Director LeVar Burton's camera work during this extended Janeway-in-a-bubblebath scene is full of echoes of Bergman's work with frame and balance aaaaaand Q just kissed the sole of her long toenail'd foot. No wonder this episode was never included in the collection I received.

loving Picard risk all of human civilization rather than kick someone's teeth in. Picard Maneuver: Use warp in close proximity to confuse the enemy. Sisko Maneuver: Rock all your space gods in the face and give them their walking papers.

What is the Janeway Maneuver? Repeatedly fall victim to the simplistic wiles of ragged bands of Kazon raiders? Make doe eyes at every tall male Caucasian six foot alien that could star in a Just for Men commercial? Immediate flight into any and every nearby nebula?

Fun fact: Odo can never sleep on a plane cause he's way more than 3.4 ounces. Also 'The Obsidian Order' might be the most badass name for anything ever. Also DS9 rules.

Powered Descent posted:The Doomsday Machine. I'm going to agree with this choice. Decker's descent into guilt-stricken insanity is some of the best acting in the series. Also it features my favorite type of macguffin, the arbitrarily advanced ancient alien artifact.

shadow puppet of a posted:I've always wanted a Obsidian Order vs Tal Shiar vs Section 31 vs V'Shar bottle episode that made full use of the available technology. 43 minutes of non stop octuple-crossing using clones, replicated faces, cloaked guns, illegal holograms and intel dead drops inside a hapless Bajoran. Nobody else would have a clue what was going on to the life or death spy war going on around them. Also throw in a Klingon Secret Spy Agency except they're really bad at being sneaky and just end up trying to solve all their problems by stabbing people with bat'leths.

I was going to include the KSSA but figured involving a spy agency where every effective spy action was met with cries of being a PetaQ that should be thrown out of the high council chambers for being an honorless disgrace would hobble the narrative flow. Maybe the Klingon spy would make a cameo appearance where he calls into the Klingon homeworld to inform them of the greater spy war only to be told to gently caress off and never call in again unless it was to make an apology for not being a warrior.

chaosbreather posted:Blaming Harry Harry is such a spectacular bumblefuck on every level that he makes Barclay look suave and Troi look competent. I have to imagine Janeway kept him around as an emergency food supply/human shield. It would explain why they kept dragging him along whenever there was a "senior officers" meeting despite his perpetual ensign status. I still can't believe I'm stuck watching his gormless mug for the next couple seasons. Apparently there's a three-clam carrying capacity on Voyager because as soon as they got 7 of 9 they dumped Kess harder than Harry Kim after every first date he's ever been on. But not before giving her 40's Hollywood starlet hair?

Harry's station was connected to a small box that simulated responses, and his command shifts were really on the holodeck.

TMP is a 10/10 blaze it flick though, because you can goggle at the lovely effects and soundtrack for what feels like hours and ignore how aimless the plot is, how flat the characters are, and how poorly the Shat fits into his new uniform which, however, is way better than that bright red shoulder strapped turtleneck poo poo the rest of the movies stuck them in. Even with the weird built in fanny pack.

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. skasion posted:TMP is a 10/10 blaze it flick though, because you can goggle at the lovely effects and soundtrack for what feels like hours and ignore how aimless the plot is, how flat the characters are, and how poorly the Shat fits into his new uniform which, however, is way better than that bright red shoulder strapped turtleneck poo poo the rest of the movies stuck them in.

The TMP uniforms were dumb as gently caress because it came off as a rich old white guy taking his yacht out for the weekend. The 2-6 uniforms owned because they looked like some legit naval military poo poo. That's my story thanks for listening.

All of the Shakespeare stuff was a huge inside joke about Shatner and Plummer. Back in the 50's Shatner was Christopher Plummer's understudy at Stratford. They were doing some Shakespearian play, and Plummer hurt himself (banging some chick) and couldn't go on stage, and that was one of Shatner's big breaks.

Oh drat, just started watching an episode of Voyager where some alien is giving the crew nightmares. Tuvok: shows up on the bridge naked Paris: loses control of his shuttle Janeway: the crew dies before she can get them home Harry Kim: gets kissed by a girl  I guess Starfleet only lets gay Asian men join the bridge crew?

I'm not even sure it was so much of an inside joke (except maybe only between Shatner and Plummer) as it was the director being a huge fan of old British actors and giggling with glee at being able to film one really chewing the scenery with his favorite Shakespeare quotes.

It's like they wanted to replicate that DS9 had going on with Obrien, except with Obrien he was a normal likable guy that would have terrible stuff happen to him sometimes. Harry exists solely to stand around and have horrible things happen to him, thus none of the audience gives a poo poo
