Star Trek: The Nerdification of Barrin

THE SECOND LIFE

That was a very sweet episode. Though had anybody told me that I'd get misty-eyed at someone saying "Remember to put your shoes away." I wouldn't have believed it.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 3:00 pm

Ach, captain! I cannae change the laws of physics! The next episode be TNG 6x04--Relics or BESUCH VON DER ALTEN ENTERPRISE

Perhaps if we rerouted the phase inducers and bounced a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish...

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 3:05 pm

VISIT FROM THE OLD ENTERPRISE or I'm done recafoobling the energymotron.

Alright episode. The Dyson Sphere sub-plot seemed a little bit wasted next to The Scotty Show but oh well. Still a neat episode.

From now on, I want this thread on FOUR episodes per post. Get it done.

TNG 6x10: Chain of Command, Part I or GEHEIME MISSION AUF CELTRIS DREI, TEIL I

And put some pants on!

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 4:04 pm

SECRET MISSION ON CELTRIS THREE - PART 1

Why the hell is your super-secret mission dream-team a medical officer, an unsneaky Klingon and the aging Captain of your flagship which you are sending to negotiations with a NEW Captain, somehow hoping that will not make the other side suspicious? xD

Because

that's why.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 4:52 pm

Well, we couldn't leave it at that, could we. TNG 6x11: Chain of Command, Part II or GEHEIME MISSION AUF CELTRIS DREI, TEIL II

Jellico, get the hell off my bridge

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 4:53 pm

Yeah, no. I can see why it's a good episode and all, but it's just not for me.

It's a Wonderful Trek!

TNG 6x15 Tapestry or WILLKOMMEN IM LEBEN NACH DEM TODE

That one scene with Q is best out of context

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 5:44 pm

WELCOME TO LIFE AFTER DEATH (dun dun dun)

I've come to the conclusion that Q episodes are generally great. Especially when he mainly just seems to be fucking around (whatever his actual motivation)

Thi...this...this thread...it's not....this isn't REAL. It's not REAL.

GET ME OUT OF HERE!

TNG 6x21: Frame of Mind or PHANTASIE ODER WAHRHEIT

THIS SORT OF THING IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN TO O'BRIEN!

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 6:48 pm

FANTASY OR REALITY

That was... confusing. Or was it?

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:40 am

STop! Children, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' round.

TNG 6x25: Timescape or GEFANGEN IN EINEM TEMPORÄREN FRAGMENT

Smiley face.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:46 am

CAUGHT IN A TEMPORAL FRAGMENT

This is sort of what I tend to think when I hear "Star Trek". Lots of technobabble and stuff and shooting ~~laser~~ phaser and kajiggering the core-mo-tron before it explodes. And weird energy/time beings.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:37 am

Steven Hawking IS Steven Hawking IN Steven Hawking TNG 6x26: Descent, or ANGRIFF DER BORG, TEIL I

Wrong again, Albert.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:40 am

ATTACK OF THE BORG - PART 1

Curious! This better tie in with the whole I, Borg thing or else! xD

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 8:51 am

And after a season break, 7x01: Descent, Part II, or ANGRIFF DER BORG, TEIL II

Daisy, daiiiiisssyyyy...

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 8:54 am

ATTACK OF THE BORG - PART 2 or This Is Really More Of A Data Episode

Meh... I would have expected something more interesting from the whole Hugh thing than just total reversal of their whole 'thing'. Not a bad episode but meh.

by **Taliesin** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 10:09 am

And we'll start our trip through Star Trek with TNG 7x11: Parallels or PARALLELEN

Start Inverse Worf Field

by **Faultline** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 10:11 am

Pretty good if somewhat predictable (possibly because of the episode name). Hail ALL the Enterprises!

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:20 am

Happy Captain Picard Day, everybody! Woo!

TNG 7x12: The Pegasus or DAS PEGASUS-PROJEKT!

He's a role model!

