Were there ever any books written where it’s explained how Qo’nos was saved after the Praxis explosion?

The Worf/Tori thing came near the end of the show but I think it was done quite well with buildup like Parallels.

Like it wanted to go cuh-razy with the possibilities of a Star Trek without physical sets or actors - then they had James Doohan voicing everything by doing that thing where you pinch your nose to TALK LIKE THIS. The re-used animation becomes super-obvious, and everything's pink because of the director's colour-blindness. It's just ... cheap.

TAS is awesome. It’s literally a perfect continuation of TOS right down to the constantly shrinking budget, growing need to reuse content, and increasingly bizarre premises.

I'm now following a watchlist to skip the chaff, and I'm in love. I also recently went through TNG in it's entirety for the first time, and the first time as an adult. One thing I find super interesting is that generally speaking, the Enterprise vastly outmatches any of the aliens species they come across in terms of technical prowess and battle capability. So just about every confrontation comes down to a situational moral dilemma or exploring a characters internal conflict, rather than a flash space battle. It's one of those little things where I personally feel we wouldn't have gotten as good a show without Gene laying the ground work, even if he was bat poo poo crazy. It would have been a very action focused series or a clone of TOS otherwise. The writers sure as poo poo had to put up with a lot - but it also prevented them from being lazy and doing easy stories.

S03E12 - The High Ground. I really enjoyed this one, particularly because somehow I don't think a primetime network TV show would have an episode explore the morality of terrorism from the viewpoint of the terrorist in the 21st century.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't use Q - singular or plural - more often, to get away with stuff that didn't fit with 'Gene's Vision'. Right there you've got a character with the power to gently caress around with the fabric of reality, and who can literally snap their fingers to reset everything back to status quo. ...I know it'd be terrible, I'm just surprised it never happened!

I've banged on about it in this thread before, but mentioning how terrorist actions directly led to Irish reunification is remarkably tone-deaf. Could you imagine the uproar if someone on Discovery mentioned how 'the 9/11 incident' ended the Eugenics Wars?

Just watched “Dax”. Really just a meh episode. They kept harping on how different Jadzia was from Curzon, but it’s way too early in the show’s run to be playing on that. We have no idea who Jadzia is yet. And it’s not helped at all by the fact that Terry Farrell can’t emote anything more complex than “I’m wearing pants”.

The British, on the other hand, didn't take too kindly to that line

Windows 98 posted:https://twitter.com/trekdocs/status/1040974792164294656?s=21 I couldn't help but laugh at the Google AdWords I got the other day when searching for a spam call number... [timg]  [/timg]Also I thought they managed to do some neat stuff with Wesley post season 1, and they certainly helped redeem what was otherwise a truly excruciating character, slowly but surely... However, I just saw that final season 7 episode with him. What the hell. Overnight he's just decided to be an arsehole now and a unlikeable dick to everyone because he's second guessing his career in Starfleet. Apparently those last six seasons of his character building were for naught because we remembered we had some half remembered plot point about how he was destined for greater things and we better act on it before the show's over. So he fails to redeem his earlier behavior and just abandons everyone and everything he cares about to travel with some space pedo for awhile. Though I guess whatever great things those two got up to in the funky dimension didn't last long, since he decides to rejoin Starfleet anyway according to his Nemesis cameo which laughably invalidates the point of that episode.

I know at least one fanfilm was doing TAS style stuff a long time ago, and others were considering it. The one thing about animated Trek is it is exempt from all the CBS fanfilm rules--you can do episodes longer than 15 minutes, have a series, use actors who appeared in ST, etc. I'm surprised there's not more of it to be honest.
