TNG character headcanon?

Worf is a narcissist. Reason: Kurn and Alexander were kept until no longer useful to him then discarded. #Justice4Kurn

Universe headcanon?

The Vulcans are augments and the romulans are the baseline diaspora. Reason: every time TPol was unphased by the anomaly because of her [superior] Vulcan physiology.

They can be archived without being playable

You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Imagine an archive for unreadable books, unwatchable films, and unplayable games too!

the best series finales are always double-episodes

I think you’re right:

TNG: 2-parter, check

DS9: 2-parter, check

VOY: 2-parter, check

ENT: 1-shot, check

DISCO: 1-shot, check

Romulans: Don’t ~~Tread~~ Mintaka On me

Yes a surprisingly fun and satisfying adventure. It really made me wish there was a video game in The Congregation setting.

Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.

Me: Aurelians have…feathers?

Some searching later…

Me: Oh Aurelian not El-Aurian

Confirmed: Kai + Anus + Goatse = Koyaanisqatsi

Enterprise getting a second lease on life by virtue of no longer being the worst? I’m here for it 💪

As an ENT fan, excellent choices 👌

I think the mirror universe arc was the best.

As someone who enjoyed S1 the most, I completely agree. The closest trek yet came to “prestige” and then it slipped away :(

“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.

“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?... It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”

Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it! Wink

 

I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

Archer did nothing wrong

As an Archer fan… bwahaha. He knew it was wrong, there’s too much dialog around suspending moral codes and the like.

Eg one of my fave episodes Harbinger:

PHLOX: Captain, this man is dying a painful death. To keep him conscious is unethical.

ARCHER: Until I get the answers I need, we're going to have to bend a few ethics.

PHLOX: Very well, I'll do what I can.

 

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

 

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

 

I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

 

I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
