    I still say ‘doctor fucks candle ghost’ is better than ‘captain and pilot turn into amphibians, have babies, then get turned back into people but the babies stay on the planet.’

      ‘captain and pilot turn into amphibians, have babies, then get turned back into people but the babies stay on the planet.’

      “And despite The Doctor knowing how to reverse this side-effect, Voyager doesn’t ever use the tech again.” Don’t forget that part.

      As someone who is only trek-curious, the problem I often have in this sub is finding fucking amazing shit like this but not knowing which episode it is! How the fuck do I even massage that animorph broken family story into a search query?

      And I am certainly not going to put ‘Doctor fucks candle ghost’ into Google.

        I promise you that you can Google and figure out what we’re talking about almost every time. “Doctor fucks candle ghost” is pretty much what everyone says about that episode and most people only know it that way and not that the episode name is Sub Rosa.

      Isn’t that Voyager though? I was just talking about TNG. I haven’t made it that far in Voyager yet. I’m currently watching it. So far I’m not impressed, but I’m going to wait until at least season 3 to pass judgement since even TNG and DS9 don’t really pick up until later seasons.

        Uh, Voyager Had a very ruff start and is objectively garbage until the end of season 3. After that it has a few cool episodes. But then it also makes the Borg boring by overusing them.

          It can’t be worse than Picard. Every time they wanted some hand wavey magic they’d just go “Borg tech!” rather than try to explain it. It was so bad by the end of the series that I didn’t even want to watch it anymore, despite having my favorite cast and beautiful new SFX.

        Seasons 4 & 5 of Voyager are ita strongest. When it was still airing and in the final season I got my first job and bought a bunch of vhs tapes to record the newest season as it aired, and I started ‘best of’ tapes from reruns. They were dominated by those two seasons.
