Sure it is. It may be flashier, have a larger budget, and largely miss the spirit of the series at that time… I had a point here somewhere.

Eh, pick and choose what bits you enjoy.

A bit conflicted, I imagine.

Guinan: Morn. First of all, your tab is clear, but only because of that thing you did for me on Risa. Second, how the hell did you get here so quick? I just opened this place!

Meanwhile…

I’m fond of the The Borg Hive (ASMR loop)

Now, here’s the twist, and there is a twist.

We show it.

We show all of it.

Because what’s the one major thing missing from all sci-fi these days, guys?

Full penetration.

Guys, we’re going to show full penetration, and we’re going to show a lot of it.

I mean, we’re talking, you know, graphic scenes of Riker really going to town on this hot, young engineer.

From behind, 69, anal, vaginal, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl - all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones.

And then he explores again.

He’s out scanning for life forms.

Then he’s back to the warp core for some more full penetration.

Explores, back to the core, full penetration.

Explore, penetration, explore, full penetration, explore, penetration…

And this goes on and on, and back and forth for 40 or so minutes until the episode just sort of ends.

Oh great. He’s staring at me again.

Ah, the 'ole Janeway method.

It’s alive!

As much as the show pivoted from season to season, they still managed to wrangle it into a fun series. Totally worth it for

There’s a salve for that. I’ll have Astro get it for you.

More specifically, Weird Al’s parody “I think I’m a Clone Now”

Charlie aka Krinn the Vulcan Gangster constantly being reminded of the spiders in his blood.

Worked with a guy who could pick up a dime with one of the forks. About the only thing he could do with precision, but still impressive.

Isn’t it strange?

Feels like I’m lookin’ in the mirror

What would people say if only they knew that I was

Part of some transporter tech’s plan

Born to be a carbon copy man

There on a transport pad late one night

They took a buffer pattern, sent it, did it all again and so I say

I think I’m a clone now

There’s always two of me just a-hangin’ around

I think I’m a clone now

'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down

A slightly less abusive relationship.
