Star Trekking through the Hellscape of Writer's Apathy (AKA I still don't feel like writing a lot)

When it comes to Star Trek, I love the whole set up of the show where they embrace a new concept practically every episode, with a new adventure and story.  As zany as some episodes can get plot wise, the allusions to real world events or interesting tribulations in general are a lot of fun to engage in.  

The Darmok episode was a neat take on the differing grammar structures of an alien culture, and the difficulties of trying to communicate with a race that speaks in citation.  The episode Q, aside from introducing this omnipotent Q guy of unspecified origin, introduced an interesting (and incredibly pop-culture prolific) antagonist collection of species known as the Borg, that seek the universal assimilation of highly intelligent sapient life without know reason.  I personally love alien parasites, so the Borg were a fun topic of discussion. 

Again, I don't have a lot to say this time around, other than how much I enjoy Star Trek in execution, even if some episode are a tad too much for me.  Now to go subvert a trope.
