TNG's Mask, de-evolution, bonking grand mama's old boyfriend ghost was just... oy vay... But I am still waiting on you to make a video on Conspiracy, which if I am not mistaken, was originally going to be the big twist in TNG villians, instead of the Borg. The head exploding was apparently too gory for some audiences 😅
ENT had the imaginary (I think) Rock people with Trip seeing them and counterminding T'pol's orders. The sentient space base and kidnaps crew members as a form of (not talked about) payment. The sand lacrosse episode with Smexy Captain Archer and The Kurgen with no shirts on. When the comms officer who spoke several languages, was being ignored by the crew and she was having delusions at certain times.
The Mark of Giddeon is one of the few TOS I really enjoy. Also A Taste of Armageddon, where they were having war games, but no one was dying or any structural damage, just "laser tag", but then they sent the people in that area that was virtually destroyed to die in a room or machine to keep score. And never did understand the episode where Spock steals the Enterprise, and does not get in trouble for it, as he tries to get the old captain Pike back to the planet where they can make people see illusions.
Probably the concentration of weird episodes is around the start and end of the shows. The start because the writers are still figuring out what works, and the end because as the shows goes on, the writers start to run out of ideas and then *really* weird episodes get into the mix.
@@JanelleWaz That sounds about right, and might be the natural progression. Now that you mention it, I'm going to imagine the writers room on near the end shows as the Penny Arcade Jambalaya comic.
-"Archer, feeling guilty, almost loses the Enterprise when he tries to nurse a bunch of baby Insectoids." -"Oops! Half the senior staff becomes alien Neanderthals from a virus. Other aliens come to exterminate them."
I've always called those things in Operation: Annihilate!, 'the flying fake vomit aliens' 😜 ...though, technically, I guess, they were more 'hanging,' or 'swinging (from fishing line)', but, give me a break, I was like, 4, when I came up with that - interesting that I bought that they were flying, but still thought they looked like something sold in a novelty store
“The Game” is fun, if only to demonstrate how the writers should’ve handled Wesley! Instead of going to the Academy, they should’ve done a Johnny Rico or Sharpe, and be a “mustang” who gets promoted in the field through merit rather than bureaucracy. It also helps that it’s Wes who’s the only one of the Enterprise characters that learned anything from “The Hunted” and “The High Ground”. Apparently Starfleet Advanced Tactical Training is nowhere near the intensity of Angosian 3 Super Soldier Hell Week.
Three off of the top of my mind are from Enterprise S3. The first is "Doctor's Orders". In order to survive travelling through a physics defying anomaly that fries human brains, Phlox puts the entire crew into a coma for four days. Phlox thus begins to hallucinate EVERYTHING. Except for T'Pol, who is awake and helping him through the ordeal. OR WAS SHE????? The second is "Hatchery". The crew discovers a Xindi Insectoid ship wreck. Archer becomes obsessed over saving the eggs. Like super obsessed. His whole life becomes the eggs. Third is "Extinction". Remember the TNG episode "Identity Crisis" where Geordi is mutated into a weird creature? Or "Genesis", where everyone is mutated into weird creatures? Same thing! Archer, Hoshi, and Reed are mutated into primitive pre-historic aliens. LeVar Burton directed the episode; and he and Brannon Braga both admitted to being ashamed of this episode, and have no idea why they made it.
Doctor's Orders is a ripoff of Voyager's "One"...I know they repeated stories with all the TNG-on series, but Enterprise seemed to have an inordinately high percentage of ripoffs, IMHO (I haven't done a real analyzation, & crunched the numbers, but it sure feels that way)
The Mark of Gideon is one of my favorite episodes, but more for the concept of the overcrowdness to the point of complete exhuastion and wishing for death as a relief. [The episode was co-written by actor Stanley Adams who portrayed Cyrano Jones in the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles".] -wiki
Missed the weirdest bit of “Emergence”: the sentient Enterprise has a baby! Also “Amok Time” is the one where horny Spock starts looking at pics of a little girl on his computer.
4:18 what about the episode where Quark makes out with Keiko? That has got to rank up there. 😅 Also the one where the aliens from the worm hole or "something" is making figures appear from history and or stories like the Asian baseball player and Rumplestiltskin. 🤔 The one where Keiko is a pah-wrath I believe and sort of seduces Obrian until she doesn't, as she tries to sabotage the wormhole. And the episode where Sisko is obsessed with making a clock. Been a while since I have seen these... 😊
Not sure what state you live in, but some retro stores are having Buy 2 Used, Get 1 Free sales for a couple of days. Even if something is normally a bit too expensive for your liking, getting a free game helps to ease that pain. Just be sure you go with similar priced titles as much as possible, because they will find a way to give you the most cheapest games for the free portion of the deal 😅
"Justice" was a weird episode, but it was also a subtle clue as to why Worf is who he is. He can't... get any. Because Human women are too fragile... Ahem. Also, as always, thank you for sticking to Real Star Trek and ignoring The Trek That Shall Not Be Named.
Of course, we all know what happens to women who get involved with Worf... RIP, K'Ehleyr and Jadzia. Suffice to say, I'm not a big fan of what's come out in Trek as of late. I just stick to the Star Trek I do enjoy.
@@chainsawsubtlety9828 I didn't like it at first, because by the time I saw it, I'd heard that everyone hated it, but the more I watched it, and as I watched it as I've gotten older, I like it more & more.
...I also enjoyed Unexpected. It was the first episode of Enterprise I actually liked, and it gave me hope that maybe I would come around to liking this series...unfortunately, it was a long dry spell until I found the only other episode(s) I really, really liked (In a Mirror, Darkly)
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 At the time, I didn't much care for Enterprise. It wasn't horrible, but it also wasn't particularly good. Outside of the broad strokes, I don't remember most of it. Funny, considering that compared to the modern "Trek That Shall Not Be Named", Enterprise is a masterpiece. But, only in comparison.
Nudes (that was after the spell correction and I am leaving it 😅) (Mudd's) Women always annoyed me. I get that confidence can be sexy and beauty is only skin deep and in the eye of the beholder. But the fact that the women had to take the medication to "look" physically beautiful. And then when they were deprived of it, they turned "ugly". Then when they learned to live without it, they were just as beautiful or at least beautiful again. That annoyed me. I guess the show was talking about addiction and what makes a woman (of the 60's) alluring to a man, and helpfulness at home, etc. But the transformation was instant and just... I love the episode, just not the concept or execution. But it also shows how men can turn on their partners (or women on theirs, for that matter) and after they lose their looks (child birth, old age, etc.) are ignored, cheated on or even discarded. Here the togetherness was very brief, so it was less of an impact, but could have represented what happens after many years. But on a side note, being tricked (for the men) also wasn't nice. There is makeup and then there is total transformation 😅 On a side note, Mudd is my favorite reoccurring side character 🤣
@@JanelleWaz at which part? I know they had to "age" them, for lack of a better term, with makeup on the show, when the characters were originally deprived of the medicine. The actresses were naturally beautiful, with make up and lighting/camera tricks only adding to it to show a difference. I prefer the natural look anyway. I am not fond of makeup (unless lightly to accentuate), fake hair or fake nails, myself.
@@tilasole3252 They're still not that bad off when they're "ugly" and the medicine starts to wear off. Like... They can get a good cleanser, exfoliator, moisturizer, maybe a light bit of concealer. They don't need to take the beauty pill.
@@JanelleWaz I guess I am going to have to take another look at the transformations then. A lot of women don't need all that extra junk. As I said, the actresses had to be "made ugly" to start with for the de-transformation scene

