Yes. Yes it is.
Reminds me of Garrett Wang. He was introducing a Star Trek panel, a TNG panel if I remember correctly, and was talking to the audience a bit about his relationship with Star Trek. Said he watched it growing up but in his teenage years it phased out. Then he heard of TNG and turned it on. First episode? Code of Honor and he said “Okay. No thanks.” Cut to a few years later and he sees TNG is on. Why not check it out, can’t be as bad as it was before? It’s Code of Honor again. Cut again to a couple years after that. He has an audition for Voyager coming up and he decides to watch some Star Trek for reference. Finds it on a channel and starts watching it. Code of Honor.
He ended the story by saying he credits Code of Honor for getting him the job because if he saw any other episode he’d be too much of a fanboy.
Funny how she also wrote the worst StarGate episode.

How many shows does StarGate have
deleted by creator
5? SG1, Infinity, Atlantis, SGU, Origins. Though Infinity isn’t cannon, and Origins isn’t really a show.

Second season of SGU is really quite good, I honestly prefer it in tone to the attempts at “darker” stories in Atlantis.
Ok yeah that one definitely wasn’t great. I usually don’t skip it though just because the utterly backwards logic in it is pretty funny.
“I swear, it’s not that ridiculous all the time…”
During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: “Yeah, it looks bad, but there’s an important progressive message in there somewhere.”
Enterprise pilot episode: “Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better.”
“Ok, let’s try another TNG episode then. Ooh look, this one is about a ghost!”
“Okay, fine. I’ll try a movie. This one looks okay. Wait. Why are they in San Francisco? Why are they… are they stealing a fucking whale?”
Hey that movie is great
I can’t go to San Francisco without thinking about the nuclear wessels. My husband is legitimately worried that I’ll start asking random strangers about them.
Actually - considering the amount of unsolicited (and invariably wrong) advice we got from SF locals who saw us looking at transit maps and butted in to offer some friendly assistance… I may just do that at the next visit.
“Are you looking for Fisherman’s Warf?”
“No.”
“It’s just down that way!” \“I think we’re good! Thanks for the help!”
“Actually, we’re looking for nuclear wessels. Do you know where I can find nuclear wessels?”\ He’s right to be worried.
One of the first things I’d want to see in SF is the future site of Starfleet Academy.
Judging by most of the shots, it will be where Fort Baker is now, in Marin.
Yeah but they’d know.
Anyways, the ghost fleet is parked across the bay I believe.
Oh I’m not saying it isn’t. Just going with the trope of “Star Trek is deep!” and then seeing something ridiculous. Wonderfully ridiculous, but ridiculous.
What if he invented the thing?
thats actually my most rewatched Star Trek movie, its maybe not the “best” but its the funnest to watch.
I’d say it’s the best. None of the other ones are at the top of their genres as far as action or dramatic sci-fi goes, but Star Trek IV is right up there with the best sci-fi comedies of all time.
Wait not startrek V?
I remember 10 year old me trying to get my friend to watch it. Oh boy, lol
Try recognizing the SF of 1986 compared to SF of 2023.
bit of a horny streak
Frank Herbert has entered the chat.
Fair enough. Also, love the username. Beside the song itself, I’m always reminded of Gentlemen Broncos. Weird, great movie.
Gentlemen Broncos is such an underrated gem.
Gentlemen Broncos
Thanks guys! Had not heard of that one.
John Norman has been cranking it in the chat for hours.
So has Gene Roddenberry.
Star Trek was always horny.
Damn, I thought nothing could get worse than Beverly the ghost diddler bust I guess I was wrong.
It’s the episode that introduced Kahless and Surak to Star Trek lore.
Damn really? Alright, respect.
“I want to help you, George Washington? Even your dreams are square.”
Probably actually Bizarro George Washington, then.
Evidence that the musical episode is only like the seventh goofiest premise in Star Trek. And I’m not even counting anything from Lower Decks.
It was the 60’s what do you want from them???
I mean this is pretty true of any Star Trek series. DS9 from the 90s probably has the widest gulf between grim and goofy episodes; in one episode there’s a war criminal who gloats about committing genocide and getting away with it, and another episode from the same season has the cast playing hopscotch.
“Alamarein”
dies of cringe
They never really resolved the tribble issue. I really want to know if they had to call in the Klingons to help get rid of them again after that episode

All great sci fi has its moments of levity. People who can’t or won’t accept that, I don’t know what to tell ya.
I’m all for it personally
Isn’t it funny that the events of modern day are hundreds of years past for the members of Starfleet, yet all of their cultural references and entertainment options revolve around our period?
Haha, and sometimes they even try to throw in some made up one to address that, and it sounds goofy.
“Famous leaders, such as Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill, and Xergon the Merciful!”
REAL SIMULATED EVIL LINCOLN IS BACK!
that’s right.
