  • Is there a list of important/key episodes – but not just the good episodes?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I recently rewatched that episode and was really annoyed by it. The story only works because every crewmember behaves like a completely naive idiot.

  • So it kind of depends on how strictly you define “important.”

    You're right. Your list makes it quite clear that when the bar for importance is too low, 90% of all episodes end up being important. From season 1 I'd include 5 episodes in the list of important episodes: Encounter at Farpoint (setting up Q and everything), Where No One Has Gone Before (introduces the Traveller), Datalore (introduces Lore), Skin of Evil (kills of Tasha), The Neutral Zone (Romulans and Borg implied). Those episodes are a good example of what I was going for: none of them is above average but they're still important. "Where No One Has Gone Before" maybe comes the closest to being good.

    Sidenote: I recently rewatched TNG season 1 and found it oddly charming. There are a lot of bad episodes but almost every episode had something going for it. You could see what they were aiming for but often couldn't stick the landing. And the music was really great, unlike in the rest of the Berman era.

  • I've also frequented Jammer's Reviews for years because most of the time I agree with him. I also used it for the watchlist for my GF but building that list purely on good episodes gave me the idea to ask what the important episodes actually were.

    I didn't know about Kethinov. Thanks for that.

  • I see your point. What I tried to assess is: which episodes enhance the viewing experience by rewarding the viewer for sticking around. For example, watching "Datalore" before "Brothers" is definitely not required. But it gives you some good backstory on Lore. Similarly, watching the various Maquis episodes on TNG and DS9 is not necessary to understand the Maquis characters on VOY but it's a nice slow buildup that contextualizes a few things. Or TNG's "The Price" and VOY's "False Profits" – neither of them are really good episodes but it's a "oh hey, they picked up that storyline from years ago" moment that I feel is very rewarding.

    And of course my all-time favorite joke when Worf hears that Keiko is having another baby and he reacts with "Now!?!?". It only really works when you've seen "Disaster" before.

  • Well, at least they recognize Worf as one of the greats. {{:-)

    But I find that "Duty! Honor! Service!" shouting really repulsive. I find it rather undignified. I can't for one second imagine Picard, Riker or any of the other classic characters doing that in their academy years.

  • Wo kauft man interessante Herrenkleidung?

    Jump

  • Glaub aber die sind im Stil schon auf klassische Anzüge festgelegt

    Ja. Die Qualität ist auch sehr gut, aber ich habe dort eher schlechte Erfahrungen bei der Beratung gemacht. Bei Rooks&Rocks war es ein richtiges Gespräch, bei dem meine Wünsche berücksichtigt wurden; bei Kuhn hatte hatte ich hingegen eher den Eindruck, dass der Verkäufer einfach sein Programm abspult und mir irgendwas aufquatscht.

    War jetzt schon mehrfach bei R&R und werde da auch in Zukunft bleiben. Zu Kuhn bringt mich so schnell nichts mehr.

  • Wo kauft man interessante Herrenkleidung?

    Jump

  • Falls du Anzüge magst, gibt es genug Herrenschneider, die moderne Anzüge in "Nicht-Business-Farben" schneidern. Das sieht dann mitunter alles andere als altbacken aus. Ist natürlich nicht ganz günstig. (Persönliche Empfehlung: Rooks & Rocks, die haben dutzende (hunderte?) Muster zur Auswahl)
