Is that the episode with the little worm tails in the back of the neck?

Also eating worms.

Yeah, it's one of the few good S01 episodes.

Sounds like some Star Trek cannon BS to me.


I barely consider even parts of Voyager "canon" - there was so much that will never be revisited.

As it is, while I prefer DS9 to TNG (slightly - come at me bro), I recognize those shows have, effectively, different "effective" canon for Klingons and Ferengi.

"Ace, now you're just talking crazy. How do you mean, different 'effective' canon?"

Just take the overlap years - Season 6 TNG/Season 1 DS9 - in that same season, (DS9, Season 1) Grand Nagus Zek fakes his own death and runs a scheme whereby the tradition of prominent Ferengi have their bodies sold in dessicated discs as souveniors, Beverly (TNG, Season 6) has a moral dilemma when a prominent Ferengi scientist is killed, she suspects foul play, and the family doesn't want to authorize an autopsy because the body can't be desecrated before the burial ritual.

Ferengi are not only not spiritual, they are deliberately the antithesis of this.

This is only a single instance of numerous (dozens, certainly, perhaps over a hundred) contradictions between TNG and DS9 canon on just the Klingons and Ferengi. Don't get me started on combat capabilities of Federation vessels and the raw size of Starfleet (again, I prefer DS9, slightly, but they might have gone overboard on the Dominion War - slightly )

I have two.

Lower Decks, focusing upon junior officers.

Tapestry, Picard does It’s a Wonderful Life.

The Drumhead is one of my favorites. Also liked Darmok and The Disaster.

Sub Rosa


Beverly Orgasms to a Candle Ghost.



Edit: it's the worst episode of all time. But I'm going with it.

Easily my favorite of all time. No action, just Stewart’s amazing acting from an excellently written story. It won a Hugo award.

The Borg are well done in TNG. But damn did they overuse them in STV.


Never watched Voyager, but weren't they deep in Delta Quadrant, which was the Borg's turf? Certainly makes for many more chances for encountering them.

Yeah but they had more they could have done within the Delta.

You didn't miss much. Any episode that didn't focus on The Doctor was, generally, a waste of time. Incompetent female captain, whiny, mediocre crew, weak civilians (compared to DS9, for sure) and inferior in every way to the 3 previous crews except The Doctor. Tuvok was "okay". 7 of 9 was eye candy only. A pretty, but otherwise dry, boring character, poorly written and acted (like much of Voyager).

The rest? Meh.

Super meh at times.

The Doc was the funniest and had the best arc.

I am a Janeway fan, don't hate me, so I love Voyager.
