Morty is pretty spot on. But Rick isn't guttural enough. But it wasn't the problem for me.The new voice actors are good though. I stopped noticing they weren't Justin Roiland pretty quick.
Yeah, season six was wildly inconsistent. The Beth falls in love with herself episode is fucking fantastic, while the meta episode is probably the shittiest one of the entire series.And I thought the first third of last season was strong. Then it went downhill fast.
I feel like the video is maybe a little too harsh, honestly. I liked Ashoka. Liked it, didn't love it. I say give it a couple of episodes and see how you feel.Woof. I liked Rebels well enough and was waiting for the series to finish to watch it (especially since RIP Ray Stevenson) but that's not selling me a good time.
I feel like everything from episode 4 is pretty strong, and it suffers from a pretty weak first 3 episodes. But Ray Stevenson as Baylan is easily the most intriguing part of the show, and I have no fucking clue what they plan to do with that character going forward.I feel like the video is maybe a little too harsh, honestly.

If his character is who I think he is, recasting him will not be a problem.I feel like everything from episode 4 is pretty strong, and it suffers from a pretty weak first 3 episodes.

Yeah, unfortunately TNG is kinda hit-or-miss for the first couple seasons, and then sharply spikes upward once Gene Roddenberry isn't in the picture anymore.Star Trek TNG
Season 2 EP 1 The Child
...WOW, that was one of the worst second season premieres I have EVER seen.
Just want to say, I'm one of the rare few who never found Wesley annoying, but god DAMNIT the story about a teenager not wanting to leave school and bonding with a bartender shouldn't be more interesting than a super plague on the verge of breaking out and a demon baby pregnancy!
How do you go DOWN from the padding-fest that was Season 1's "The Neutral Zone" finale?
Yeah I kinda figured, for something called "The Next Generation" it really felt like it was trying to have the original series' vibe at times. And the less said about Tasha Yar's lack of developing the better (Denise practically BEGGED to be killed off).Yeah, unfortunately TNG is kinda hit-or-miss for the first couple seasons, and then sharply spikes upward once Gene Roddenberry isn't in the picture anymore.
Makes sense, explains why the bulk of the plot of the season 2 premiere was from an unused Phase 2 plot from what I've read.If I remember correctly, the first 4 episodes of season 2 were affected by a writer's strike.
The first two seasons of TNG are rough to rewatch, yes. But I find the later seasons hold up pretty well.TNG is the ST I grew up with, but it's hard to rewatch, don't think I've done a full rewatch in at least a decade. DS9 holds up much better imho, even though there's still quite a curve there.
I completely forgot about that, were you also the one who told me I could skip most of the first few seasons of DS9? I remember season 1 of DS9 being really MISS a lot. (show doesn't get good until Avery Brooks saves his head and grows a beard)I remember back when @Bones started watching TNG like 10 years ago, I provided him with an exact list of what episodes he could skip just because they were so what-would-come-to-be-called cringe. He watched them anyway, then agreed XD
Everyone hates on Wesley as a character (and he is annoying, don't get me wrong!), but Pulaski is the biggest fucking drag in my opinion. What an unlikable, shrill character.Heh, cats and curiosity!
Got past ep 3, "Elementary my dear Data" was fun but man oh MAN does Pulaski's condescension over Data's intelligence and creativity get grating!
It's like they were trying to replicate Spock and McCoy's relationship, but where that was ultimately a culture clash, this is more a person who keeps making another prove themself despite having done so on multiple occasions.
Wouldn't go so far as shrill, but I will say she didn't merely have "Just there" energy like Tasha Yar in the ep, but "Why is she HERE?" energy which is FAR worse. Could've just been a Laforge and Data ep, but we had to add NotMccoy to this story JUST because.Everyone hates on Wesley as a character (and he is annoying, don't get me wrong!), but Pulaski is the biggest fucking drag in my opinion.

Oh, just wait.How do you go DOWN from the padding-fest that was Season 1's "The Neutral Zone" finale?
Or, as we put it at the time, “…until he becomes Hawk.”(show doesn't get good until Avery Brooks saves his head and grows a beard)
No, I think that was someone else. I don't know DS9 well enough to give that kind of advice.were you also the one who told me I could skip most of the first few seasons of DS9?
Or "pulling a Riker," since TNG also vastly improved when someone grew facial hair.Or, as we put it at the time, “…until he becomes Hawk.]

The key to this trope is seeing a dramatic "before and after" difference along the life of a series. The element can sometimes be attributed to a single, outstanding episode that defines the show. Other times it is just a general improvement, like the Trope Namer Star Trek: The Next Generation. Fans of the series noticed a sharp increase in the quality and consistency of stories and the show really starting to gain its own identity, and this coincided with Commander Riker, Jonathan Frakes, growing a beard — even though it still took a little more time before it really took off.note The term has spread into internet vernacular to the point that Frakes himself has even brought it up. History repeated itself a few years later when fans noted a marked improvement in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine after lead actor Avery Brooks grew a beard (and shaved his head, to boot).
