IMO skeletons have never been featured as an enemy on Star Trek, might be worth a shot?

I'm cautiously optimistic about The Orville. ST:D looks uninteresting at the least, a flaming pile at the worst, and having a show nostalgic for 90s Star Trek is a-ok in my book.

I hope (and expect) that both this show and Discovery will have at least one "this is why being a fascist or an apologist for fascism is bad and wrong" episode because evidently not enough fuckwit nerds got the message from all the other shows

So I know it's not supposed to be a completely 100% jokes all the time show but at the moment I feel like I'll like the pilot of Orville but any enjoyment I get out of the rest of the series (or, lets be real here because FOX, season) will be based entirely on how often the comedy relies on all those sci-fi cliche jokes we all know are used or how they are used. Comparisons to Galaxy Quest abound already but we already have the perfect example of how you can poke fun at a fanbase without being a jerk about it so you kind of already have to do at least that.Tighclops posted:I hope (and expect) that both this show and Discovery will have at least one "this is why being a fascist or an apologist for fascism is bad and wrong" episode because evidently not enough fuckwit nerds got the message from all the other shows Dukat did nothing wrong! *sees episode where he literally turns into Hitler having hallucinations* Dukat still had some good ideas!

I mean the intellectual tradition it's in is literally called the Enlightenment. DS9's lighting was done that way for production reasons. They built the sets with modular grid ceilings and put all the lights up there. It's darker but you can do a lot more with the cameras with large sets and unobstructed lines of vision. They built a very large 2-story set that includes the station promenade and Quark's, and since all the lighting is hidden in the set ceilings you can pan the cameras over those big sets however you want. There are a few 360 degree panning shots in Quark's that you might not notice but would not be possible with the way the TNG sets were done. They explained it in-show that Cardassians preferred dim light and even the fairly dim light on the station was the brightest setting. The Cardassian characters complain about it from time to time. Voyager had no excuse for its silver and grey color scheme and dim alert condition lighting.

Dukat is a great character because he's exactly the sort of narcissistic creep that takes people in and makes them think that all his failures and cruelty must be somebody else's fault. He's petty, cruel, and not too bright but Alaimo brings so much charm and swagger to the character you can see why he had a fan club. Dukat is a lot like a handsome Donald Trump come to think of it. Seasons 1-5 Dukat was the best villain in Star Trek history and it's a shame that they had to make him a raving lunatic so that the fans would stop writing him letters. You just love to hate him.

The funny thing I remember reading is that even Alaimo got on the "Dukat wasn't all that bad" train, and someone had to go up to him and basically say "Um, dude, you're the bad guy".Arglebargle III posted:it's a shame that they had to make him a raving lunatic so that the fans would stop writing him letters. You just love to hate him. They had to do that because they forgot the second half of 90s grimdark: just as that demands that the Good Guys are Kinda Bad, the Bad Guys have to be Kinda Good. To kinda shake things back to basic principles, you have to make the Bad Guy be really bad (which, in opposing them, makes the Good Guys good again.

I'm pretty sure what he said was that Dukat sees himself as the hero, not the villain. Which is how every modern actor plays villains: "in his mind, he's right and everybody else is wrong."

He's a good villain because you can see how pathetic his "I'm the good guy here" routine really is. Sure he believes it because he's pretty much Dennis from Always Sunny if he was a Nazi officer.

I was all ready to tell you why Dukat is better than Trump when I remembered that he also has a daughter he wants to gently caress. He's still way more eloquent though.

Yeah, won't argue that, they basically turned into flat out fantasy demons in Star Trek. There is something to be said for the idea of crazy-rear end wormhole aliens who actually interact with the world for their own ineffable ends and don't even try to look good doing it like the Prophets, in a Lovecraftian way, but it ended up just being angels vs demons with Bajesus vs Anti-Christdassian.
