Not to be too forward but please drop your TNG watch order.

okay tng is. complex. here’s how i’d do it I think. I’m jumping about a lot, and I’m also struggling to remember a lot of it because my first watch was 7 years ago and my rewatch w friends we just did Sherlock Holmes and then went straight into chronological order. so this is like, combo of a handful of eps I remember being plot important and just stuff that makes me laugh.

Elementary, My Dear Data (S2E3) and Ship In A Bottle (S6E12). a) introduces you perfectly to the concept of holodeck episodes, which will be important later b) DaForge married gay energy off the charts c) Picard is really fun. the only failing of this as a start is the tragic lack of Guinan

ALL of the Q eps. Speedrun the Qcard nonsense and get a lot of the overall show plot

Encounter at Farpoint (S1E1 and S1E2)

Hide and Q (S1E10) - unnervingly babyfaced Riker. you could skip this one but it lays some good basis for who the Q continuum are, but it’s kind of fun

Q Who (S2E16) - borg introduction! absolute must watch. The insanity of ‘to learn about you is frankly provocative… but you’re next of kin to chaos’ as a line alone, let alone the voice Patrick Stewart gives to it. Iconic episode.

Deja Q (S3E13) - Q getting turned into a human as punishment for being a naughty boy. V funny, must watch

QPid (S4E20 babeyyyyy) - MUST WATCH one of thee funniest episodes and experiencing the QCard speedrun from farpoint to qpid is a very special kind of brainworms

True Q (S6E6) - this one is skippable tbh, but it is pretty fond and I’m personally fond of running a full Q supercut

Tapestry (S6E15) - this one isn’t as fun as most Q eps but it is VERY TNG-ish and therefore a must watch. If you’ll forgive the pun, it really gets at the heart of Picard’s character

All Good Things (S7E25 and S7E26) - as with most Star Trek finales it’s not the best. You don’t have to watch this here but it can be a fun bookend for the Q speedrun

You could also go watch DS9’s Q-Less (S1E6) if you’d like to see Q get punched in the face, it’s really very satisfying

You kind of have to watch The Best of Both Worlds (S3E26 and S4E1). If you’ve seen TNG before, you don’t need to worry about when you watch it. If you haven’t seen any TNG yet, watch it here.

Darmok (S5E2) - THEE most star trek of all star trek’s. hmu if you ever want me to rant about Darmok I have a whole badly-structured personal essay about it ready to go at all times

Disaster (S5E5) - Geordi and Crusher teamup is really fun, and ‘executive officer in charge of radishes’ is the best line in all 7 seasons of TNG

Schisms (S6E5) - you could just watch from the opening until Data’s poetry recital ngl. The ep is decent and I’d personally watch it all but this ep is mostly about Data’s poetry.

Sub Rosa (S7E14) - Crusher fucks a ghost. iconic behaviour

Dixon Hill eps! They’re fun and silly and much like watching TOS’ A Piece of The Action

The Big Goodbye (S1E12)

Manhunt (S2E19) - Lwxana. I’d do anything for Lwxana

Clues (S4E14) - Guinan as Gloria is so much fun I love her and she should have got a full episode!!!!!

The Measure of a Man (S2E9) - important Federation and Data lore. Very emotional.

Yesterday’s Enterprise (S3E16) - Tasha’a back!!!!!!!! Just a very cool ep imo

Hero Worship (S5E11) - Extremely good Data ep, good content about Federation attitude to mental illness

Datalore (S1E12) - another important Data ep, and Lore is laways fun

The Offspring (S3E16) - Data wants to be a dad!!!

I, Borg (S5 E23) - HUGH!!! IT’S ALL ABOUT HUGH!!!!!!!!! (I like to watch this right after The Offspring because it’s direct parallels of geordi and data just wanting to take care of people)

Brothers (S4E18) - more Data (And Lore) content

Descent (S6E26 and S7E1) - not required watching, but Lore is fun and evil

Fistful of Datas (S6E7) - EXTREMELY SILLY GOOD FUN ALLROUND. CAN NEVER GO WRONG W ACOWBOY EP

Sarek (S3E23) - I can’t remember the plot I just know Sarek shows up in a lavender robe and has mad chemistry with Picard. I’m pretty sure they mind meld really hard??? Lord help me the old men you put on this spaceship to do politics are exploring eachothers’ minds in the most intimate manner possible <3

Unification (S5E7 and S5E8) - Spock attempts to re-unify Romulus and Vulcan. Iconic 2-parter, but definitely the kind of episode that benefits from watching with a friend so you can add commentary

if you like Romulan episodes you could watch the full Sela arc before this one (The Mind’s Eye S4E24, Redemption S4E26/S5E1, Unification)

Face of The Enemy (S6E14) - I can’t remember the entire plot but I’m pretty sure it was good and I love a good Romulan ep

The Host (S4E23) - Trill introduction!!!! So good.

