Pinned
i’ve talked about this before on my blog but i’m making this post so i can pin it/reblog it randomly. if you’re seeing this and thinking oh no it was posted too long ago? no. i want to perpetuate trek wars until i run out of content. i still welcome comments <3
the situation
every week, i participate in a cultural scifi exchange called ✨trek wars✨, where i (a star trek nerd) show my friend (a star wars nerd) one episode of the original series of star trek, and she shows me two episodes from one of the animated star wars series.
as of writing this, we’re halfway through season 3 of tos and more than halfway through rebels. we’ll watch the bad batch next, and we have some live action star wars tv to watch, but the amount of star trek content out there (tv- and movie-wise) vastly outstrips star wars content, so we won’t be able to watch whole star trek shows without running out of star wars content. (also we watch an episode a week so i think we might actually die of old age before finishing all of star trek. you do the math.) so!
the request
please give me your favourite star trek bottle episodes! anything where you don’t need to know the plot of the whole show or have intricate knowledge of the interpersonal dynamics to keep up. it could be an episode you think is so good it should’ve won awards, or an episode that is so bad that you think it should’ve won awards. (yes, we’ve already watched threshold <3) if you love it, i wanna hear about it!
i would love anything from tng, ds9, voy, tas, dis, or ent.
(no pic, snw, pro, or lds please! the first two i haven’t seen, and the last two are too referential to other star trek imo)
and if you read this whole thing thank you and i love you. live long and prosper 🖖🏻
