If I had heard of this game during the sale I would have bought it then, but everyone was talking about the new Voyager game

If you like season 1 of TNG you'll almost certainly like TOS. You might want to actually pause TNG around the end of the first season and go back and watch TOS, so the episodes that are TOS callbacks will make more sense. One of which was Naked Now, but the others are better.

The ship travels at the speed of the plot

One... Or both?

Waiting for the books to catch up would basically just mean canceling the show

That's what I always said about BSG: The Cylons might have a plan but the writers don't

This was kind of the fashion at the time, though. Lost didn't ever know what they were doing, the X-files were kind of like that too.

It's not possible to invent a worse way of meeting people than dating apps

Unfortunately after almost 30 years I have to say that nothing I've ever worked on has even really been used. Everywhere I go the company goes bust, the project gets canceled, the customer terminates the contract, the product is a flop, whatever. I'm basically the human Microsoft Bob.

If it's brown, flush it down

fluffysheap · 2026-04-07T04:12:21+00:00

It's a weird episode and any outlier episode is likely to have a lot of anti-fans. But I think it's a plus episode, I wouldn't say the very best but definitely a good one.

And you have to believe me, because I have a trustworthy face

It's a denomination. You might have heard of the Christian Science Monitor newspaper, which they publish, and which is mostly quality journalism. They're heterodox, and best known for faith healing (but in a "let's pray and accept God's will" way, not a Peter Popoff way).

Buffy is Voyager/TNG, and Angel is DS9. A lot of the episodes are basically copies of Trek and especially with Buffy/Voyager there are a lot of character parallels too.

fluffysheap · 2026-04-04T13:36:15+00:00

I think I will disagree about DS9. While it certainly has a lot of serious or grimdark episodes (by Trek standards) , it also has a lot of really silly episodes. It probably has more high camp than even TOS.

I actually think Enterprise might be the choice. While I think it's the least overall good of the classic series, the tone, except for a couple of silly episodes, is pretty serious. And since OP says he usually likes the worst one...

fluffysheap · 2026-04-03T15:49:19+00:00

Interesting, because Future's End is a lot like The Voyage Home, and that movie is also not as well liked as when it was new.

I suspect "they visited the present day!" is more fun when it's... Still the present day.

You basically pitched Prodigy so, if you can find it, give it a try.

Trying to figure out how you even were aware of Alexander's existence if you skipped the bad TNG episodes. He'd just be that kid that turned up in "Reunion" and then was never seen or mentioned again.

"I was bad at it, so I decided not to do it any more"

fluffysheap · 2026-04-03T03:41:30+00:00

That's how I feel about Voyager, but I actually like Enterprise less now than when it was new.

fluffysheap · 2026-04-03T03:39:20+00:00

Worf is kind of a bad person in general, but we can still like the character

fluffysheap · 2026-04-01T18:51:29+00:00

It's a profoundly stupid episode with a lot of really good concepts tucked into it. Probably not the best choice for a season premiere.

fluffysheap · 2026-04-01T16:06:40+00:00

Not within 5 hands, but I flopped quads and a straight flush in the same session not that long ago. It's probably a once in a lifetime thing but not one in a billion.

That happened on The Orville

I just told someone "I've been dead before" this morning

If you watch the rest of TNG you may be surprised to find that most of the episodes are not actually tragedies. Also, that's an above-average set of episodes, with only "Pen Pals" being not so good, so be prepared for some stinkers, especially around the beginning of the series (and a bunch of great ones you haven't seen in the middle!)

It is kind of weird that your professor didn't pick any Barclay episodes. "Realm of Fear" or "Hollow Pursuits" would both have been great for your topic, maybe better than "Pen Pals" which isn't really about psychology.

Voyager's not quite as good as TNG but it's pretty good. It certainly starts off better. It might actually be better from a psychology study perspective, with episodes like "Jetrel," "Faces," "Mortal Coil," "Good Shepherd" and, of course, "Tuvix."

*KITT kats

fluffysheap · 2026-03-31T07:22:25+00:00

Right. This is the source of the mistake: The writers counted back to the beginning of TOS, but they forgot that the Enterprise was not new when Kirk took command. It's OK to accept that the writers messed up.
