(Seriously, I never noticed how common they were until I watched the TNG Honest Trailer.)<br /><br />Captain Freeman decides the ship needs to be more efficient and starts working her crew to an early grave. Eh.<br /><br />Ransom and Mariner have a mutual attraction to one another, despite getting on each others' last nerves.<br /><br />BEST. ENDING. EVER. In the far distant future, Chief Miles Edward O'Brien is hailed as the most important Starfleet officer in history. HELL.

In the past two episodes, the comedy could be treated as playing things loose, but the Captain's demands were so extreme this week it crossed that fuzzy line from funny-but-realistic into funny-because-it's-unrealistic. That's not inherently a bad thing— I laughed enough throughout the episode. It's just going to take some getting used to. And it's going to make it harder to reconcile the traditional idea of the Star Trek canon when you've got such over-the-top moments to try to rationalize.<br /><br />The funniest part about the concert? That apparently no one enjoyed Mariner's act either, they reacted almost exactly the same.<br /><br />A good Flare question: Was that Klingon Bird-of-Prey intended to be a new design, or the animated style of the same old model? I could see an argument for either side... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Malnurtured Snay</b> <br /><small>Member # 411</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2020,7,21,4,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 21, 2020</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:28 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">BEST.
