For fags that have not read the previous thread I basically rewatch TNG while making dumping reaction pics and webms. The plan was to keep it all in one thread but it was getting very cluttered so going to make a thread for each so fags know what content is which. As always if you have a request for a scene to be screencapped/webm'd let me know and I will keep an eye out for it, but please only requests for Season 2 of TNG. If you have a Season 1 request use previous thread.
Rating Scale
My intention was in the last thread to just dump content and shitpost but it grew into a more of a mini-review of each episode. My scoring system might seem a little harsh at first but there is a reason for that; mainly I do not believe in throwing out high grades unless it is truly deserving and if you do it sort of cheapens scoring. To sum up in an example; while most fags would probably give an okay episode a 6 or 7 out of 10 I would tend to give it a 4.
Ratings Explained:
>0-1
Truly awful and do yourself a favor and avoid watching an episode with this rating.
>2-3
Bad episodes that while you could suffer through there is no real need for you to put yourself through such torture.
>4-5
The pass mark. Decent episodes that are okay but you really won't be upset if you miss them.
>6-7
Good episodes that are worth a watch. There is not really any reason to avoid them.
>8+
Truly great episodes that you must watch.

Episode 17 - Samartian Snare
>1/10
I think I might be overly harsh here. This is going to be like Pen Pals in that there's a good episode here waiting to come out. Especially the fleshing out of Picard's youth. Sadly the rest of the episode was fucking retarded. You know how fags like to say Worf is terrible at his job? It couldn't be further from the truth. Worf is the only person who does his job. The whole situation with the Pakleds should never have been allowed to develop in the first place. Worf was right that they should have been careful but worse is when Troi appears saying they were up to no good, were about to make trouble in the neighbourhood, they should have transported Geordi's ass to Bel-Air. Not just ran with it till he got phaserblasted worse than O'Brien on his wedding night. The whole crew apart from Worf was incompetent. In fact where the hell was Troi in the first place?

#4 there is one of the best moments of the series, when shit gets real. Q's not fucking around anymore, prancing around in costumes or summoning napoleonic pig-men. He's just calmly straight-up telling it like it is.
And the cinematography in this episode was god-tier. Why the hell didn't they keep doing the moody lighting and smooth camera movements? Don't get me wrong, I love TNG, but so much of the rest of the series had such dull bright even lighting with way too many lock-off shots. They built those sets huge for ease of camera movement, but almost never really took advantage of that. I know it takes more rehearsal time and re-takes, but it's so worth it.

Episode 18 - Up the Long Ladder
>0/10
Reason this gets a big fat 0 is while it was a bad episode albeit with some fun bits, it completely shits the bed in the last 5 minutes of the show. Seriously the way they resolve the show is to get everyone to go along with polygamy virtually no questions asked. I think that needed more than a minute of discussion. What the hell were the writers smoking when they wrote this episode? Their solution doesn't exactly solve any problems, it just generates big fat new ones. They think everyone is going to beokay fucking their sisters and brothers?

Episode 19 - Manhunt
>1/10
Like the last episode it completely shits the bed in the last few minutes which kills the entire episode. Unlike the last episode this was one up to a point was actually good. Lwaxani and Picard dinner scene was great full of subtle little details that brought it together provided you were paying attention. Only reason this episode gets a 1 at all. The fish jihadists though seemed to have been thrown in for absolutely no reason and the fact the show doesn't explain anything about them or their motives is a huge fucking gaping hole too big to ignore. You can't have fucking Space Sushi Jihadis and then make them barely a footnote in a story as if they appeared in the episode as accidental filler. Just wrong.

It's the plotholes that sort of bring this episode down, like how the hell did the Feds not notice an old Klingon warship floating around several outposts and colonies even if it was running silent, chances are they would run into it. Even still episode probably wouldn't go higher than a 5 as it's a decent episode but isn't great. All down to really the script not being as strong as it could have been. It does at least introduce us to K'Ehleyr who is a much better Klingon than Worf despite being a halfbreed. In fact she even fights better than him.

They also don't really explain why the polygamy needs to happen, as the space Irish aren't in any danger of losing genetic diversity. All they had to do was teach the clones how to enjoy sex and they'd be fine. You didn't even have to do that really, as they could probably share technology whether they reproduce or not.

Sure. While there are bad endings in these cases the endings make the viewer basically go "What the actual fuck was the point of this episode?" and "Why the hell did we not focus on this instead?" They manage to completely unravel the entire episode In the fish Jihadist case it made me feel completely blueballed cause why the fuck were they trying to blow up a conference? What was their motive? Why did we just have an episode focused on Troi's mother going through menopause when they dropped this huge bombshell on us in virtually the last minute?

Episode 21 - Peak Performance
>6/10
Not a bad episode at all. It could have been a tiny bit stronger with some minor tweaks but nothing to sniff at. Zakdorn despite looking like a race of vicious old spinsters come across as overly annoying although do have some good scenes. There's some interesting character growth in this. Pol-aski suddenly likes Data a lot now which is growth we should have gotten to see more of during the series. Data also discovering he can lose even to a biological was both handled well and sort of badly with not enough time devoted to it. Ferengi weren't bad but not great either, just sort of there as if they picked some race at random though more and likely were desperate to have another stab at fixing the Ferengi. Ending was pretty good with Data deciding to change tactics to shitpost mode. Overall I would say this episode is a bit rushed in places and feels like there was a lot of content cut out. An extra 5 minutes would have brought this episode up a lot I feel.

Yeah, shame she got the boot, I liked her more than Crusher. And IIRC she didn't "suddenly like Data," she just adapted her thinking of him as a soulless calculating machine to reason that this is a kind of thin a soulless calculating machine would be good at.

This is probably going to be one of my quickest writeups of an episode. In short there is no reason for this episode to exist. It's a fucking clip show episode. So in short if you have seen previous episodes there is no reason to see this episode at all. All because Riker initiated bad touch with a tree. It's also a Season finale and a really bad way to end a Season.

But yeah, I think it really is the worst. There's nothing redeeming about it whatsoever. I'd rather marathon Spock's Brain, Threshold, Move Along Home, and A Night In Sickbay before I watch Shades of Gray. I don't think it can ever be topped.