The Game (S5E6) - profoundly stupid but worth it for how funny the graphics for the game are

Cause and Effect (S5E18) - just a pretty cool one

Time’s Arrow (S5E26 and S6E1) - One of TNG’s strongest plots imo

The Inner Light (S5E25) - another banger plot; Picard gets hit by a psychic probe and lives an entire life in a history that has already happened. there’s a really good Spones fic based on this episode and I could read an au like this for any ship I swear

Relics (S6E4) - Scotty!!!! It’s fun

Chain of Command (S6E10 and S6E11) - another one of TNG’s strongest plots. The origin of the ‘there are FOUR lights’ meme.

Birthright (S6E16 and S6E17) - this is an infamous double parter but all I actually remember is Julian Bashir appearing and meeting Data

Ensign Ro’s intro ep Ensign Ro (S5E03) i LOVE her

The Next Phase (S5E24) - cool ep where Ro and Geordi get stuck out of phase and are invisible from the crew, pretty fun

and the end of her arc with Preemptive Strike (S7E24)

I personally love Barclay and just choose to live in a universe where the misogyny wasn’t happening and he was just a weird little man, but if he bothers you, you can skip his arc. Don’t skip Genesis tho it’s good

Hollow Pursuits (S3E21)

The Nth Degree (S4E19)

Realm of Fear (S6E2)

Genesis (S7E19) - perfectly batshit star trek fake science. I love it

Masks (S7E17) - extremely silly and therefore fantastic

after this point I’d go back and watch in order all the way through, or look up a watch order for eps that are actually important plot-wise :’)

My Personal Star Trek Selection Box

Whoop OK so this is going to be extremely indulgent and no one but me will care but I’ve spent a lot of time over the last year or so watching Star Trek and I wanted to compile a selection of episodes that I especially like. I haven’t seen Voyager yet so there’s none of that on here. I’ve only seen a few episodes of Lower Decks so can’t comment yet and I watched Enterprise years ago so there’s only one ep of that that I sort of remember on here. Other than that, I’ve categorised everything into the following:

1. Good Solid Episode - what it says on the tin

2. Absolute Banter - Star Trek comedy is my favourite thing

3. Makes Me Warm Inside - these are very special episodes that have a very particular effect on me

4. Critic’s Choice - the actual good episodes. The ones you’ll find on a Vulture article titled ‘50 best Star Trek episodes’ or something

5. Guilty Pleasure - absolute trash and I love it

I’ve put an asterisk by episodes that are my favourite favourites. So, without further ado, here is my Star Trek selection box:

Good Solid Episode

TOS: Space Seed

TOS: Amok Time (should have created the category ‘this is gay and therefore a favourite’)

TOS: The Changeling

TOS: Is There in Truth No Beauty?*

TNG: The Ensigns of Command

TNG: The Most Toys

TNG: The Mind’s Eye

TNG: Disaster

TNG: Time’s Arrow, Parts I&II (just skip any scene where Clemens talks for more than 2 lines)

DS9: The Wire (another gay one...)

DS9: Equilibrium

DS9: Civil Defense

DS9: Distant Voices

DS9: Starship Down

DS9: Hard Time

DS9: ...Nor the Battle to the Strong

DS9: Doctor Bashir, I Presume?*

DS9: Inquisition

ENT: Impulse

DIS: Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad

PIC: Remembrance

Star Trek Beyond

Absolute Banter

TOS: The Trouble With Tribbles

TOS: A Piece of the Action

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home*

TNG: Manhunt

TNG: Qpid

TNG: In Theory (could also go in category 1)

TNG: A Fistful of Datas

DS9: Trials and Tribble-ations

DS9: You Are Cordially Invited

DS9: The Magnificent Ferengi

DS9: Take Me Out to the Holosuite*

Makes Me Warm Inside

TOS: The Devil in the Dark*

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

TNG: Data’s Day

TNG: Birthright, Part I*

DS9: Explorers*

DS9: Rejoined

DS9: Our Man Bashir*

DS9: Bar Association* (this could have gone in 1 or 2 as well)

