Ok yeah that one definitely wasn't great. I usually don't skip it though just because the utterly backwards logic in it is pretty funny.

[-] Marsupial@quokk.au 8 points 1 year ago

Funny how she also wrote the worst StarGate episode.

"I swear, it's not that ridiculous all the time..."

During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: "Yeah, it looks bad, but there's an important progressive message in there somewhere."

Enterprise pilot episode: "Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better."

"Ok, let's try another TNG episode then. Ooh look, this one is about a ghost!"

bit of a horny streak

Frank Herbert has entered the chat.

Fair enough. Also, love the username. Beside the song itself, I'm always reminded of Gentlemen Broncos. Weird, great movie.

[-] ninjabard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Gentlemen Broncos is such an underrated gem.

Gentlemen Broncos

Thanks guys! Had not heard of that one.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So has Gene Roddenberry.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

John Norman has been cranking it in the chat for hours.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Star Trek was always horny.

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Damn, I thought nothing could get worse than Beverly the ghost diddler bust I guess I was wrong.

It's the episode that introduced Kahless and Surak to Star Trek lore.

"I want to help you, George Washington? Even your dreams are square."

[-] TheYear2525@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Probably actually Bizarro George Washington, then.

Evidence that the musical episode is only like the seventh goofiest premise in Star Trek. And I'm not even counting anything from Lower Decks.

It was the 60's what do you want from them???

[-] Steamed_Punk@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean this is pretty true of any Star Trek series. DS9 from the 90s probably has the widest gulf between grim and goofy episodes; in one episode there's a war criminal who gloats about committing genocide and getting away with it, and another episode from the same season has the cast playing hopscotch.

“Alamarein”

dies of cringe

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They never really resolved the tribble issue. I really want to know if they had to call in the Klingons to help get rid of them again after that episode

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Isn't it funny that the events of modern day are hundreds of years past for the members of Starfleet, yet all of their cultural references and entertainment options revolve around our period?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Haha, and sometimes they even try to throw in some made up one to address that, and it sounds goofy.

"Famous leaders, such as Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill, and Xergon the Merciful!"
