This is part 1 in a 2 part series where I review some episodes of Star Trek, this one is on The Next Generation, while part 2 will be on Star Trek: Voyager! I plan to do Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Star Trek The Original Series in a 2 parter in the future. But if I actually will is debatable.
Enjoy!

Glad to see you back, as a cat companion myself, my sincerest condolences to you for Sid's departure
Aww, RIP Sid
Wait, what? Oh god, I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Miss khajeet everyday
Oh no! I hadn’t heard. I’ll miss Sid too.
I just stumbled upon this channel, loving Star Trek, and 3 days ago my 16-year-old cat passed away. So a lot of sympathy and empathy for you
As a star trek nerd this is gonna be interesting
Sad to hear about sid may he rest in peace in pet heaven
It is sad to hear khajeet is gone
Did I miss something? When did Sid leave us?
Your mother is here
what ? well thanks for spoiling it... never reading the comments again
Hearing about someones cat's death is a goddam spoiler??????!!!!
Out of morbid curiosity I went and looked up the writing credits on Memory Alpha and I think I found the secret to why it's so bad. It's essentially fan fiction that got turned into an actual episode.
It's almost literally a ripoff of the Anne Rice novel Lasher. It's like combined fanfic of that story and Star Trek.
That explains the camel toes.
I'm sorry what?
.....Yeah...yeah that seems about right
@@HilbertGB the what!?
I don't know why I haven't discovered "What if young David Bowie was a You-Tube comedian in the 2020's" before now but this is top tier stuff right here, especially for us seasoned Star Trek fans.
Only 43 seconds in and have to point out that this is TOTALLY unbelievable. Picard would NEVER follow ANY suggestion Worf would have made.
Don't forget that Worf can also never win a physical battle.
but this picard had hair .. I bet that is the reason why he followed Worfs suggestion.
@@bearnaff9387 every adventure where he can is ended right there. Worf just beats everyone up and there is nothing to watch.
The one time he did, the Enterprise exploded and got stuck in a time loop until he went with Data's choice.
@@reichjef
Actually with Riker's choice.
Sorry for losing your cat man I am sure he is relaxing on the warm sands of Heaven
RIP Sid.
Lets be honest we all remember this:
ua-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/v-deo.html
I just lost mine as well, it honestly hurts worse than when my dad died, we can only hope Wally and Sid are together somewhere. But star trek was always my comfort show as a kid, so this seems fortuitous in its own way.
Wait, what? Noooooo!
NOOOOO NOT SID
Honestly you summarise exactly WHY Lower Decks is such a great thing. They really refer to the absurdity of this stuff happening ALL the time: (ensigns log: the captain got taken over by an ancient alien mask... AGAIN)
Not to forget the "always changing Starfleet uniforms" joke at the recrutement kiosk
I remember reading one Star Trek book by Peter David, "Q, Squared", I believe, and the crew has an outside observer from the Federation show up for that exact reason, to question the crew and figure out just WHY all this weird shit keeps happening to them; "Captain, you encounter temporal anomalies at over TEN TIMES the standard fleet average and you get in to situations we don't even have a name for. Just what the hell is an 'inverse causality loop'??"
@@artemis5168 It's a cool idea, because there's only two options - either the Enterprise encounters way too much weird stuff; or every other ship is like this too, and space in general is horrifying.
@@FTZPLTC Yeah, in the book the main reason the Enterprise keeps encountering so much weird stuff is because Trelane, Squire of Gothos (ret), became fascinated by the original Enterprise after his encounter with Kirk, and because of that developed a morbid fascination with the subsequent ones and basically kept playing with any ship named "Enterprise". Not a great explanation, but it's something. lol
I know right. A lot of new trek really sucks but the throw backs in Lower Decks is FUCKING hilarious and we'll played
My grandmother passed just last week. I was helping clearing out her effects, so this hits a little closer to home than I would normally have to acknowledge. Whether or not we want to admit it, our ancestors got down.
Sorry for your loss man. Did...... Did you happen to find a journal by any chance?
