Having a pretty rough fucking go of it right now.

So here's some gifs that give me life, for no reason except I need cheering up and I gotta do it myself so I'm just going to shamelessly simp for a minute

I'm still dying over "Hey guys meet my new best friend" iconic honestly

I just know this silly goose has cracked that "one arm tied behind my back" joke ten thousand times over but the crew still laughs at it anyway and seriously who wouldn't look at him he's just so precious

Honestly used to be genuinely afraid of clowns and now I'm the opposite so does this count as therapy? Counts as therapy right?

The slutty lace-up shoulders in his coat. The little eye roll. The "thank you" that clearly translates to "I'm too fabulous to fuck with you go away." YOUR HONOR I LOVE HIM—

Me: I watch How to Train Your Dragon for the plot.

The Plot:

#This is such a dumb joke I'm sorry #i watch it for the plot #Basically a joke about those posts that say 'i watch [insert show] for a plot' and then after 'the plot' it's just a picture #of one of the hot characters #I'm sure y'all got it but just to be sure #how to train your dragon #my posts #Also excuse my shitty attempt at explaining the plot of How to Train Your Dragon #I know that movie like the back of my hand (dumb expression) but I've never had to explain it to someone

Reviewing Star Trek TNG - S3E19 "Captain's Holiday"

THE PREMISE

The Enterprise is returning from a two-week mission on Gemaris V where Picard successfully mediated a stressful business deal. The rest of the crew persuade him to take a vacation, and Picard eventually agrees to spend a week on the pleasure planet Risa.

MY REVIEW

I can appreciate wanting to do a breather episode, especially after how much I liked "Deja Q." And it is entertaining to see the entire crew conspiring to get Picard to take some time off. I like to think it was the threat of another encounter with Lwaxana Troi that finally convinced him.

Then Picard beams down, and we realise that Risa is basically the closest you could get to a sex colony without raising the ire of network censors, as indicated by a woman walking around with her arse hanging out as Picard beams down. I suppose I have to commend the cameramen for working one-handed.

This is Rubicun III all over again. And it doesn't even have Wesley Crusher being threatened with death!

It becomes even less subtle when it's revealed that Riker's little gift to Picard is called a Horga'hn and is basically the local way for someone to signal that they're DTF. I can't imagine why Riker liked coming here so much...

Anyway, the plot (by which I mean the actual plot, not the "I watch Star Trek for the plot" kind, though there's plenty of that) begins when Picard is approached by Vash (Jennifer Hetrick), who kisses him almost immediately after he beams down, seemingly to ward off a Ferengi named Rom Soval (Max Grodénchik). Because there's nothing more intimidating than a Ferengi in a tie-dye shirt who looks like my favourite lovable dumbass from DS9.

And yes, Picard walks around in that speedo for most of the episode.

They have an altercation, Soval accuses Picard and Vash of working together and demands that they return some disk to him. Picard of course denies knowing anything, and asks that they leave him alone, though Vash slips the disk into his pocket before he leaves.

Picard returns to his room to find a pair of Vorgons waiting for him. They appeared in the cold open, but I didn't think it was necessary to mention them. Don't worry, they're even more of an afterthought in the script than they are in this review.

They explain that they're a security team from the 27th century searching for an artefact called the Tox Uthat which was hidden somewhere in the 24th century. It's documented that Picard finds it, but that hasn't happened yet.

Okay, so we have some fun time travel shenanigans going on. I can at least give this episode credit for trying to do something interesting with its plot.

Picard finds the disk and confronts Vash about it. She explains that she was an assistant to the late Dr Samuel Estragon, who spent half his life looking for the Tox Uthat. The disk contains new information about its location, and Sovak had also worked with the doctor and is now determined to find it as well. Seemingly having nothing better to do, Picard agrees to help Vash look for it.

They have a brief altercation with Sovak on their way out, they head to a cave where the Uthat supposedly is, they decide to camp for the night, and Vash confesses to Picard that she lied to him - Sovak paid her for the disk and she used the money to get to Risa... and it's here that I realise that I give so little of a shit about these characters and this story that this reveal had no effect on me.

Perhaps sensing how utterly uninteresting this plotline is, the writers decided to spice it up by giving Picard and Vash... romantic tension? Including having them kiss?

Look, I know this isn’t the first time I’ve complained about romance in this franchise, and it certainly won’t be the last, but the problem with these subplots is not that they exist. It’s that so little effort is put into writing them that the romance never feels natural, and this one is no exception. It didn't surprise me to find out that this romance was Patrick Stewart's idea so Picard could get some action for once.

Anyway, Picard and Vash go to the Uthat's location, the Vorgons show up to watch Picard discover it (okay?) and Vash gets pissed at Picard for not telling her about them... even though she lied to him first and he's known her for less than a day, so he doesn't really owe her anything.

Then Sovak appears and forces them to dig at gunpoint, until it becomes clear that the Uthat isn't there. The Vorgons disappear and Picard and Vash leave Sovak to keep digging.

Back at the resort, Vash explains that the whole thing was actually a ploy to get Sovak to think the Uthat couldn't be found, and that she actually found it soon after she arrived. Then the Vorgons arrive to collect it, Vash says that the professor claimed that two Vorgons would attempt to steal the Uthat, so Picard destroys it, then the Vorgons say that Picard's actual destiny was to destroy it and they leave in peace?

Look, even if this episode wasn't just an excuse to have a bunch of scantily-clad models on set, it's such an utter failure from a writing perspective that there's no way I can get invested. Not only does the entire episode just feel pointless in retrospect, but there were so many left turns in that last scene that it was obvious that none of the writers could agree what the fuck this episode was meant to be about.

So Picard goes to leave, and Vash sees him off.

"I don't suppose there are any openings for an archaeologist aboard the Enterprise."

I mean, the last one kinda got blown up a few episodes ago, so it's not out of the question. But Picard isn't too eager to have another higher life form on board for another exploration of grief, so he makes some excuses and leaves, but not before kissing again. Because of course they do.

Well, I can at least say that I may have found a shore leave episode worse than “Let He Who Is Without Sin” from Deep Space Nine, which also takes place on Risa.

3/10 - The Star Trek equivalent of an anime beach episode.