DS9: Extreme Measures

DIS: An Obol for Charon

PIC: Nepenthe

PIC: Et in Arcadia Ego, Part II (just for that bit with Data)

Short Treks: Q&A*

Critic’s Choice

TOS: The City on the Edge of Forever

TOS: The Apple

TOS: Plato’s Stepchildren

TNG: Force of Nature (specifically the first half. I stop watching when the ‘plot’ starts)

TNG: Sub Rosa

TNG: Masks

Star Trek: Generations

DS9: Fascination

Phew, so there it is! I’m excited to add to this once I’ve watched Voyager, the rest of Lower Decks and S3 of Discovery, and maybe rewatched Enterprise. Anyway I love Star Trek.

#i'll be so impressed if anyone but me reads this whole thing #star trek #TOS #TNG #DS9 #Discovery #Picard #ENT #all my favs in one place #unfortunately i'm english and spell favourite with a u #someone else do a selection box? i'd love to know

TNG Starter Packs for @obiwannaomi

The Soong Family Drama (A.K.A. Starring BRENT SPINER with Special Guest Star BRENT SPINER and Introducing BRENT SPINER) 1.12 - Datalore - Somehow they introduced the evil twin plot device in literal episode 12 (2.6 - The Schizoid Man - Generally accepted to be part of the family drama, but when you’ve got androids, who’s actually related to who is a bit confusing...) 4.3 - Brothers - Data goes absolutely buckwild A.K.A. Often-Wrong’s got a broken heart, can’t even tell his boys apart A.K.A. i Am NoT lEsS pErFeCt ThAn LoRe (5.4 - Silicon Avatar - Just Data in this one, but brings up lots of family drama) (6.9 - The Quality of Life - Also generally accepted, but what even is family?) 6.26/7.1 - Descent Parts I & II - Data experiences an Emotion and nobody’s really into it. The return of Hugh, so also a good Picard backstory episode 7.10 - Inheritance - Data’s got a mom now

Generally Good Eps 1.2 - The Naked Now - Somehow this was allowed to be the second ever episode. Everybody gets drunk. Including Data, for some reason... 1.11 - The Big Goodbye - Holodeck hijinks. Just good new-fashioned fun 2.3 - Elementary Dear Data - Pulaski is a big fat racist and nobody stands for it. 2.8 - A Matter of Honor - Riker has a grand time with the Klingons. 3.15 - Yesterday’s Enterprise - A cool AU 3.21 - Hollow Pursuits - The holodeck and also this one guy are problematic 3.23 - Sarek - Yeah, Spock’s dad. 3.26/4.1 - The Best of Both Worlds Parts I & II - Kind of universally accepted as the very best of TNG. This is really pivotal for Jean-Luc. 5.2 - Darmok - Also universally accepted as one of the best. Interesting linguistic theory. 5.25 - The Inner Light - Universally accepted as a top contender for best episode 6.4 - Relics - Scotty good. 6.7 - Rascals - Everybody gets turned into kids A.K.A. He’s my number one dad! 6.8 - A Fistful of Datas - Everybody loves a good western A.K.A. I come to see my boy A.K.A. Vamoose ya lil varmint! 6.10/6.11 - Chain of Command Parts I & II - Also widely accepted as very good A.K.A. There are four lights! 7.11 - Parallels - Data had blue eyes for a second there and it was freakier than the entire rest of the episode

Data Ouch Moments/Data Good Moments 1.22 - The Skin of Evil - A funeral is held 2.9 - The Measure of a Man - A trial is held 2.15 - Pen Pals - Data makes a friend 3.16 - The Offspring - Data makes a daughter 3.22 - The Most Toys - Everybody thinks Data exploded but really he’s just modern art 4.11 - Data’s Day - Plot? What plot? 4.25 - In Theory - Kinda weird but Data tries having a girlfriend 5.11 - Hero Worship - Has one of my favorite Data growth moments. Data makes another friend 5.24 - The Next Phase - Another funeral is held 5.26/6.1 - Time’s Arrow Parts I & II - Data’s head is discovered. Also time travel good.

