When I turned 21, my dad took me to a Star Trek thing in Vegas. There was a Borg invasion sim and then we got to have drinks at Quarks (I got some gigantic fucking fish bowl of blue stuff). It was fun, but I barely remember it because of that giant blue drink. lol
I had gotten a shirt that was a riff on the old "Im with Stupid" joke that said "I'm with Illogical." I don't know where it is now tho...
One of the best ST episodes. Dark. But not the darkest. That one's Hard Time, also DS9. When O'Brien is condemned and has decades of memory of incarceration implanted before his superiors can get their butts down to the planet. Then we see his descent to the bottom.
Not necessarily dark, but I think the most tragic is "The Sound of Her Voice" where they try to rescue the standard captain on an unbreathable atmosphere planet....
Yeah that and Inner Light. Like HOW THE FUCK Picard just show up to work the next day and not completely shattered by being forced to live a 75 year life with a wife, kids, and everyone he loves dying?!
The chase scene where Excelsior tries to stop the Enterprise from escaping Spacedock has more drama, tension, and excitement than maybe any scene in the Kelvin movies (with everything racing around so fast all gravitas is lost).
@ValueSubtracted Not my favourite of the franchise, but it definitely has some peak moments for me. Christopher Lloyd's performance was inspired & the ending had me in tears, as did many of the TOS era films. <3
