Babby's first scifi sentience themed episode. It has very awkward writing, mostly in the dialog. It only seems so good in comparison to the shit that came before it. Watch it again and listen to how the characters talk each other and you'll find it very cringe worthy if you've got half a brain.
The most toys.
Data literally try's to murder a guy, then flat out lies about it.
>>63318006
>>63318233
They're talking to data like he's a tool with just language to humor him. If that's what you're referring to, then you completely missed the point of the episode.
>>63318594
It's not. Fantastic strawman though faggot.
>>63318619
That's not even close to what a strawman argument is.
s7e12 Pegasus best episode
Burton's a hell of a director it seems
>>63318640
You addressed an easily refutable argument that nobody ever made and attributed it to your opposition. That's exactly what it is.
>>63318704
I used an example of dialogue you could have easily misinterpreted and asked if that was what you thought was awkward.

But anon, it's the truth. You are right though, I don't remember all the Voyager ones off hand.
>>63318233
even the good early season episodes are a little cringey.
its almost like it was a requirement.
Lt. Commander Data: Is it not true that, had you refused to prosecute, Captain Louvois would have ruled summarily against me?
Commander William T. Riker: Yes.
Lt. Commander Data: That action injured you, and saved me. I will not forget it.
Commander William T. Riker: [smiles] You're a wise man, my friend.
Lt. Commander Data: Not yet, sir. But with your help, I am learning.

Dis nigga srs?

>I used an example of dialogue you could have easily misinterpreted
How could you possibly think he was talking about how they were talking to Data, which was literally just Maddox and one line from the aloof Admiral, and not the ridiculous flirting banter between Picard and Philippa?
>>63318319
>Data literally try's to murder a guy
>try's
Data deduced that killing him was the only way to end Fajo's reign of terror. He was kidnapped and just witnessed him murder a woman he implicitly tortured for years. Your definition of murder is no better than Fajo's himself, and I suspect you're just as fat and smarmy.
>>63319710
encounter at farpoint had some significant flaws, in the acting, pacing, general feel, etc that plagued most of the first season
>>63319237
>Year of Hell
Those are the episodes with equinox bro
>>63318006
The Inner Light is GOAT, and TNG isn't even my favorite Trek.
>>63319874
It was also the episode that introduced 'Q', changed the tone of what a Star Trek TV show could be and is the foundation on which TNG is built.
>>63319884
Equinox are the episodes with equinox.
>>63319284
>The Magnificent Ferengi
My Nagus
>>63320030
not him but that shit runs too long its not surprising it was an hour originally
>>63319237
>living witness
Pretty meh bro. A good hint that an episode is going to be mediocre is that it stars the hologram.
>>63320030
Q is GOAT, but that doesnt really change the fact that farpoint had some problems that make it somewhat awkward to watch.
>>63320092
It was never 'an hour' originally. It was a huge debate between the studio and Roddenberry. Gene wanted it to be a tight-hour long episode, but the studio wanted an epic two-hour showpiece to debut the show.
>>63320211
i know it was never actually filmed to be an hour im talking about the story.
>>63320074
Oh, you're right. I was thinking that Equinox was the name of Annorax's ship
TNG Face of the Enemy
A Troi episode that's actually good
>it's a dukat episode
How about this one? S02E09 The Measure of a Man
>>63318394
that episode makes no sense if you stop to think about the whole language thing
>>63319064
ds9
no far among the stars
>>63323198
it was the closest they could get to a "lel how do we figure out their language" episode that was also watchable/interesting.
>>63323198
Its hard to showcase a language that works by communicating using references then normal dialogue, whats funny to note is that our civilizations are becoming more and more like them.

"Ethics" was a fantastic episode for Beverly getting absolutely BTFO.
>>63323508
exactly, the tamarians literally communicated through "memes - the language"
>>63323508
no they fucking aren't

Who mourns Morn...
At least he had a good life, with lots of women and money.
>>63326436
>morns more interesting then most of the main cast
>says nothing
Captains Holiday bar none.
It's Picard being grumpy at all the women that want to fuck him while he just wants to be boring and read books by the pool.
"Commander, tell me about your sexual organs."
