When Voyager was first broadcast, we didn't yet have the Fediverse... we had Usenet. I saved a little sample reaction to "Threshold".

The lizard kids grow up quickly and embark on a quest for their lost mama. A repeated plot devise has them narrowly
saving the Voyager from being vaporized by the Interplanetary
Eco-Crimes Tribunal.
One of the lizards goes through a time-warp to try to
prevent Voyager from getting lost in the first place. He
finds himself stranded on a desert planet with James T. Kirk, so he pelts Kirk with Styrofoam boulders.

The creepiest part is that #Sisko appears to have gotten #GulGukat to drop his pretence of guiding Bajor, and to instead completely embrace his deepest, darkest, vindictive insticts of resentment to utterly destroy the Bajorans.

Hi there, Hope all is well. I've been out of town for the last few days so I haven't had a chance to join. I hope to join the watch party in the next day or two. See you all soon.

Arena is such a fun one! We see Kirk battling the Gorn tonight.
TOS (8ET): Arena
TNG (9ET): Half a Life
DS9 (10ET): Children of Time
VOY (11ET): Natural Law
ENT (midnight): Zero Hour
@MirrorAyako@allstartrek Arena: it's too bad the Gorn costume looks so bad now because this is a good episode. Half a Life is when they decided to turn Lwaxana into a more dramatic character. I liked Children of Time, seeing all the descendants and all. Natural Law was meh to me.
