TNG 6x20 The Chase and 7x15 Lower Decks thoughts (rewatching, so possible future spoilers for DS9 too)
I’ve temporarily paused my DS9 re-watch after 2x20 Maquis Part 1 to go through all the Cardassian episodes in TNG to get a better picture of the build up: 4x12, 5x03, 6x10, 6x11, 6x20 and 7x15.
6x20 The Chase
Admittedly, I skipped the first half of this because as I skimmed through the plot on Memory Alpha, there was no mention of Cardassians until later on XD
Lady Captain Cardassian! I feel like they're pretty rare, it's sas I'm so excited by this
Tfw there's a looong pause... and you're watching it on 1.5x speed. Just how long was that pause in normal time?!
Living for the Klingon-Cardassian banter
Data just THRASHING that Klingon. I love him so much
The Klingon is so INTO Data - this is flirting, right?
"You are attempting to bribe me." "Not at all." "You suggested a plan that would work to your advantage, one that I would be capable of executing. You then implied a reward. Clearly you were."
I think Nu'Daq might be my new favourite one-off character
Cardassian treachery! Gotta love it
Federation smarts! Gotta love it XD
"I will go with you" but imma be salty about it
Just wondering why I hadn't seen Miles about since season 4, then realised that, of course, he's on DS9 XD Doh!
Romulans from nowhere :o
I do like the plan to answer the long-standing why-is-everyone-humanoid question
>> Thinking about the word humanoid the other day, do you think the other species hear their own word through the UT? Kingonoid and Romuloid or so forth.
Haha they disagree, so much for coming together in fellowship and companionship
Romulan ending <3 "Perhaps, one day." "One day."
7x15 Lower Decks
Deanna and Riker are just nice
Love the Vulcan
Bajor mention!
Very professional, waiter, to spill the beans lilke that!
I do love this episode, and seeing the command from the outside
I hope their friendship isn't ruined by promotion. They seem very sweet
Having said that, I suddenly have a horrible feeling Sita dies in this episode
Beverly is so lovely
Lost. Puppy. What?
Awwwwwkward. "They both get a lot of snow." Love how Riker just seems amused.
Yeah, this episode is great, only getting to see what one of the lower decks see
Did he also think Wesley should have been expelled?
I love this Vulcan. And I love Geordie, but his frustration with Taurik is pretty amusing
I'm a fan of this poker juxtaposition scene - interesting that they've broken away from just the lower decks characters.
Hah, okay, Lavelle does annoy Riker
Lol "You and Lavelle are a lot alike." "What? We're not at all alike." "You're bluffing."
I really love this Ben guy. Inclusion of a civilian just being friends with whoever is super cute
Okay, Worf is actually being pretty good here? I find myself liking him in this episode.
Ohhhh "I wanted to make sure that you got a fair chance to redeem yourself", that makes far more sense - no wonder I felt he was a little out of character in the first scene with her, he was acting.
"I didn't realise she would be so young."
The feels. She's so excited and proud and knowing what happens... it hurts.
Oh, the promotion. I'm tearing up. This episode is making me FEEL
Ben, you are great. Nice job moving Worf.
Amazing how this episode is so moving when you barely know the characters. I loved the premise, and I love the execution of it. (Though damn you for killing off Sito.)
Again, we see a helpful Cardassian, but get the overall impression Cardassia is still a threat.

I swear its just something about this ^ sexy bald man jean luc picard that attracts a very specific type of woman:
1. MILF
2. Strong, smart and powerful
Allow me to illustrate with examples (up til mid season 4)
Of course, starting with the OG MILF, Lwaxana Troi
Then the obvious choice, girlboss Beverly Crusher
Picard's shrewd and sexy summer fling, Vash
Brilliant, witty conwoman, Ardra
Honorable mention: the man, the myth, the legend, Q

i had a dream last night that was pretty Star Trek related, it started with my dad finding this youtube documentary about Captain Picard and existensial fear, and at one point it started turning into something like an episode of TNG and it was really silly and stupid
so like, there was this alien guy on the ship who was like this tall humanoid-ish guy who was part goat, like he had the torso of a completely white slim human but the head of a smug-semi human goat with completely black eyes, and these stupid little silicone ears that you can tell are just makeup'd on cause you can see the seam of the hat they used for the goat ears. it was like, completely shirtless with visible muscle, had goat hooves for its hands and feet and these black tights it'd wear too. he was like a smug pale twink with a goat-like head. its power was that it could infiltrate your thoughts and give you seering pain through making you think of and believe in intrusive thoughts, causing pain and intense anxiety to the crewmates of the ship. and every time he'd do this, he'd cross his arms and just smile at the person with his stupid little shit eating smirk. this obviously annoyed Picard because it kept trying to screw up control of the ship by giving everyone these intrusive thoughts, so he decided to play some mind games with it to try to stop it, to counter the thoughts that it was sending to confuse it and stun it.
the way it was defeated was that Captain Picard started fucking chasing it in circles around the bridge like he was a child playing tag with it and was like trying to gaslight it into thinking he wasn't chasing it by just yelling "NO I'M NOT" every time the goat alien said he was, thus countering its thoughts for long enough to be able to stun and apprehend it, and the alien was so embarrassed by being defeated this way that when it was sent back to its master's planet, he refused to tell the rest of the aliens the true story of what happened on the ship for like a month out of pure shame. it was. extremely funny.

Praise and Pining
Remember the old song "Anything You Can Do I can Do Better"?
I kinda saw that with Q in Q-Less.
Q to Sisko: Picard and his lackeys would've solved this (problem) ages ago."
Q to Sisko:"No wonder you're not in command of a starship"
Q to Vash: "At least your beloved Jean-Luc knew how to turn a phrase."
Translated becomes:
🎶🎶Anything you can do Picard can do better!
Picard can do anything better than you!
Sisko: No, he can't!
Q: Yes, he can!
Sisko: No, he can't!
Q: Yes, he can! Yes, he can!
Q: You hit me. Picard never hit me.
Sisko: I'm not Picard.
🎶🎶Q: Anything you can be Jean-Luc can be better! Jean-Luc can be anything better than you!
Sisko: No, he can't!
Q: Yes, he can!
Sisko: No, he can't!
Q: Yes, he can! Yes, he can!
🎶🎶 Q:
Yes, he caaaannn!