@@danielmcelhatton1724 scarier than that, I found audio tapes. They're reel-to-reel, and it might be a blessing in disguise that I don't have any hardware to play them.
@@WayneWalton
I'm sorry but for science you *need* to find out what's on them
What always surprised me most about this show by the time I'd watched the final episode is that the ship didn't have an entire dedicated insane asylum wing. What those poor bastards have seen and experienced is leagues beyond what even the most hardened spacefarers could ever be reasonably expected to endure. In one episode, most of the crew had their evolution forcefully and rapidly reversed, Riker once had to experience every single negative memory he'd ever had in the form of dreams to fight off a parasitic infection. Hell, in the first episode Picard had to try and craft a compelling argument with no preparation to convince Q to not straight up kill all humans everywhere, instantly.
The reason Starfleet personnel seem so well-adjusted is because the Federation has perfected mind-control and routinely erase traumatic memories of events suffered by crew members.
In the TOS episode "Dagger of the Mind" Kirk goes to a Federation insane asylum. There's a device there that rewrites the brain's neurochemistry synapse by synapse. It's also been accepted as a standard medical practice for long enough that nobody questions it.
That could be part of the reason why so many crew members keep such detailed and up-to-date personal logs. That way they have a record of everything they can't remember but don't have to carry the horror with them.
I think this was supposed to be Troy’s job. She is the ships councilor.
@@Nostripe361 more like the ship's discount psychic hotline that doesn't work half the time.
@@HunterDrone I didn’t say that she was good at. Just that was supposedly her job.
@@Grizabeebles Explains why everyone doesn't seem to have any sense of individuality and likes all the same shit like the strange obsession with classical music and instruments. They're rewritten to.
Khajiit-Named-Sid now walks on the warmest of sands. He'll be in our hearts as well.
Glad to see you back taking on such a damned menace of an episode 😫
@theoritoned6152 Sid sadly passed away 7 months ago he had a lot of illnesses in the last years of his life in his final days his illness got to him and they had him put down
That scream at Riker’s appearance after the beard joke was an INSTANT subscribe from me, cannot wait for the next part!!!
oh god what is that?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favourite part of Sub Rosa is bringing it up when people tell me that Troi was a really good counsellor.
Ah, Dr. Beverly Crusher. Something about her made the writers... insane. They threw her off the show after the first season, then brought her back with practically no fanfare in the third. Her first love affair not Picard centered was a trill - who moved from an alien man to Riker to lesbianism in one episode. Then she was the only one left on the ship while everyone else was removed. And the tap dancing. And those green tights. And then this... stuff. What was it about her? Whatever it was, it made my teenage self fall deeply in love.
Let’s not forget Sub Rosa
From my understanding Gates McFadden left due to cases of sexism originating from some of the producers.
@@0xA9F - If it was Sexism they'd not Replace Her with another Woman.
@@skwills1629 It's possible for people to be sexist without them literally trying to replace every woman with a man. Like Bond girls get a lot of sexist writing, especially in the older James Bond films, doesn't mean sexist writers wanted to replace them with men.
@@skwills1629 Goodness, you aren't very smart are you? Bless you.
Sid was a real gem of a cat. Always loved the little looks he would give during filming. Take care man.
(I’m elated that you did a video about Star Trek.)
I only saw this because it was the first comment visible to me. I only started watching... is Sid dead? ;_;
@@WespectRamen yes, unfortunately yes.
I was excited to see a video about Star Trek until I realized what it was really about
@@GhostOO9
Was it mentioned in the video because I didn't notice.
@@WespectRamen There is a community post that goes more into details.
Gah! I tried to guess which episode you were doing! My first guess was the weird racist African planet in season 1, but this was my 2nd
Thought exactly the same.
I don't recall and I'm horrified
Or that episode in season one where they basically just went to California with a Death Penalty
That episode is really bad for sure, but at least it was somewhat competently written etc, this one is just weird and cringe as hell... The racist episode makes me uncomfortable but this one actually makes me feel dirty just for having witnessed it 😅
The orgy episode would have been pretty funny to.o.
