TNG: Firstborn
Well this one was kinda fun. The twist was a little silly but it made for some nice scenes with Worf and [SPOILER]. Alexander episodes aren't usually this good! Worf continues to be a bad dad until the last scene, but unlike most Alexander episodes there's some actual intrigue and mystery to keep things moving and make the episode interesting to watch. Nice character moments between Picard and Worf are there, and Riker gets command for a while which is always nice and helps differentiate this episode from the filler. Also, it slots into DS9 continuity perfectly without it being strictly necessary to have seen DS9 to enjoy the episode!
–––––SPOILERS BEYOND–––––
The episode starts with Worf ignoring what his son wants and trying to convince him to be a warrior. This quest suddenly becomes the Enterprise's top priority, and the whole ship goes to some Klingon party. There's an assassination attempt, and a guy who's proud of his ring thwarts it after Worf almost overpowers the bad guys.
Why does Quark answer when they call up Deep Space 9? He tells them where to find Lursa and Betor, who are suspected of staging the assassination attempt. Also Worf's new friend wants Alexander to be a warrior. They find Lursa and Betor, but they're actually innocent for once.
Worf catches "K'mtar" trying to kill Alexander, and it turns out that its because he IS alexander from the future! Nah, no way that's true he actually can act. They were running out of relatives to dish out at the end of the show, so they're doubling up now. The episode ends on a nice note with Worf letting Alexander not do the training for the day.
Rating: 4/5 (good!)

some more good faces from Past Prologue.........it was tough picking which ones I would actually draw, just bc there are SO MAny Good FAces this ep!!!
Also, how much money do I gotta give for a sprawling epic about Lursa and B’Etor??? It’d be so cool for them to have motivations beyond gaining power, and be like, actual well rounded characters huh.......i still think they are rly cool tho......

OF COURSE I put joints in their titty-windows. It’s what Roddenberry would have wanted. #KlingonBloodWeed

I don't like the Duras sisters because one of their names is Lursa and the other is Betor but my brain always calls them Lursa and Dursa Duras