Q Episodes (because even the bad ones are good) 1.1 - Encounter at Farpoint - This one isn’t great but it introduces Q and the whole gang 1.9 - Hide and “Q” - Riker gets Q’s powers 2.16 - Q-Who? - The Borg! 3.13 - Deja Q - Q loses Q’s powers 4.20 - Qpid - A.K.A. I am NOT a merry man! 6.6 - True Q - Back at it again with Q trying to ruin everything 6.15 - Tapestry - Also a good Picard backstory episode

Good Picard Backstory 4.2 - Family - Jean-Luc visits his family’s vineyard in France 5.7/5.8 - Unification Parts I & II - Romulans and politics. Spock good. 5.23 - I, Borg - Hugh 7.25 - All Good Things... - Jean-Luc jumps around in time. His future jumps are set 25 years in the future, when Picard takes place. Also a Q episode

Tiny Viewing Guide to Star Trek: The Next Generation

Just found out one of my oldest friends, a huge sci fi guy, has never actually seen TNG, or indeed any Trek. He asked if I wouldn't mind writing a viewing guide. Not all that tiny, but the blurb for each episode is tiny. YMMV.

Encounter at Farpoint - Goofy but iconic, series premiere

The Naked Now - Bad but hilarious and a little important

Code of Honor - terrible racist horseshit

The Last Outpost - first time we meet the Ferengi, they're not impressive

Where No One Has Gone Before - interesting enough

Lonely Among Us - I have no memory of this place

Justice - terrible outfits, Wesley episode

The Battle - Picard episode, not terrible

Hide and Q - Riker-centric Q episode, not the best Q episode, not the worst

Haven - first time we meet Lwaxana, don't remember anything else

The Big Goodbye - first of many holodeck episodes, pretty good

Datalore - important!!!

Angel One - totally forgettable

11001001 - meh

Too Short a Season - weird, generally meh

When the Bough Breaks - Wesley episode, don't remember it much

Home Soil - no clue

Coming of Age - more Wesley (can you tell Gene Roddenberry liked the character?), but not bad

Heart of Glory - first time the Klingons get real character, important

The Arsenal of Freedom - automated weaponry is bad, mmkay

Symbiosis - nope, no idea

Skin of Evil - dark, nasty, generally unpleasant episode, important for character reasons

We'll Always Have Paris - genuinely do not remember this one but wiki says there's time travel and that's always fun

Conspiracy - real mixed feelings about this one, it's tense and interesting TV but not really good Trek and it has huge implications that are never revisited

The Neutral Zone - Romulans are reintroduced, pretty cool

The Child - pretty decent Troi episode

Where Silence Has Lease - interesting space puzzle episode sprinkled with Picard philosophizing

Elementary, Dear Data - first Sherlock!Data holodeck episode, excellent stuff

The Outrageous Okona - weeeaaaak, but kind of funny

Loud As A Whisper - cool deaf character, cringey late-80s implementation

The Schizoid Man - Data episode, good acting, cringey dialogue

Unnatural Selection - Pulaski-centric, and I dislike Pulaski so this is a pass for me

A Matter Of Honor - Riker serves on a Klingon warship, some good stuff

The Measure of A Man - Easily a top 10 Trek episode of all time

The Dauphin - Wesley has a crush, receives terrible romantic advice from entire crew

Contagion - interesting lethal archaeology

The Royale - love this episode, it's terrible and bad science but I love it

Time Squared - weird time-travel stuff, not one of the best

The Icarus Factor - lot of good character stuff, terrible future martial arts

Pen Pals - excellent Data episode, thoughts about the Prime Directive

Q Who - WATCH THIS ONE

Samaritan Snare - bad episode, funny moments

Up The Long Ladder - holy shit the Irish racism

Manhunt - Lwaxana Troi at her best, love it

The Emissary - Amazing Klingon stuff

Peak Performance - good episode, lots of fun character bits

Shades of Gray - TERRIBLE CLIP SHOW AVOID AVOID AVOID

Evolution - Wesley episode, not bad but not great

The Ensigns of Command - Mediocre Data episode

The Survivors - space puzzle episode, OK

Who Watches the Watchers - more prime directive stuff, mildly interesting

The Bonding - interesting stuff about grief

Booby Trap - another space puzzle, high stakes, cool payoff

The Enemy - Pretty good, Romulans

The Price - fun episode

The Vengeance Factor - ehhhhhhhh

The Defector - More Romulan stuff, is good

The Hunted - will 100% make you scream at how terrible security is in the future, not a bad ep though

The High Ground - ugh, just not great

Deja Q - good Q episode

A Matter of Perspective - let's use the holodeck to prove Riker couldn't have committed this crime!

