I remember watching the show on TV by chance when it was on the air; the intro was exciting, and then boom, the theme song. I didn’t watch it again for a decade or more.
It’s a shame, because the show was actually pretty decent. The horrific into song drive so many people away. And when they tried to improve it for S03, it only made it worse.
IMO, finally back on the rails. if S01 and S02 just vanished from existence, I…. think I’d sleep easier. as far as I’m concerned, they didn’t happen.
I mean, really— am I to believe that Dr. Baltar was Picard’s dad and that the Borg Queen had an impromptu Pat Benatar solo with full jazz accompaniment? That Picard’s mom killed herself in the family chateau in some fantastical dream crossover with some Nazi/Borg dream allegory? No! Rafa got the good shit, and we all got to ride along. Time-travel repressed-memory fever-dream hallucination over. S01 and S02 and their shitty writing didn’t happen.
S03 was awesome and self-contained, and that’s all I care to remember.
lmao…. I dunno. the whole “twin towers 9/11” allegory that led into the Delphic Expanse and the pursuit of the Xindi was both terrible and also led to some cool stories.
overall, it really sucked, though. and, yeah, sorry for missing what you were talking about, lol. I’m tired.
Tough not to touch on it, given when the show was airing. Using it as the arc for the whole season is a bit taxing. “Proving Ground” is definitely the highlight for me.
fair. I really hated the show at the time, but I’ve come to love it a lot in rewatching it, so perhaps I have a different perspective of it than you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, I totally kept thinking he was going to pull out his Aerilon accent and turn into some kind of raving monster or something. Kind of sad that didn’t happen.
Also, given that he and Bashir look so alike, and that Bashir is genetically enhanced… are we also to believe that they just basically tried their best to turn him into Picard’s dad?

Straight off the rails in season 3

Yes, you are to believe those things.
