As an episode in general, any one ever where 1) someone/something messes around with the timeline, screwing up a bunch of stuff 2) they go back and do a bunch of stuff to fix it, timeline returns to normal, fade to 3) end of episode, everything is as if nothing ever happened, all characters, in actuality, DID NOTHING, and NOTHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Every time I run into this episode in Star Trek or any other sci-fi, I want that hour of my life back. Like, why did I just watch all of this, if literally nothing happened?
They also had a second one (the crossover) where things were 99% the same but 1% different at the end and they’re just like “meh, that’s close enough.”
Actually, that’s not true, as established in the novels and canonised in SNW last series, the timeline is in constant flux with certian events having to happen but moving due to interference. Hence why the Eugenics wars were meant to be in the 90s in TOS, now they happen post 2020 in the current timeline.

When the later-retconned-to-be-mirror-universe-because-too-prestige-tv-edgy Lorca character cited Elon Musk as some great scientific hero.
Every scene when human do klingonboo things.
I don’t understand this one, can you explain?
Klingons become quite popular after their rework in movies so from TNG onward you can see increasing amount of fanservice for them. Despite being archetypical enemy of the Federation, a warrior culture vs the peaceful one, we see central characters like Picard or Dax being basically honorable klingons, and there is not many klingons actively opposing that despite their society is xenophobic as fuck. Also they get whitewashed all the time with all the talk about honor, but nobody talk what is exactly happening with multiple species conquered by klingons, we never see them.
Interesting, thanks!
I was young and late to trek, so Voyager was the only one I watched religiously. I found Lana’s Klingon episodes dull.

In the movies I would say when Worf went into Klingon puberty in Star Trek: Insurrection and got a giant pimple in his face that everybody was making fun of.
Janeway and Paris making lizard babies.
Data’s continued quest to be more human.
And the whole of TNG Series 1 where they’re all as wooden af cos they haven’t grown into the roles yet.
Data’s organ solo is hilarious though (look it up on YouTube).
Edit isn’t working, so here’s a second one https://gfycat.com/coolveneratedfrillneckedlizard That is all.
Tasha Yar dies due to the Exxon Valdez.
The end of “Cogenitor”, where Archer blames Trip for the death of Charles.
I’d say most of S1 and S2 and half of S3.
So, basically, yeah.
I mean I can compress any story you like into 3 sentences making it sound completely silly. Is there a point to make?
Yes. Picard season 3 was badly done.
The plot was weak, and it leaned way too heavily on the nostalgia factor to get views. It also ignored the developments with the Borg in season 2 just to have an excuse to bring up Locutus.
It could have been so much better, but they concentrated on ‘getting the band back together’ instead of an actual reason for them to get together.
Surely over the 30+ years of in universe time, the crew have served with other good officers who would have their backs, while being old enough to not be affected by the magic Borg mind control. This could have also given us new characters that were actually at risk of dying, rather than giving us a pretty much indestructible crew, excluding, of course, the single disposable crew member, and the token death to show ‘our’ Borg that she’s been accepted.
It was a poor season, propped up by childhood memories.
The whole point of bringing back Picard to begin with was to play on classic fans nostalgia after the negative reaction to Dis in the early years. The first two series failed that and gave us loads of piss poor new characters that were largely hated. They did the right thing with S3. Have us some memberberries, capped off one of the hanging threads from the TNG era and rode off into the sunset
I see you are correct.
Season 3 was an awesome reunion show for TNG fans
They could have come out and sung WAP and it would still be awesome to see the crew back together.
Any scene in Discovery where that Michael woman starts crying.
So basically discovery. Because she has this cry face all the time.
I’d put anything where Alex Kurtzman had free hands in the same diarrhea comet.
And this is why the startrek.website instance has the reputation it does for over-zealous moderation … because maybe sometimes we collectively deserve it if some of us are going to behave like this.
Behave like what exactly? Someone asked a question, someone else answered.
No need to get your pants all tangled up.