The Offspring - WATCH THIS BUT BRING TISSUES

Sins of the Father - first of many Klingon Politics episodes, I love these with a fiery passion and my wife is bored to tears by them so YMMV

Allegiance - space puzzle, not a great one but not bad

Captain's Holiday - WATCH THIS, IS AMAZING

Tin Man - literally put me to sleep once

Hollow Pursuits - First of many Barclay episodes, my beautiful autistic space boi

The Most Toys - alright, worth one watch

Sarek - SO IMPORTANT WAAAAAAAAAATCH

Menage a Troi - bad episode, worth it for the payoff

Transfigurations - Jason Ironheart called, he knows he came after this episode chronologically but he was better

The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1 - YAAAS

The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Family - So important

Brothers - Very Important

Suddenly Human - meh

Remember Me - very interesting space puzzle, one of the Crusher episodes where she gets to be awesome

Legacy - not the most jaw-dropping ep but important

Reunion - KLINGON POLITICS YEEES

Future Imperfect - interesting enough

Final Mission - Wesley episode, not bad

The Loss - v. good Troi episode

Data's Day - fun, wholesome Data times

The Wounded - SO GOOD AND SO IMPORTANT

Devil's Due - I love this episode even if it's not that important or good

Clues - Awesome space puzzle

First Contact - eh? okay? sure?

Galaxy's Child - fine, whatever

Night Terrors - uuuuugh, no

Identity Crisis - this one scared the fuck out of me as a kid and may be responsible for my deep-seated body-transformation-horror triggers, now it's just kind of weird

The nth Degree - BARCLAY, LOVE HIM AND THIS EP

Qpid - YES SO GOOD

The Drumhead - This is Michael Dorn's favorite episode and it is worthy of the title

Half a Life - Lwaxana is great, the episode not as much

The Host - introduction of the Trill, kind of cringey almost 30 years later

The Mind's Eye - brainwashing stuff, meh

In Theory - Data tries to date, hilarities ensue

Redemption Part 1 - GIVE ME THE KLINGON POLITICS

Redemption Part 2 - MOOOOOOOOOORE

Darmok - One of my top 5 episodes in the series

Ensign Ro - so important, introduces the Bajorans and Ensign Ro

Silicon Avatar - important for Data, not a terribly interesting episode otherwise

Disaster - Troi gets to shine! cool episode

The Game - by far the worst Wesley episode. everyone is seduced into acting like a brainwashed idiot by a terrible space future video game. fuck this episode and everyone who wrote it but especially Brannon Braga.

Unification 1 - WATCH

Unification 2- THESE

A Matter of Time - So good, waaatch

New Ground - I am not a fan of Alexander but he is so important to Worf's growth, so... yeah

Hero Worship - more stuff about grief, eh

Violations - I don't remember this one that much but I do not think I enjoyed it

The Masterpiece Society - read the above description

Conundrum - amazing space puzzle episode. easily one of my favorites in the series

Power Play - meh

Ethics - very important, good Trek

The Outcast - THIS EPISODE COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER IF THE LOVE INTEREST WAS MALE. JONATHAN FRAKES PUSHED FOR A MALE ACTOR. watch it anyway

Cause and Effect - fun space puzzle, a little repetitive but totally solid

The First Duty - one of the best Picard Speeches ever, watch

Cost of Living - fun Lwaxana episode

The Perfect Mate - pretty meh but Famke Janssen is fun as Kamala

Imaginary Friend - so bored

I, Borg - INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT

The Next Phase - interesting episode about the afterlife

The Inner Light - THIS IS MY FAVORITE EPISODE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES AND I CRY EVERY TIME

Time's Arrow 1 - Such good time travel

Time's Arrow 2 - Such great Mark Twain

Realm of Fear - Yay more Barclay!

Man of the People - bad Troi episode

Relics - WAAAAAAAAAATCH

Schisms - space puzzle, kind of lame payoff due to effects limitations but the journey is worth it

True Q - By far the worst fucking Q episode ever written

Rascals - uuuuuuuugh. half the crew is regressed into children. Ferengi are involved. you are missing nothing.

