UNCUT - Death Wish (VOY S2E18) | Star Trek Journey 402

I love this episode and think its underrated. As with everything it is a product of it's time and people forget that the Kevorkian was in the midst of his multi-trial craziness and it was a very real hot button issue. It's no surprise ST has some things to say about it.

I really enjoyed this episode ( great acting, interesting and courageous premise ) but more and more I am finding the TA are missing so much partly because they don’t listen to key dialogue and are so critical of almost every episode that it spoils the watch. The fuss they make about guest actors and other trivia is over the top in my opinion. I am now seriously considering cancelling my patreon payments . It’s a shame but these watches are no longer fun. I would suggest it is time they took a break from Star Trek .

I read some of the comments before watching and it made me think they hated this one, but it was just fine

I'm late to this one. I'll write this down as the episode you realized Voyager is TNG Lite. Welcome.

Oh look, Janeway has another chance to send her crew home and doesn't.

I do consider Q's attitude to be sexist here. Sure, he does it to annoy her but it sure looks like he's interested in her. But I don't agree with Josh's argument that THAT was why Janeway didn't try to get him to send them home. I didn't see a correlation. Based on what we know of Janeway so far, she would (maybe stubbornly) never agree to give them what they want in exchange for something.

One issue with the series is definitely Janeway making those big decisions for the crew like Josh complains about here. Sticking to Starfleet principals when stuck in an unusual, unprecedented situation, and maybe half the crew aren't even IN Starfleet. I won't say how or if this is addressed on the show, but it's something questionable about her, I think.

"Maybe it'll be great, maybe it'll be shit... Most likely it will be fine." Wow, I think you described Voyager just about perfectly.

What we saw of the Continuum was completely just a visual representation for us to understand, Q said so. When Q said they stopped the presses that probably just means they shut down the distribution of new information throughout the Continuum, whatever that looks like for god-like beings

How cool would it have been if Quinn became an actual member of the crew with all the Q knowledge, but none of the Q powers, choosing to die by just living out his natural mortal life? I wish Voyager had done this many times already. Like what if we kept Kar as a Kazon crew member? What if they just kept picking up new crew members and new technology as they met new people in the Delta Quadrant? I think that would have been interesting.

I think the real quandry with the Q isn't necessarily that immortality on its own is suffering, it's that immortality on their level is suffering. By that I mean that the Q aren't just immortal, they are a Type 6 Civilization on the theoretical Kardeshev scale. This means that as a species, they absolutely can not grow any more. They have mastered literally everything that there is to master. They know not only how everything in the universe works, but how everything in the multiverse works, and all dimensions in the multiverse, and everything from the most macroscopic to the most subatomic level. They are the closest thing that a race can ever come to being God. THIS is more what Quinn means when he says that "it has all already been said." How do you continue to grow when you literally already know everything there is to know? And now you have to live forever like that with nothing more to do? THAT is suffering. Not because it's immortality, but because it's immortality without purpose, growth, or hope. The Q continuum is that Twilight zone episode where hell is literally being able to get whatever you want, whenever you want it with no challenge. It's as boring as the stretch of desert that we saw, so it's an appropriate metaphor.

I personally think the Continuum was perfect. Dry. Bland. Unimpressive. You have to remember that to a Q, humans are basically primitives. Q reinforces that notion constantly. And since you're also watching DS9, the Continuum representation is much like how the Prophets decide to display their realm to Sisko. Simply something a human can understand.

Yes, Q was toying with Janeway by making sexist comments to bait her and get under her skin. He did that with Picard, too. The comments he made weren’t sexist, but some were pretty flirtatious, and that call back to the Tapestry jump scare was telling. Q likes needling everyone like a plaything, and he particularly loves it when they get riled up and fight back. He knows that sexism is something she hates, which is precisely why he chooses to use it. If he came across a female captain that didn’t care, he’d switch tactics to find something else to rile her up. Why is he antagonizing her when he wants her to rule in his favor? Because the victory is so much sweeter when you triumph in spite of someone’s inclinations instead of because of them. He’s an insouciant and irrepressible rascal, and THIS is how he keeps from getting bored; the sexism is totally beside the point.

"It wasn't a visually interesting interpretation of the Continuum" ... It- wasn't supposed to be? The literal arguement is that the Continuum is boring. You guys thought it was boring. Point made.

