I can’t even. Why do you even bother watching it?

This show’s interest in psychology is entirely consistent with TNG. Entire episodes were devoted to Data’s dream state (cellular peptide cake, anyone? It has sugar frosting), Riker’s brainwashing (or was it a play he was rehearsing for in 10-Forward?) and Picard’s will-he-won’t-he-break-under-torture (THERE ARE FIVE LIGHTS). The show’s entire musical score is built out from an episode that dealt with a computer-induced dream state.

Guys, much as I love chewing over sci fi with you all, I am deeply thankful you’re not allowed anywhere near the writers room. With the greatest of respect to you, if you had written this show it would have looked like the repetitive, one-trick fanwank that litters YouTube rather than a credible continuation of the franchise.
