I always enjoy these episodes that are more about the relationships the crew has and about their feelings and not so much about some fight with yet another hostile species from the DQ (but they are interesting, too). So, I really enjoyed Lineage.
Imo there are so many nice moments of the crew interacting on a personal level, like Paris going to Tuvok for parenting advice and Tuvok just being Tuvok.
Then we have Janeway and Chakotay behaving like married grandparents and Janeway hugging B‘Elanna is always great. Since Barge of the Dead I am convinced that they have a wonderful mother-daughter relationship.
Harry‘s “My couch is your couch“-line displays the kind of friendship Tom and Harry have so well. I just love them as best buddies (not sure if we get to see so much of it in the show, maybe I mixed it up with fanfiction).
I really like the kind of humor that Seven has developed. It suits her as a former Drone, I think.
The last fluffy interaction I want to mention is The Doctor becoming the baby‘s godfather, because I think ever since Kes left, he felt a little left out from the rest of the crew, so this was a cute gesture and I think he will do great. And I laughed out loud at B‘Elanna mocking Chakotay😂
It was nice that this episode tackled the fact that noticing that you are pregnant is not always great because on the one hand you have T&B put under a lot of pressure by the crew because they had hopes and expectations (even if they had friendly intentions). On the other hand you have B‘Elanna’s inner conflict because of her childhood trauma (I have no idea from what point you can call things trauma) (her father is a terrible parent) that leads her to (almost) breaking down and doing highly questionable things.
And a very important point: Roxanne Dawson is a great actress!

on amok time again: they really did "spock experiences primal alien mating drive and murder fuck ritual," and didn't even play with "and this is an excuse to see our prim and proper mr spock get sensual with a lady!". like he expends ALL of his hot dominating fantasy uncontrollable lust rage energy ON KIRK. they wrote that and had ONE chance to make spock have any scandalous, carnal housewife jerk off material romance they wanted with any sexy space woman in the universe, and they chose kirk. when he does interact with a woman he throws a soup at her

I think the most hilariously Ignoring Historical Context take on tos I've seen -- only like once, but I have seen it -- is calling Kirk/Spock queerbaiting. You guys know gay people weren't a good marketing tool in the mid 60s right. It's important to me that you know this

I love ds9 it's like. Here's a recently widowed single father grieving but now he's a major religious figure to an entire planet. Here's a woman who spent her girlhood as a terrorist and has now lived to see liberation and doesn't know how to stop fighting. Here's a doctor hiding a secret that could ruin his life if it's revealed. Here's a spy for the fascist former occupiers with a horrible cover story. Here's a person bonded with a symbiont living their eighth lifetime. Here's an alien who has no idea what he is or where he comes from.
And here's Miles O'Brien thinking he was getting a normal job.

one of many things i love about abbott elementary is that instead of tariq being an annoying ex who ends up jealous and trying to sabotage gregory/janine’s relationship, he actually just really wants to be friends with gregory 🤭