Death Wish is a good title for hiding the fact it's a Q episode, but "Qicide" is a missed trick.

Just to look on the bright side, I appreciate that even when y'all have a bad and wrong opinion on an episode (😂) I don't have to be tense and waiting for a woman-hating take. Over the decades I have gotten SO SICK of seeing Complaint about Voyager -> Complaint about Janeway being 'bipolar'/'insane'/'senseless'/etc -> Scratch the surface, find misogyny all the way down. It's exhausting. I'm fine with y'all sometimes having complaints I find absurd as long as we continue to avoid that whole swamp 😅

He just had to move to Canada in the 21st century.

This is one of my favourite episodes but I am completely on your side that I was always disappointed with this depiction of the continuum, and I completely understand the intent of showing it this way but something is still off.

I once heard that the writers were reluctant to bring Q aboard because they would need an explanation for why he wouldn’t just send Voyager home. The show runner was like, “Why would he? Where did you get the idea that Q is just a nice guy who likes doing favors for people? What show have you been watching?”

Death Wish was actually produced before Sons of Mogh. The network moved Death Wish down later in the schedule than it should have been. Also, with episodes of both shows officially being declared to have been released on the same day, if you had properly given priority to watching that week's Voyager episode before DS9's you would have watched Sons of Mogh and Death Wish back-to-back.

You guys were talking about some magic ingredient that has been missing in Trek recently and I'm thinking to myself, "Well you guys have changed." And no joke, like immediately after I thought that, Alex says, "Well it can't be us!" Perfect timing there... but I do think it's you guys. Relax and just enjoy the show for what it is rather than overthinking it.

Voyager doesn't need the TNG Oomph; they are still trying to find the Voyager Oomph.

I'm confused. You guys love character based episodes. Then we get one and Josh doesn't like it because there's too much talking and not enough action? Also, as others have said, the portrait of the continuum was suppose to be dull, drab, lifeless and boring. That's the entrie point.

This is a damn good episode. It's really a shame they missed the boat on this one. Aside from that, Josh, the lighting during your "discussion chairs" part was excellent. Your lighting has often been WAY too bright during the discussion chairs part, but now it was perfect. You both look great on my OLED monitor. You didn't like the episode, but you looked good doing it, lol!

Q isn't being sexist. Q is consistently arrogant, condescending, and dismissive toward virtually everyone, regardless of gender. He engages with Picard as an intellectual rival but treats most others with casual dismissiveness, whether male or female. Since his condescension is equal across genders, his behavior toward Janeway seems to reflect general contempt for humanity rather than sexism. I get why people might read it differently, but the way I see it, Q annoys each person in ways that fit their character. He mocks Riker's vanity, Sisko's faith, or Janeway's ambition without those differences necessarily being rooted in gender bias. Even his interest in Vash shows he can respect confidence and independence in a woman when he sees it. To me, Q's behavior suggests that gender holds no real value in his worldview. He applies the same dismissive standard to everyone, even if it ends up looking different depending on whether he's talking to a man or a woman. Q isn't sexist, he isn't even a misanthrope. His mockery is less "I hate all humans" and more "I find most of you tedious, except when you manage to surprise me." Q is closer to an elitist who happens to be fascinated by the species he considers inferior.

The actual Q continuum would look even more incomprehensible than the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Is that what they really want to see? They would have complained that it was too incomprehensible if we weren't shown this simplified representation of the continuum... Again, this episode is victim of "we don't understand, so IT'S stupid".

Mulgrew and delancie were old friends so q coming to voyager was pretty expected. This episode was ok, but the boys seemed like they didn’t want to be there from the get go

It was a really big deal that they went with a female captain in the 1990s. Let’s not forget TOSs final episode had us believe women were not allowed to be starship captains. We have come a long way in the decades since …

51:40 that line WAS there, you guys just talked over it. phew, whole bunch of L takes in the post episode discussion.

I can completely understand that this episode isn't for everyone, but it's totally S-tier for me. I really like all the dialogue and discussion, treating immortality not as a gift, but unending suffering. It's a really unexpected take on omnipotence, and like the examination of that. And tying back to Q's prior rebellious nature was also a stroke of brilliance. I think Quinn bringing up the authorian leanings of the Continuum was a sort of response to Q's seeming concern about his safety and well-being, highlighting how the Continuum's decisions are not based in kindness or empathy or morality, but purely their own selfish motivations. I also really like Janeway pleading for Quinn to stay alive after the ruling, and how upset she is after he does end his life. Really good performance by Kate Mulgrew in my opinion. Q's sexist behaviour is a bit grating and unnecessary, I agree, but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the episode. Definitely one of my faves overall.