Star Trek DS9 Rewatch Log, Stardate 1904.22: Missions Reviewed, “The Emissary,” “Past Prologue,” and “A Man Alone.”
I have never made any secret of the fact that Deep Space Nine is my favorite of the Star Trek series. Though the show was derided by Trekkies for years, I came around fairly early, won over by wonderful performances and character development, and the nascent appearance of something that would become standard on TV in just a few years, but was pioneered here: story arcs. I have often told my fellow Trekkies, if you really want to appreciate what DS9 does, don’t pick out ONE good episode; watch all 173 of them.
The show ran from 1993-1999 and my early military career created a lot of obstacles to finding them all.  However, a growing home video market (“wait, you can buy ENTIRE tv shows on DVD????”) allowed me to catch them all, and what a treat it was! I realized recently I had not watched all of DS9 in probably 15 years; I’d last watched them all while “Enterprise” was still on (speaking of things I need to rewatch…).  So, on a whim this week, given that DISCO has gone on hiatus after a second season that found its footing to be a lot more sure than its first season, I decided to see how a couple of decades changed how I see DS9. So here we go:
“The Emissary:” I remembered this one being very cerebral, and that hasn’t changed.  We get good introductions to all of the characters, and watch Sisko come to terms with what he had lost to the Borg (and an assimilated Picard) at Wolf 359. My wife Jennifer (who bless her soul is sitting through this with me, particularly since DS9 is HER favorite Trek too) pointed out something that works very well here and holds up:  Ben Sisko and his relationship with his son Jake.  Jake is still really a child here, and having kept up with Cirroc Lofton over the years, it’s hard not to be taken aback by how young he seems.
Tumblr media
  Along with that, all of these characters are still just appearing on stage, trying to find their voice- except of course O’Brien who has been at this fairly regularly on TNG. In the end we get the ingredients for an interesting political allegory for an oppressed people finding freedom, the role a superpower like the Federation should play in nation building, and a mix of politics, religion, and character conflict that neither TOS nor TNG was quite willing to take on. DS9 has not found its potential in “The Emissary,” but the pot is put on to brew.
“Past Prologue:” One of the early reasons I began to admire Kira Nerys as a character, we see another Bajoran freedom fighter come on the station, and he may in fact still be in the terrorist business.  Kira has to look at her past and what she wanted to accomplish then versus now, and make a choice as to what she wants to see a liberated Bajor be.  There’s a quick TNG tie-in with short appearances by Lursa and Betor, the Duras sisters from the TNG Klingon arcs (also written by Ron D Moore) and we see a Cardassian Gul played by Vaughn Armstrong. He will later play Admiral Forrest in ENTERPRISE, but that’s just one of TWELVE different roles Armstrong has played across Trek. 
Tumblr media
Let’s hope he gets a chance to show up on DISCO too.  Speaking of Admirals, the Starfleet flag officer we see here is played by Susan Bay Nimoy. She’ll make an appearance in a later episode as well. Perhaps most importantly though, we meet a Cardassian tinker and tailer, and perhaps once a soldier but certainly no spy, plain simple Garak. Knowing he will become one of DS9’s best characters, watching him just kind of be making excuses to hit on Bashir is pretty funny.
Tumblr media
Then, “A Man Alone:” Odo is framed for the murder of a former troublemaker released from prison by the new provisional government. The plot is a little too perfect though, and it’s Bashir through SCIENCE who finds the victim is in fact a clone, killed by the original criminal so he could set up Odo. And yes, apparently you can both go to jail for killing your own clone, and Bashir can accidentally make a whole new person in his lab while proving what was going on, and that clone is just going to go join Bajoran society. This one is curious for its B-story as Chief O’Brien’s wife Keiko decides to open a school, and tried to convince the “Ferengi Pit Boss” from the pilot episode, Rom, to send his son Nog (nephew of course to Quark) to the human school.  Max Grodénchik and the writers have not yet settled on Rom as the adorkable yutz we will know him as later, and he’s more of the stereotypical Ferengi.  
Tumblr media
The blossoming Jake/Nog friendship though is a delight, particularly knowing where those characters are going.
Next Voyage: “Babel,” where someone FINALLY acknowledges everyone in the Galaxy doesn’t just speak English!

there’s a terrible old star trek fan theory that everything that happened after picard was picked up by the nexus ribbon in generations was a dream that picard had while inside the nexus, ala kirk’s wierd self-insert autobiographical fanfiction dream
BUT
literally the first thing guinan says about the enterprise b prologue is that the nexus ribbon “is a doorway, to a place we call the nexus” aka THE RIBBON IS NOT, ITSELF THE DREAM PLACE, and also that place is real and not imaginary at all anyways
also she says it exists outside of space and time akin to the celestial temple of the prophets inside the bajoran wormhole, and picard can use it to go anywhere (again, this is DIALOGUE IN THE FILM from someone who went in and came back out) and also this is after picard’s burning sense of justice broke him out of his own perfect dream fiction (which to be fair, was picard saying, ‘look this is nice but i can’t let lursa and friggin betor get their hands on a sun destroyer, literally **trillions** of lives are at stake here’, bc picard GIVES A SHIT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, UNLIKE KIRK WHO ONLY THINKS OF HIMSELF*)
anyways star trek: generations, or, a very star trek christmas, is not just my favorite trek film but also one of my favorite movies, and my second favorite xmas movie without xmas in it, after die hard, and a lot of that is bc malcolm mcfriggindowell is amazing in this as a gruff surly asshole who is the literal opposite of picard in a way kirk never really was
also he sucker punches, like, everyone, it is his classic move and i love it
ppl have spent 24 years complaining about how none of the next gen movies are any good but this movie is a good movie and a good next gen expansion of scope and budget, i honestly don’t understand why ppl don’t love this
