Star Trek Masks
Having recently re-watched all of TNG, I can tell you with confidence that there are some episodes that are not good. While it is often argued that the series had to “beard”, this can’t excuse an episode in Season 7: Masks, which is the basis for today’s comic. If you enjoyed this episode, I would like to hear from you, mostly so I can mock you.
Of course, having said that, some episodes which I initially found boring I later found myself referencing as often as possible. I don’t know why this happened, but all I can say is: Shaka, when the walls fell.
On a seperate note, have you ever noticed just how many shuttles Voyager loses? By my count, at the end of Season 2 they’ve already lost 5. To quote this random forum I found which argues about it:
In season five’s “Alice” when Tom wants that shuttle, Chakotay says, “Tom we already have a full complement of shuttles, including the Delta Flyer.” Yet they had already lost a great deal of shuttles, so where does the FULL complement come from?”
Where indeed. It’s a mystery, kind of like this image:
I really could look at Jean Luc all day.

You know, I don’t care. Make fun of me. I loved Masks. There are far worse episodes.
now that it’s here, the chance to mock someone, i find i just don’t want to.
tell me about the episodes which are worse.
sub rosa?
well, that one was awful, but at least you got to see crusher moan in a sexual way. there was no sexual moaning in masks.
I like masks too. It was weird, interesting, and a bit goofy. Not my favorite episode, but it’s enjoyable enough.
Temba, his arms wide!
Shaka, when the walls fell. Its like code for those of us that sat through even the worst episodes. Loved the comic by the way. Great timing.
Temba, his arms open.
The episode with the quote “shaka, when the walls fell” actually is alluded to previously in the series. At one point picard is talking to deeana about communication and she explains that its a wonder any civilization can communicate at all and uses a cup as an example that it could be called any number of things. I think picard applied this lesson when trying to communicate in this episode
“… and they make love at the drop of a hat.”
” *Any* hat”
riker FTW
(anyone else ever notice that Riker walks around like he’s looking to knock a wall down with his forehead?)
LOL. Yes! We should call that the Riker Maneuver
I’m surprised no one has commented on the fact that the guy is wearing the Korgano mask and the girl is wearing the Masaka mask, but he tells her to call them the incorrect names. Masaka was the sun queen, and Korgano was the moon… king? prince? They never really give him a position, but Korgano was male.
Well shit.