A Fistful of Datas - amazing dumb holodeck episode, watch

The Quality of Life - boring episode, good message

Chain of Command 1 - So dark, so difficult, so totally riveting and important

Chain of Command 2 - See above

Ship in a Bottle - Sequel to Sherlock!Data, amazing

Aquiel - could have been written much better

Face of the Enemy - by far the best Troi episode, Marina Sirtis was incredibly happy when I told her it was one of my favorites

Tapestry - fantastic Q/Picard episode

Birthright 1 - Basically exists to set up DS9 but is pretty good and has important bits

Birthright 2 - See above

Starship Mine - DIE HARD ON THE ENTERPRISE

Lessons - Very important Picard episode

The Chase - amazing space puzzle episode, has one of my favorite one-off Klingon characters

Frame of Mind - is Riker's entire life a delusion he has created to mentally escape his imprisonment in a mental asylum? spoilers: no

Suspicions - Good mystery episode, Crusher gets to do stuff

Rightful Heir - Very important Worf episode, good Klingon stuff

Second Chances - uh, kind of bad, but it gets referenced later in DS9

Timescape - super interesting space puzzle, amazing character bits

Descent 1 - WAAATCH

Descent 2 - as above

Liaisons - okay. not great. not bad.

Interface - OK Geordi episode

Gambit 1 - Amazing stuff

Gambit 2 - More amazing stuff

Phantasms - Psychological horror? in my Data? it's more likely than you think. watch

Dark Page - one of the few Lwaxana episodes I don't love

Attached - great Picard/Crusher episode

Force of Nature - environmentalism! is! good!

Inheritance - important Data episode

Parallels - SUCH A GOOD WORF EPISODE

The Pegasus - very important Riker episode

Homeward - Interesting Worf and Prime Directive episode

Sub Rosa - so cringey and terrible, oh my God

Lower Decks - a fun change of pace from the main cast

Thine Own Self - I don't love it, but it is good character stuff

Masks - weird space puzzle episode, I love it but I wouldn't call it Great

Eye of the Beholder - space mystery, it's not fantastic

Genesis - look. this episode is not good. but it has amazing costumework by Michael Westmore. and has some great Picard/Data stuff. watch it.

Journey's End - super important stuff. sets up a lot of stuff for DS9 and VOY

Firstborn - Good Worf/Alexander episode

Bloodlines - More Ferengi stuff, kind of lame

Emergence - space puzzle, weird but interesting

Preemptive Strike - So so so so important

All Good Things... - it's the series finale. and some of the best Trek ever. obviously you're going to watch.

(in no particular order)

chaotic neutral q is chaotic

angel one

i actually hate this episode

riker titty

the measure of a man

theres a lot of eps on this list i have nothing to say that hasnt already been said. theres a really solid list of the objectively best episodes and ill only have things to say about ones that Aren't on that list

data good

what is more important than data

deja q

q is petty

10/10

yesterday's enterprise

tasha yar :((

the offspring

i am SOFt on MaiN about this ACTUALLY

:,((((

they deserved better and i am so so so sad lore didnt get to appear and revive his NIECE

im sad about this

sarek

brothers

i like lore

noonien suck

i like data as well

data's day

keiko and data both make me soft on main

so what's not to like

also who is going to listen to these logs? how does this help anyone

other than me, who has seen this episode. more than once

qpid

this episode wasnt my fav q episode but

its called "qpid" and the netflix description was "an old flame of picard's appears again" and when i first read that i kind of just Stared For A While because that really sounds like its q, right? like im not crazy here? thats what it sounds like?

anyway this gets to be on here because the netflix description is bad

the host

beverly has gorlfreind

in theory

this episode is bad actually

its in here on principle because i dont feel like im legally allowed to leave out a data episode

but i actually really hate this one ngl

ensign ro

ro laren

unification

spock

hero worship

god im soft

phantasms

[checks notes] bird

sub rosa

ahhaha just kidding

fuck sub rosa

lower decks

TAURIK AND LAVELLE

i love this ep actually

it gave this real uhh different perspective of the show!

insight into characters

taurik and lavelle have the exact same dynamic as k/s. except lavelle is more of a bitch so its a bit less gay. but taurik (the actor said) is framed directly off of spock. so

turns out every single vulcan/human relationship is in fact centered around Weird Gay Banter. can you believe it? i cant.

thine own self

data almost kills an entire village

he saves them tho

did you know that if data doesnt believe he doesnt have emotions, he has emotions?

he spends this episode believing himself to have emotions and hes! ourtwardly emotional for a lot of it!

really beautiful ep. he stares at the stars and swears theres somewhere out there where there is no need or pain. really nice moment

he learns himself to be "different" and hides himself so as to not scare a little girl :(

i lvoe him

masks

must an episode be good

is it not enough for brent spiner to do funny voices

elementary, my dear data

home of sexual

#star trek #tng #i Hate Myself #i talk a lot a bout data
