Wow, this episode was really annoying. Don’t you hate it when some alien race does something totally douchey that makes you fear for your life and think all your friends are dead? But then they just get to walk away from it because it’s a new species and a misunderstanding and uh, you don’t have [...]

I guess I’d gotten so used to the idea of Quark as an almost-main cast member that I forgot he is (or was, at this point) a “bad guy”. He was willing to hire some guys to hijack a ship… hijacking frequently leads to hostage situations and/or loss of life, I would think. Also, Odo [...]

First off, I just wanted to say how amused I am that I am (bothering to) blogviewramble about a TV show almost 2 decades old. I suppose it’s even more amusing (to me! I don’t care what you do in your spare time. Unless it’s sick and wrong then you should probably stop and turn [...]

Ahhh, the ubiquitous (at least as far as Star Trek goes) Q. I don’t know if I’m shocked that they waited a whole seven episodes to bring him on, or shocked that they brought him on so early. Maybe I’m not shocked in the least, and instead generally apathetic. Yeah, that’s probably it. Jen mentioned [...]

I found this episode pretty good, as far as these stand-alone things go. Although it did manage to vaguely plot-moving in that it contained the Federation/stations first contact with a Gamma quadrant species. The species happened to be one who breeds sentient beings to be hunted, and those beings apparently want to be hunted, and [...]

From CBR: The show is supposed to be the goriest thing ever, as far as TV shows go. I’m not a big fan of gore at all, but the comic series is interesting enough to make me wonder about the TV version. I mean, depressing, bleak, & macabre all seem to be in as far [...]

This was a pretty run of the mill stock episode, plot-wise. Avery Brooks seems to have dialed back the crazy faces to “normal”, and the rest of the cast seems to have relaxed into their roles as well. The only thing I really noticed as awkward/odd in this episode was a scene with Kira & [...]

A Star Trek murder mystery! I have to say, I called the “trick” like 1/4 of the way into it, but it was still an enjoyable episode. Some of that enjoyment came from the (continued) overdone facial expressions. When Keiko O’Brien sees those wascally kids getting into trouble? Stern-busybody-woman-shaking-head-face ATTACK! When guy with the creepy-as-fuck-voice [...]

Just watched Past Prologue, and the facial madness continues! Did all the Treks do this? I can’t remember. But everyone seems to carry a ton of emotion IN THE FACE. ie bad guys are frequently given away by early on in a kind of facial-aside. Face monologue? It’s not horrible – I mean, they are [...]

Has it really been 17 years??? WHAT THE —-!? Wow. I mean, damn, I’m old. This was always my favorite Star Trek, although if you asked me why I couldn’t tell you at the time. Still, even as much as I liked it, I eventually stopped watching – around the time that Dax got replaced [...]
