?

Edit: thanks fam 🤙

Amerikaner is a cookie but not a chocolate chip cookie, never ever would have guessed 🤣

The writers: I have an idea…

The fans: What do you think this is? HAMLET? GONE WITH THE WIND? RUGGLES OF RED GAP? It's a goddamn B picture! Big men in tights! You know the drill

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.

When we fix the irregular verb sing we will create a new heteronym between singed-as-past-of-sing and singed-as-past-of-singe 🫠

 

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.
