I skip every scene he’s in… except the episode where Nog moved into the holodeck, that’s a brilliant episode and an incredible performance by Aaron Eisenberg
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Oh man, they’re episodes I’ll pick out to watch specifically and individually.

I generally like him, but mirror universe Vic Fontaine is was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Oh, 100%

I might be in the minority, but I hated the mirror universe episodes. Every single one of them felt like consequence free filler with bad low stakes plot points. I mean, yeah people died, but not the characters I actually cared about.

Mirror universe, time travel and holodeck episodes, the holy trinity of filler episodes in Star Trek.

Oh look we have all these sets and costumes from a different show next door and we’re low on budget this season. Welp looks like we’re doing a Pirate episode! The question is, time travel, Holodeck or mirror universe? 🤔

I can count on one hand the number of mirror universe episodes I’ve enjoyed in trek. But I don’t even need that one hand to count the mirror episodes I liked in DS9…
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
DS9 mirror universe episodes were just the writers being down bad. But I’m here for it.
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 months ago
I wonder if it’s awkward to write stuff like that once you know the cast.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Awkwardness is probably a variable that is greatly diminished by the writers own horny-on-main.

Ferengi: cool
All others: aw hell naw!The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 months ago
But… holodeck episodes!

Who the hell was responsible for the shoddy lumps of code they call safety protocols? And how the fuck can they "fail"? Any halfway responsible programming would assume the default to be safety on hard coded. So if those protocols were to "fail" they wouldengage safety!

The mirror universe episodes were alright at first but they got old really quick.
Norgur@kbin.social 9 months ago
Yep.

Someone's been watching season 4 😂
WanderingCrow@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Time travel episodes as honorable mention.
n3m37h@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yep. Those were some of the best IMO very dark and emotional episodes

The Bell Riots episodes feel very prophetic

For very “The Visitor,” you also get a “Trials and Tribbilations.”

Honestly, I would put those above mirror universe episodes any day of the week.
Hot Take: the only truly good mirror universe episode was Mirror, Mirror.

I stand with you on this one.

The time loop variety are my favourite. The one from TNG where the enterprise keeps getting blown up is great. I also love the Discovery episode. It was like fighting an evil groundhogs day guy.
