This one makes sense because it wouldn't leave much room for TNG to do it's own thing, since it would be weird for Enterprise to ditch Space War III for weeks to go look at supernovas or whatever.

It's not that baffling to me that a local low-cost ferry is going to be a bit pokier than a high-performance starship that has to be able to interdict marauding Romulans or whatever. Entropic posted:No technology or ability mentioned in a given Star Trek episode ever has any applications outside of that episode. That's just how it works. Oh yeah, we figured out how to use transporters for immortality once, and there was that time we made a gun with a built-in mini-transporter and x-ray scope that can shoot through walls. Nah, we never wrote any of that down, we just kinda forgot about it. This isn't quite correct. Wesley's nanites from Evolution are mentioned as a possible anti-Borg weapon in Best of Both Worlds. The Which, in a way, makes it that much more frustrating when the writers do forget (by accident or on purpose) that a previously-introduced ability or trick would perfectly solve a given dilemma. opus111 posted:therse a yospos thread where they all pile on to see who can be the biggest ds9 hater.

Don't force yourself to watch Voyager. Rewatch DS9 if you have to watch Trek, or just watch something good. The only excuse someone has for watching Voyager these days is because they were tricked into it.

I'd like to second this. When I lived on the 20th floor in Boston, the elevator took all of 3-4 seconds to get me up there assuming no stops. I now live on the 3rd floor of a condo in Stamford, CT and it takes 15 seconds... and god drat if you have to wait for it. That can go on for minutes. I take the stairs 90% of the time. oldpainless posted:I've tricked many people into watching Voyager by explaining the character in a skin-tight cat suit with big titties gets the most screen time. She's also a great character. It's funny, the artificial lifeforms (Seven being part-machine, Doctor being light beams) are the most interesting characters in Voyager. On TNG, Data was pretty interesting, but the only other part-machine was Geordie. And he wasn't interesting at all. Remember that episode that had him hallucinating his mom? I didn't give 2 shits about any of that. gently caress you, Geordie. You're boring, you're lame, and you're awkward. Loved you on Reading Rainbow though

ANOTHER missed opportunity. Imagine if she LEGIT was crazy and hid it from everyone? Like 5 seasons (there were 5 right?) of a scene every few episodes with her in her ready room talking to herself in the mirror or just spazzing the gently caress out, pulling herself together, then going out and ordering Paris to a new set of coordinates. They're lost in the Delta quadrant and their captain is a certified loony tune.

She is, but thankfully in Star Trek everything can be instantly cured unless it's a space virus then it takes a few more minutes. Somebody more neckbeardy than me needs to do a Prime Directive violation count in TNG. In the first episode everybody was living in mud huts until they caught the magic alien. Another episode they decided they were bored and went to a planet for shore leave where everybody thought their god was literally in orbit around the planet because they didn't have space flight. Don't forget about the two parter where Picard, and elderly ship captain, was suddenly the perfect person to send on a covert ops mission in Cardassian space so they dressed him up like a cartoon burglar. That wasn't a Prime Directive violation, it was stupid. Yaos fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Jun 11, 2015 |

I would love a serialized Netflix/Amazon series set in the prime universe around the turn of the 25th century exploring the consequences of a universe with an exploded Romulan sun. Maybe have a newly re-militarized Cardassia allied with the new Romulan survivor homeworld as a threat to the Feds. Also, hyper-warp drive because we reversed the tachyons in the phase converter. And the ship has to be Enterprise.

Voyager is only terrible if you're expecting more out of your Star Trek than a dumb spaceships show, which has always struck me as a self-induced problem.

The Tasha Yar Romulan runs the Romulan secret police and allies with the Iconians while trying to destabilize the other big players and turn them against each other. The rest of the Romulan refugees end up settling on New Romulus where apparently some artifacts from the original Romulus founders were discovered.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Thinking You Need Sex Reassignment. I wonder if transpeople in the 23rd century ever found out about that device from the TOS episode Turnabout Intruder. Basically it's a bodyswap machine and in the episode some vengeful woman used it to swap her mind into Captain Kirk's body and vice-versa. Cue the wacky hijinks of Shatner trying to look like he's trying not to look all ladylike. So imagine that device and a personal ads service. "Woman in a man's body seeks bio-woman for permanent body swap. Full medical history a must. No fatties." Hell, it could even go beyond the trans market. "Muscular athletic body available for 12-hour rental. See how it feels to be in shape! Security deposit required." "Be a Denebian slime devil for a day! Gift certificates available." Imagine a married couple swapping bodies with each other for a while as part of relationship counseling, or just to see what sex is like from the other side. Or a parent swapping with a terminally-ill child so that the kid will be able to live on in their old body. Or a criminal syndicate that swaps around the bodies and identities of its agents and assassins, to foil investigations and evade detection. Or... Or they could just kind of forget about the device and never mention it again after that episode.
