I have already seen everything Trek some more than once already. I always get a bit sad on the last few episodes of a series. I am going to miss the characters and seeing them continue to grow and interact with each other.
The same thing happened when I finished my rewatch of DS9. I think it hit my harder with DS9 since that those characters had such a good chemistry with each other.
Once I finish Voyagers I plan to start watching TNG right away. I havn’t done a complete watch through of it for many years. I usually get the first 2 or 3 seasons before getting distracted. I have been looking forward to watching it again.
threaded - newest
You were allowed to skip every Kazon episode except the one where they try to reverse engineer a replicator. (That might help on the next rewatch.)
Haha, I love how the Kazon are universally hated. I can stomach them, but I skip the Ireland episodes. God! They are bad.
What! Fairhaven is the best! Computer, delete the
wifeuser! Just kidding. You’re entitled to your opinion.But yeh, I get the hurt of the end of a series.
As for TNG rewatches, at this point I just go back to a favorite episode and start from there; it’s hard to sort good from bad in the early seasons.
I think I’ve watched the first two seasons enough to skip most of those episodes. Maybe I’ll just watch my favorite ones or the ones I don’t remember.
I’m totally watching the one where insects take over the star fleet admirals. 😂
But are you tough enough to watch the clip show?
Huh?
TNG: “Shades of Gray”, the really low-budget, terrible finale of season 2 where Riker has a virus that
makes him relive memoriesturns the show into a clipshow.I decided to just start with season 3. Season 1 and 2 are pretty tough.
There are great episodes in the first two seasons. You have to search for them though. (Please don’t miss Measure of a Man)
I’ve seen tng a few times before. I’m just watching it again.
The only episode I ever actually skip. Although the “A” plot isn’t terrible!
I used to hate fairhaven eps too until rewatches taught me to love them lol
I enjoy the Fairhaven episodes, but not the ones where Janeway has a romantic interest there.
I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.
Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.
If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it’s the topic, or my mood, or life.
Enjoy tng again!
At this point when I re-watch Voyager, I tend to skip the episodes that don’t interested my. In my opinion, Voyager has issues with consistency, that I believe comes from fatigue in the formula the series’ in the (80s/90s/00s) used. There are some very high highs (message in a bottle, scorpion, blink of an eye) but equally low lows (threshold, any ireland based holodeck episode. Neelix and Kess stories). So its worth it for the ones you enjoy, but don’t sweat the bad ones - unless you want to watch everything
I’ve seen those bad episodes once also so I’d say that I paid my dues. But I don’t think threshold was that bad of an episode. It was a silly story, but it was still really fun to watch.
B-Dunks’ performance is masterful in Threshold. It’s every hammy instinct one could muster up, but with production value. The tongue scene alone is amazing.
Same here but also, when a series is starting to get old when you’ve rewatched too much too recently or whatever, those “bad” episodes can be a fresh experience due to consistently avoiding them lol
Akoocheemoya
In the past 10 years I’ve prolly rewatched TNG like 2-3 times, DS9 once or twice and voyager a few times as well.
Haven’t rewatched Enterprise. Might do that after I finish rewatching American gods.
In my opinion enterprises theme song is what keeps people from watching it more.
It’s actually really good especially the last season.
Oh I enjoyed it. It’s just a tad new for what I go for, which is the late 80’s to mid 90’s scifi with boring one camera angles most of the time and just the effects are believable but also some times rather laughable. Depends.
Anyway good sort of background watching. Enterprise iirc has a tiny bit more action on the screen just in terms of camera angles even if not action action
TNG is almost like a stageplay
The theme song is god awful, Trek themes should have lyrics. But my bigger problem was Kes. Her routines annoyed the hell out of me. Once she left, Neelix was a much less annoying gand Seven of Njne pointed the crew. Jeri Ryan is a much better actress than Jennifer Lien.
The Borg kids, though, awe AWFUL!
I like seeing realistically flawed characters in star trek. Not “under alien control” flawed, but “seems to think they’re doing the right thing somehow” flawed. The last couple of seasons of enterprise, where archer did some really dark shit and hand waved the morality with “we’re facing an existential threat!” really hit home during the bush era.
I usually skip all historical holodeck episodes in VOY, besides the WW2 ones
Meanwhile I’m over here still hoping for a Captain Proton spinoff to be announced…
I researched Voyager not too long ago and what I hadn’t realized until I did was how much it was all about Kess and then after that all about 7 of 9.
Starting with Season 5, Voyager did what the TNG movies did: they focused on the captain and the most popular crew member. Janeway & 7 of 9 became the new Picard & Data.
That may be but it’s not my favorite style.
