Sunday comics. 😄

Great watch everyone! 🖖🏻 #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight #StarTrekTNG #StarTrek

"The Host" introduces the Trill to the #StarTrek universe, leading to one of the most consequential species in the franchise itself. Thanks as always to @madonnaots.com for hosting #TNGSunNight.

Crusher's statement about why she can't continue her relationship with Odan is an interesting one, even viewing it in 2025. #TNGSunNight

"Show *him* in." Yeah, about that. #TNGSunNight

According to Memory Alpha, Picard's question was the only time someone on the Bridge asked the computer what time it was. #TNGSunNight

That little gesture by Odan/Riker to Crusher's hair as he leaves the Ready Room was a nice moment of characterization. #TNGSunNight

If you're on a starship, would you like to see pictures of space around you, even in your quarters? Asking for a friend. #TNGSunNight

Certain aspects of Trill physiology introduced in this episode, such as the forehead piece and the inability to be transported, were later retconned for Jadzia Dax in DS9. #TNGSunNight

Now this relationship status is justified. #TNGSunNight

Gates McFadden's son, James McFadden Talbot, became Assistant Concertmaster of the Louisville Orchestra in 2023. #TNGSunNight

In the world of #StarTrek, this kind of situation doesn't end up in HR. #TNGSunNight

Another angled view of the main viewer, conveying that the image isn't flat but rather three-dimensional. #TNGSunNight

"Dr. Beverly." #TNGSunNight

The first time we see a Trill symbiont. #TNGSunNight

The truth is revealed about Odan. #TNGSunNight

And now the table in the spa scene. #TNGSunNight

Pelians would later show up in the background of TNG and DS9 following this episode. #TNGSunNight

It's a good thing there are two ways to the Observation Lounge. #TNGSunNight

We've come a long way from "Wink of an Eye" in terms of characters who were obviously post-coitus in a scene. #TNGSunNight

What's going on with the Ambassador? #TNGSunNight

Crusher has a secret boo! #TNGSunNight

A mention of Wesley at the Academy! #TNGSunNight

Tonight! #TNGSunNight #TOSSatNight #StarTrekTNG #StarTrek

Happy Sunday, friends. Be kind, stay safe, keep washing your hands, continue looking after yourselves, and never forget.

"The Menagerie" was a good way to work "The Cage" into the continuity of the series, especially since it wouldn't be seen until that pilot wouln't be seen until the 1980s. Thanks as always the @tossatnight.bsky.social for hosting! #TOSSatNight

For the only two-parter in TOS, the stakes are both incredibly high and personal at the episode's end. #TOSSatNight

The images are coming from Talos IV. Who reset the VPN? #TOSSatNight

Our illusion laughs at your puny phase pistols! #TOSSatNight
