Pulaski was a p. good bones. But really, she can't be as good as the original bones so why try so hard? They tried to rekindle the Bones Spock dynamic with her and Data, but she just came off as constantly berating an autistic child. Also, the guy who is watching DS9 the first time, sadly Klingon Chef only has like one more really tiny bit part. However, in a few seasons you will meet the most klingoniest klingon who ever klingoned, and it will be amazing.

I'm not sure if it was the same episode, but my favorite part of Geordi can't get laid stuff was when he was being awkward in 10 forward, and Worf was there, and Worf is like "You have to let her see the fire in your eyes!" And Geordi gives him this brief "Did you really say that you loving rear end in a top hat?" look, before shaking it off. The burn is never even really acknowledged.

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

I like Erzi the best because of that time Garak get pissed off and ripped her a new rear end in a top hat for each of her past lives.

There were a lot of things that hurt the borg, but the one thing that did the most damage I think was introducing the queen so that Data and Not only was the queen not that great of an idea, but she was so unborg like. She was petty and emotional and selfish, and just a generic evil villain.

Fetus Tree posted:the planets became politically inconvenient AFTER they already made their homes there, btw No they weren't. They were specifically warned not to settle on the planets they did because they were in dispute, but they settled anyways. (The native american TNG episode) The maquis could have been an interesting, morally ambiguous idea in any other setting, but in post scarcity star trek, they're just selfish assholes throwing a fit because the federation won't start an war on behalf of their rocks and poo poo. Their fondness for their planet and avoiding the inconvenience of having an all expenses paid move to literally any other planet in the federation was not worth the lives of however many millions die in an interstellar war. In conclusion, gently caress the maquis. The federation should have put those entitled twats in a holodeck simulation to move them to another planet without their knowing, like Worf's brother did.

That first (or second?) season episode where she has to get that stubborn old man to move and she has an existential crisis as she realizes, holy poo poo, I'm not longer fighting the man, I am the man is one of the underrated episodes imo. And of course Duets, which everyone rightfully loves.

Kieko spent the first few seasons on the station. Then she was camping and living on cliffsides scraping up moss or some poo poo for a season or two. The last several seasons they were at war so Obrien couldn't just gently caress off away from his post for several days at a time considering they were on the front lines. Besides, anytime spent away from the station means not holodecking and playing darts with a man he To be fair, the distance from Bajor thing was really bullshit. A starship can clear a star system in minutes on impulse, but Bajoran shuttle service? Three hours.

Star Trek technology has always been a mindfuck, especially how they ignore kinetic energy like that gun. Something the size of a photon torpedo slamming into a planet at warp speed could potentially crack it. Just using them at full impulse (which is .7 C) would absolutely devastate anything. With power like that, even if they didn't want to destroy a planet, it could just as easily punch holes clean through an enemy ship.

I thought he broke that case so that past-lady could smugly say "You broke your little ships", driving home the Moby Dick reference. I've always wondered how anyone is able to keep their quarters so neat, since people are being thrown around the bridge every other episode. No wonder Alexander turned out such a mess and wanted to leave. Every time there was a red alert, it was basically like "The ship is probably going to shake a lot soon, go to the quarters filled with sharp jagged things on every wall. You can't leave until it's over."

I've never understood the interest in opening sequences, either for or against. Like people constantly rag on the Enterprise one, and I'm like, I saw it once, and then skipped it every other time while watching on netflix, I honestly forgot it even had lyrics for awhile. Do people who care about this poo poo actually watch the opening sequence every single episode?

Tighclops posted:Yeah it is, the Enterprise is a character and she got the reintroduction she rightly deserved. TMP took it's pacing a bit far in places and yeah, it's something you gotta be in the mood for (It's a shame the Director's Cut was only ever rendered in SD, it tightens things up) but I prefer it and it's flaws to the modern style of having no pacing at all and the story being a lame excuse to get to the next CGI setpiece. The uniforms themselves were okay, but that god drat flap always drove me crazy. What kind of fuckarded moron came up with that poo poo. There's nothing actually casual or dressed down about undoing that stupid flap, it's just as tight and normal as before, except not you have an extra white piece of cloth flapping around on your chest, presumably so that when the chief engineer carries a corpse the length of the ship from engineering to the bridge for dramatic purposes, you can get blood on it I guess?

Blistex posted:I think it was the ST:VI Blue Ray that had Nicholas Meyer saying he had heard about the story, and like you said, jumped at the chance to do it. He also said that when he got ST:II he wanted to turn it into "British Navy in Space", and tried to throw in as much Navy stuff as he could, (uniform changes, "running out the guns", boarding whistles, burial at sea, etc.). He also said that he saw Kirk as Horatio Hornblower, and used every bit of creative control he had to make it STII: Master and Commander. This explains why all Starfleet issue shuttles can access and play Gilbert and Sullivan with only three button presses.

Yaos posted:By this point Data has been in Starfleet for 20 years and is 3rd in command of the Enterprise. He's only just now learning about terrorism? Wouldn't there be a class in Starfleet Academy on it? Shouldn't he be able to use his android brain to read, watch, and listen to all sources on the subject? At this point, Google Search is better than Data. Wikipedia alone has numerous articles on terrorism and thousands of references. Data is amusing but a lot of his poo poo, especially in the earlier seasons will hurt your brain if you think about it for even a second. He's been activated and running for over 20 years by the start of the show, having spent most of that time in Starfleet surrounded by people constantly, yet he consistently hears expressions and metaphors for literally the first time ever, and is stopped dead in his tracks by them. What if the Romulans show up one day during Delta Shift and the Romulan commander turns a phrase during tense negotiations?

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.

I never understood why goons insist that one life in front of you is more important than two lives that aren't right in front of you? I always thought the point was there was no good choice, and no matter what you decide, someone ceases to exist.

Dr. Gene Dango MD posted:My favorite episode so far is when they all had to dress up like Klingons. Why did they bring Odo and O Brien along? My second favorite is when Beshir and that redemptive prick cardassian and Worf all got captured and the cardassian went crazy in the walls. The best part of that was Pirate Dukat. I would have loved an series about renegade Dukat and Dumar murdering the poo poo out of unsuspecting klingons in their stolen bird of prey, no prime directive or federation bullshit to slow them down at all. Kira can come along just so she can hate Dukat on screen some more.
