Son of Sam-I-Am posted:I have heard they are making a Top Gun 2, so maybe it's time to remedy my lack. Top Gun: Maverick. It was supposed to be out this year, but the release was delayed because Tom Cruise is insane and insisted on learning how to actually fly a jet. This is not a joke.

I saw Profit and Lace and He Without Sin as a kid, but for now it's still the Storyteller for me for how boring it is. Move Along Home was at least silly enough to be entertaining, bouffant aliens with triangles painted on their face and all. Kept thinking I should know the lead alien from somewhere. It's amazing what an utter delight Garak is from his first appearance. I wonder if I can find that book Andrew Robinson wrote about him. It's funny, as a kid I filed Garak away as a character not interested in relationships, which made it jarring when he and Ziyal(?) became a thing. I think 'not interested in relationships' was how I interpreted 'celibate TV gay' (though apparently Robinson played Garak as pansexual). It's too bad TV wasn't ready for that yet as it would've made sense for Trill to be pansexual too. davidspackage fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Mar 4, 2019 |

I don't believe this is true at all. Top Gun 2 didn't even begin shooting until last summer, and then it was halted because of Cruise's bugnuts "I want to fly a fighter" demand; they re-started filming a few weeks ago. It's more likely that Cavill couldn't do the HALO jump because Cruise is insane and demanded to do it himself, whereas Cavill could get green-screened in.

I figured Garak was more 'Kid, I'm old enough to be your father and know him all too well', though I'm not sure how of that I remembered or correctly interpreted. Like he took her under his wing a bit because she's lonely as hell and the only other Cardassian around he can talk to, but was uncomfortable with her schoolgirl crush.

Like he took her under his wing a bit because she's lonely as hell and the only other Cardassian around he can talk to, but was uncomfortable with her schoolgirl crush. At one point Garak does set her straight and basically say ‘I’m only associating with you because you’re the only other Cardassian on the station and you seem to like the attention’, but as with all things Garak it’s tough to tell how much of that is a lie. It seems pretty clear, especially after she dies, that Garak really did have feelings for her but wanted to keep his distance to protect her.

Dang, I wonder how much that's costing them. Fighter jet time is wicked expensive. On the other hand, at least that's actually relevant to his character, as opposed to contorting a movie around getting a starship captain into a position where he's driving a dune buggy in the desert.

Keep in mind that a lot of time, the casting process features fake names and backstories to get actors a feel for the kind of role they are auditioning for but not the exact elements of their character.

Oh good, one of the first casting announcements will be to make sure that loving Section 31 is here to poo poo up this show too. I wonder how long until there's a scene where Picard objects to Alana and S31's enhanced interrogation techniques but then relents and acknowledges that sometimes other people's paths have more shades of grey than his, and never once brings up the lovely weekend he spend with David Warner that one time.

S04E03: People are treating Seven of Nine like somebody from a Communist immigrant to America from the Soviet Union instead of somebody who got bitten by zombies at a young age and then got cured, and I think it's a case of the show trying out a metaphor that doesn't really make any sense as far as how characters react to it at face value. It reminds me how, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first two seasons, Angel seemed nearly a metaphor for a boyfriend with a checkered or criminal past who started acting nice and great then turned abusive again. On the surface of it, he'd lost his restored soul due to magic, and characters were treating his normal soul-having self as culpable for all the murders done while in that state. In either case, that kind of revenge or revulsion doesn't really have a rational basis to begin with anyway, though

Was there ever any explicit mention of why synthehol hasn't replaced alcohol completely? No hangover, no dependency, and you can snap yourself out of the drunkiness by sheer force of will.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’m a little confused as to how you would do an alcoholic character in the future where presumably the issue could be cured by science? We have anti-alcoholism medication treatment right now that people can't/won't take, and the Federation has never been shown to have perfect medicine or therapy. Like Picard's heart, or Barkley being in therapy for a decade (?) and still barely coping with life when we see him again in Voyager. Federation people have been shown to turn to drugs several times- T'Pol with the trellium and the kid captain from the USS Valiant with his space adderall. Trek has never shown that they can fix that part of human nature, especially if the person doesn't want to change.

Scudworth posted:We have anti-alcoholism medication treatment right now that people can't/won't take Eh, let's not get too hasty. Naltrexone's long-term success rate, even when patients are fully compliant with taking their pills, is still only around 15 percent, last I read. And Antabuse has been essentially debunked by therapists due to its negative reinforcement effect (making people go "I don't want to drink because I'll get sick," as opposed to "I don't want to drink because it is ruining my life"). Jury's still out on Campral, but I know for a fact it didn't work for me and instead just gave me massive mood swings back before I got sober.

Nessus posted:Because 9/11 taught us that everything will be bad forever and the only choice is to grimly repeat the same behavior over and over again until you die, having ruined everything. This is a silly take when even in TNG era stuff synthehol was often basically treated as way crappier than real alcohol.