Give Voyager another season, and it's better than TNG. Just as DS9 is better

Wow this was a boring episode.

A large part of De Lancie's Q was to establish with the audience the differences between Picard and Sisko. His sexism in this episode is an attempt to do the same thing. It doesn't really work, but I believe that is what they were going for.

UPN promos for Voyager were so weird back in they day. I do remember them pushing the Riker cameo as something big. UPN ads for Voy everywhere, more so than even TNG seem to get, and easily more than DS9, which Paramount practically ignored for after Way of the Warrior. I assume it was because it was so Key to UPN's success.

Id have to push back on the take on not showing the continuum. I think desert road is a great way of representing an abstract concept for us (immortality) in a way we can relate. The representation of immortality as boredom (something we all have experienced and hate for long periods) is great, and you can just feel the boredom oozing from that scene. Theyre so bored they dont even have the will to speak or act anymore. Great representation

After the oft-maligned "Threshold," I find this second half of Voyager far superior than the prior half. None of these episodes here are bad (unless you absolutely hate the VERY ODD episode that is upcoming, but I am guessing you will love it). These are average to above average episodes, with a couple even reaching excellence.

I could tell 10 minutes in that this would be one I don't watch the follow up reaction to. Love this episode!

Although I like the even-handed exploration of the pros/cons of the issues at hand, my biggest issue with the episode is how it constantly conflates the issues of immortality and suicide -- two VERY different ethical topics. I am FAR more sympathetic to the anti-immortality argument than the pro-suicide argument, and it muddies the waters that the episodes keeps interchanging them in the debate. All that said, Janeway's impassioned plea to Quinn regarding the exploration of a mortal life is very memorable and touching -- a real highlight. Decent episode, but notably flawed.

If we want to be technical, Armin beats Frakes with his Quark appearances because Frakes played Thomas Riker in DS9, not Will Riker.

You know it's true what they say, half of everyone you meet is below average IQ. (Q joke) It may be cliche the whole death is what gives life meaning but our days really are numbered. 28,835 plus the leap days is average.

I love this episode.

When both writers rooms are doing episodes on suicide at the same time, it's probably time to break for an early hiatus to give everyone some time off.

I wish there was more to say about this one, but, "it has all been said". Well, mostly. I'll add to the chorus expressing frustration about asking for a line about the continuum being an abstraction for the Voyager crew's benefit when that was actually in the episode. I would also say for the story being told in the episode, it's a fitting representation. Yes the true nature of the continuum would likely be wonderous and incomprehensible to a mere mortal. However the Q don't see it that way. None of it is new to them. Of course after countless years of existence it would seem mundane to them. While there's an obvious discussion of the ethics of suicide to be had, I think the episode is also a commentary on the pros and cons of immortality. I think most of us would like to live longer, a few centuries or millennia anyway, as long as we could be reasonably sure that wouldn't be all constant struggle. And of course assuming we're not old and frail for most of it. But if you stopped ageing at 25 or 30, and knew you could spend a few decades waiting for stock investments to grow to a point where you never had to really worry about money or holding down a job again, I think a lot of people could live that life for a long time and have enough new to do(especially as history unfolds around them) to not become suicidally bored. But the Q have potentially existed for billions of years, and with their abilities, it's not like there's a project they could occupy themselves with for a few centuries. They could explore everywhere, and do everything remarkably fast. So of course at a certain point, they'll have seen and done everything. That's the part about true immortality that scares most people I think. But you could live 1000 years and not see half of what this world has to offer, let alone the universe. But being totally unable to die and just existing no matter what until the heat death of the universe and it's eventual collapse, yeah that's a nightmare scenario. Good episode though. Solid B+.

They could have easily made the hook the first scene after the credits. They don’t say who he is, he says he’s going to die, poof all men gone. Over on the bridge he’s like who has knowledge of humans, then our Q shows up and says his line “what have you done this time Q?” Revealing John de Lancie, and confirming this new guy is a Q (seeing him use his powers would make people THINK oh this guys Q?) in one shot. But, trailers and ratings and all that, get John de Lancie you got to put him in the trailer to get more eyes on the show, and if he’s in the trailer, no need to make him a surprise in the hook. I bet the original trailer’s reveal of this being a Q episode was John saying ‘what have you done this time Q?’

