    “I swear, it’s not that ridiculous all the time…”

    During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: “Yeah, it looks bad, but there’s an important progressive message in there somewhere.”

    Enterprise pilot episode: “Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better.”

            I can’t go to San Francisco without thinking about the nuclear wessels. My husband is legitimately worried that I’ll start asking random strangers about them.

            Actually - considering the amount of unsolicited (and invariably wrong) advice we got from SF locals who saw us looking at transit maps and butted in to offer some friendly assistance… I may just do that at the next visit.

            “Are you looking for Fisherman’s Warf?”
            “No.”
            “It’s just down that way!” \ “I think we’re good! Thanks for the help!”
            “Actually, we’re looking for nuclear wessels. Do you know where I can find nuclear wessels?”

            \ He’s right to be worried.

              One of the first things I’d want to see in SF is the future site of Starfleet Academy.

                Judging by most of the shots, it will be where Fort Baker is now, in Marin.

            I’d say it’s the best. None of the other ones are at the top of their genres as far as action or dramatic sci-fi goes, but Star Trek IV is right up there with the best sci-fi comedies of all time.

        Fair enough. Also, love the username. Beside the song itself, I’m always reminded of Gentlemen Broncos. Weird, great movie.

      Probably actually Bizarro George Washington, then.

    Evidence that the musical episode is only like the seventh goofiest premise in Star Trek. And I’m not even counting anything from Lower Decks.

      I mean this is pretty true of any Star Trek series. DS9 from the 90s probably has the widest gulf between grim and goofy episodes; in one episode there’s a war criminal who gloats about committing genocide and getting away with it, and another episode from the same season has the cast playing hopscotch.

        They never really resolved the tribble issue. I really want to know if they had to call in the Klingons to help get rid of them again after that episode

    Isn’t it funny that the events of modern day are hundreds of years past for the members of Starfleet, yet all of their cultural references and entertainment options revolve around our period?

      Haha, and sometimes they even try to throw in some made up one to address that, and it sounds goofy.

    All great sci fi has its moments of levity. People who can’t or won’t accept that, I don’t know what to tell ya.