His humor is still unmatched. YT rarely makes me laugh these days, but he never fails to deliver a sweet delight of entertaining videos
Reminds me a lot of boyinaband actually
edit: Wow this comment aged poorly. To be clear: I am referring to the passing facial resemblance and similar comedic styles
He is the chosen one!
its just jontron
Rest in peace, Sid. Truly the star of some of the most iconic moments on this channel.
Dear God, I remember this nightmare of an episode. I had blocked it from my memory as one would any highly traumatic event, but it's all coming back to me now...
Who is this even for?! It’s not good soap opera, not romantic, not erotic,AND NOT SCI-FI ON A SCI-FI SHOW.
Yeah makes me wonder which other episodes were traumatic enough to be blocked. Unfortunately not the one in which Janeway and Paris go so fast they turn into salamanders. Damn it.
@@ThePh34R Isn’t that the one where they have uh, intercourse. Why did you say it, I wasn’t thinking about it until you brought it up.
I feel sorry for the Ghost Alien Thing in Sub Rosa. He clearly loved that bloodline, he didn't actually HARM anyone, in fact, apparently the Grandma lived LONGER than expected, but because Pickard couldn't stand the idea of his sidepiece leaving his crib, they had to nuke him.
He killed the Irish man.
@@romulino In self-defense, if I remember correctly.
Clearly the writers didn't understand that they were writing what is essentially a story about an alien raping the female members of her family for centuries and feeding off them without their consent so there's no wonder that it's a confusing mess.
@@Dunybrook You're right. The problem is that the alien was depicted as genuinely caring, the women seemed to have had a very long life in the process and enjoyed it. There didn't seem to have any downside to his presence.
Picard couldn't stand the fact that Beverly got absolutely railed by someone other than him
Lol. When you read the scripts, they say things like "You can see all the pain of those memories on her face." or "he exists stage left leaving Picard wondering what to do and the weight of these revelations and everything they imply all come crashing down upon him at once." then there's a closeup of Picard making the same concerned face he always makes. It's funny you mention. That's really how the scripts describe it.
My deepest condolences for the loss of Sid. One of the best Khajit I ever knew.
My condolences for losing Sid.❤️
Rest in Paradise.
Ps: I hope you enjoy "The Expanse".
whatt!!!!!!!
hold up a min waht ?
Through this comment section I learned of Sid's passing. He will be missed, forever immortalized as the possibly malicious cat of UpIsNotJump.
Prrrr-adise surely
The Expanse is such a great show, and for the most part very scientifically accurate too! I've heard the books were also pretty amazing too
This is actually the second video I've seen discussing the lunacy of this episode. As I've stated in the comments on that video there was a kooky reason why this episode went off the rails. The Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair witch books suddenly spiked in popularity at that time. This was a clear attempt at shoe horning that popularity into Trek...with disastrous results.
he didn't even fire phasers and photon torpedo's first what a waste of a great ship
I feel special
@@thecalham Me too!
Man, what? I'm seeing the comments and I just can't believe it. Sid's passed? Oh man. I lost my oldest cat this year, she was my biggest company for almost 17 years (and I'm 26, so she's been by my side since I was 9). Sid was my favorite cat actor, only being (unfairly) tied to Salem (cause he was a puppet). I hope you and your wife are okay. Sid will always be remembered and loved, both by you and all of us.
Here's to our favorite Khajiit. ❤️
This guy is honestly one of the few UA-camrs that still makes me laugh, the effort he puts into his videos and quality is great and so are his scripts his analysis of topics are accurate and interesting and overall his videos are great.
Honestly, big same.
Too bad it's so politically charged that it makes his vids unbearable to watch
@@Tex-0517 just about everything in intertainment is now, tried watching a matpat video and he told me to go vote, this channel really isn't bad as far as being politically charged
@@Tex-0517 Lmao what. How is this politically charged.
