    I’ve only seen the first few, but it seems like a space based soap opera ffs. What were they thinking - ‘let’s bring in a Q for a random stupid episode, and then a malfunctioning holo deck - because those are always the worst plots from tng’ ?

      I liked the q episode a lot, personally. It was fun and low stakes and didn’t fucking with established lore.

      The holodeck episode is agree with you on tho.

        Rhys Darby saved the Q/Trelane episode by being Rhys Darby. Everything else about it was weak sauce. Which, honestly, can be said about most of John de Lancie’s episodes, so fair play I suppose.

        I thought the holodeck episode was better, actually. I could have done without not!Uhura’s self-congratulatory speech, but other than that it was all good fun. But then, I usually think that of holodeck episodes. Who doesn’t like Moriarty, Doctor Noah, or Queen Arachnia?
