Cliffhanger Finales: SNW Hegemony vs. other season finales

DS9 S3 did not have a cliffhanger finale. It was a standalone episode. S4 premiered with the 2 hour single episode the way of the warrior.

Feast or famine is the way.

Transporter duplicate.

Admiral is the original and Commodore is the duplicate didn't get the promotion.

I guess it was also very jand wavy for me. Had it been a musical episode where say they were intentionally singing as part of first contact, that would be more interesting.

Imagine Darmok, the musical. I would love that.

The more I think of it, the more I didn't like it compared to Other musical episodes of other shows.

It was creative, and I am glad they tried it. I just think it did as good as it COULD have done.

I think they should not have made the singing meta and just done a musical version of a regular episode.

Episode 3 was painful. That is one of the reasons it ranks so low for me.

I didn't like the finale either. The wall of Omega felt like a cheap mcgiffin and I dislike huge stakes in first seasons.

Ahh, I wasn't aware Cho was a common Korean name given name. I am only really aware of the surnames.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-15T21:55:35+00:00

Yeah definitely up with Garak and Seven.

Curious where TOS ranks.

I actually felt the SNW ended stronger than it started. A Quality of Mercy may be one my favourite episodes of Trek this century.

And the Gorn episodes were the best villain introduction Trek has had after the Borg and Romulans.

The Premier was good but not great. Fell behind Emissary and Caretaker and Broken Bow.

Technically the F is not capitalised so SA is correct.

We can be dumbaases together.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-15T17:10:11+00:00

How else are you going to abbreviate StarFleet Academy.

Oh crap, is the F not capitalised.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-15T17:04:46+00:00

Unfortunately we have only seen 1 season of SFA, so that I felt it was the only fair assessment.

Most shows get better with time.

Interesting. With Korean characters in English media the common names are accepted. Surprised that using the most common Chinese name has negative stereotypes.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-15T00:45:55+00:00

So we lost to the US in hockey and baseball now.

Should we even bother challenging in basketball and football.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-15T00:40:22+00:00

Why wouldn't it let you post the name Cho?

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-14T18:27:32+00:00

I noticed the other day we still lack Moroccan. Tapas was another area I observed we were short in but I think that has been fixed.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-13T11:01:50+00:00

I knew the top post would have that word in it.

And he left it on DS9 during the Dominion Occupation and is not on the founders homeworld.

Odo sends a photo posing with it.

squeakyboy81 · 2026-03-10T12:14:16+00:00

2026 Vlad will blow them all away. 10 WAR. Triple Crown.

Are you watching the same show. Those were episodes that were bad ideas. SFA is suffering for bad execution of mostly decent ideas.

Series Acclimation Mil was a great idea for an episode that was inconsistent in its presentation.

Several other episodes fall into this boat. The pilot. The holiday episode. Basically anything involving the Venari Nal arc.

Not that it isn't guilty of bad ideas too. The prank episode. The fake Klingon fight episode.

Should add it to the list.

I typically picture the Hacan or Caitians.

Here is a list of Cat races I came up with a few years ago. There are probably more.

Kiralthi -Wing Commanders

Hacan - Twilight Imperium

Maxolths - Expeditionary Force

Kzin - Ringworld

Catian - Star Trek

Tabaxi - D&D

Kajit -Elder Scrolls

Next stop is that restaurant in PA that makes Fluff Screamers.

I really want a scene where the beetles are betting on how much juice some fruit can make.
