Reginald Barclay has to be one of the most tradic characters ever.
Addicted to holosuites, reverted to a protohumans, afraid of transporters, becomes the most advanced human ever (only to have that taken from him).
On the other side thou he did find a way to communicate with Voyager and other successes after he left The Enterprise. So maybe The Enterprise was the problem and not Barclay.

Me: I just can't get into Klingon politics. I am so bored. I feel guilt about not enjoying this episode.
My brain: That is an impressively specific thing to feel guilty about.
Me: <ten minutes later> HOLY SHIRTBALLS! Worf is leaving the Enterprise! WHOAH! Well I guess this episode isn't so boring after all!
Me: <ten minutes later> TASHA YAR! <waving hands wildly> THAT'S TASHA YAR! OH MY GOD! WHY IS TASHA YAR A ROMULAN!?? WHO DID HER HAIR?? WHAT IS HAPPENING
These Romulans are real stinkers.
At TerrifiCon last weekend I met one of my heros. In the mid-1990s Boole & Babbage got the rights to film a commercial on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation. They hired Jonathan Frakes to speak at events, and I was hired to speak at one in Boston. We talkid for a few minutes before going on stage.
I remember that conversation as though it were last week. #startrek #sttng #frakes

Incredibly lucky and incredibly tragic. Jeri Ryan’s stand-in in Picard, Margot, was diagnosed with a rapid form of #ALS, a fatal degenerative disease. The #Trek family has organized a #GoFundMe. It’s tragic she has this terrible condition that will kill her in two years. She’s lucky to have such an influential community to help.

This is why we need universal healthcare.

Ok, so this post from https://mstdn.social/@SeanAloysiusOBrien@tenforward.social (and subsequent replies from https://mstdn.social/@Taweret@octodon.social et al.) got me thinking: What are the Star Trek Extended Universe versions of Chekhov's Gun?*
https://tenforward.social/@SeanAloysiusOBrien/110794351529449709
Off the top of my head we've got:
nebulae
terraforming/colonization/et al.
experiment
warp drive modification
novae/supernovae
treaty negotiations
Any I've missed?
*All puns intended. Deal. With. It.

More #StarTrek #STTNG: I truly love the character of Troi (one of my faves!) but I keep wanting her to be able to do more! Sometimes she gets to have a really important insight that adds value to the situation, but a lot of the time it's like:
Incredibly Hostile Character: <says Incredibly Hostile Thing> <waves hands in Incredibly Hostile Fashion> <makes Incredibly Hostile Threat>
Picard: Counselor Troi?
Troi: I think he really means it, Captain.
Just about finished watching the whole of #STTNG and the big take-aways from the whole thing are:
a) Everybody is constantly angry in space, and
b) Star Fleet is a pretty awful organisation.
Really enjoying Star Trek: TNG reruns. I've hit season 3, and I have a lot of questions.
1. Why did the beard make Riker so foxy?
2. When the alien walked in to sick bay and asked Dr. Crusher what the patient was sick with, and she told her, are we to infer there is no HIPAA in the 24th century?
3. Troi and Guinan should really team up.
4. Are we just going to not talk about the fact that Wesley created a sentient race in a school project?
@purple @Zerofactorial\@noc.social@noc.social @Taweret\@octodon.social It is what they don't want you to know #sttng #muppet #conspiracy
@Taweret She makes some insightful points in the end https://youtu.be/EUrOxh_0leE?t=3252 #muppet #STTNG
"My brother, it is you who does not see. You look for battles in the wrong place. The test of the warrior is not without, it is within. Here, here we meet the challenge. It is the weaknesses in here a warrior must overcome.
Yet in all you say, where are the words duty, honor, loyalty?Without which a warrior is nothing!"
I have always loved TNG Season 1 episode "Heart of Glory". And Worf's speech is personally powerful for me.
Anger and violence are easy. Self-mastery isn't.
