Skipping the non-Andrea Mitchell Quark's Mom episode is ok but skipping the Lumba episode is not. Skipping all the Ferengi episodes is perverse as you are making a buffet of Sisko's Dad, Irritable Worf, The 4 Savants and Esri episodes in the later seasons.

The curved Saurian Brandy bottles from TOS were from a special edition of bottom shelf George Dickle whiskey.

Does anyone have the old memo Roddenberry wrote about Ferengi back when he was ruining the first season of TNG? Someone posted it in the terrible TV IV thread years ago. He talks about how Ferengi have hooked penises that human women find "irresistible" or something. For some reason the producers decided to leave that out of the show.

So whoever uses it has to remain standing "arcade style".

I'd love to have been on the art/design team who thought that poo poo up. It's the future, so everything has to be different. For example, people have been using pens for 5000 years, but of course, we can't have them using pens in the future like some sort of loser! And we certainly can't have people using keyboards. So everyone just talks to the computer, or pushes buttons, as if this could replace the functionality of a keyboard. And everyone uses these little pad computers which contain text files, but no one ever writes anything in them because they can't figure out a sci fi way of writing which makes any sense at all.

Finished voyager. I thought the ending episode was pretty good, although rushed feeling. The relationship between Chakotay and Seven was hard to swallow. It seemed like Chakotay simply wanted to inject Seven with some human nanoprobes of his own. Not that I can blame the guy. The solution to them getting home seemed like such a cop-out too. The fight with the Borg Queen was neat but I kind of think her character sort of undermines the concept of the Borg. They have one collective consciousness but it's controlled by a single being? Lame. Anyways, I decided to start TNG again. I don't think Season 1 is that bad. People like to make fun of Code of Honor but racism aside I thought it made an interesting rewatch. I think a lot of you guys can't see past the fact that it's a planet of black people. The leader of the planet, Lutan, comes from a planet which follows an honor code. The Federation wants a lifesaving vaccine, but if Lutan were to simply give it to them, he would lose honor amongst his people. So Lutan conceives a plan of his own which would give both sides what they want without him showing weakness. That is why he kidnaps Tasha Yar - so that the crew of the Enterprise may rescue her and as means of retribution claim the vaccine. It would be a more honorable solution; until Lutan decided he wanted Yar for his own. I am glad they got rid of Denise Crosby though after a short time - she is absolutely terrible in almost every scene with extended dialogue. I cringed whenever she gave her little speech about being in the penalty box in Hide and Q.

Nope, just some generic lab equipment that shows up over and over. IIRC it might have first appeared in Wrath of KhanOrange Sunshine posted:It's the future, so everything has to be different. To be fair, in TOS and Jake on DS9 were shown using styluses (styli?) on their PADDs all the time. Speaking of music, there were also transparent neon green cymbals in Nemesis. I guess that's a popular colour in the future 1000 Brown M and Ms fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jul 1, 2015 |

I am really enjoying Deep Space Nine so far, though I am only at the end of Season 2. I thought the two-parter with the Maquis was quite good, although I loathe a villain who never loving kills a hero despite numerous opportunities to do so. Yeah, I mean, he has reasons and it does lead to a really tense space battle, but I feel the writers kept needing to backpedal out of corners to keep Sisko alive.

Alexander Siddig should have been fired after his tortured performance as the brainwave host of life-extending arch criminal Ray.... Oh.... Van... Ti...Kaaaa. How can you get cast for a series of Trek and be such a fish out of water in a simple brain-swap role when everyone that completes a seven season run will go through that at least thrice.

Good question. There was the episode (The Muse) where Jake wrote a lot of stories, but it turns out he wrote on paper (!) in that epsiode. There were also a bunch of episodes where he did his reporter thing, but I'm not enough of a sperg to trawl through them to find out what he did for sure.

I watched the TNG episode the other day where Data us offered his emotion chip (lol) and his evil jealous brother Lore steals it. Now, here's my problem. Jealousy is an emotion. Pride is an emotion. Hate is an emotion. Lore clearly exhibits all these things prior to having the chip installed. Why the gently caress did he need the chip? Also, Dr Soong or whatever his name is is like the most hosed up robot inventor ever. Firstly he creates a robot with a dick that works for no apparent reason. Secondly though that robot is totally indenticle to the evil robot he had to disassemble. This would have been a lot different if he had just given data like blonde hair or something.

If by 'write' you mean 'handwrite' then I don't think that's such a suprising thing. Even today handwriting is far less common than it was in the past with the prevalence of computers/phones/tablets, so 300 years down the line I can see it dying out completely outside of hobbyists, kind of like calligraphy today.
