Oct 10, 2026, 6:31 AMthis episode (s01e07) is about this cunt.
I DO like Q as a character and episodes with him (or at least what I've absorbed from culture + lower decks).
however, if I were in starfleet, my reaction to seeing Q would be much like the lower decks characters reacted: "oh my god this motherfucker. get the fuck out of here."
Oct 10, 2026, 6:33 AMalso I have been spending a lot of time on wikipedia familiarizing myself with 1) when various star treks were released 2) when they're set.
I keep thinking DS9 was one I like, just missed and SHOULD have been watching growing up. and then I remember it's 1993-1999 and I'm like "okay yes, makes sense, I was busy with Barney at the time".
Oct 10, 2026, 6:34 AMit turns out that when I was ideal Star Trek watching age, there was in fact nothing new on offer besides the reboot films. not ideal!
I did catch some re-runs, watched Wrath of Khan with my dad once. but there was no like, Series Out Right Then to grow up with, if that makes sense.
Oct 10, 2026, 6:35 AMand the old TV I was primarily exposed to was M*A*S*H, which my dad watched constantly. still does, in fact!
Oct 10, 2026, 6:36 AMI guess Enterprise was up at least part of that time. idk if I've heard opinions on that, or if I remember them if I have.
the plan ultimately is to watch Everything, largely chronologically. but We'll See with some of the iffier stuff, when I discover/rediscover it.
Oct 10, 2026, 6:47 AM@LexYeen I feel like I heard something of this. especially against DS9 and Voyager which I know are well loved.
@lune Enterprise has its fans, which I don't have beef with.
Rick Berman, on the other hand?
I just want to have a very loud discussion with him. In a soundproofed room. With props.
Oct 10, 2026, 9:39 AM@LexYeen see this I've heard consistently from other people. along with one of the series doing much worse after he was primarily focused on it.
@lune That would be mine too. "Oh my gods, don't you have /anything/ better to do with your higher-dimensional ass? Fuck /all the way/ off, I'm trying to work."
Oct 10, 2026, 6:34 AM@LexYeen yeah! like there's enough bullshit happening on the daily in star trek without the guy going out of his way to do MORE bullshit.
@lune "Hello, /mortal./ Fancy playing a g-" *SPRITZ* "-ame. ...Water? Really?"
"It works on misbehaving cats. Go bother Picard more, ya putz."
