Powered Descent posted:I'm glad he escaped commercial-gig hell with Voyager, but it kind of sucks that he never really escaped the resulting typecasting. What did he do post-Voyager? I know he did all those fan-made series, but I don't remember seeing him anywhere unlike most of his contemporaries.

With a couple of notable exceptions, the Voyager cast seems like a pretty chill decent group of people. It’s just a shame they were on the blandest possible Star Trek show.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I think they’re already falling into the same trap that a lot of rewatch podcasts do; most of the show’s episodes just aren’t interesting enough to warrant their own focused podcast episodes. They should have just grouped the lovely ones together or cherry-picked the most well-known eps to talk about. Another thing that would help a ton is if McNeill wasn’t so passive about everything and actually contributed to the conversation. Most of the time it’s just Wang rambling on. I actually liked their Caretaker episodes quite a bit, but man it’s been slim pickings since then. I really like Treks and the City but yeah, it can be really hit or miss depending on the guests. Generally speaking the better episodes of TNG get better content but sometimes the terrible eps will have good comedy poo poo and good criticism. If nothing else everyone should look up their interview with Jonathan Frakes because it's amazing and I wish he was my dad.

Well, looks like there's going to be an unofficial Voyager Reunion: https://comicbook.com/startrek/news/star-trek-voyager-cast-reunion-jeri-ryan-25th-anniversary/ It looks like all the principals EXCEPT Kes (Jennifer Lien) are gonna show up. Mulgrew sounds like she's got zero enthusiasm for a real Voyager reunion a la Picard, and Ryan said her four years on Voyager were not the most fun four years...

Jennifer Lien losing that role seriously messed her up, can't really blame her for not wanting a trip down a memory lane with a giant axle-busting pothole.

If you have a Wear OS (the OS formerly known as Android Wear) there is, via the app Facer. Facer is also on Samsung watches so maybe it works for them too? Unfortunately my Zenwatch 3 died mysteriously like 6 months ago and I lack all motivation to figure out why or how to fix it. But here's a facsimile of it:

I tried to get into Treks and the City but it’s really dependent on the guests. I highly recommend Rachel Watches Star Trek (https://www.rachelwatchesstartrek.com); they’ve just recently started on TNG, having gone through TOS, TAS and the original crew movies,

This thread seems to be getting thirsty living in isolation. It's such a no-brainer though that I don't know how they didn't do it. Of course the guy who has grown up on spaceships his entire life, knows them inside out and should be able to fix a malfunctioning warp drive with a roll of tape or a grav plate with a hammer should be the engineer.

Sir Lemming posted:Hooray, we finally got to "Cause and Effect" in our TNG watching, and it's still a perfect episode! A masterpiece of both writing and directing. Cause and Effect is probably one of the best time loop stories I've ever seen. It was before the concept was cliche, yet it manages to avoid a lot of the groan-inducing tropes (such as the first loop, like you mentioned). It starts in media res, to an extent, which means that the clues they use to solve the time loop are present from the audience's beginning. The thing with the different cameras was intentional for that exact reason: to prevent audience boredom. The "cause" as it were is easy enough to understand (we exploded right next to a time portal) that even people who aren't interested in sci fi can understand and enjoy the episode.
