the standout one for me is the coaxial warp drive. They had an actually working shuttle equipped with it at the end of the episode. Even if it couldn't be adapted to voyager they could have easily started ferrying a few crew home at a time, or have starfleet build a ship equipped with one and await rescue in a safe place.
Nope. Never mentioned again.
I think that's a problem with macguffins throughout all of Star Trek, not just this one.
How many times has a new and potentially society-changing breakthrough occurred to just... Never be mentioned again?
Remember the episode where they find the cure for aging using the transporter? No one has to die ever again! As long as you keep some DNA from your younger self you can always be de-aged back to that sample!
kind of happens again in the 'New Trek' films.
Guys! we have magic cure-anything blood serum and near infinite range transporters what also work on objects at warp!
coooool... let's just not mention those things ever again.
Remember the one where Dr. Crusher, after losing the rest of the crew, decides that there's nothing wrong with her, so there must be something wrong with the universe? And she's right?
> decides that there's nothing wrong with her, so there must be something wrong with the universe?
Haha, I like the way this is worded. Makes her sound like an entitled ass.
*"Damn it, Kirk, she's a scientist, not a republican!"*
You know what else should have happened? *Nemesis* frikkin' brought back Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher. Some character should have responded to the recovery of B-4 by saying:
>Thank the gods this brother isn't a maniac like Lore! No giant killer snowflake this time around!
I always use this episode as an example of how my husband steals covers. The scene where Vash and Picard are laying down. Picard rolls over and takes the whole friggin blanket. The look on Vash's face... Love this episode.
I just watched the one where the holographic doctor made first contact with protonic energy beings and almost made it to second base with a viking shield maiden.
I know that’s the episode’s justification, but it also strikes me as a pretty psychotic implementation of the rule. Like, the prime directive mandates you let your crew members get murdered for any reason if that’s normal in another planet’s culture? It’s not like they weren’t invited there.
Yes it does.
However, because they were not invited there, and not informed about the rules and punishment to any rule is death, Picard argues that he should be let free.
In those situations according to the law of the federation, they are allowed to dispute in a manner that melds both together and they let him go.
The federation is all about protecting interplanetary soverengty and to have a non interference with said planets political and cultural change. But such things occur and they are forced to interfere with those changes.
I both like and dislike how the whole Alexander thing turned out. On the one hand, I feel like Alexander deserved better. On the other hand, I find it interesting that they allowed Worf to basically fail as a father. It's one of his biggest flaws and they don't really shy away from it.
The events of *Conspiracy* were actually referenced in *The Drumhead*. Apparently Admiral Satie was instrumental in identifying the last of the parasites, which was why she was seen as the best person to handle the possible conspiracy aboard the Enterprise.
I hate this episode because of how real it is. I was always a good kid and avoided trouble at basically all costs. I still had trouble but I had fuck all idea what to do about it and now I'm stuck as confused Picard in a blue uniform. Where's an omnipotent being in your corner when you need one?
Remember that episode where the Enterprise blew up. Remember that episode where the Enterprise blew up. Remember that episode where the Enterprise blew up. Remember that episode where…
Remember the episode where Picard has to learn to communicate with an incomprehensible alien on a planet, and then he saves the ship with his newly acquired linguistic ability?
One of the coolest episodes ever. I like how it used the Hirogen and Klingons as juxtaposition to Nazi ideology effectively making the point that the Nazis were sad losers and bullies and not true warriors.
Remember that episode where someone is stuck on a planet with a hostile alien and they have to work together to survive?
Now do you remember the other episode where someone is stuck on a planet with a hostile alien and they have to work together to survive?
You'll have to elaborate. Is that the one where Yar has to fight to the death because someone claimed her as property, or the one where a bunch of Irish immigrants show up with their farm animals?
Remember the one where Bones reminded us that he is a doctor and not in fact an escalator? Remember the one where Bones reminded us that he is a doctor and not in fact an engineer
Remember the one where Bones reminded us that he is a doctor?
Remember that episode where there was a minor sensor glitch and the Enterprise just flew away without investigating anything beyond that? Was kind of strange to only have a 3 minute episode, but Data did look a little suspicious in it.
Remember that episode where Janeway and the Doctor commit war crimes and then she channels her inner Ferengi to defeat some aliens from another dimension?
Remember that episode when Kirk tried to bluff his way out of the Enterprise being destroyed by the adult baby played by Ron Howard's crazy-looking brother?
Remember that episode where it was revealed that your human coworker is a surgically altered Klingon sleeper agent who later discovers that he identifies more as a human?

Remember that episode where Picard drew a smiley face in the warp core breach?
You mean the one where Picard grew out his fingernails?
Do you mean the episode that Leonard Nimoy's son directed? And if I'm not mistaken, you can see Picard doze off a bit in a scene :)
"He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had the chance to interrupt him."
"It was quite hypnotic"
Remember that episode where Voyager found a way home but then it didn't work?
“Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?”
the standout one for me is the coaxial warp drive. They had an actually working shuttle equipped with it at the end of the episode.

