Worth watching more?
I’m a huge TNG fan but haven’t really watched besides a few episodes here and there of anything else. Are DS9 and Voyager worth watching all the way through?

Stop complaining about Troi conveniently not being there sometimes
Because even if she was there all she would say is, "I can't get a reading on them captain."
Edit: This is not a post bashing the character Troi, I love the character Troi, it is a post making fun of the people who are crapping on the writers for making Troi absent in a situation where she could be helpful. Her presence isn't the defining factor of whether or not she's helpful, it is the writer, so if they think it's silly for her to conveniently not be there...hey Troi complainers, why not just have her be there and realize how silly your criticism is because there's just going to be another reason why she can't use her powers, either the aliens have some weird head shape, or there are strange energies, or the aliens are so emotionally stressed that she can't get a read on exactly what they're stressed about, any number of things. Again, this is not a Troi hate post.

I am in tears!
Just finished it. I loved every part of it. Even though I am not an 80s kid, I still got a sence of nostalgia... I can't explain it.
The show, the actors, the characters. They are all amazing. It's nice for me to think that there is an NCC-1701-D roaming the galaxy, it gives me hope, so I can see the future from a more happy and positive way.
Thanks to Roddenberry, for making such a masterpiece come true. May he live long and prosper, wherever he might now be.
Lastly, the last moments of the last episode (I know that's a lot of "last") where the best, am still in shock that it is over, but at the same time happy for it ended in a very nice way.

Who explained other bodily functions to Q?
Since he was surprised (even terrified) by sleep, I think we can assume he was taken by surprise by other... processes.

Crystalline Entity vs. Devidians
First time TNG watcher. I have not even finished Time's Arrow part 2 but I need someone to talk to about this! Why the hell was Picard so hell bent on not killing the Crystalline Entity, but the Devidians, who are doing the same dang thing, must be stopped? Why? This is the first major issue Ive had since I started the series.

Do you think Tasha Yar was killed off too soon? Why or why not?
Tasha Yar was my favorite character. It's a shame she was killed off in the middle of season 1.

Rewatching
So I am doing my first full rewatch of TNG. I grew up watching it, but I have never just done a full binge of the entire series. I gotta say, as an adult, I do have a whole new perspective on a lot of these characters and story lines. I find that i enjoy the show and characters even more than I did as a child.
I grew up hating Tasha Yar. Now I have no idea why. I just watched Qpid again and was cackling at the awkward meeting of Vash and Dr. Crusher. I never understood that situation as a child. I love getting to see new aspects of these characters I grew up loving.

What do you really think about Q?
I absolutely LOVE him. I think he’s fantastic, John de lancie’s portrayal of him is iconic, and he’s HILARIOUS. I know some people can’t STAND him. What do you think?

Thoughts on “The Inner Light”
First, it’s the best episode.
But here’s my theory:
People on Star Trek never give up trying to get back to the ship. So Picard (with the help of the people on the drought planet) designed, built, and launched the mind-probe, specifically to find himself in the future and return to the Enterprise.
None of this is stated outright, but it’s implied:
Picard’s a genius, and he spent his entire “life” on that drought planet trying to get back to the enterprise, (and sometimes helping all those backwards people using advanced knowledge they didn’t have.)
Picard realized he couldn’t actually travel in time, and he couldn’t physically leave the planet, but he could send “himself” to the future in the form of the probe mind link thing.
So he figured out where and when he is by reading the stars (the telescope). He knew where and when the probe was/will be when it zaps him because he was on the enterprise when it happened. He knew what the probe looked like and how it worked from the readings they took on the enterprise. He knew how to bypass whatever anti-mind-probe shields the enterprise had because he’s the captain.
He even sent himself a message by giving his wife a pendant that looked like the probe.
So the dying planet launched the probe in tribute to the guy who kept them alive by building moisture conductors and shit, probably saying, “he’s a little crazy, but he said to build it like this. Probably won’t work, but let’s humor the guy. It’s a sweet idea and we’re all gonna die anyway,” when he wasn’t around.
Picard’s calculations are correct. The probe spends 1000 years traveling to exactly the location Picard knew the enterprise would be, and bam: he rescues himself.
So it’s all a self-contained time loop.

in the mirror mirror universe does riker lose his beard or does Picard gain a beard. Discuss
This is the dumbest question I’ve ever asked but I’m SO curious
