Trip has so many great moments!

The episode when he is obsessed with pimping out the Captain Chair is one of my favorites.

Top six gang 💪

Hey thanks, it's all new to me. I know what I'm watching this weekend.

After a dip I to that rabbit hole, perhaps I spoke too quickly...

Q: Look at me when I'm eating off you Picard.

But to your point, are there any fandoms (besides the church) that are still going strong with commemorative plates? Maybe they are just old fashioned.

What's this, what's this? There's Trek alum everywhere!

Ooh, is there a hot take here?

I havent heard much about it, sorry if I'm retreading a tired topic.

Kolos, at the gates of Sto'Vo'Kor: psst it's me Martok, come round the back and I'll get you to Jadzia.

They could do an episode in this idea too, you got a stew going here 🤙

Some aliens arrive looking for Dax (who remembers them and why they've come) but then the aliens kidnap Dax!

After some science the crew learns that Dax must have diverged in the past and the aliens are seeking the Other Dax.

The crew finds the Other Dax, explains the situation, and cooks up a ruse to free both Dax and Other Dax.

Episode ends on Other Dax's personal log detailing a trip home to the TSC.

I've never been here before and I already want the bread flair 🤙

I am now subscribed so I can witness the revolution; OP made a compelling case for a bunch of shit I never even considered and now I want to see what happens.

Let's go further, since they already lie about the number of symbionts.

The TSC would take an inspired approach and seek to discover the cloning process so they can scale symbionts to the entire population, and thus finally end the conspiracy.

You get a symbiont, and you get a symbiont, everyone gets a symbiont!

To me at least, it is 3 difference concepts taking turns driving a single program. S1-2 feel like the TNG formula, but with the twist of a primitive crew and ship. S3 feels like a mutiny of star trek itself. S4 feels like they sort of forgot they were supposed to backfill the canon.

That being said, I've walked away with it among my favorite treks. I personally rank Degra right up there with Dukat and Kai Wynn as some of the most distinct and well-developed trek villains.

S4 when he fights Shran with such confidence and gamesmanship, that's my favorite Archer.

Ya they smeared the 9/11 on real thick. Blew my mind to learn they were ahead of the curve on the torture:

The episode debuted nearly two years before Americans ever heard the words "enhanced interrogation."

Oh man, you just made me relive the night my dad took me to see The Undiscovered Country opening night at the Chinese. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

Ya you make good points, but when I think like that I begin to strongly dislike alot of it.

My personal beef was always how the federation looks the other way at all the vassals and clients of the Klingon Empire. Just ignore their hordes of space helots I guess.

Ironically it is only in Enterprise where I finally see someone disgusted by it, but they technically aren't the federation yet.

For those particular episodes you mentioned the cogenitor one was the one I really disliked. Some of the worst moralizing ever: think of the perils of unrestrained suffrage before you enlighten a slave!

This is very cool.

Makes me think about how "ject" lives on in so many words.

What's the unit conversion between esper rating and midichlorian count?

First time I saw him outside Star Trek was in a Scarlett O'Hara TV miniseries.

Imagine my surprise when he's driving her around in a horse and buggy: an olde time transporter chief!

I felt like in S4 they really hit a balance between episodic and serialized star trek. The arcs are 2-3 episodes and tightly focused. The standalone episodes seemed like a way to walk back from the whole season arc in S3.

Watching it now, S3 feels ahead of its time. I want to believe there is enough content to edit it down to a Netflix style 10 episode season of all the best parts.

Also augment trilogy deserves praise for shooting Archer out of a hatch into deep space and transporting him mid-trajectory and half-dead from exposure. He's seen some shit.