Seriously. I'm so jaded very little makes me laugh but this guy ... he surprises me
This episode of TNG falls into the "so bad it's actually good" category. It's so bizarre and cheesy I can't help but love it.
No. No it doesn't. I know some people enjoy it for... some reason. But this is basically... Star Trek: Twilight.
Bizarre you say
@@rcslyman8929 atleast you can understand what the characters are saying without subtitles
Trashy Romance Novel IN SPAAAACE!
And don't worry, thanks to BBC America's syndication contract with Paramount, TNG isn't going anywhere in the near future, and you'll be able to relive all your nightmares for years to come!
Excuse me, Voyager not only gave us 7-of-9, the character responsible for my awakening into adulthood from a child (😉) but it also gave us the unflappable duo of Tom and Kim, my favourite duo in all of Trek! (Oh and "The Doctor" of course (not that one))
You misspelled Nelix.
0:35 the worf doll... i lost it there
you know when the content creator is phenomenally entertaining that he puts the sponsor at the end and you end up watching it in its entirety.
And then not buying it, partly because it’s for a laptop that starts at over £3,000!
Back in college I saw an interview with the producer of one of TNG's later seasons and they said they whole time they were shooting one episode, finishing up the script for the next, and brainstorming for ideas for the one after that. That pace really, really showed. Used to watch with a friend of mine and poke fun at it Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.
I think its why TNG so memorable. Campy, bad and or good episodes came out of that process but the writers didn't forget it wasn't about the science but about the characters. You got to plan way to far in the future with a strong built world to get away with something like Babylon 5 did or just say fuck it, and do the direction Voyager even though they did no world building to even give it a chance to be successful.
Hmhm, fascinating indeed. I find it masterful how deep space 9 was able to merge this with a longer story and still have excellent character focus. Tng really paved the way for (in my opinion) the best series.
This makes me so unimagibily happy after watching this video and i agree i usually skip that episode when binging the entirety of TNG thanks for going over how bad it was also cake troy is my sleep paralysis demon
This one and the one where the crew turn into Robin Hood and the merry men.. 😖
I remember finding this channel and wondering why it didn’t have the subscribers it obviously deserves I’m glad to see your content you clearly work hard at being shown to more people I could see you being the less jontron just less problematic, better looking, and less of a corporate sellout
I'm sad to hear that Sid is no longer with us, as you had him in quite a lot of videos, and they seemed like a well-trained, chill cat, and he brought a lot of joy to me and your audience...My heart goes out to you and your wife, farewell Sid.
My life has descended into utter chaos since the last time you uploaded, but watching you somehow grab chaos by the balls and make it do work for you fills me with hope.
2:25 as a space nerd I have to remind you that he actually flew on a hydrogen powered rocket, which releases basically zero carbon into the atmosphere.
As an energy nerd, I have to point out that it takes more energy to liquify hydrogen than you get back by burning it. All that hydrogen that you burn to almost get some tourists to space actually STARTED as water, and it took quite a bit of energy to convert that water into liquid hydrogen. Its fantastic that the burning of liquid hydrogen doesn't itself create more CO2 considering that it already has a sizable carbon footprint just by existing.
All this zero carbon nonsense is just marketing until the last carbon producing power plant is turned off and all the industrial processes used to produce and maintain our power generating equipment is **actually** net-zero carbon. Until then? Using electricity? Well you aren't zero emissions then, are you?
Any chance to bash carbon and technological progress
I suggest you should get up do date. Rockets do produce CO2, and also the emmission of hydrogene is not completely unproblematic.
@@dmbook yeah i mean, why blame CO2 emissions of they are only destroying our world climate?
@@megadk93 are they?
This legit has me rolling on the floor laughing. My dog thought I was insane
I am actually thoroughly impressed by his DIY sci-fi set. Incredible in every way.
I need to know how long it took to set yp
The line of Troi being jealous is wild considering her "encounter" with a ghost/ energy spirit thing and how well that episode went
Was that the one where she got pregnant?
@@JulianLopez-nd9ts I believe so, unless there was another episode in which a similar thing happened
I legit forgot these were different episodes. That makes so much more sense.
