Overall, I think DS9 is better than TNG, but TNG easily has at least a dozen really good to great episodes IMO. Just off the top of my head - Measure of A Man Darmok Inner Light Sins of the Father Best of Both Worlds I, Borg Tapestry Conundrum Cause and Effect I can think of several more in my head, but I don't know their titles. Many people love Yesterday's Enterprise also, but I think it's just good. The first three I listed are simply brilliant IMO. I will give you Measure of a Man. Some of the ones on your list I don't remember at all, possibly because the titles are so boring. I did like the episode with Ardra -- I think it was called Devil's Due. A romp rather than high drama, but I give it props for showing the Clarkean possibilities for Federation tech -- and that Picard isn't fooled. My nomination for an actually brilliant ep was the one where, by a series of accidents, a village of people on a primitive planet think Picard is a god. His attempts to fix this violation of the Prime Dorective are indeed high drama: "Picard must make a decision" rather than merely "Picard must solve a problem." But like I said, I can't remember the title. (And I do agree, DS9 was better than TNG in just about every way.)

Badger Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ok they only made one BSG series right. Back in the 70s, and it lasted only one season, they didn't bring it from cancellation in 1980 for several horrible episodes. And they most certainly didn't reboot it in the 2000s, where it got reduced to a bunch of Cylons posing as humans spying on each other and Scruffy the Janitor (aka the only human left) Pariah, Lord Liaden and Starlord 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Just finished the first four episodes of TOS. I'm kind of surprised they didn't title the show "ESPers Attack!" At least they change gears to swashbuckling Sulu in the 5th episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Let us see the pilot had telepathic/mind illusion Talosian. The 2nd pilot had Gary Mitchell go full on god-like. Then the Salt Monster had telepathy and illusion. And the Charlie Evan's was basically Gary Mitchell with Anakin's personality and angst. I think I covered it.

death tribble Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 You don't like the Salt Monster as it is a prototype Ewok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Actually to be honest I've never given the salt monster all that much thought. Charlie Evans on the other hand crossed a line for me. To where I didn't feel the pity, I thought the creators expected me to feel when the aliens retrieved him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I did feel pity for Charlie Evans, because despite being physically adult he was obviously still a child. No training or experience in social context or emotional self-control, never having had to take responsibility for his actions, turned loose in an environment where he could do whatever he wanted without consequences. The result was inevitable. But all he really wanted was what he never had, acceptance and companionship from others like himself. And when that was finally in his grasp it was taken away.

Pariah Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I have to say, I find interesting the degree to which the prequel series, i.e., Enterprise and Discovery, have made it a point to demonize the Vulcans in general and Spock specifically. I don't think Roddenberry would have approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
