Protip: if English isn't your first language then fuck off because you're a drag
i can hardly believe that she was possessed by a pah wraith the entire time we been married, julian.
uhh miles, shes only beeen possessed for the last two days
being miles is suffering
Why didn't he just use the transporter to beam himself into the vacuum of space?Everyone would believe it was just another accident caused by his incompetence. Like the time he turned the captain into a child.
real talk: we give the esls shit at times but I am glad you take the effort to learn English because I am sure as hell not going to learn Finnish/estonian or whatever the fuck Argentinian Spanish is (and whatever the fuck you guys do with ll)
may the good Lord bless all ESL posters for their tenacity of spirit and occasional faux pas
please keep contributing to our community even though we give you hell

No, see . At least they try. Do you?
t. sometimes goes to with actual paper dictionaries and often gets corrected, but *learns* (as our brilliant ESL posters hopefully do)
The real problem is that there's an esl here who constantly tries to correct everyone whenever he doesn't quite understand something. The sheer fucking hubris of thinking he knows English better than everyone else. What a fucking moron.
I watched TOS, TNG and DS9. I do not care for Trek after that and will never watch anything Trek after that. I will rewatch TNG and DS9 multiple times.
I don't disagree with you but it is human nature to be defensive. As long as she (and it is a she) learns, I will forgive bravado/machismo
This guy will be posting about the "comfy charm of Voyager" in 5 years guaranteed.
Also Jansa hasn't posted here in like 5 years and spoke better English than most native speakers. It's really embarrassing when you guys obsess over tripfags (Jansa wasn't even a tripfag, just a discord fag) who are long gone. Please stop, as this kind of autism is repellant to potential new /trek/ participants. Thanks.
tfw on the last season of DS9
unsure whether it is worth it to go on any further
Comfy charm of Voyager
I'm old AF and I never really "got" Voyager at the time or even now. I won't shit on anyone for finding it comfy but I want to know how you forgive the weirdly variahle writing. I know from the Delta Flyers podcast that they rotated writers. Do voyboys perceive this oscillation in quality? No judgement - does it seem consistent to you?
It isn't defensive though. They always randomly start it when they don't understand a post correctly.
No, you'd have to pay me to watch that superslop.
Also Jansa hasn't posted here in like 5 years and spoke better English than most native speakers.
She should come back then. We need more quality posters!
It's not my fault you peoples are too stupid to have ablative case.
superslop
Eh, it's basically Bob Dylan's Slow Train Coming album. It's not for everyone but it's still the same team that made all of the other stuff you like.
Voyager has some really great one-off episodes, just suffers from a lack of overall cohesion.

It's my fourth favorite Trek series, just beating out Enterprise for last place. Nothing that released after ENT is Star TRek, far as I'm concerned. I'm hardly a Voyager superfan or anything, I just think it's "alright."
There is definitely a lack of overall direction. The first two seasons are particularly painful for me because I hate the Kazon, I hate Seska, I hate how abruptly they dropped the conflict on the ship, and early Neelix and Kes are insufferable.
The show improves in season 3 quite a bit and once it gets Seven in season 4 it moves into that TNG/DS9 range where you're consistently getting good episodes. It lacks the vision and cohesion of both shows, especially DS9, but still some great episodic stories.
The trouble is, to really get the most out of good one-off episodes in a series, you kind of need to watch the rest of it too to really savor the flavor, and that can be a little difficult if you're not a fan of the cast or some of the characters, whatever. Altogether, VOY is okay. Some high highs and a lot of low lows.
get exposed for esl shitposting
launch into tired voyager shitposting routine
I know all your gimmicks you deformed little shit
I guess it's that time of night
So what do you all think of the ADA compliance with the reduced ramps and handrails?
Do the railings spontaneously explode during battle?
If only.

ds9
Deeply ironic
Calling DS9 aimless is extremely disingenuous if not an outright lie.
DS9 created and dropped plotlines like nobody's business. The writers constantly soft rebooted and wrote out characters. Completely changed them in the 11th hour. Wrote themselves into corners that required poorly thought out deus ex machinas to save the storyline. Retconnned the hell out of things. Constantly killed off and otherwise shit on beloved characters from other series because they couldn't figure out what to do with them. Undermined core messages of Star Trek for the sake of edginess. Forced plot developments that were completely out of character. The list goes on and on. DS9 barely managed to end the series without completely falling apart. Direction? Ha. Vision? Conflicted. Cohesion? Like Odo in his bucket.
Two entire series about paradise and utopia
One show dares ask what the cost of maintaining it is
SHOW BAD
Me on the right having to take my autistic son on his sperg tour
Constantly killed off and otherwise shit on beloved characters from other series because they couldn't figure out what to do with them
Taking into account the use of the word "constantly" in this context I expect there to at least 14 examples of this over a seven season series. And I'm being generous here asking for 14 examples for a show with 176 episodes.
So can you provide 14 examples of killing off characters from other series?
I reject your shitpost on two counts:
1. I said "killed off or otherwise shit on" whereas you tried to push only killed off. Dishonest.
2. Your random 14 figure is dumb. The appropriate figure would be how many were killedd off/shit on out of the total number of cross-series guest stars i.e. a percentage.
Sidestepping your dishonest standards, the actual answer would be:
Thomas Riker (sent to a cardie camp, never seen again)
Lwaxana Troi (unrequited love with Odo, goes back home, final appearance of Majel)
Q (worst Q episode ever, punched by Sisko)
Vash (part of worst Q episode ever, final appearance on Star Trek)
Kurn, Son of Mogh (mind wiped against will, life ruined)
Gowron (acts erratically, unceremoniously killed by Worf)
Kor (gets treated as a burden by Mortok because he's old, gets sent to some random assignment i.e. Scotty in TNG'd)
Koloth (killed)
Kang (killed)
Alexander (grows up to be an absolute joke in the klingon empire)
Duras Sisters (typrical sister stuff, get busted doing illegal deal)
Toral Duras (shows up briefly, gets thwarted)
I didn't count brief cross over cameos like Nechyav and Picard, only guess stars who were involved with an episode beyond one scene. I also didn't count series regulars like Worf and O'Brien. In DS9's 12 instances of cross-over TOS/TNG characters, 10 of them were either killed off (Koloth, Kang, Gowron) or completely shit on (Thomas, Lwaxana, Q, Vash, Kurn, Kor, Alexander). Only the Duras siblings were treated with their usual fare and their cameos were very light so there wasn't much room for DS9's writers to shit on them.
Kor died in honorable combat outnumbered by Dominion ships, you devious little Ha'DIbaH
What do you consider Janeway's most #Insaneway moment?
When it was revealed how Icheb was created to be assimilated, and was actually a last ditch biological weapon which would have crippled the Borg and saved that planet, Janeway fucked everything up and rescued him.