You could have chosen ANY OTHER episode and I could have watched it. But this episode is beyond my ability to digest in any form.
Omg, yes! I can't wait for the voyager video! I have a feeling I know exactly which episode it will be; everyone (characters and viewers) pretty much pretend like it never even happened. It is insane.
I'm a semi-hardcore Trekkie, and this was amazing. I mean, you can love something and still admit when it has issues, right? I can't wait to hear/see your take on Voyager. The series is great, don't get me wrong, but it is kind of a mess in places. Ok, it's kind of a mess in a lot of places, but in between those it's brilliant!
As Monty python one said: „If you take something which you really love and you watch it from all sides, make jokes about it, found out all its weaknesses - and still love it after that, then the love is real.”
I feel like Star Trek is often a victim of people taking it a bit too seriously. It's held hostage by it's own humongous amount of established canon, and a fanbase that holds every single minute detail under a microscope. I think it's lot easier to enjoy when you realise it's basically a soap opera, that just happens to be set in space, allowing it to play with our ideas of what could be possible in the future. It's at its best when it is free to dabble in the whimsical and the barely plausible. It doesn't really need to be realistic to work, it just needs to be thought provoking.
Your observations apply to the ST franchise as a whole. TOS had more cringe than many remember. We cut it slack because it was a trailblazer, and the chemistry of three main characters.
Perfect attitude to have. You can love something, but still be critical of it.
@@The_gaming_archaeologist TNG had full of plot holes XD
But yea there will always be hardcore fans who will reject any form of criticism
I love Star Trek, I'd be down for more of these. The Voyager episode where they go to warp 10 in a shuttlecraft and then turn into salamanders is my favorite bad Star Trek episode.
Bro that was so crazy and they had babies that live on the planet they were lizards at 😭
Yesss! 🤣🤣🤣
Threshold
Star Trek: Voyager: Season 2, Episode 15
And that isnt even the worst episode in Voyager
The worst is obviously The Fight
@@Near_Void yea but the fight is just bad, it’s not even comically bad
We don’t talk about the salamanders.
My condolences about Sid. Great to see you back. Again your video managed to make me laugh out loud several times. A much needed fun in the rainy weather. Cheers Mate
2:17 Sisko became cool when he shaved his head and grew a goat tee, I don't care what anyone says.
Wasn't the subtext of the whole thing that the ghost was actually a alien which parasited her granma and now was trying to do the same to her? And the whole weird reactions were her getting basically drugged with alien-ghost-sex powers
Rip sid, my coin will miss his wares
There's so many parts of Voyager that I hope you tackle.
I rewatched the whole series a few years ago and it was a delightful treat but it certainly has some questionable episodes, and, as has been covered on other channels, their limited resources aren't so limited, like the sheer number of photon torpedoes they use when supposedly they couldn't make any more, at least until seven of nine comes aboard.
When he said "Computer, tea, earl grey, hot", my Alexa (which I have set to respond to "Computer") said that the replicators were offline. I said it a few more times and it gave similar answers. Must be an easter egg progrmmed into it. 😂
Are you insane? The Beverly and Deanna in spandex is on the greatest fan service scenes ever made, it's glorious.
Your videos always make me chuckle and this one was close to my heart. Cats are better than humans! Rest in peace Sid.
Finally it's here after so long :
ua-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/v-deo.html
Let's not get crazy. I love cats but they are basically just adorable lil serial killers.
I loved your video! So clever.
My favorite is the transition from talking about beards into a beard product commercial. Well done!
Please cover the episode of enterprise where the crew has to shut down all main systems when entering a nebula and hide in the engine toobes from the radiation, only for an alien combat team to board their ship and restart it despite still being in the nebula which will fry any active system
Maybe a "Star Trek in 'Not' a Nightmare" where you go over what you think is the best episode there is, or if hard to pick, your top 3 eps. Would love to see that.
