Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gradine" data-source="post: 9753461" data-attributes="member: 57112">Finished a few more episodes, random thoughtsTwo things right away that I love:(a) Starfleet has Time Cops(b) They consider Kirk an absolutely historical menaceThe lighting, the sets, the color grading, the props, costumes, hair and makeup, everything in that episode in the past was 100% impeccable, literally no notes."I'm a doctor, not a historian" rofl no way they didn't just have him say that out loud, shut your face"He's so handsome in person.""Yeah, Kirk had a bit of a reputation as a lady's man""No, not Kirk... Spock" Perfect in every way"We do not discuss it with outsiders" is absolutely, 100% top-tier trolling by the writers. Just like.... stopping just shy of Worf turning to the camera and saying "it just is, get over it nerds". Belongs in the Hall of Fame alongside all-timers like Big Trouble in Little China's "How did you get up there?" "Wasn't easy!" exchange."He had the hands of a surgeon" they are really letting Terry Farrell get feral this season and I for one am here for it.Bajorans are freaking weird, I guess "open relationship" was a bridge too far in the 90's but at least they have some healthy breakup rituals."Rom?""...Rom!?" lol yes, get it you king, you absolute mad lad of a FerengiNothing good ever happens on Risa unless it happens off-screen. Do we actually see the vacation? Time for disaster.Part of what helps Star Trek really stand the test of time is how on point and current their social and political commentary was, and coming home last night and watching a Star Trek episode where a self-righteous moralizer starts scolding the socially (and sexually) liberal vacation goers to the point of actually threatening violence hit different, as the youths would say.That said, the bad in this episode in particular:Wow, these are two people who absolutely do not belong together, like obviously the attraction is there but he takes his tantrum that far and you think you can reconcile? You think that it's worth it? Don't get me wrong, the bit of backstory about why Worf is such a humorless stick in the mud compared to... literally every other Klingon was excellent, like it always felt weird about how he always considered himself to be an expert on all things Klingon when he genuinely seems like a terrible Klingon has always been an odd part of his character, and it's nice to see them exploring that more deeply here. But girl. You could do so much better. You don't need to fix him.But seriously, Worf was so terrible for so long in that episode that we, as an audience, were owed getting to see him in the gold spandex bathing suit. You can't just hang that gun on the wall earlier in the episode and then fail to fire it. For this reason alone 1/10, many notes.</blockquote>
