Cake Smashing Boob posted:How does this even work? I'm not a linguist (obviously), but doesn't metaphor rely on there being some underlying basic... language stuff? That episode is a cautionary tail about how a society can devolve its entirely language into dumb memes if they're not careful. Basically the plot is that the Enterprise meets a planet where the people only communicate to each other in their version of Simpsons / Family Guy references.

Voyager was "self-aware" in the sense that the actors knew the writing was bad so they stopped giving a poo poo.

Huge Lady Pleaser posted:Watching the voyager episode where they create the cardassian holo doctor and the all like "thaT will be impossible!" And Harry Kim is all like "I can do it! Computer: create hologram with the knowledge and personality of this guy" and it's done. Star Trek's computers are idiot gods capable of literally anything. All it would take would be for someone to say "Computer! Create a being capable of destroying the universe!" and it would all be over. And yet they're still impressed by Data for some reason.

Hector Beerlioz posted:Didn't the hologram doctor turned out to be cardassian Mengela and then they were going to let somebody die because it would have been unethical to use the info? What a dumb episode. TNG and Voyager had the dumbest pseudo-"moral dilemma" episodes. Janeway and Picard are always all "Hmmmm, do we let this planet full of billions of sapient beings get obliterated, or do we break some arbitrary starfleet regulation? Gosh this is quite the pickle of a moral quandary for sure."

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.

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.

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!"

counterfeitsaint posted:In voyager they had to specify that the holodecks had their own dedicated power source, so they could keep them running all the time while still being on the far side of the galaxy with limited resources and rationing. You know, for both episodes where limited resources actually mattered. Basically the only reason the BSG reboot exists is that Ronald D Moore was frustrated about Voyager squandering an interesting premise.

The Best of Both Worlds is an over-rated episode that doesn't stand the test of time and the Borg were a lame villain that got progressively lamer every time they appeared and the only reason anyone liked them originally was that the production team put so much more work into the costumes than usual that it blew people's mind that Star Trek was actually doing something that looked cool.

The Maquis were terrible idiots. We live in a post-scarcity utopia with faster-than-light travel, what shall we do? I know, let's go be dirt-farmer colonists on the most politically inconvenient planets we can find! It's not like there's a whole galaxy out there.
