You need a batshit insane or exceedingly mid episode every now and again to make you really appreciate the good ones.

I think people need to understand is everything on screen is cannon but at the same time cannon can be ignored for the sake of story and theme.

Yes, Beverly fucked a ghost.

What are you gonna do, call the canon police? That actually sounds scary, I apologize.

I mean, from TOS, the Greek Gods are canonically real, and just fucked off to other planets at some point in human history.

Like, the ship and crew are literally held hostage by Apollo... and it just actually is the Apollo.

Also, they... kill him. They kill Apollo, or... banish him to the shadow realm, or something.

... I feel like I need a drink, just describing this.

Threshold was bitchen, man. And bonkers. Bitchen and bonkers.

The ghost was just an energy sucking alien disguising itself as a dead human, IIRC.

The Greek gods in TOS were just aliens the way the Norse ones are aliens in the Marvel universe.

Threshold is the odd one out here because even with the explination of the craziest shit, Janeway and Paris still had a litter of alien fish things together.

Unironically, Threshold is one of my favourite Star Trek episodes of all time. It's just interesting to watch Paris going through all the body horror changes.

Same for Discovery and Lower Decks! And the Star Wars sequel trilogy!
