Entropic posted:Obviously there's been no culture of any significance for 400 years because Section 31 has been keeping everyone boring and subservient with drugs and mind control rays. there is culture but from alien planets. its funny when they list stuff and try to drop stuff in nonchalantly, like for example, music: PICARD: The greats! Mozart, Beethoven, Mahlar, Queezin'gord'kkkk.... also the entire musical output in all of Klingon history is like 3 operas. lol i love trek.

My favorite thing is how every alien culture is completely monolithic. Like even the Klingons talk about "Klingon Blood Wine" with no reference to any specific region or vineyard or anything. BRB gonna open a bottle of Human Grape Wine.

shadow puppet of a posted:Someone needs to re-marathon DS9 as Bloodwine has specific vintages. They mention vintages but never anything else about it. Like particular years are supposed to be good but there's only one kind of bloodwine. It's like if I said "Ahh yes, 2309 was a particularly good vintage of Earth Grape Wine!"

Its probably because their is just one vineyard serving all of Quonos. With all the space requirements for pain-stick trenches and the endless shrines to Kahless, there is precious little space for agriculture. Also, do you not think that the Klingon equivalent of the first upstart grower of the California Syrah grape would not face immediate invasion and land-salting by the Klingon equivalent of House of Burgundy?Entropic posted:It's like if I said "Ahh yes, 2309 was a particularly good vintage of Earth Grape Wine!" Weather control too. Terrior was the first casualty of the export of Risian weather control systems. Its Sunny and 72 degrees everywhere on the planet and we took all the mercury and strontium out of the soil. Earth Grape Wine is probably pretty accurate as you see the Voyager crew only replicating 20th century wines for good reason. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 05:08 on May 29, 2015 |

Martok is probably namedropping obscure gourmet artisanal bloodwine colonies but the universal translator just glosses over every stupid farming village with the word "Klingon" because it knows if you don't even speak the language then you don't care about that poo poo.

Really it seems like everyone is just stereotyping each other. I mean humans all get presented like they are the same thing too, they are "EXPLORERS". Sure humans can be explorers, but they also be traders, craftsmen, fighters, or anything else you can think of. But anytime anyone asks about humans it's always "WE'RE EXPLORERS, WE LIKE TO EXPLORE AND MEET PEOPLE". You'd think no human ever bothered to do anything else. It's just a bunch of lazy stereotyping by races who really don't give a gently caress what their neighbors care about and just want to apply easy labels.

The DNA didn't have memories. The two Klingon grampa scientists made test tube Kahless watch a bunch of KVDs while he was incubating.

Kahless' memories of being Kahless were KVD extras and a small making-of featurette. "We found a way to imprint specific information in your neuro-synaptic patterns, we gave you memories, and not just any memories but we gave you the experiences as written in the sacred texts" Dwarf Kahless, upon hearing this suddenly understood why he first woke up surrounded by a bunch of BloodRedBox disc cases. You've brought dishonor to the House of Shadow. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 16:26 on May 29, 2015 |

Is housing on Earth in TNGland just giant featureless blocks with each apartment being a holodeck? Because that sounds like a good way to keep one's life unencumbered with crap to take with you/put into storage while making redecorating the most relaxing thing in the world. "House, I want a 60s dayglo pop art nightmare today, and a pre-revolutionary France palatial decor tomorrow, TIA."

Holodecks are supposed to be the latest technology in TNGland and require a massive power source (like a warp drive) to operate.
