Star Trek: The Next Generation

[straightorbroken]

I see Forge's floozy whatserface has quietly just slotted in. At least have her spill a few more coffees first.

 

[straightorbroken]

The Parkleds rubber band broke. I assume Forge was referring to their AI. Gosh, I'd have hung up based on that introduction.

 

[straightorbroken]

Worf to displace Riker as FO. Seems weird that Troi's magic vadge was asleep on first contact.

 

[straightorbroken]

Needy Wesley just plain rude here.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm over this Bilbo Baggins gang.

 

[straightorbroken]

They would have protocol to avoid this farce. I'm not buying any of this.

 

[COB]

The Pakleds recently returned on Lower Decks, where their status as stupid rubbish baddies was turned on its head a bit

 

[straightorbroken]

That's good to hear. They look like they have potential to be most unsettling.

I still have the very end of this episode to catch as I left Picard having his Ofred Handmaid's Tale moment when I went to my last Glasgow workout #tears4tiers

 

[straightorbroken]

Glad Picard survived the op (which amusingly looked a bit like Polaski had just fisted him). Meanwhile...

S2: E18 | Up the Long Ladder

With the close-up of Worf's subtly indicated discomfort I really wanted to hear a voiceover asking "ever suffered from bloating and diarrhoea in the workplace?"

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Worf, you big softy. Polaski is certainly lapping it up.

 

[straightorbroken]

Good lord at Riker's slow-witted love story volume 5.

 

[straightorbroken]

I assumed I was onto episode 19 given the new nonsense: being stomach injected through clothing (the real reason so many people went missing in BHS changing rooms and the eventual store closure).

 

[straightorbroken]

Well I hope Picard 2.0 emerges naked at least. Unlikely given previous google image searches didn't produce much (ahem, so I've heard).

 

[straightorbroken]

So Riker has his merry way with space alien Linda Martin and now sends her off to make a mating alliance with at least 3 of the cloners. What a cad that granny's crumpet is.

 

[straightorbroken]

Hot Neptune is back. I wonder if he'll ever do more than stand outside doors.

 

[straightorbroken]

Miss Odell, what sassy caricature she is. If I close my eyes, it's like listening to an outtake from dUb's podcast.

 

[straightorbroken]

S2: E19 | Manhunt

Frozen fish people already upstaged by Troi's shy mother.

 

[straightorbroken]

I think they've done up the credits a bit.

 

[straightorbroken]

I assume Mama Troi is wearing contacts if not underwear.

 

[straightorbroken]

And she's about to eat Picard alive, or at least I hope.

 

[straightorbroken]

I can't believe Patrick Stewart is 178cm as I've been thinking he was pocket sized, which isn't great as I'm the same height it seems.

 

[straightorbroken]

Mama Troi's magic vadge clearly a bit rusty if she's getting it so wrong about her dinner date.

 

[straightorbroken]

It's not as if her giant butler won't be more equipped to the task.

 

[straightorbroken]

Jeez, 80s test audiences must have just loved these 40s forays. Then again, I was a House of Elliot fan.

 

[straightorbroken]

Yet again over 50s female sexuality as grotesque, a little backward and unfortunate for this show.

S2: E19 | Manhunt

Frozen fish people already upstaged by Troi's shy mother.

One of the fish people is played by Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood.

 

[straightorbroken]

One of the fish people is played by Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood.

They have yet to feature since their arrival.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh here they are. They talk like drowning Atari. And now gorging like Geru in George Michael's bin.

 

[straightorbroken]

Mama Troi falling for this hologram thing: I'm glad Picard has told her as that was getting a tad sad.

 

[straightorbroken]

Terrorists!

 

[straightorbroken]

Well obviously Kate Bush was a fan, but those fish people were completely pointless.

 

[straightorbroken]

S2: E20 | The Emissary

What the devil is going on?

I like the phrasing "class 8 probe" and think I'll adapt it in a way that is simply too obvious to elaborate on.

 

[straightorbroken]

I suppose I should google the colour rankings, but I'd very much hope to have the blue uniform if I were a SO (I'm currently a so-so "lmao").

 

[straightorbroken]

This half Klingon woman is more half Jess Glynne half Glyn Big Brother.

 

[straightorbroken]

The Klingon sexual barbarism is a little on the gross side. Her gym garb though.. very Frida.

 

[straightorbroken]

I am very much enjoying their dialogue now. It really is to the 80s at times what Maude was to the 70s.

 

[straightorbroken]

When you're 21 you're no fun

S2: E21 | Peak Performance

Zakdorns a cross between Uncle Fester and Danny DeVito's penguin janitor-style.

 

[straightorbroken]

I can see the make-up sliding down

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Weasle. Not fake tan.

 

[straightorbroken]

Hello impatient ginger.
