Thoughts on: Star Trek TNG Season Five

  • Well; of all the things I thought the Tasha Yar lookalike would be, child born of rape wasn't one of them... ("Redemption p2") [Because consent given under threat of harm to you and/or others is not consent.]
  • The whole concept of a metamorph is just... yikes. ("The Perfect Mate")
  • The whole story of "The Masterpiece Society" kinda skims over one of the reasons Eugenics doesn't work: genetic mutation and degredation due to a limited gene pool. Even with gene editing, the colony would only last so many generations before collapse either way.
  • "Darmok" definitely lived up to the hype! Maybe it should be shown to parents who have more than one teen these days - we have all at least once managed to convey an idea or short message by simply referencing a meme...
  • Riker's response at the end of "Conundrum" to seeing his main love interest sitting and drinking with his most recent fling was perfect!
  • 'I, Borg" really struck me with The Feels. Kill them with kindness indeed...
  • "Cause and Effect" should definitely be added to a storytelling Hall of Fame. Brilliantly done, especially each repeat being just so slightly different enough that it wasn't dull to watch over again.
  • Picard may not be a fan of kids but he makes a good father figure all the same. ("Disaster" mainly, though it has been true of the whole show so far.)
I apologise for the huge delay with this one; due to circumstances at home I had been unable until now to finish the series. Thank you for your patience!