Best TNG episode - Cause and Effect
Other amazing ones are
The Inner Light
A Fistful of Datas
Starship Mine
Times Arrow
Parallels
The Best Of Both Worlds
Can I just say that people in the Star Trek universe have lived A LOT longer than 100. Dr. McCoy's canonical age in TNG was like 173, so I gotta give this episode one bit of credit
that just means her grandma died young
McCoy lived so long because his molecules weren't getting jumbled every 2-3 days.
He was 137, not 173.
MCCoy was a special case. The mind meld he shared with Spock in Star Trek 3 somehow had the effect of lengthening his life span. I do not know all of the details but that is what I heard.
Time flies faster in their fictional universe Deforest Kelly is not that old.
Your content is some of the most entertaining on this platform 100%
Like I’ve watched ur red dead and fallout videos like 3 times each and they still make me laugh bro. Seriously thank you so much

@Chad 007 thanks for the spam on a comment about a dead pet.
I have been thinking about this episode and how insane it is for years! Thank you, thank you for dedicating your time to this. At least I know I'm not the only one who watched it and said "What the hell?" I got tears of laughter from this. I love it.
Love the video, I love Star Trek and your channel so those two coming together is just golden, would you do a video on your favourite episode? I reckon that would be brilliant.
1.1M Subs and this is the first time I've ever seen this guy.
What a time to be alive.
I personally love voyager. Me and my mom watched it together and was one of the best moments I had with her
I was like 'Voyager the worst??' but that said I think it's just because Janeway is my favourite 😅 it does have the unequivocably worst episode of all Trek, so I presume Threshold is what's coming next...!
@@alsofrainham Indeed I love Janeway
Jane way is awesome I had major issues with seven and the over saturation of the Borg
@@Dancestar1981 Janway was good, but unfortunately was written less consistently than most other Trek captains.
@@realGBx64 I blame that on the writers
I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't have cats, but keep reptiles, and losing any animal friend is the toughest. Sending love and good vibes.
This was fun. I'm definitely onboard with you do more along these lines.
Really great video It was funny as hell :)
As a Voyager fan (Well maybe It's better not to say VOY is my favorite Star Trek serie of all time :D) I can't wait to see your take on this one !
Well done !
I got into Star Trek through TNG, but DS9 is what settled me into the fandom.
I absolutely loved DS9. It's peak trek for me
DS9 is the best
As someone who just lost their cat, my condolences. May Khajiit-known-as-Sid rest in peace.
This is the first episode of yours that I've seen. I didn't get half way thru before I hit the subscribe button. Hilarious and entertaining 🤣 I can't wait to see more
I've never seen your channel before, but this video is one of the best I've ever seen bro! You had me cracking up. Instant subscribe.
Star Trek is one of my favorite series of all time because you'll go from some of the best writing in television history to just some unhinged shit in like 2 episodes. DS9 was the only one that actually had a pretty consistent level of quality and even then there were a lot of batshit insane episodes.
The first two seasons of DS9 would beg to differ.
@@JulianLopez-nd9ts The first 2 seasons of DS9 are still way more consistent than TNG and VOY. Like I think that there's only 1 truly bad episode in season 1 of DS9. Compare that to season 1 of TNG and there's no contest.
@@Drybread Personally, I’m of the opposite opinion where I honestly think S1 of DS9 is worse than TNG and VOY. TNG’s season 1 I kinda like because it gets solidly into “so bad it’s good” territory. For VOY, it’s the show I grew up with so I have a soft spot for it.
That being said, I can definitely understand your viewpoint on this and ultimately it’s all personal opinion. I’m also a bit biased against DS9 because of how it stole a bunch of stuff from Babylon 5 (which I also think did that stuff better and was a better show overall).
Voyager has great episodes, hands down some of the best, but in general, the crew is so generic. The Doctor is awesome and 7 of 9 has turned out well, but the rest, imo, is not very interesting. Harry Kim? Yawn. I do like Janeway, but her character depth at times seems limited to: "I like black coffee." OK, harsh, she has a tough job out there, but with only a few exceptions, her moral compass is bent less than Sisko's. (Actually, belay that, she does cross the line quite a few times) Picard was once my hands down fave Captain, but Sisko has won me over. DS9 is, again, my opinion, the best of the entire franchise. TNG has some great characters, the bridge crew is extremely likable and epic, but I think DS9 has the best crew, villains (Dukat, Weyoun, Kai Winn) and "frenemies" (Quark, Garak).