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:23 am

THE PEGASUS PROJECT

Solid episode! And for once the asshole Admiral gets what he has coming. Plus, bonus explanation why everyone but the Federation uses cloaking technology. And theirs would be better if they were allowed to use it! Totally!

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:25 pm

I don't know what's going on in all this previous posts, but it's time for 7x15: Lower Decks, or BEFÖRDERUNG

Ben is a smarmy jackass.

PROMOTION

More like a promotion to death. :cry:

TNG 7x25
Good-bye, Jean-Luc, you had so much potential. But then again, All Good Things must come to an end. Or GESTERN, HEUTE, MORGEN!

Worf is SO BAD at poker.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 2:13 pm

YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW

A really good series finale. It gave a nice look back and forward at what might be without setting things in stone and in the end there's still a bit of sense of wonder and adventure and exploration left. And I knew Q wasn't just being a dick.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:01 am

Moving along to the cult favorite series, Deep Space Nine! We're skipping most of the first seasons, but this is 1x19: Duet or DER UNDURCHSCHAUBARE MARRITZA

Um, Kira, you want to call the doctor? Kira? Kira?

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:04 am

THE INSCRUTABLE MARRITZA

That was... different. Though I kinda expected him to ultimately prove innocent to show how each side can be wrong and rah rah rah. Didn't expect them to go as far as to have him stabbed in the end though. Kinda wondering how a small knife in the back instantly killed him though when Picard took a sword through the heart and lived, but I guess Marritza didn't have Picard's plot-armor.

I am...not aware of a second season of Deep Space Nine.

So, we move right along to DS9 3x20: Improbable Cause, or DER GEHEIMNISVOLLE GARAK, TIEL I

Never tell the same lie twice.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:05 am

THE MYSTERIOUS GARAK

Odo has a weird voice. Not sure what else to say at this point except that I'm very confused as to what's going on. xD

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:55 am

And we can't leave it there! DS9 3x21: The Die is Cast, or DER GEHEIMNISVOLLE GARAK, TIEL II

You blew your Star Wars reference too early, Barrin.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:59 am

THE MYSTERIOUS GARAK - PART 2

Defiant be blowing shit uuuuup! And lots of spies, hard to keep track of what the fuck's going on. And then, pew-pew! Seriously, why don't they have more of those ships? (Or maybe they do by now, I dunno)

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:02 am

If I'm remembering correctly, Sisko changed his hair and/or goatee right after this episode. I always liked to attribute it to "You just showed the Dominion how massive your dick is, so you've EARNED a more badass look."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:28 am

Well, can't leave the Changeling infiltration there, can we? DS9 3x26: The Adversary or DER WIDERSACHER!

For some reason, Odo is my favorite character <_<

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:30 am

THE ADVERSARY or Will versus Will

The Thing in space. Once they pulled their heads out of their asses and figured out the blood thing. Pretty decent episode and some minor cliffhanging for the season finale.

Not quite---he does get the goatee right after this episode while on the space sail thing, and shaves it off after the episode we JUST watched, going into season 4.

But yes, it's a "shit got real" moment.

Kirk--Toupee. Picard--Bald. Sisko--Bald. Good Star Trek episodes are inversely proportional to the amount of hair the lead actor has.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 1:50 pm

No need to go far! Very next episode--DS9 4x01, The Way of the Warrior or DER WEG DES KRIEGERS

Prune juice. It is a warrior's drink.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 1:53 pm

Rahr! Klingons!

Guess they were getting bored being left out of all the conflicts and shit and just threw a dart at a map and start invadin'

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 3:01 pm

NO SKIPPING EPISODES! VERY NEXT ONE. DS9 4x03: The Visitor, or DER BESUCH

God, Melanie's not exactly the brightest...quasar...in the... quadrant, is she?

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 3:03 pm

THE VISIT

Stop showing me all those sad episodes, Will. ;_;

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 5:03 pm

OK, no more sad episodes. DS9 4x11: Homefront or DIE FRONT

Surely, if the Dominion will invade, it will be at the Sisko restaurant.
