Harbinger is the worst episode of ENT. The captain and the alien of the week are maybe 6 minutes of the episode. The rest is a bunch of bullshit with resolving the conflicts in the crew that had been brewing all season.

Only saving grace is the fight scene, but then the macho American space marine gets schooled by lieutenant mister bean? Lolwut

What the hell do they think this is, Hamlet, Gone With the Wind, Ruggles of Red Gap? It’s a goddamned space western, aliens in rubber masks, you know the drill!

My favorite is the repair tool from S1 PIC, the one powered by imagination. Lets just create and forget a magic wand that commoditizes the entire engineering department 🙃

Enterprise was not bad at all.

Phlox, rub some decontamination gel on this revisionist history! The worst part was absolutely all the oily creeper shots.

Absolutely peak quark 👂👌

Odo used harumph. It’s super effective!

Edit: also this, meant only as a jest 🖖 :

Incredibly well done episode. Not sure others have mentioned these, but I really really liked these things in particular:

• Reno has great presence and delivery. And the sharpest uniform.
• I’m glad the announcer from Children’s Hospital fell through an anomaly and arrived in Starfleet Academy.
• English graffiti and open flames everywhere! J/k how could they get everything else so right but then fumble this so poorly. You’re telling me the venari ral are space romans, but not romulans?

A great first season, I feel like they know what they’re doing and I want more.

I was kind of bummed by the explanation of why Discovery couldn’t jump with the spore drive

I loved this episode and the season in general , but I must disagree.

I felt like they respected their audience too much to leave us with freezer thoughts like “what about disco’s magic mushroom warp?”

They are in the middle of — it’s not just drinking from one firehose, there’s probably ten thousand hoses. And so everything is just happening slower as a result of this massive time of transition. And that is not exclusive to Star Trek.

As a corporate drone I see this as an absolute win.

The odds are near their highest that Academy will be rubberstamped simply because it passes a triage check and they’re too busy to bikeshed the details.

At the bar celebrating his new commission aboard Voyager he met an ensign named Mariner.

This was an problem that Picard showrunner Terry Matalas ran into when he pitched his Star Trek: Legacy spinoff series set on board the USS-Enterprise-G (formerly USS Titan), as all of those sets were destroyed immediately after Picard season 3 wrapped up, adding significant startup costs to recreate everything for a new show.

Ah so that’s why that sets are relevant. No sets no spinoff.

He's been meaning to ask her why her uniform is a catsuit made of office carpet.
