If I recall he wasn't ranked either, he was just wearing a uniform. He got a provisional rank at the end of Caretaker. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Oct 13, 2018 |

You've clearly watched Voyager more than I have  Like many things Voyager, the details soon the character were silly and perfunctory. If course, on Voyager almost everything about the characters was silly and perfunctory.

Hah, I just watched Caretaker out of boredom. Apparently the reason they put the mention of the Caretaker's mate in the episode was because the studio was like "Look we're not sure about this whole 'lost in space' idea, we really just want more TNG." and Rick Berman had to put in a reset button so the show could be sent back to the Alpha Quadrant whenever they want in order to sell it to them.

I wouldn't mind it if they straight-up remade Voyager or Enterprise with the same concept and time period, but with common criticisms fixed

Just set it after the fall of the Federation. Everything is Gorn now. All the crewmen, all the characters. Just the Gorn hunting down survivors and feasting on their flesh. It's funny though because it turns out the Gorn are really wacky. At point Spock shows up, but they explain he was Gorn the whole time.

The Enterprise can be the flying Star Base that it should be, and you can have science ships and nu-defiants and things doing their proper work. Probably have an Admiral in charge of the fleet on the Ent, but not as a major character. Cool. Won't happen. But cool.

TNG S04E20 - I groaned when I realized this would be another paper-thin-excuse-to-put-the-crew-in-period-costume episode, but it turned out pretty entertaining. Worf's dumb I AM NOT A MERRY MAN!  pun made me laugh more then it probably deserved.

END CHEMTRAILS NOW posted:I doubt it'll happen, but I'd really like them to go further into the future too. I'd go even further though, into the 30th or 31st century. The idea is for them to have achieved a Culture-like level of technology where they can basically do whatever they want, and plots focus more on things like diplomacy, ethical dilemmas, and interpersonal relationships. I imagine the ship having an embassy on board, with the Romulan and Dominion ambassadors as major characters, and they can occasionally take on diplomats from new species they encounter. Having Spock, Worf, and Quark as part of the cast gave a lot of opportunities to delve into their respective cultures and develop them. Imagine if after the Enterprise encountered Tholians, they had a Tholian ambassador, or a Pakled, or Tamarian, even as minor characters. I think that would be interesting to see. Something like that could be a good angle for the Picard show to take. Rather than find some excuse for him to be in the captain's chair of another regular old starship, put him in charge of this sort of mobile embassy representing the Alpha Quadrant or major powers of the galaxy as we know it. You could have all kinds of political stories inside and outside the ship on top of running into weird space poo poo.

Delsaber posted:Same here. Mine finally died somewhere in early DS9, but the colours started going years before that. Sky shots, Andorians, and Sonic the Hedgehog were all a weird pale shade of green for a lot of my childhood. The phosphors used on the screens have a finite lifespan. In fact nuclear batteries that use beta emitters get their lifespan ratings from the phosphor used, because the phosphor will degrade faster than the nuclear material.

HD DAD posted:This poo poo always fascinates me Actually that's kinda not true, professional nuclear batteries use betavoltaics to convert the radiation directly to electricity with a diode very much like a photovoltaic cell. However you can build one with phosphors and a photovoltaic cell at home using the little tritium hand lights they sell online. Just buy like ten hand lights, sandwich them between a couple calculator solar cells and wrap it in electrical tape and you have a nuclear battery. In that particular design the phosphor is the part that degrades first. In the factory version the tritium decaying is what limits the lifetime. These batteries are very small and inefficient. They're only useful for stuff like circuit boards that need constant power (like military chips that need to be able to fry themselves) or medical implants. They started putting nuclear batteries in people back in the 70s in pacemakers but they used Prometheum 147, which is fine by itself but its decay chain includes Pm 146. Pm 146 is a gamma emitter and they decided that actually implanting people with a gamma emitter no matter how small the contamination in the battery was not okay.

Thomas Riker is tasked with building a bridge for the Cardassian high command to use in a ceremony. He's really good at it, and begins to take pride in his work even though this is a labor camp. A bajoran prisoner plans to destroy the bridge during a parade, but Tom's gone native and is way too into that bridge.
