Kibbles n Shits posted:Also was the doctor from Enterprise meant to be some sort of hybrid between Neelix and the EMH? Decently entertaining character but only by virtue of trying to be Robert Picardo. I don't see the resemblance. Doctor Phlox is quite low-key compared to Neelix and he's much kinder and more likeable than the sarcastic dickhead that is the EMH.

I half remember him freaking out Trip with a casual "hey, my wife is into you, you should totally schtump her brains out" at some point. Unrelated, one of the guys at the Greatest Gen mentioned this on one of their episodes, and I find myself agreeing: I really wish that over time the Cardassian paneling and coloring of DS9 would Federationize (for lack of a better term). It would've been really cool for sheer progression. I mean, it kinda did that already, but more would've been nice.

Makes sense when your marriages are each person has 3 spouses independently of one another that you'd be pretty open about that poo poo.

Dr. Phlox is a laid back alien along for the ride. He’s a more accepting, less judgmental counter to T’Pol’s Vulcan criticisms. T’Pol calls the humans on their failings and prejudices early and often. Phlox gently suggests that universe is a bigger place and doesn’t fit the human narratives. That doesn’t mean he’s a push over. He’ll stand up to Archer when ethics demands. He’s also a practitioner of alternative medicines. He doesn’t have access to the miracle cures Bones and Crusher have. The only things I’ve seen Billingsly in are Enterprise, Six Feet Under, and a corporate customer service training video. That’s a shame. *Dr. Phlox is an anti-vaxxer.

Oxyclean posted:I know time cops pop up a few times, and the Federation has a Temporal Prime Directive or whatever, but I'm kind of surprised the federations' enemies didn't somehow find out about these time travel techniques and just abuse them like crazy. The fun (read: literally loving awful) thing about time travel in shows like Star Trek is that... they might be! You can't know! Star Trek has established a million times over that people who aren't directly involved in the time travel shenanigans have no idea what's going on, except for when they do, but nevermind that. Maybe every episode of Star Trek is in a universe where other people have hosed with the Federation. Maybe Yesterday's Enterprise is the un-hosed with timeline and Guinan is just a dummy. Maybe the reason every other episode involves some universe-changing discovery that's then promptly forgotten is because someone went back in time to erase it.

Some things about DS9 pilot: 1) for all the talk and drama about her being so young, I think Terry Farrell holds herself up really well 2) it was really nice to have that scene with Picard and O'Brian, with a little bit of that TNG theme 3) they should have had an episode of TNG overlapping this one where we see Picard's reaction to that meeting with Sisko 4) this is the best pilot of Star Trek

That... sounds pretty cool. BLEE-DE-BLEE-DE "Come." "Captain, you've been brooding in here all day." says Troi, concerned, "Brooding? Hm. I suppose..." Picard inhales heavily. "I had a most... uncomfortable experience, counselor."

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I like how - during the 'Ent-D is getting hosed up in space' scene in Generations - the Klingons are all "fire at will!", and the next shot is Riker doing an 'is there anything we can pull out of thin air to save the day' bit, while injured crewmembers are being dragged away from around him.

I love everything the Brian Thompson klingon says in that movie. The teeth and his delivery conspire to make every shouted line a river rapid of consonants. WE ARE CLOAWKING OUWER SHIELDS ARE DOWAN

Brian Thompson is one of those guys where it feels like he's been on Trek way more times than he actually has, it was only 3 times wasn't it?

Two Klingons, the weird red wrestler dude from DS9, a Jem Hadar, and the Romulan Drone guy from Enterprise. I always forget he’s the Klingon that helps Riker in A Matter of Honor.

Brawnfire posted:Serve the trivalve sauce... with your hand. That's such an amazing scene. Cherry Chevapravatdumrong's script is very well conceived - turning a family drama episode into Cape Fear with no notice. The actors completely sell it under John Cassar's direction, and it looks like experience on 24 actually helped him handle the tone of the second half of the episode. Probably the best episode of the season.

Trip Tucker and Captain Archer are all right enough individually, but they didn't seem to belong in the same show because there is only so much room for people who are easily compared with Captain Kirk in one episode before it goes from tolerable to tedious

I've watched all of Entrprise and there is nothing even approaching how bad and boring those episodes are. incorrect, the Dying Dog episode is worse than all voyager ones

Miles O'Brien's No Good Very Bad Time Day might be my favorite DS9 side episode. E: Mind you Distant Voices, my old favorite and easy second is right after that so maybe just lump those two together for a really good night of Trek. Orv fucked around with this message at 11:02 on May 5, 2019 |