Super fun video. The Royale was a weird one too. Fun to try to explain to people.
Freaking Piglet! I knew I recognized that dudes voice; but I could never put my finger on it.
You'll never look at Piglet the same way again.
I remember his as Mr. Peterson, one of the regular patients on The Bob Newhart Show.
Wow Two Sentence Horror Stories took an odd turn this season... 😂
Great video Janelle thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, Gog!
Oh, I love X seconds or less videos. Saw one once that was "Describing every Batman movie in 30 seconds or less" As always, top notch entertainment.

Way ahead of you! Spock's Brain is featured in this episode.
This is amazing! Thanks again Waz!

🎶I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay! I sleep at night and I work all day!🎶
Now I'm watching that video, not Monty Python but Mad Dog Murdoch!
I didn't even realize that was a Monty Python skit initially! I just knew of Murdock's version. 😅
Omg, I didn't realize Duncan Regehr played both Ronin and Shakaar 😅
And both characters have a thing for redheads. 😆
As a non Trek individual. Some of these later episodes seem like that "The Writer's Barely-Disguised Fetish" Police Squad joke.

Honestly I had no idea piglet was in star trek until this video.
What's even crazier was it was a pretty creepy episode too.
-"Archer, feeling guilty, almost loses the Enterprise when he tries to nurse a bunch of baby Insectoids."
-"Oops! Half the senior staff becomes alien Neanderthals from a virus. Other aliens come to exterminate them."
Ooof! I try to forget Extinction. Season 3 is a lot of hit or miss episodes.
Another great vid

they are flying fake vomit aliens & I will die on this hill :)
Lower Decks: the entire series. But it's fun, too.
Cost of Living is definitely...a choice. lol