Fun/silly fact: John De Lancie does voice acting for the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic show. He plays a character named Discord. The character is virtually identical to Q from star trek :D :D "Discord is the spirit of chaos and disharmony"

The Q Continuum not being interesting is...kind of the point I think?

Jonathan Frakes is a triple-crowner for TNG/DS9/Voyager, but Cmdr William T Riker is not. If we are just talking characters, there is Gul Evek (Richard Poe), Quark (Armin Shimerman), Morn (Mark Allen Shepherd), and Q (John DeLancie).

Definitely one of the strongest episodes of the series and the best Q episode in my opinion. S+

Regarding trying to put John de Lancie's Q or other shocking guests in the hook, the thing to know .,.. (and this is probably a "It was a different time" type argument) ... is that the trailers/previews for each episode would not only play at the end of the previous episode but would play plenty throughout the week on the channel and elsewhere. For example, I knew before this episode aired that both him and Riker would be in the episode. Even if you tried to look away or change the channel when a preview started to play during commercials, for the DS9 episode "Defiant," the preview's first image is literally Riker on the Defiant bridge. Therefore, for viewers like me when it first aired, the fact that Riker was in the hook did nothing in terms of the credits possibly ruining his appearance. The entire episode needed Frakes for the story anyways, so I don't think it was the writers trying to outsmart the credits being spoilers. ... To be fair for that particular episode though, I don't think the preview/trailer gives away that it's Thomas Riker. ... Then there's "Star Trek: Generations," when despite Whoopi not being in the credits, she was heavily involved in promoting the movie. For that reason, even if the writers might've not liked the marketing strategy, they probably knew as they were writing an episode that there was no way viewers would not know that a guest would be in that week. As such, there was no reason for the writers to try and force the guest into a hook since viewers already know who's in the episode. ... As hard as it is to believe, despite a relatively internet-less world, there was no way to not know who the big guest was ahead of any episode. So instead of blaming the writers, blame the marketing strategy. ... In fact, although I don't actually want you to do this, if you really want to experience Star Trek as it first aired (like in release order as you've committed to), I'd say you'd need to watch the previews before each episode as well since they were almost forced upon us.

Loved this episode. Some Q "lore", John De Lancie clearly revelling in a chance to banter with a new Starfleet Captain and Kate Mulgrew absolutely smashing it. And classic Trek for me: moral dilemmas that don't force you to have an opinion and instead invite you to think; framed in a science fiction world.

I also have to agree with Greg on how I felt about this episode.

This is one of many episodes that frustrates me when watching along with you because I can't vent about the thing that pisses me off about it till later. We're getting into another beef fans had with Voyager at the time but we've got a while before we can really talk about it. That said, I liked this episode.

One of my favourite episodes in all of Star Trek.

For me this is a frustrating episode. There are thought-provoking arguments, but they're competing with plot oversights and silliness. You talked about this being the corrective to Ron Moore's take in "Sons of Mogh," but I kept thinking about how this would play out as a Moore-written BSG episode: Q: "If you rule in my favor, we'll send you to Earth." Adama: "Fine." THE END Other issues I have: The continuing '90s obsession with having our characters interact with historical figures, Q's forwardness with Janeway (icky even by '90s standards), the fact that no one thinks about cutting a deal to get home until Q himself brings it up, and that -- as you said -- the central focus is on a guest character we just met, so it's hard to be invested in the outcome. With that said, the messaging is intriguing and has some weight to it. They're a little too on the nose and they clearly favor one side of the issue, but we still get some solid exchanges and a tough ending. I won't go back to this any time soon, but it was good to rewatch. AND Kate Mulgrew and John de Lancie struck up a decades-long friendship because of this episode, so that's a plus.

Unless someone else has mentioned, a fun bit of trivia (as someone married into a Welsh family): Welsh rarebit is basically hot cheese sauce, seasoned sometimes with mustard or Worcestershire sauce, even ale, on toasted bread.

I think what you guys are talking about is the general feeling that I would put as the world not taking itself seriously. Like often these people feel like they are characters on a tv show, which isn't something you really got with the other treks

Since Josh didn't react to it at all, I just want Alex to know that "Butler!" was my biggest laugh this episode. His inflection was perfect.

