Luigi Thirty posted:the first episode where everyone is impressed by the holodeck (Picard 1:1) but in the animated series they already had a "recreation room" that was basically the same as a holodeck. Also in Voyager Janeway says she played in holodecks as a kid. Kinda like how ferengis are a weird new species that no one's ever seen in season one of TNG but like five years later they're everywhere and no-one ever talks about them being new

I remember in TNG they made a big deal about how you could walk around and stuff and not hit the walls like in earlier versions. And you could have a bunch of people in there all traveling different directions and somehow it just keeps generating new terrain or whatever and no one hits any walls. Anything Janeway says isn't to be trusted anyway.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:they actually got in a little trouble with the first sherlock holmes episode they did because they assumed it had become public domain by 1988 and it hadn't Although now that it is in the public domain the acd estate still threatens legal action against anyone making something with the character. Hollywood basically pays them off just to avoid the hassle.

I sometimes wonder how often the guy who played Harry Kim thanked his lucky stars that the writers didn't decide to make him a one-note "Asian" character: *The main computer fails because of this week's plot* "Captain, in my quarters I have an ancient device known to my people called an abacus. Perhaps I could use it to calculate the proper antimatter intermix ratio."

Ein cooler Typ posted:Humans haven't been part of the galactic community long enough There already is though, and they allude to it a couple times in TNG and DS9. Between WW3 wiping out most of human civilization and the Vulcans making first contact with North Americans, basically any other culture didn't have a chance.

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.

But they still kept him an ensign forever because he complained to the producers about something I forget what

Powered Descent posted:I sometimes wonder how often the guy who played Harry Kim thanked his lucky stars that the writers didn't decide to make him a one-note "Asian" character: According to Garrett Wang he spent the whole show assuming Kim was Korean (cause his name is Kim, what else would he be) but then he had a conversation with a writer during the last season and found out that he was always meant to be Chinese. It's almost like the writers didn't do even the minimum of research into anything ever.

Entropic posted:Basically the only reason the BSG reboot exists is that Ronald D Moore was frustrated about Voyager squandering an interesting premise. He's actually talked about that in depth: Ronald D. Moore posted:By the end of the pilot, you have the Maquis in those Starfleet uniforms, and— boom—we’ve begun the grand homogenization. Now they are any other ship. I don’t know what the difference is between Voyager and the Defiant or the Saratoga or the Enterprise or any other ship sitting around the Alpha Quadrant doing its Starfleet gig. That to me is appalling, because if anything, Voyager—coming home, over this journey, with that crew—by the time they got back to Earth, they should be their own subculture. They should be so different from the people who left, that Starfleet won’t even recognize them any more. What are the things that would truly come up on a ship lost like that? Wouldn’t they have to start not only bending Starfleet protocols, but throwing some of them right out the window? If you think about it in somewhat realistic terms: you’re on Voyager; you are on the other side of the galaxy; for all you know, it is really going to take another century to get home, and there is every chance that you are not going to make it, but maybe your children or grandchildren will. Are you really going let Captain Janeway [Kate Mulgrew] rule the ship for the next century. It seems like, in that kind of situation, the ship would eventually evolve its own sort of society. It would have to function in some way, other than just this military protocol that we repeat over and over again because it’s the only thing we know. You’ve got the Maquis onboard. From the get-go they are supposed to be the anti-Starfleet people. They behave exactly like the Starfleet people with the occasional nod towards B’Elanna [Roxann Dawson] making a snide remark about Starfleet protocols, or Chakotay [Robert Beltran] getting a little quasi-spiritual. But in essence, they are no different than any other ship in the fleet. The episodes that you watch week after week are so easily translatable to NEXT GEN that it’s almost a cookie-cutter kind of thing. It’s a waste of the premise. That’s not to say they don’t have any good episodes. There are some good episodes in the mix, and I have seen a couple. The show can work. But the ship wouldn’t look like that. Really the whole thing is well worth a read, he makes some fantastic points. Although you'll definitely want to copy-paste the text into something easier to read than this hideous webpage: http://www.lcarscom.net/rdm1000118.htm
