I just finished up season 5! :-) There’s some good episodes in there.

That’s normally my reaction to that as well, so I was expecting to feel the same here. So I was very surprised when I actually enjoyed the episode! There were a few numbers that didn’t really work for me, but overall it worked for me. There was some interesting character development in the episode. I can definitely understand the negative reaction though! My spouse couldn’t stand it either.

Exactly! The smaller ship and crew complement is great for that.

I watched from TNG 5x15 up to 6x05 in the last week. I’m not watching much else at the moment, so every evening my spouse and I sit down and watch a few. It’s been fun!

I was wondering if we would get any recent episodes on the list! It was a good episode.

That is a good ship! They were in service for quite a long time, I’m assuming with major systems upgrades like the B-52 has gotten. It’s very impressive that the Miranda was in service from the original NCC-1701 clear up to the Enterprise-E at least! Obviously they had no chance of keeping up with the top of the line ships at that point, but in universe they must have been a very solid platform for upgrades.

I’ve always been partial to the Constitution, preferably the TOS but also the SNW version. The Ambassador is another, and I also like the Crossfield other than the spinning saucer and ultra long naceles!

I do remember that being a good episode. I like the Romulan ships too, the D’deridex is my favorite non Starfleet ship.

I remember it being one of the first episodes to catch my attention when I first watched TNG years ago!

That was definitely a good episode! I’m doing a TNG rewatch, and I actually watched that episode yesterday.

It certainly was an intriguing concept, it would be interesting if there were more episodes like that. Something along the lines of the movie Arrival maybe.

It is an enjoyable way to contribute to the OSM project! I mostly use JOSM or the iD editor for mapping, but when I only have my phone I’ll pull out StreetComplete and do a few quests.

For beginners to mapping, it’s a very easy way to contribute without the worry of messing up something!

One thing on TNG that always bugs me is when they know something is wrong or they lose contact with Starfleet personnel, and the Enterprise goes to warp 7 instead of maximum warp! It’s not until there’s an extreme emergency that they go to maximum, and often they could have avoided that emergency by showing up a half hour earlier. I know they came up with the whole warp speed limit thing, but it’s still something I notice.

Something that’s not an in-universe thing but still bugs me is the writer’s lack of acknowledgement of three dimensional space and orbital mechanics. It’s an issue with much of science fiction though.

That’s the best part! Although in rare cases the flicker of recognition the other person has can mean you found an interesting person to talk to!

I have been known to do the same! It’s a lot of fun to work Trek references into everyday conversation.

The “Well Hello!” he gives Weyoun 8 when he walks in is good too!

Weyoun 5 was my favorite. His scene where he plays dabo, drinks the poisoned kanar, and watches Sisko and Dukat argue is great.

Damar’s first meeting with Weyoun 8 always gives me a laugh though!

I don’t believe there were any explanations made outside of the information we were given in the Enterprise episodes. We do know a fair bit about them from that though.

I believe it’s probably entirely coincidental that they look a bit like the Changelings, it’s just because of the smooth hairless look they were going for. Other than being defeated by the Federation in the future, they don’t have a lot of similarities.

I’m doing TNG myself! I just finished DS9 though, so I’m probably going to do Voyager next.

I always got the impression the writing team was starting to run out of ideas during Voyager and Enterprise. There were some very good episodes, but as you mentioned, there were a lot of copies.
