/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

In addition: Please, only check out TNG "Masks" s7 Ep.17. if - -

You're fully prepared to laugh at the absurdity of where TNG has gotten to by the tail end of season 7, and/or, you want a surrealist nightmare of the Enterprise set being turned into a 1980s rich person's indoor pool aesthetic of stepped tile, fake plants and Terra-cotta, the whole cast getting a little tired of the writers not quite conveying the motif they set out for, and Brent Spiner just showing off what a magnificent silly bastard he really is.

Okay... maybe I need to watch Masks, again.

Season 7 TNG really is incredible in many ways.

  • Masks, as mentioned
  • Cellular peptide cake
  • Enterprise becomes conscious, imagines itself as a train, and has a baby
  • Beverly's Nan's haunted erotic candle
  • Spider-Barclay
  • And more!

Also the haunting of the port nacelle.

Detective Troi and The Haunting of The Port Nacelle

Which is sadly not a Dixon Hill episode. Lol

"It's not like Dan to take his own life!" ...Lol, as opposed to, what?

A technically correct, but awkwardly contextualized line that competes with:

Dukat to Winn: "I've never seen you look so radiant!" ...Never? Never, ever? Buddy, you've known her for like, a week...

And then they somehow managed to end it all with an amazing finale, despite all that weirdness.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a brilliant performance by Spiner, and you can tell he's having a blast, but it's a terrible episode. I'd put it second behind Parma Rosa or whatever the fuck the candle one is called. Season 7 has some real stinkers near the end, but the finale is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Spiner was given a great opportunity to stretch his legs and I'd say he made good use.

But as has been pointed out, season 7 was a dumping ground for leftover stories.
