@ DragonSlayer: That was the point of the Weyoun and Brunt characters. The fans were supposed to be annoyed.

I see bit of resemblance in the eyes.

I like the jokes about Captain Archer's dogged determination at number 5 and it's been a long road at number 3 in the link below
https://whatculture.com/tv/star-trek...u-grew-to-love

My favourite is number 10 when Tasha Yar took Data entry to a whole new level.

Years ago there was an advert showing several clips from various Star Treks one of them was about Star Trek Enterprise poking fun at that infamous theme it then cut to a scene from the season 3 episode Similitude showing Captain Archer saying can't argue with you there

There was certainly a comradery between Archer and Shran. The dialog between those two were certainly amusing.


Ah yes, the intimate scene between Data and Tasha. Data finally got some whoopie. Lol.

Whoopie

This will definitely make you a few years ago in another Star Trek topic here on TRF me and someone else were talking about Aaron Eisenberg aka Nog having passed away I mentioned that he had played a Kazon in Star Trek Voyager I didn't notice until over an hour later that Kazon had been autocorrected to something else

My favourite Nog scenes

I think that the episode where Nog told Sisko that he wanted to join Starfleet should have been all about Nog which i felt was the main story and left out that boring subplot about the not Major Kira being stuck inside what appeared to be a crystalline rock

Out of curiosity assuming that you saw Star Trek Generations at the cinema, did you experience this?

Unfortunately I didn't see it in the cinemas. I saw it on VHS, boy now I'm dating myself, Lol. Next time was on dvd. Yes, it seemed like an eternity passed in a minute when I watched that scene.

Well, I'm almost 50yo. I remember watching Star Trek TOS reruns with my Dad in the 80's.

The worst Star Trek episodes ever ranked
https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/worst-s...isodes-ranked/

Even though it doesn't say it in that link every episode of STD and by extension the JJ Abrams movies which are similar to STD both STD and the JJ movies have lots of unnecessary lend flare, dull boring characters in particular Spock and Uhura in the movies, Spock is a violent thug in the first movie.

Leonard Nimoy would never have played Spock like that and Uhura came across as a pouting child in the first movie when she insisted on being assigned to the Enterprise instead of the Farragut, the pouting reached ridiculous levels in Into Darkness when she thought it would be a good idea to argue with Spock mid mission about their relationship.

Their on a mission to catch a bad guy but let's forget that, talking about feelings is more important

Other episodes from various Star Treks in the link include Silent Enemy one of my favourite episodes of Enterprise.

Other favourite episodes from across Star Trek include The Outrageous Okona from The Next Generation, The Fight from Star Trek Voyager because it's one of the few episodes where Commander Chakotay takes center stage.

Spock's Brain is easily the worst episode of The Original Series though that episode with the space hippies comes close to surpassing Spock's Brain, I haven't seen the entire space hippy episode just some scenes on YouTube.

The worst episode of Deep Space Nine is an easy one to pick, the episode Valiant I've always described that episode as a ship full of Wesley Crusher's, one Wesley is bad enough now imagine a ship full of insufferable Wesley Crusher wannabes.

Nog was irritating in that episode so blinded by his admiration for Red Squad that he ignored how arrogant everyone on the Valiant was and was seemingly willing to fall out with Jake over his admiration for Red Squad, what a great idea let's sacrifice years of friendship because Nog is desperate to impress a group of arrogant and in Captain Waters case an arrogant narcissistic hothead.

Auto correct knows more about the Valiant crew than I do when I was typing the above it changed hotheads to potheads which is appropriate given how high on themselves the Valiant crew are.

Surprisingly the worst TNG episode Shades of Grey isn't included among the worst episodes though it is mentioned under the entry for the Enterprise episode These Are The Voyages.

The last episode of Enterprise is mentioned there are only 2 episodes of Enterprise that are 💩 the aforementioned These Are The Voyages and the season 3 episode Extinction which had nothing to do with the Xindi storyline.

As bad as Enterprise's final episode is I did like this scene
https://youtu.be/zlEpiRZ0slI?si=-NVJLmYiW5JCYNYF

Killing Commander Tucker was the worst thing Star Trek did , the second worst mistake being STD and the third worst mistake Star Trek Lower Decks being cancelled.

You may not know this remember the Romulan drone from season 4 of Enterprise, it briefly appeared in an episode of Star Trek Voyager it's easily missed and I didn't see it myself until I was reading the magazine that came with the model produced by Eaglemoss.

It was briefly on screen in the aforementioned episode The Fight, it can be seen outside the window of Voyager's briefing room.

Ah yes, the the flea ship/Romulan drone. There are a few ships that get reused or redressed for various Star Trek episodes. For instance the merchantman ship from Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock was redressed for episodes of TNG and DS9.
