It’s like it’s part of their job description.

I hated her.

Oof. What a heifer.

His luck with admirals didn’t improve, either.

Terrible writing in that series, why would you say that to one of the most decorated admirals of all time who saved the universe several times over. Worse if she thought he had dementia
That’s one of the hallmarks of a great actor. It isn’t easy to make the audience truly hate your character.

You forgot

The strangest episode ever. At least we got rid of Dexter Remmick.

Conspiracy (episode)

After Captain Picard receives a dark warning from an old friend, the Enterprise-D returns to Earth to stop an alien invasion from taking over Starfleet Command. The USS Enterprise-D is en route for the planet Pacifica for a scientific mission. Commander Riker, along with the rest of the crew, is looking forward to seeing the blue waters and beaches that make the planet a jewel of the galaxy. On the bridge, Geordi La Forge is telling a joke to Data, who, after going into detail of why it is funny

Memory Alpha
Or his head at least.
That episode was like a fever dream

definitely one of those “wow the writers did a LOT of coke this weekend” scripts

but yknow it was the 80’s so I don’t exactly blame them

Jellico is based.

Make it so? Just get it done.

Yeah, but he kept trying to privatize Stargate command. Kind of a dick move.
O’Neil’s team are off the rails, they need supervision.
O'Neill. Two Ls. There's another Colonel O'Neil with only one L.

And he has zero sense of humor.

It took me over a decade to realize he was referring to the movie version of the character.

He had the fish removed from Picard's ready room and he killed that fish in his office on Mars. He must really hate fish.
Who is the guy in the middle top? I’ve only seen, tng, ds9, voyager, part of that Scott bakula and part of the lower decks.
Big bad from Insurrection. Played by F. Murray Abraham. Goes by Ru’afo. Into face stretching.

Into face stretching giggles

Maybe its a classic situation of failing upwards. They suck too much to keep a ship of people alive but not enough to be kicked out of Starfleet, well they are getting into their sixties, what do we do? Promote them I guess, unless it’s Harry Kim.

Meanwhile the ones that are amazing at their jobs like O’Brien are stuck at Chief Petty Officer.

First of all, O’Brien becomes the most important person in Starfleet history.

Second, that means Eddie Sherman is about due to move up from writing copy to being fleet admiral.

He would have probably done well writing for the Klingon version of J Peterman honestly.
Harry Kim got promoted from ensign directly to fleet admiral when he got home.

Did you know that eventually Voyager’s EMH was able to achieve holographic rights? In doing so, his fellow EMH’s were released from dilithium mining, core scrubbing, and other degrading tasks.

Fortunately Starfleet was able to fill these lowly but needed roles by using transporter technology to duplicate Harry Kim thousands of times. It was considered a highly ethical solution by the project manager, one Admiral Janeway.

I won’t tolerate the Lincoln town car being used as the butt end of a joke. The previous generation Lincoln town cars from 1990-1997 are some of the nicest sedans ever made. Super comfortable, good gas mileage (better than the newest generation that we all think of when we hear Lincoln towncar), extremely easy to replace and maintain mechanics and overall and absurdly comfortable car.

It is probably one of the most genuinely good American cars ever made and they are hilariously cheap (you can get them for <5 grand in good condition) because nobody really remembers them except old people.

I’m sorry you called me a WHAT

The old USS Reliant.

The only thing I can rely on you for is to ruin everybody’s week when you show up.

Wait I’m only making my way through all the Trek series for the first time. Do we not like Ro Laren? I like Ro Laren. Currently 2/3s through TNG season 5.
