Jen, great to watch these full-length reactions with you. I love "Ode to Spot". 12-year-old me memorized that poem. It's a classic. I don't know why people keep telling you Q is not an antagonist. *Turns on megaphone* Testing. Attention fandom: Q is antagonist. Always has been.

2024-12-15 09:21:53 +0000 UTCQ is not a shit, Q is the BEST! And please don't interrupt Picard's epic monologues.

2024-12-05 07:08:02 +0000 UTCThey're like Locarno and Paris.

2024-12-03 04:22:03 +0000 UTCOh really? Cheers, man! π They look so similar.
Jason Scade
2024-12-02 23:10:56 +0000 UTCIt was very clever.
Thegonagle
2024-12-02 22:52:30 +0000 UTCThat's not Maryam, that's her cousin Olivia. Olivia d'Abo was most famous in that era for playing Kevin Arnold's older sister in The Wonder Years.

2024-12-02 22:49:39 +0000 UTCSchisms has always been great to me for its eeriness and similarities to "real" alien abduction stories. The show paralleled them well.
Brian Straight
2024-12-02 01:28:37 +0000 UTC'True Q' was entertaining, good reaction / review. Maryam d'Abo, 'The Living Daylights'. π 28:10 When Q turns Beverly into a canine, the Bev-dog looked like a Red Setter. π
Jason Scade
2024-12-02 00:03:28 +0000 UTCI love Q. I think it would be difficult to have morality as an omnipotent being. The value of life and death would seem as arbitrary as on and off.

2024-12-01 14:59:25 +0000 UTCJen, we can spend hours debating Q and the morality. Iβll keep it short and just add that altruism would be easy with Q powers, but whoβs to say this how the universe is supposed to unfold. And itβs not a responsibility I would want.

2024-12-01 05:22:22 +0000 UTCThe girl Q is Olivia d'Abo. Her sister is Maryam d'Abo the cello player in The Living Daylights. Olivia also co stars in Conan the Destroyer and plays a serial Killer in Law and Order: Criminal Intent. She is English so she disguises her accent in a lot of roles.

2024-12-01 02:05:21 +0000 UTCSchisms. Great ep and reaction. ππ I wish TNG had more of these semi-horror eps. Glad you enjoyed it despite the scary, creepy vibe. Still, I'd go with the Schism weirdos getting a hold me over the Borg. Re-attached arms, off by 0.02 microns are irrelevant. π Data's poetry recital and Riker clapping prematurely after Troi nudges him from his sleep. π΄ π Synonyms for schism are split, strife, discord, dissolution.

2024-12-01 02:01:20 +0000 UTCI remember being so creeped out by Schisms. In the early 90s on Friday nights were new episodes of seasons 6 and 7 of TNG and seasons 1 and 2 of the X-Files back to back. A great night for new TV episodes. Couldn't believe TNG did an alien abduction story and my 10-year old self was totally freaked out.

2024-12-01 01:21:03 +0000 UTCTrue Q was really good, too. It might be Q's best for one-liners and comebacks. Great story, too. Very interesting. Do Q's have superior morality? I tend to take Picard's side, and the evidence of Q's behavior and say no way! 'Course, godlike beings might know something we don't...

2024-12-01 00:32:57 +0000 UTCI love love love Ode To Spot.

2024-12-01 00:26:58 +0000 UTCI like Q episodes because they always give Picard a chance to give a good speech. Unless it's about archaeology.

2024-12-01 00:15:51 +0000 UTCA couple of pretty okay episodes, I think. Schisms - By the way, 'schism' means just simply a split between people of opposing viewpoints - it is often used with churches when a splinter group goes off because of different viewpoints - they call that a schism. I am not sure how the title refers to this; I mean, kind of maybe, but not really. Anyway, your line "every time we have a crappy nights sleep, this is what happens" is not one I have ever had, and now that you have voiced that, that thought is going to fester in my mind. :) True Q - First off, I love it when you get so distracted by the hook that you forget the "Space, the final frontier". :D Q and morality is always an interesting thing, and I don't think you would ever get a straight answer from Q about it. It does make me think back to Season 3 episode 3 - The Survivors - when Picard says "we have no law to fit your crime". I think Q is a bit above our ideas of right and wrong. They just don't apply. In fact, should Amanda have taken away the pollution like she did on the planet? Q seems to be genuinely interested in helping others learn, but just waving and fixing things doesn't help people learn. Yes, he is a shit, as you said, and yes he does annoy and bother people. But the motivations are always ambiguous. I don't know if I could label him good or bad - I think they just have their own moral compass, and it is incomprehensible to us. I am comforted, though, by the idea that they know enough to not just destroy everything that annoys them. I don't know why they don't - my head canon says they believe in the randomness of the universe and the beauty and wonder it contains, so they do their best to preserve it. They have killed, but usually on a very small scale so as to not impact the universe too much. I don't know really, that's just me talking out my butt. But it is also the beauty of this show that we can think about things like this. Great drop, and I am excited for next weekend. Thank you again.

2024-12-01 00:08:32 +0000 UTCWe've had to keep "Ode To Spot" a secret for this long. Do you know how hard that was???
Jon Hoover
2024-12-01 00:06:16 +0000 UTCBig fan of Troi's hair in Schisms.
Patrick
2024-11-30 23:20:26 +0000 UTC...And of course, there's "Ode to Spot". A classic moment for sure xD
Banes
2024-11-30 22:01:21 +0000 UTCHaven't seen either of these in a long time - looking forward to it! Schisms is scary. I always remember that creepy Holodeck scene where people are recreating the room from their memories. Shivers!
Banes
2024-11-30 22:00:43 +0000 UTCTrek-tastic! π Can't wait to catch up on this week's schedule. Very curious about your Schisms reaction as it's one of the rare 'horror' TNG eps. But I've still your KK III to see too. (and for the very 1st time!) Decisions, decisions. Great thumb!
Jason Scade
2024-11-30 21:54:16 +0000 UTCI always loved Schisms - the (more and less) subtle horror, packed within the compact 40 minutes is very well directed in my opinion. One of my favourites.. I'm still a bit disappointed not to know more about the aliens.. I was waiting for you to see this one, JenβΊοΈ And Q gets another great appearance with an interesting twist. In a way, the fact that he genuinely cares for her and an adequate 'education' for her, makes him again more human and authentic. Interestingly the older I get, the more I appreciate the creation of this character. His critical, sometimes radical or harsh (but still caring) view on humanity is something we could all need from time to time, or not..? I think people who still just see him as a 'villain' didn't understand anything about him.. I think specifically from season 5/6 on, the actors really came into their own and embodied their characters more and more.. and the stories and narratives get bolder.. Some might say, there's a bit too much tech talk at times, but anyway, I love it..π

2024-11-30 21:43:09 +0000 UTCOhhhh, yes.... Schisms. One of the very few Trek episodes to ever creep me out and have me questioning weird things that ever happened to me. π« True Q is a good one too.

2024-11-30 21:40:58 +0000 UTCπ brilliant thumbnail,so looking forward to finding out what moment this is from but will be saving it for next Jen Sunday because that's what Sunday's are for π make it so π₯
Ian
2024-11-30 21:34:59 +0000 UTCI always get hyped when new Star Trek reactions drop. No one does them better than Jen π
