So I'm rewatching all the Treks, at this point going back and forth pretty arbitrarily between Voyager and DS9

and I just got to the "Paris "evolves" into a lizard and drags Janeway off for "evolved" lizard sex" episode

I am not on enough drugs for this

Please pass the brain bleach?

that episode actually put me off voyager for a long, long time

because i was like... 10? and it was WEIRD AS HELL on a lot of levels.

Oh, "Threshold". Frequently voted the worst episode of all of the Star Trek series combined, and for very good reason. :-/

IT STARTED OUT PLAUSIBLE

...and then it went way beyond wtf territory.

(I knew of the extistence of this episode, I just forgot that it was that one. And once I started I was unable to stop. Because hey it couldn't be that bad OH WAIT IT GOT WORSE but surely it can't get AUGH NO WHAT ARE YOU EVEN.)

There are not enough drugs anywhere for that, idk what the showrunners were thinking.

[ysobel]

I'm pretty sure they weren't.

[vass]

Yeah, that episode was warped.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[ysobel]

Well, it certainly crossed a threshold ...

[cedara]

That was like a very bad fanfic.

Oh, I watched that recently as well. I hear the person who wrote that is at least aware of how bad it is...
