They were descended from Irish luddites who left earth on a slow rickety space ship because they wanted to get away from the evils of technology. Some sort of anti-vaxer type loonies who though everything was better in the good old days. Any culture can spout loonies.

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.

I mean what sort of crew that replicates and recycles their uniforms also wear 3 different eras of standard attire at the same time? Makes me so angry!

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?

Harry and Geordi are both pretty bad characters and the closest thing to the goon ideal. geordi; Good- is really good with technobabble. Doesn't cheat at poker. Has magic eyes. Data is his best friend. Grew a pretty nice beard for three eps. The Minds Eye. Geordi roll. Played by LeVar Burton Bad- is angry and bitter with women. Virgin. Is on same emotional level as a hothoused teen and a robot. Met his mother/father/sister once and they were dull. Holographic fuckdoll Dr Leah Brahms. Bit of a brown noser. Was a dick to Scotty even tho Scotty is a pain in the arse, the poor man is very old and everyone he's ever known is dead, give him a break LaForge. harry; Good- nice hair. Good at standing for long shifts. Probably not a virgin. Had a girlfriend, yes a real one. Bad- Tom Paris is his best friend. Horrendous banter. "I'm...I'm locked out!". Acts like Captain Janeway is his mother. Only dies in other realities. Also fell madly in love with a hologram. Favourite Son. Played by Garrett Wang. Moans about being an ensign/being far from home too much..

Yaos posted:The worst part of Star Trek is the rampant racism. When there's a strong person somebody just has to say, "You must have Klingon blood in you." Worf, you're so well spoken, you must have white blood in you, you loving racist. Whether it's fantasy or sci fi, nerds can't wait to create an entire world/galaxy of people who are openly racist as gently caress. Personally I blame Gygax. Did they ever find his phylactery?

I mean like half the crew was killed off in the first episode, you'd think some higher up positions would still be open even after the Maquis crew joining.

the TNG lot should have reprogrammed all of Reg's pervy hololadies so that their skin while looking silky and smooth, actually felt like sandpaper and leaves you raw and bloody. Also when he leans in to kiss his darling holoTroi, they've altered her holo breath so it smells like she's just been sick. Then when he touch her boob, she shits herself. To stop anyone else on the crew getting addicted to fantasies, they could appointed Data as "Holodeck Manager". He'd keep them PG13

Want to slaughter a bunch of people in glorious battle? Enjoy some slave girls? As long as the latinum flows, it's all good.

A truly enlightened techno utopia would fully support holodeck programs full of the sickest poo poo imaginable. If that's all it takes to keep Crewman Suder from snapping then it's a small price to pay imo.

shadow puppet of a posted:Nah, they were tolerant as poo poo. Worf belted an amorous Klingon woman in the mouth, on the bridge, in front of everyone and nobody batted an eyelash, they were just all "welp, its his Klingon blood so that's ok." If spacefaring society didn't have such shorthand excuses drilled into them, you'd not survive 10 minutes outside of your own solar system if you cant shrug off the repulsiveness of the Neelix/Kes relationship and get on with your day. All Tumblr bloggists should join Starfleet, for obvious reasons. ... Star Trek is not racist, because there are no people/aliens with 27-meter nacelles blasting their distorted comms frequencies at full volume with the shuttle bay doors open while the Alpha Quadrant is trying to sleep. It is the Glorious Space Future and we're all on the same page and (mostly) monocultured

If Morn didn't have access to a holo suite that lets him asphyxiate dabo girls, cut them into oblongs and then feed them to a simulation of his mother, then he would go simply mad and kill everyone in Quarks. Or he'd be forced to travel to Farius Prime and use a blackmarket holo suite run by the Orion Syndicate.  Figaro fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jun 29, 2015 |

I loving love Frakes' smirks in TNG. As Picard goes from smile to look of shock, Riker goes from shock to barely contained poo poo eating grin. He's always giving some smirk in the background and it is great.

At the start of the series he was kind of a rules-bound hardass, even going so far as to contradict Picard about when it was appropriate for the captain to go on away missions. Whoever decided that he should be a big ol' licentious teddy bear was a genius.

It was inevitable. They tried to hide Frakes behind Roddenberry's Riker but it couldent hold. First, there was the beard, then he got husky and eventually at some point during season 3, Frakes exploded out of Riker and never left Frakes is totally responsible for Riker's charisma and charm. You just need to rewatch season 1 and check out how humourless and dull the writers wrote him as but even then he still had the Frakes twinkle in his eye.

Oh yeah, he's totally cool IRL. I just meant that technically the editors and directors could have tag-teamed him into being Mr. Bland. Were they trying to recreate Majel Barrett's Number One or something? Because that's a dumb loving idea when your lead isn't a Kirk or Sisko type.

Plus all those ear masturbation scenes are weird and Quark sexually harassing a rather young looking Dabo girl is not as hilarious as the show thinks it is. Magnificent Ferengi is pretty good though and also Business as Usual. Steven Berkoff practically devours the habitat ring with his overacting, it's great!

I'm not even talking about like the neon green violin and chess. I remember at one point they had like a flower vase but it was all weird and stylized because it was a flower vase of the future. I'd love to have been on the art/design team who thought that poo poo up.