I enjoyed Disco but have some reservations, I liked Picard and don't know why it was so hated. SNW has been fun. Pike has some of Sisko's whimsy. Jury is out. Lower Decks is the best Trek in production at the moment. Trek needs to be taken down a peg. It's funny and the stories can be good. Plus, it's TNG-era, which I prefer to the current crop. Mostly in look.
TOS, of course, a world apart. Hard to compare cuz the effects are limited and the stories very 60's "sociology sci-fi" in a way. Love it. But honestly, despite growing up on TOS, the TNG-era is my preference. Still, TOS is maybe the most "magical" in taking me to weird head-spaces.
Enterprise gets lost in the shuffle. It's got good stories and characters, but the whole Xindi thing, which entered canon outta nowhere, irked me. Lots of lost opportunities with Enterprise. The finale was a ripoff for that cast and us viewers. But yea, Bakula as Archer, Trip, Malcolm, T'Pol, Phlox, Hoshi, the Boomer dude, all decent characters. Good overall, but missing....something.
Haha. I didn't really respond directly, but i've been mulling this a lot recently. I think DS9 deserves at least 10 episodes to see where Sisko ended up. Or not. It was such a great iteration of Trek. I'd like to see more of DS9 than any other series. It did end well, but there's still a big "?" over Sisko's fate.
I've not seen a Trek series I don't like. They are all good, and a bad episode of Trek beats most other TV any day of the week. Even some of those awful se01 eps of TNG.
Opinions only. I'm sure others have theirs and equally valid reasons for why they prefer what they do. All is good with Trek.
Man I just had to comment that the joke you did where you ascended after hearing “ I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter in my grandmother’s dairy last night” was absolutely hilarious lol great job man
7:10
Well, actually, in Star Trek, humans actually manage to live up to 100 years, with Dr. McCoy managing to reach 120 in the TNG pilot
That was fun, I enjoyed :D I never saw that episode of Next Gen! Interesting stuff. I loovee Voyager haha, your friends misinformed you it is quite cool :) .
Sid would be proud of you matt. Another phenomenal and hilarious video. Looking forward to voyager 🙂
I would observe a national day of mourning for Sid.
I don't get the Voyager hate, it's absolutely my favorite Star Trek. It has some of the most interesting episodes and really tackles the philosophy of the Federation in unique situations. Plus while not every character amazing, some of the best star trek characters are from that series.
Anyway, enough soapboxing. Fantastic video, can't wait for the next one!
I love Voyager too! it was the first Trek I ever watched in full, and it holds a special place in my heart. The only other Trek I've watched in full is DS9, which is amazing and I love it as well :)
This was hilarious! I knew instantly which episode you'd be discussing and I wasn't looking forward to it, but you managed to be more entertaining than the source material. I manage to enjoy a lot of TV that other people can't stand, but even I can't stomach Sub Rosa. I've never heard anyone praise it that wasn't doing so for contrarian cool points. I'm doing another TNG watchthrough currently and I haven't decided yet whether I'll watch it when I reach it.
I don't know how I stumbled into this video, but it has made my day. Thank you for making my laugh hysterically!
I'm sorry to hear about Sid's passing. I'm a cat father (of two) myself and my Perseus is beginning to show his age. Losing a beloved companion is always difficult, but I know you'll always remember the happy times that you both spent together. I know words from a stranger on the internet aren't all that important, but: I've always thought of my cats passing as them simply beginning their last, and most wonderful and peaceful, cat nap. May Sid rest warmly and peacefully, and in his most favorite comfy cardboard box. Much love from the U.S. ❤
Nice to see you back at it man, hope your feeling better!