I think the sexism stuff was just to get under her skin. Q doesn't really have a gender, so they want to distinguish the way he messes with her from how he related to Picard.

the representation of the continuum is supposed to be "dry" though because that's largely quinn's point. Its' surreal but.. dull. I did like the "we've all been the scarecrow line" followed immediately by janeway saying "I'm not sure I understand what I'm seeing here"

Note- i write commens as i go, so I'm not intentionally echoing you guy, we seem to just have some of the same thoughts about this episode. I mean DS9 is the show where you can get into deep alpha quadrant world building. Voyager is supposed to be out ther encountering all new stuff, and seeing so much stuff from back home kind of reinforces the feeling the showrunners really just wanted to be doing TNG 2.o

I feel like Voyager does tend to be too "on the nose" with their social messaging becaue they are very clearly using the show to make a statement on contemporary issues. TOS was able to do this without it feeling so direct and frankly corny. As many have mentioned, the portrayal of the Q continnum was a means that humans could comprehend, but I think i agree with your general feeling that Q society seemed too.. relatable when it should be so fundamentallly incomprehensible and alien. That said, i think for me the humor kept it from beign dry, and there was some "action" early on with Quin trying to hide himself and Voyager from Q

Oh yeah, from Memory Alpha, Piller's son actually came up with the basic premise for this episode and thats why he wad credited. They had been looking for awhile of how to bring Q into Voyager but they didnt want to do the same thing they had done on TNG, they wanted something else that would explore the nature of the continuum more, and when Michael heard his son's idea, he and apparently the other show runners knew that was the way they wanted to go.

I recall that Jack Kevorkian was a hot topic at the time, and Voyager sometimes did things a little too on the nose, like the line about suicide being illegal but capital punsihment being ok. By the way, y'all may not remember but Amanda's Q parents were killed by the continuum.

One of my favorite episodes. Fully expecting that you hated it.

So this might be a minor thing, but I notice this whole time the ship isnt traveling at warp. This makes some sense as they probably can't run the engines 24/7 and need some downtime for maintenance. I would just like a line somwhere mentioning that instead of just "oh, hey, the ship isn't at warp." I don't know. This is one of many Q episodes where I like to think maybe this is all for show. I feel like this episode in focusing on the issue of suicide makes the Q a bit too ordinary. It's "oh, the Q are just like us" They aren't supposed to be. They're supposed to be strange and inscrutable where we're never sure if they're messing with us or helping us evolve in some way. This makes the continuum sound... a bit too ordinary. I mean all in all it's a fine episode for Voyager, it just makes the extraordinary seem.. ordinary. As far as janeway and getting home, that is the central paradox of her character so far. While she says her top priority is getting the crew home, because the show would end if they did, in practice, she's going to take on whatever principle results in them not getting home. I don't really have a problem with it here. I don't see her being influenced in her ruling or sleeping with Q or whatever it would take. But more generally, unlike the other captains, she's very much written to be whatever she needs to for the particular episode. I never got a sense of exactly what she's about or what she believes in other then being written as a "strong female leader" because she needs to be a "strong female leader." I don't know, the other captians never come off as cocky or over sure of themselves (maybe Kirk at times?) but this is very much part of her character. A lot of these stories would fit into a TNG style show, this is certainly one of them where there's nothing specific to their situation here other then Q's offer which you know won't be taken and never causes any real dramatic stakes. This is another example of something from trek we know showing up in the delta quadrant. It works because it's Q, but again, it seems like they really just want this ship to be in tha Alpha/Bet quiadrants and not have to worry about the premise of a ship alone or the maquis or anything. The humor did land for me, and Lancie was great. I like the purple lipstick which wa sused in Encounter at Farpoint and All Good Things. It worksfor him.

At the end of every season, we, the fans, should have a vote: which episode deserves a 2nd reaction .... Alex had to pee. Lol plus you guys missed the whole comment about the desert as the continuum ... deserves a rewatch.

Technically Shimerman is still the only one who appeared as his one character in the 3 shows thus far. Up until this episode Frakes does appear in all 3 shows, but only as William T in TNG and VOY. In DS9 he appears as Thomas.

Hey, it’s a Q episode without a pun in the title. There is a universe out there where this was called: "DEATH QUISH".

I find this episode very moving, emotionally deep. The representation of the continuum was on point Its how this Q sees it and why he wants to exit. He no longer loves his life. Everything is bereft of interest, of meaning, of depth. S Tier.

