    Oh I am so disappointed guys.

    It was pretty decent, and then it later lead to the scene that gave us the Patrick Stewart with a Tommy Gun gif.

    What was the name of the episode where Riker, Data and Worf get stuck in a casino. Was it those guys? I don't even remember but I remember liking that episode.

    e. shit thats the royale.

    Yes that episode was good.

    Does anyone still play TNG on cable? I've seen it randomly appear on SyFy for like three hours at a time, then never again.

    I used to watch Spike when they had 5 hours of DS9 and TNG on daily. It was fucking awesome. I used to sit in my room with my friends, and we'd all skip class to watch Star Trek.

    One of the episodes that always creeps me out is when Riker and a couple others are abducted every night and they don't even know it but have horrible memories of the table.

    I also saw it during the age when I had a huge paranoia that Greys where going to come into my room one night.

    Speaking of being full of horrible creepy things, wasn't there some plotline in the first or second season about some parasites taking over starfleet officers or something? Was that a one-off episode or did they never resolve that storyline

    I think I always thought that was some multi-episode plot because of the one where the admiral has some lt. commander interrogate the entire crew trying to see if anybody was disloyal to Starfleet and wanted Picard to go take over Starfleet Academy because he thought some evil force was moving against Starfleet.

    Also there was a wesley sideplot where they showed how smart he was except for the part where he outsmarted himself from going to Starfleet Academy whoops!

    And the sideplot where Wesley goes off and becomes a "traveler" but nothing comes of it. A part of me wanted him to be what brought Voyager back to earth.

    Conspiracy was sorta one-off.

    There was apparently a hint or two about it in an earlier episode, and all the early episodes that were hinting at the borg (like the one with the disappearing colony and those frozen 21st century people) were originally about those dudes.

    Coincidentally, the description the doctor says about the aliens is almost word for word the description of the Go'auld from SG-1

    When I saw the Trek episode recently I was like, wait a second...

    Seeing as how the Conspiracy plot arc mutated into the Borg, I like to think those larvae were sent by them to gather some intel in preparation for their eventual invasion.

    It's like how every Stan Lee tweet (which is actually part of a series of tweets because Stan Lee cares not for brevity) ends in "Excelsior!"

    Or how J Jonah Jameson's tweets are all in caps

    It's like a signature, except in Bill Shatner's case it is literally a signature

    The biofilter never screens out anything. Not even skull parasites the size of a fist.

    They reconstitute the Captain from an energy signature within the first ten episodes of the series.

    And then it's never mentioned again.

    That or the biofilter successfully screens the junk out, only to spread it to a. the whole ship b. everyone who uses the transporter or c. whoever it feels like.