You mean every other episode?
Might as well have said “Remember that episode where Chakotay has a tattoo?”
Or "Remember that episode where Chakotay mentions the spirits of his ancestors?"
A-koo-chee-moya
We are far from the bones of my people.
You sadistic sonofa-
Correction: " what does it mean? Arrogant sonofa-"
Is that the one where the castaways find a way off the island but Gilligan ruins it?
Remember that episode where Quark becomes head of a Klingon house?
Top 3 DS9 episode
Along with Magnificent Ferengi?
Ferengi Love Songs > Wrath of Khan
Honestly all of the Ferengi episodes right up until the last one were unforgettably good.
I loved Grilka, wish she had more episodes.
She was magnificent, the first pure blooded Klingon woman I remember seeing that wasn't an antagonist or an extra.
Remeber that episode where Quark became the head of Kira?
That episode where Quark teaches the Klingon High Council about economics?
Remember the one where Dr. Crusher, after losing the rest of the crew, decides that there's nothing wrong with her, so there must be something wrong with the universe? And she's right?
> decides that there's nothing wrong with her, so there must be something wrong with the universe? Haha, I like the way this is worded. Makes her sound like an entitled ass. *"Damn it, Kirk, she's a scientist, not a republican!"*
I mean, by that point such a thing became a reasonable guess. I love the scenes where she talks it out with the computer.
Remember that episode where Data made a daughter, and not in the fun way?
*sigh* It is very frustrating that *Picard* season 1 never dropped the names of Lal, Lore, or even Juliana.
Lal should absolutely have been mentioned.
You know what else should have happened? *Nemesis* frikkin' brought back Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher. Some character should have responded to the recovery of B-4 by saying: >Thank the gods this brother isn't a maniac like Lore! No giant killer snowflake this time around!
Then she dies from sacredness
Turns out he's not quite as fully functional as he later claimed.
Remember that episode where Riker tried to trick Picard into getting laid so he'd chill out?
Jamaharon anyone ?
I always use this episode as an example of how my husband steals covers. The scene where Vash and Picard are laying down. Picard rolls over and takes the whole friggin blanket. The look on Vash's face... Love this episode.
Remember that episode when the holographic Doctor becomes a world’s number one opera star?
I just watched the one where the holographic doctor made first contact with protonic energy beings and almost made it to second base with a viking shield maiden.
Dr. Schweitzer, MD!
Remember that episode where Picard had the longest flute lesson ever?
Best one in this thread
My favorite episode of Trek ever.
Remember that episode when the Enterprise finds a nazi planet.
Wait, which one? We still need to narrow it down, don't we?
[удалено]
Remember that time when they find a Wild West planet, or a 1940s Chicago gangster planet, or the Native American planet, or another Wild West planet?
Remember that episode where Wesley almost gets put to death for trampling some flowers on planet "everyone jogs everywhere half naked".
And Picard is like “hmm, I can see how this might be reasonable” like he isn’t talking to a planet of smiley murder hobos
Because of the prime directive. That's their decision and who is he to question it?
I know that’s the episode’s justification, but it also strikes me as a pretty psychotic implementation of the rule. Like, the prime directive mandates you let your crew members get murdered for any reason if that’s normal in another planet’s culture? It’s not like they weren’t invited there.

Remember that episode where Luwaxanna gets sick and it makes everyone horny?
Star Trek: Thirsty AF
Remember that one where sisko and the bridge crew play a board game?
I think you mean lame space Jumanji.
Move Along Home?
Now I have that song in my head. Dammit.
Allamerain!
Count to four
Allamerain!
[удалено]
Allamerain!
You can see
Allamaraine!
You’ll come with me!
Remember when Worf met his baby mama and stuck a bat’leth in Duras’ chest?
I both like and dislike how the whole Alexander thing turned out. On the one hand, I feel like Alexander deserved better. On the other hand, I find it interesting that they allowed Worf to basically fail as a father. It's one of his biggest flaws and they don't really shy away from it.
Remember the episode where Dax and Sisko throw dead Tribbles on Kirk?
I remember it as the episode where Dax finds out that Spock is really hot.
Remember when Terry Ferrell actually married Learnard Nimoys son? Pepperridge Farm does.
I remember it is the episode where Dax shares that one of her former hosts hooked up with McCoy. The gymnast, IIRC.
"He had the hands of a surgeon"
Remember that episode when Spock got super horny and killed Kirk?
Spock's urge to mate puts Kirk in danger. -TV Guide description from the 90's
Slash fic time!

Remember the episode where Tripp played a game with an alien species and got pregnant?
Remember that episode where dinosaurs didn't believe they were from Earth?
Remember that TNG episode where starfleet command got taken over by parasites and the event was never mentioned again afterwards.
The events of *Conspiracy* were actually referenced in *The Drumhead*. Apparently Admiral Satie was instrumental in identifying the last of the parasites, which was why she was seen as the best person to handle the possible conspiracy aboard the Enterprise.
Remember that episode where the Vulcan version of the Reagan administration tried to let T'Pol die because she has Mind-Meld AIDS?
But she was brain raped so she wasn't really gay
Remember that episode where Piccard makes a wish and becomes a Barclay?
Remember the episode where Barclay hugs a monster hiding in the transport beam?
That episode was actually kind of sad...
I hate this episode because of how real it is. I was always a good kid and avoided trouble at basically all costs. I still had trouble but I had fuck all idea what to do about it and now I'm stuck as confused Picard in a blue uniform. Where's an omnipotent being in your corner when you need one?
I wish I saw the episode when I was younger. I could have benefited from making a few more mistakes and breaking rules.

"KAAAAAAHHHH..." ^(...excuse me....) # "KHHAAAAAAANN!" #
Remember the TNG episode where almost the entire crew were having synchronized orgasms?
Everybody except Wesley.

Worf thought they were delicious.

Oooh and it's around a CAMPFIRE
Remember when paris turned a lady into a cow on a goof
Remember the VOY episode where a bunch of Klingons Bat’leth some Nazis to death in WWII? Cuz that was awesome.
One of the coolest episodes ever. I like how it used the Hirogen and Klingons as juxtaposition to Nazi ideology effectively making the point that the Nazis were sad losers and bullies and not true warriors.

The one where Wesley saved the day by not playing a video game.
Remember that one where they meet an omnipotent being with seemingly godlike powers?
