@MirrorAyako @allstartrek Richard Kiley and Salli Richardson make Sedond sight work. I liked Waking Moments too although it assumes that most species have the same metabolic cycles that can easily be invaded.

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek DS9 yet again with a grown up episode where not everything is black and white, lots of shades of grey, and morality is not easy to parse under the circumstances. These kinds of deep thinking episodes were the strength of DS9, IMO.

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek Fionnula Flanagan can do no wrong in my book. Rise is a copy of DS9 The Ascent. The trope of an alien taking over one of the main characters has been overdone, IMNSHO.

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek Take Me Out to the Holosuite is just a fun little episode.

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek They both are. In TNG, the aliens are so creepy they are the focus. In VOY, the aliens look innocuous but what they do is horrifying (including making Tom and B'Ellana extra horny 😆).

socprof,
@socprof@masto.ai avatar

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek ST episodes are good when they combine the alien of the week with some relationship stuff. That's the case for Obsession and Cost of Living (all about Majel!). In The Pale Moonlight is great because of the evolution of Sisko over the seasons but also exposes his self-righteousness as morally flawed too.

ColesStreetPothole, to allstartrek
@ColesStreetPothole@weatherishappening.network avatar

I had a lot of thoughts about this episode after it ended. In no particular order:

  1. It was reminiscent of TNG episode The Neutral Zone, which had humans in stasis chambers because they had "incurable" diseases.

  2. The whole point was to get Janeway and Earhart to meet and talk. The rest was sort of cobbled together to justify that happening.
