Ya that episode is great. It lurked in the back of my mind every episode afterward, always hoping to hear any sort of throwaway line about the fate of that ship.

I stared at this so long I was late for my meeting

Haha yes, thanks. The power of a traumatic episode huh?

Wow good guess, so it’s 3 songs then. Those 2 plus particle man.

As I stare at this meme, bewildered, I realize I am only a dilettante that knows 2 songs 🤣😆

If we’re going to take that last shot literally, Baraam is warp-capable

Wow. Turns out I walked away after “Your Mama IV” and completely missed this final shot of the space station going to warp.

Thanks, I hate it.

So the Terran empire runs some kinda hunger games for the next evil emperor… and the current evil emperor is just cool with abdicating I guess?

I wish I could enjoy it, but it just feels so dumb to watch a fairy tale transfer of power in the most evil setting.

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.

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."

His imdb page is suprisingly prolific https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/ 151 roles since 1973 is a pretty damn good run.

Yes! They are so fallible, and believably so most the time, that I really appreciated their missteps.

The only time I didn't appreciate thinking was when it decontamination time. I just pretend it is like watching an old b/w show with an embedded detergent ad: an unfortunate relic of its time that is just baked into it.
