okay nother tng thoughts dump

- i think just in general. checking now, i realise im halfway through s7 of tng... and im kinda? indifferent?? i feel- I FEEL SO BAD for saying that. but i remember being so torn up abt being so close to the end of tos and with tng im just like. okay! onto the next show!

- i jsut dont think its been quite IT for me. like its deffo someone elses fave and it is written well and i can see why its iconic but theres still always just something missing.... that i can never quite grasp. im not even sure if it sjust one big thing, but just lots of little pieces that it just misses for me.

- and like i said its still rlly good. i think i feel abt tng the same way i feel abt s5 of nuwho. like yeah this is done well for what it is but this just doesnt totally mesh with my vibe but i see why ppl respect it yah?

- anyway specific eps: descent was perhaps one of the better lore episodes, i think? like- here's the thing with lore... again not to liken it to doctor who. im such a guy whos only seen doctor who and no other tv shows but in my defence i am thinking abt dw right now. soooo. anyways. lore is like simms!master and i dont mean in terms of them both balancing the #girlboss and #malewife act perfectly but i mean with respects to like. kind of a campy character concept thats hard to take serious but the actor is doing it well, and the character is enjoyable - however, they end up in some... naff episodes... and when theyre not theyre not always utilised to their potential which makes it a little harder to deal with which is a shame bc i do LIKE the thought of them both as my wretched little meow meows but yah yah yah . none of those were words were they babe. hmmm.

- i liked gambit, interface and i really liked phantasms but thats because anything data or geordi focussed has me, easy. their eps are always my favourites - i mean, i also like beverly eps, but i feel like she hasnt had a solid one for a while. :( wahhh boohoo.

- gambit was also one of my more . favourite two parters i think it was done well. i think tng two part episodes have been very hit or miss in the past- esp the mid season ones.

- ATTACHED. that was an ep i had a lot ofthoguths about

- because well this is also sort of a beverly ep actually so i take it back i liked this one too !! and also whilst being lukewarm on picard- here's the thing?? i usually quite like... picard focussed eps. i just find him annoying when he kinda ends up as, like, the resolution for someone else's story which happens a lot (or it feels like it). and the parts of picard that i do like generally are looking deeper into him as a guy ya know

- HOWEVER. i think this also... is one thing that i dont personally like abt tng? its- i guess its mroe of a personal thing, but i jsut... i WISH there were more developments, like acrosss the whole 7 seasons. i know with tos, there werent that many- and i found that okay? because it was only 3 seasons long. but i just kinda wish there'd been more... progression than there was? im not asking for, like, huge changes here; nor am i saying that there was none whatsoever.. i just wish thered been a bit more than there was.

- like im sayin this bc we finally confront the whole beverly and picard thing that was fully established... inthe pilot ep. and idk man. im not saying i wanted them to have some sort of thing going on- god no. but if im gonna be actually honest? i sometimes would genuinely forget abt it. bc its been so long and honestly.. i dont get much chemistry from them. the only indication i ever get from them ever having any connection is when they just. openly state something and im like oh uh i guess fine. like vibes wise they just.. dont have anything there when they actually interact.

- and my thing is like. i just wish tng kind of... had done this episode earlier is all. its season 7 and stuff and i guess theyre wrapping up. but you know. or maybe not earlier- but if they wanted to wait until now, i just wish it would have felt... still relevant? because it did not feel still relevant honestly. and its like. im finding it so hard to describe but again it just feels like....

- i could watch an ep from anywhere in tng and i wouldnt be able to tell u what season it was. i mean okay: im disregarding s1&s2 being badly written... but other than that, like, in terms of character dynamics and stuff and one or two ppl being present (alexander, ro, pulaski or wesley) i could give u no ballpark. and thats good in many ways bc u can drop in wherever and im sure tht a lot of ppl like that but it does seem so stagnant to me. like after seven whole seasons. and like i said i dont think there should be big changes or anything but i would have liked to see... a little bit more? im not sure what exactly. just more of something.

- and i guess thats also just more of an issue of me watching it as a modern day viewer who is bingeing and seeing this all as one long continuous thing. i think thats also definitely to its detriment and accounting for that i dont find it so bad- since i know television culture was different, even just for purely practical reasons.

- also with attached i just. RAMBLED THERE but i really did like this ep. again im a sucker for beverly honestly and i did like them talking abt their shit ultimately.

- force of nature. dont have much to say abt this ep - like i think its one of those, where im like i like the thought you're going with but the execution kinda made it miss and im like eh but that one quote. where is it: "You know, Geordi, I spent the better part of my life exploring space. I've charted new worlds, I've met dozens of new species, and I believe that these were all valuable ends in themselves. Now it seems that… all this while, I was… helping to damage the thing that I hold most dear." <- yeah that shit gets ya doesnt it just babe

- AND INHERITANCE. MY GOODNESS ME. i actually really rated this ep - again, data focus gets me easy. but i liked data's mam honestly.... i mean she did you know. leave him and stuff and ... yeah. im not totally mad abt that and the complexity with android stuff. i think i have more to say but its not coming to me right now so later xxxx

- i also liked parallels but i found worf/deanna. weird. i mean the thing is i dont hate it conceptually actually but i just feel like we dont get enough one on one with them. i think its just... i like how she helped him with alexander but that always did kind of feel like a ships counselor relationship between her and worf which i guess thats the vibe thats putting me off?? bc thats like. her job. not saying she obviously doesnt care but with regards to her advising him and stuff. idk maybe im just being strange

- BUT I LIKED THIS. AS A WORF EP. ITS THE FIRST WORF EP IVE LIKED IN A WHILE- which i feel bad abt bc i do like worf but as i said in the last one of these ramlbes, his eps dont usally work for me and i wont re-ramble about that but yah it was nice bc this one didnt have the issues i usually have with his :3 i liked it. THAT PART WHERE THEY KILL THE FUCKED UP UNIVERSE ENTERPRISE WAS BONKERS THOUGH LIKE HELLO MY GOODNESS ME.

- anyways yehs i think thats all i have to say so far. love and light kiss kiss kis. im onto the pegasus which im kind of interested in . also i had more to say abt specific eps this time, omg... i think its just. s7 so far i kinda like i think :3
