Going back to the designer baby thing there was an episode in voyager where B'Elanna Torres wanted to delete sequences of her baby's DNA so that she wouldnt be a clygon. That is farfetched because you cant just go around randomly deleting chunkds of DNA! you have no idea what the consequences would be!

It's Klingon! *beats Sarah with a D-7 class battlecruiser*

I would imagine that gene sequences, of Torres (human side) or paris, would be inserted. I mean come on, this is meant to be late 24th century medical technology.


Oh and yeah, about the klingons, even my phone t9 spells it. Time to watch some more star trek for you

Surey the most far fetched VOY episode must be Distant Origin where these guys managed space travel

Yeah cause those pesky apes look so smart, when scratching their arses

Any episode of TNG that shows Riker doing some work, as opposed to the middle-management, sleep-in-a-hammock, officer he really is. We all know he would take the nightshift, and duck off for three-hour sessions in the holodeck running programs like '53 yr old drunken divorcee in deserted jazzclub Beta 1' and other 'adult' programs. God help the Enterprise cleaning staff (what colour uniform would they wear?)

And on topic, Damark and Jilad was a bit ludicrous, with only Picard able to figure out that they speak 'through imagery, through met-a-phor'. Or that episode with the oirish from piebald 9 stinking up the cargo bay. Or the existence of Chakotay. Q is quite annoying too, I always saw him as a crude plot device, that made a lot of episodes far fetched. That episode where everyone started reverting into their ancestral species was a bit far fetched too.

Having said all that, I love all those episodes! Especially original series and TNG!

RTE showed TNG all the way up to season 7, if I recall correctly. I remember they showed the episode where Worf visits the Klingon prison colony, governed by Romulans, sometime in May 1994. It was the one in which Riker visits a bar. Yes they definately showed most or all of the seasons. They also aired DS9 season 1 I think but didn't go any further than that owing to the fact that TNG had the most mass appeal.

Oh I forgot about that episode of Voyager when they set up the Holodeck to play a program of a little Irish village cica 1500. with the crappy leprechaun accents and Janeway being refered to as Kate! the stereotype of us was enough to make anyone cringe!!!

There was an 'Irish' episode of TNG, where a group of medieval Irish were supposed to have left earth ever before any other humans had (which would be great, but they had no ships or technology.

Or there was the voyager epoisode where dinasours were supposed to have left earth millions of years ago, and and got as far as the delta quadrant, but had no idea that they had come from earth.

Edit: beaten to it on both counts

That wasnt what happened. 1 ship left and 2 colonies were formed. 1 basically developed into an advanced society who's sun/planet was dying the others basically de-industrialised into pig farmers (Irish people) with a top notch fiery redhead for good measure, then the advanced people went to live with the retards,,,

Worst TNG ep ever...

nyarlothothep

I preferred it to the 2! fairhaven episodes.

Johnny Storm

I preferred it to every ep of Enterprise and most eps of Voyager

azezil

Any episode where a crew member falls in love after a day :rolleyes:

How about the ep where Riker gets the hots for a person from a race that has 3 sexes? (AFAICR )

I thought that Riker had the hots for a race that chemically repressed their gender expression.

Tucker got politically involved in the Co-Genetor (spelling) of the 3 gender species

Thats the most unrealistic one alright, what would SF have to say about the Irish and English joining in another act of union...

It has to be Threshold.

Breaking the Warp 10 barrier made Paris and Janeway evolve Pokemon style into a completely new creature and then the EMH got them to devolve again with anti-protons!
