Umm... looks like I dropped the ball last week. I only watched like seven episodes. To be fair, I had a lot going on. I fully expect that this week will be a lot more productive. And, by productive, I mean that I will watch like twenty episodes of Star Trek.
26- THE NEUTRAL ZONE
-The crew comes across a ship-full of human popsicles. Does this happen in EVERY Star Trek?Seriously. I can think of three instances right now.
-Guess who's back! Woohoo-- it's the Romulans!
SEASON TWO
27- THE CHILD
-This is Guinan, Pulaski, and Riker’s
Beard’s first episode.
-Basically, Troi becomes impregnated with an alien life-form who turns into an adorable betazoid child.
-Everyone's in trouble. Surprise! Riker's trying to separate the saucer section. Just kidding, that's not a surprise.
28- WHERE SILENCE HAS LEASE
-This is the episode wherein the Enterprise gets sucked into a crazy, never-ending blackness.
-This one feels A LOT like an episode of TOS. I love it.
29- ELEMENTARY MY DEAR DATA
-Geordi and Data are LARPing a Sherlock Holmes mystery in the holodeck. Good times.
-Man, Dr. Pulaski keeps giving Data all this crap. WTF.
-Ok, this is a little embarrassing to admit but I JUST REALIZED (after 25 years of watching this show) that Dr. Pulaski is totally the Bones to Data's Spock.
30- THE OUTRAGEOUS OKONA
-The Enterprise helps out a rogueish
space guy.
-Ok, this guy is pretty much Mal.
-Go home, Mal! Save Serenity! What are you doing here?
31- LOUD AS A WHISPER
- This is the first place I saw
another deaf person besides my uncle. I had intended to write an entire post about this so maybe I'll come back to it later.
32- THE SCHIZOID MAN
-This episode is worth watching just to see Data grow a beard.

| Well, I guess you don't so much need to watch it now. Sorry 'bout that. |
33- UNNATURAL SELECTION
- It's a pretty straight-forward "everyone's suddenly getting real old" episode.
- I actually totally love this one because of all the Pulaski stuff. She has a great arc here with Picard.
34- A MATTER OF HONOR
-Riker volunteers for the officer exchange program on a Klingon ship. Why? Because no one's ever done it before! Awesome!
-This is really the first time we've ever spent a whole lot of time with Klingons. These guys are hilarious.
-I love how much has been added to the Klingon mythology.
Your posts always give me good ideas for what to watch next. I've been hanging out in season 5 this week, but I think I'll watch Where Silence Has Lease tonight- it's been a while!
ReplyDeleteI'm woefully behind.
ReplyDeleteliterally could not stand dr. pulaski because all she did was give data shit. don't know if you watch castle, but down the line in the series a new captain comes along and keeps giving nathan fillion shit. i kept trying to figure out who she reminded me of. your post helped me remember. i feel like writing a song about how i hate these two women but don't want to say it out loud because it's probably sexist to dislike mean, bossy women...
