TOS was pretty goofy— ya know, when it wasn’t pure sci-fi horror. it was also gruesome and scary as shit sometimes! SNW does a good job of capturing the goofy tone specific to TOS, although Trek has always had a pretty goofy streak. You can easily find it in every series!

From the various series in between:

  • "Ménage à Troi" (TNG S3E24)
  • "A Fistful of Datas" (TNG S6E8)
  • "The Magnificent Ferengi" (DS9 S6E10)
  • "Take Me out to the Holosuite" (DS9 S7E4)
  • "Bride Of Chaotica!" (VOY S5E12)
  • "Babel One" (ENT S4E12)

Several I've omitted throughout, not counting the low hanging fruit of LD, but clearly Trek as a whole is steeped in plenty of silly episodes.

not a bad list. Bride of Chaotica! was about as hammy as hammy gets, and it was hilarious, mostly because of how serious Kate Mulgrew’s Janeway was. I love that episode!

My defeat is but a temporary setback!