I really love how despite having notifications turned on, this did not appear in my feed for over 2 WEEKS!!
Oh my God the add at the end. When you go "Im a BIG BOY". Made me remember the shenanigan's and pranks we pulled when i was in the Army.
You know, the sex candle episode is not the worst episode. I actually quite like it. It's great. You have an incredibly accomplished woman with a prestigious position in Star Fleet who is willing to toss it all way for ghost nookie. That must be some damn good ectoplasm. Like... where can I buy one of those candles? BB&B?
This was some Star Trek fan fiction write large, but it was a great diversion.
Obviously the Scottish accent is awful.
The episode where Geordi turned into an invisible alien or the one where Barclay mutated into a giant spider are definitely worse. Or maybe the one where Barclay saw the creatures From Beyond in the transporter beam. Or the one where Geordi meets the real life version of the woman he's been macking on in the holodeck. Or Emancipation. Sorry, that last one was Stargate. The same person who wrote Emancipation, wrote Code of Honor for Star Trek The Next Generation, so it counts by proxy.
Basically every episode that attempts to handle relationships or the real life implications of the holodeck? I am not disagreeing with you just god that was a bad episode of stargate.
Dude the evolution episode was great! You had murder caveman worf and troi eating caviar. I also liked the Barkley transporter beam one.
i think the worst one is the season 2 closer. its just a clip episode, with no budget, that drops any sense of a plot halfway through and its all bad memories too. mall hurtful... they pretty much spend the whole episode saying, but what if we stimulate more memories!? and the Polaski is basically like, im not sure we should, but i'll give it a try... and that's it... that's all it is... Polaski deserved a MUCH better send off.
I recently read a post about Code of Honor and Emancipation. Not only did the writer recycle the plot, the episodes even have the same number (season 1 episode 4) in both shows. Having written the worst episode of both TNG and SG-1 is an achievment of sorts I guess.
Masks was pretty bad.
You said worst episode of TNG and I immediately thought Sub Rosa.
Sid was a hell of a cat. Thanks for sharing him with us.
Your opening setup was so good that it fooled my mom and she asked why I was watching Star Trek without her... failing to realize it was UA-cam video 🙃
Oddly, without the context of the fanbase, this episode is bizarre. But, it made sense in the context of, "What is popular these days?" "Anne Rice occultism novels." "STAR TREK GHOST STORY!"
And thus was this episode made.
Man this is great, I'm glad that you're episode's have always kept great quality. Keep doing great!
i was thinking about sid the other day actually, he seemed great and I am so so sorry for your loss man, that is always sm harder than ppl realise to lose a pet. hope youre okay!!
I loved how DS9 showed the Federation sparkle and shine was only skin deep.
Never seen Star Trek, now I want you to do this to Every. Single. Episode.
This was hilarious ´^^
Sid was a great addition to the videos and will be missed, my cat companion hasn’t come back home in about ten days and we all know what that usually means ❤
She is on holiday with her reserve family?
always a pleasure to watch one of your videos man, sad news to hear of Sid’s passing, his video segments will be sorely missed by many
R.I.P. Sid 😿✨♥️
You will never be forgotten.
Watched all Star Trek shows (and liked most of them 😇). I think that very likely let me enjoy your hilariously good video even more than the average viewer. Thx a lot for the fun! 😄👍 Looking forward to the next one. 🖖
I somehow knew this would be the sex with a ghost candle episode. Later Star Trek shows even took potshots at this episode.
Glad To See You Back Man! And I'm Extremely Sorry About Sid's Passing And I Hope Your Doing Ok.
This was hilarious! It's very rare for a YT video to make me laugh out loud so this was a delight! Bravo!
I was going to complain if you chose a boring S1 episode, or the Riker clip show episode, but you chose Sub Rosa like a man of sophistication and taste.
Khajit will always be in our hearts
I immediately knew which episode it was gonna be. Beautiful work as always!
Do more Star Trek episode mocks, i loved this! You are hilarious
Wow! Where has this channel been hiding? This Was Brilliant!!!
