    I only watch Data being on trial on loop. Not the whole episode, just the trial.

            Touché! I made the above meme about 5 years ago as a reply to a Reddit post. You’re the first to create a response other than a downvote. And a contextually-relevant one!

            Bravo!

    Unlike me, who has to take periodic breaks from my endless Trek playlist to watch other stuff.

      Yeah, got a bit of a backlog of stuff to watch. This whole “prestige television” era is making it feel like a chore. Gotta commit all this time and attention to new characters and stories… Hey, I wonder what Kirk’s up to.

        Just did a binge of The Bad Batch S03. Man, Filoni is on fire! I wish we had him making nuTrek stuff.

          I’m only 3 episodes into the latest. So far, good stuff as expected. Just a bummer this is it.

            S03 will be the last, but only half the episodes are out so far. There will be 15 this season. So far, there have been 3 major story parts to the plot, and they’re all pretty heavy. And awesome. if you’ve like the story so far, this season is the best so far! They’re packing a lot in and making the most of this season. It’s paced very fast.

            Edit: spoilers, sweetie!: (not really) in the last couple of episodes currently available, we get to see an old friend ツ nothing too special, but it’s nice to see them.

              No worries and I’m fairly certain who you’re talking about. Kinda expected that person to show up again.

                I think you got it ;)

                Also, don’t be too bummed out. We already know how this story ends and that we’re gonna see them again (in Rebels). This story is but a link in a very long chain, and more links keep appearing here and there. Ahaoka just showed us that. Finally, we found Ezra! (I cried for 20 minutes!) And now Ahsoka and Sabine are lost in a galaxy maybe not so far, far away…

    “Bride of Chaotica” but not “In the Pale Moonlight”?

    For shame.

      I’d have included at least a dozen more, but meme space is limited. Also, shout out for “The Magnificent Ferengi.”

      Funny, I hated that episode when I saw it. Seemed like a betrayal of everything the Federation and Starfleet were supposed to stand for.

      Strange to think it’s well-received after having such a strong reaction at the time.

        That’s exactly the point of the episode. It’s a breakdown of deontology (actions are either good or evil themselves, regardless of their outcomes) compared to consequentialism (good or evil is determined by the outcome of said acts). It’s all well and good for the Federation to adhere to its morals, but the result of that adherence was Sisko posting growing casualty lists in the wardroom week after week. Was Sisko morally wrong for causing the assassination of a Romulan Senator, a criminal, his own ideals, and indirectly causing the deaths of thousands or millions of Romulans, in exchange for shortening the war?

        Also Avery Brooks’ performance was intense.

          Excellent breakdown, thanks for your reply.

          I suppose I’ll have to re-watch and see how I react now. At the time, I was horrified.

    People… like Captain Proton episodes? I’d almost rather watch “Masks”.

      Cable television?

      Streaming or piracy. That’s the best I can do.

          Yup. One of his first roles.

          As things evolved, nowadays it’s easier and cheaper for me to assembly the hardware needed for piracy than reliably receiving EM waves on the air.

        That’s war though, intense periods, with lots of nothing inbetween. Did you really get the dominion war without Vic?

          Vic’s heist was one of my favorite episodes because of this. And because it felt like the crew of the station actually trying to hold onto what life was like before the war, which felt important, especially after In the Pale Moonlight
