My take away from Next Gen so far

[the-insufferable-know-it-all]

I referred to something as a "real Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment" in conversation with someone who has never seen TNG, and let me tell you, that was a real Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment

guy trying to sell me a spear: Are you absolutely SURE you wouldn't touch that man with a ten foot pole? 🤔

[the-insufferable-know-it-all]

the lizard and the twink compel me. not just because of the chemistry and the drama and the banter

we have middle aged paranoid trauma queen. he's bitchy and mean and so so sad. he loves fashion and gardening and bombs. his father was reptile himmler. he was groomed to be a killer. he's sentimental and unable to be sincere. he tortured people until he couldn't stomach it anymore. he had a drug addiction that almost killed him. he's pathetic and a little creepy

we also have pretty boy himbo supergenius. he's kind and silly and so so angry. he loves tennis and playing dress-up and medical malpractice. he is dr. Frankenstein (on request only). he's idealistic and unable to live up to his own morals. he keeps dating his patients. he tortured a dying man with a mind probe. he was designed to be a legacy. he's horny and a little desperate

and you'd think they'd be an explosion of terror when they're together, but no. it implodes and fizzles out. they eat chocolates and discuss Shakespeare insincerely and probably cuddle. they just enjoy each other's company

they're still toxic and dysfunctional and a little off-putting to be around. they are everyone else's problem. they're dangerous tools to be wielded by others. but when they're together, they even each other out. and they just get to dysfunctionally function.

and I think that's beautiful

Oh so he’s like, EXTREMELY homosexual

halfway through season 4 and I stand by this! the cave scene between him and injured Picard had me like

I get the vibe that people don’t like Wesley Crusher but halfway through season one of TNG I’m convinced the kid should be captain

if I get hit by a truck and isekai’d into another universe, please god let me end up in Star Trek as someone who gets to personally throttle every person who calls Data an ‘it’

[the-insufferable-know-it-all]

Remember when Picard kept asking Data follow up questions at dinner because he was trying to cock block Lwaxana and when they cut back Data has opened a PowerPoint presentation.

He was truly living the infodump dream in this episode.

They redeemed themselves a little with this alternate timeline Tasha Yar episode:

Gave her a nice, likable love interest

Admitted her season one death was “empty” and “meaningless”

Made her actually good at her job

Sometimes, miracles DO happen!

THE RESIDENCE  (2025—) 1x05 “The Trouble with Harry”

[the-insufferable-know-it-all]

This episode with the guy who is bidding on the wormhole is fucking weird. Wtf is up with Deanna just falling in love at first sight with some gross acquisitions bro/predatory realtor?? Also the close up of the oil massage of the foot and the mirrored stretching scene with Deanna and Beverly in those jazzercise outfits??? What pervert wrote/directed this episode??

[the-insufferable-know-it-all]

hitting return early on libby when there's people waiting and feeling like a benevolent queen distributing alms to the poor
