TNG 6.20 #TheChase: a cat and mouse game searching for clues to a message left in the galactic DNA, that aimed to explain (kinda lamely) why all Star Trek aliens are humanoids. It‘s fun but not as profound as it hoped it would be and features the 1st female Cardassian Gul (yé). The best parts are Picard and his mentor discussing archeology. It features my favorite ST prop of all time, the Kurlan naiskos.

tournevis BOOK: My favorite literary chase is Hubert Aquin's Prochain épisode, a schizoid and quixotic pursuit of two eternal enemies, Francos and Anglos, with a Kafka hommage thrown in. Aquin wrote it while he was interned in a psychiatric hospital and drugged up to his gills. Best first line in any book ever: “Cuba coule en flammes au milieu du lac Léman pendant que je descends au fond des choses.“ (edited) 6y
Megabooks What‘s the English translation of the first line. The book sounds fascinating! 6y
tournevis @Megabooks "Cuba is sinking in flames in the middle of Lac Léman while I descend to the bottom of things." Here is a link to the best edition of the excellent translation : Next Episode https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0771094337/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Vaw1CbQ6JHN4V 6y