Hard disagree with you on this one, this episode starts off as a goofy Q shenanigans episode but then gets into the proper meat of what Start Trek is all about - deep philosophical questions in a sci-fi setting. I also think the continuum scene is perfect, the point is it's meant to be the most drab thing a human could imagine.

Love this one, Charles Bronson is my favorite star trek guest star

Here's the biggest issue with this episode, it's Welsh RAREBIT, not rabbit! It's cheese on toast America, not a bunny 😂

This episode is representing the time it was in. This was when the Dr Kevorkian trials were occurring The Doctor responsible for "Illegal" assisted suicides. It was simply the topic of the day.

Is Josh upset that the crew didn't get off Gilligan's Island this episode?

Like the part with Riker first. The sexism was in character for Q barely noticed it had nothing to do with her choice but could have been structured better

I think the representation of the Q Continuum was deliberately painted as a stagnant soul that's bereft of life, a barren desert. I don't think it was a budget related choice. I like it given the nature of the episode and Quinn's plea for help. It frames his suffering intrinsically, visually, in a way we could comprehend. I don't think Janeway's decisions were related to Q's offer or his intrusion into her private space. She made them clear in her ruling monologue, in a compelling and heartfelt manner. Although I agree that making Q a rude horndog weakens the real strength of her final judgement. I personally do want to live for a very, very long time, if science affords this desire. If nothing more than the simple pleasure of food. That said, I know there would eventually come a time that I would be... done with life. Sapped every ounce of joy available from the universe, and ready to rest. Or move on to whatever, if anything, comes next. Without that option, I do believe anyone would go mad.

The Continuum is the astral realm, just like the celestial temple, and can take any form like a cosmic holodeck. For example, the road in the desert represents wormholes, which is how the Q travel (with a flash of light, same as the bajoran wormhole closing). The scarecrow hanging in the field represents Jesus, and they say they have all experienced that life already, just because they hadn't done it yet.

For me the problem with Voyager as it is current is that missing oomph. That oomph is that for the most part I don’t care about these characters. they aren’t that interesting. So when the episode is sub par there’s nothing really there to save grace like the other shows. Re: DeLancy’s lips this isn’t the only episode they turn a weird bluish purple. I think they do when he is the judge (and maybe other scenes) in either Farpoint and/or All Good Things

Guys, It’s still the 90s. Of course there is sexism. I remember how „new“ it felt that Janeway was just the captain and a good one for most of the show and that her feminity was as little adressed as it was.

As you noticed Q calls Janeway „Kathy“. He called Sisko „Benji“. But he never uses a belitteling nickname for „Jean-Luc“. He has too much respect for Picard.

Did not Q say in QPid he should have appeared to Picard as a woman? I took that to mean the Q were beyond gender

On first watch I also was irritated about the representation of the Q continuum. But that‘s what it is - a representation for Janeway, Tuvok and the audience. The „true“ form would only be possible with a movie budget. Today I am fine with It’s metaphorical purpose.

Yea I’ve always thought about Q not sending them home? He should have said something about them being fated to be there in this place and this time. I don’t really believe in fate or “meant to be” but the Q may skew things in their favor? The way they want them to go, need things to go. My personal head canon mankind have evolved into the Q in like a million years?

You were both talking over the line where suicidal Q explains it is a dumbed down version of the Q Continuum. He says it is a manifestation of the Continuum that they hope falls within their comprehension.

but there was a line that it was only a representation. It's not really a road in the desert. You guys were talking over it. :P

So. About the Continuum. It was stated that this was a 'representation' for the benefit of the crew so they might understand what's happening. You seem to have missed that, since it was an offhand comment. But its still a C episode. Good concepts, good guest stars, but kind of dull.

They did say that it was a representation for their benefit. That's the first thing Quinn said to Janeway when they appeared.

Been hitting refresh every hour all day for this one.

“TNG oomph.” TNG did have that special something, didn’t it? Hard to replicate.

I was going to catch up but saw this one posted and skipped to it.

TWO Qs provides some life support via an excellent Death Wish

“Here is Sir Issac Newton, the man who invented physics. Commander William Riker who saved Earth and the Federation from the Borg. And some rando guy who plugged in a cable at a concert.”

Death Wish let's gooooo!!!!

Gonna be a pop
