The Official Star Trek Thread

I'm still not sure if the German dub team made an error again or not: The episode title in English, as I've said, is "The Bounty" and they translated it to "Die Bounty". Obviously, it could refer to the ship in that episode but also to the situation at the very end of the episode and the 2 people being held hostage as "bounty" for JC.

There could be a double meaning like you say, but if I were translating it I would take the ship name as the primary meaning and translate accordingly, which it looks like they did.

I wish Picard had been 3 seasons of this season 3 story, instead of the first 2 seasons we got

I'm glad we got the first two seasons. If it was just a TNG reunion from the start, we wouldn't have gotten the characters Ríos, Raffi, and Elnor, whom I really like. And even if they brought Seven back, she probably wouldn't be in as prominent a role as she is. Michael Chabon did a lot of good worldbuilding which has turned out to be essential to Season 3, particularly the backstories of Raffi, Seven, Riker, & Troi.

Okay, today's "Klingon War" was unusually... heavy.

Alongside Ad Astra Per Aspera the most serious one this season.

Some musing about guilt, shame, forgiveness, the lack thereof, justice, and revenge.

This was by far the most frustrating episode of the season.

Ortegas just comes off as a bigot. Dr. M'Benga commits murder, Chapel covers for him...and they're still supposed to be the good guys?

Lower Decks S4 is off to a good start. It was great to see Voyager and we're getting some interesting character arcs. And Moopsy!

Tonight I watched what must be worst piece of Star Trek ever produced... the episode Worst Contact from the animated mini-series Very Short Treks.

It's only three minutes long and features guest voice appearances by Jonathan Frakes and Gates McFadden and I recommend not to watch it.

It's just unfunny, pointless, and most importantly disgusting. In a sense, Trek's version of  The Human Centipede. Did Frakes need the money? Did he even get any money? Were execs at CBS on drugs? Were they kept out of the loop on this one? We'll never know.

Fortunately it's not canon, so we can all safely ignore it and forget about it.
