I watched the episode "Final Mission," the ninth episode of the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation this weekend (original air date: December 2nd, 1990). The episode had

Thank goodness they finally got rid of Wesley. I just watched this one myself. Also worth mentioning is that his "solution" was complete bullshit. Worst deus ex machina ever.

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
I like to think that the sentries just lost interest, or thought it was amusing enough that Wesley was just smashing together his tricorder and comm badge in hopes that something useful would

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
AND! Don't forget: pushing buttons about as fast as Data. Because programming EM transmissions in realtime is that easy.

Wilber in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
He's got superhuman attributes, duhsies! The Traveller said so. It is entirely reasonable that he would manifest some extraordinary tricorder reading abilities in the moment of crisis.

Wilber in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
I got a little emotional reading this. Non-trek people just don't get what the show means, and especially what it means to nerds like us who have it all wrapped up in our childhood.

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
I think that's a good way to put it. I mean, I've already seen pretty much every episode, and it's fantastic trip down memory lane. I used to fight with my sister so much for my right

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
:D Also, I wrote a script that tells me how far / how much Star Trek I have left to watch. Having just watched episode 89, and at the conservative average rate of 5 episodes a week, I'll

Here's how it would go: Josh: (starting up Voyager after thoroughly enjoying DS9) "Well, might as well finish the fight. I watched it a bit with my dad when I was a kid, but seemed to

Lol, that's an epic retelling of what I can only imagine is the absolute truth with no embellishments.

Wilber in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
They couldn't use the replicators because they are very energy intensive and they had limited fuel. The energy issue is a constant problem in the first few seasons, and even when they have more fuel

Neelix... I don't know. I have trouble putting a finger on the reason, but for some reason, his character just bothers me. Maybe I would have just preferred two EMH's, rather than Neelix

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
Psht, the first few seasons of DS9 were far superior to the first few seasons of TNG.

Wilber in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
But see, on a DVD you can just "next chapter" into the action.  You never even have to hear that damn song!

Wilber in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
You know, Josh, not EVERY character on ST can be a Spock/Data/EMH/Seven-like non-human robot character.  It doesn't work with more than one, otherwise the "fish out of water"

I know, I know. I just don't like the idea of impossibly happy characters, whose defining traits are that they... are happy, cheery, optimistic. No matter what. See Trance Gemini from

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +14Y ago:
Lol, "impossibly happy" characters. You've met Jason Martin, right? Neelix is just like him, but not as good at small talk.

Indeed I have. Nice fellow, though. Thinking more on it, the science fiction genre, while usually inhabiting the future and space and such, has the primary function of holding a mirror to the

Did you see later seasons of Andromeda?  Where Trance changes colors to this dusty gold instead of purple and is kind of scary and intimidating?  They totally realized that her

I... I tried. I got through half of the first season, if I remember anything from reading the blurbs on Wikipedia. It was painful to watch, particularly when each episode seemed like it was
