According to Garret wang on the voyager podcast he does with paris he got datas old boots but they were so busted and worn out that the studio had some custom cobbler come try to fix them like 3 times before he just went to a nordstrom rack or something and bought new ones. I guess they had a label I. Them saying b. Spiner. The voyaher podcast (delta flyers on spotify) is full of some pretty fun behind the scenes stuff, like how Garret almost killed harrison ford, but it can be kinda frustrating because I think they lock like 80% of the podcast behind a paywall. Fun to go over all of the voyager episodes and see which they liked or didn't.

In the STO setting, after the fall of the Alliance, the rebellion established a new Terran Empire. Given how utterly cynical DS9's take on the mirror universe was, it seems fitting that things just come full circle.

AntherUslessPoster posted:Sadly half of STO is. God it was beautiful back in ~2012 outside of, frankly, cyberbullying different nerds with goons under the guise of laughs for all, the funniest and most fun time i had in that game was messing around in some stupid borg area that was also a PVP zone. me and a buddy rolled romulans and basically allowed many federation captains to roleplay dying to warbirds decloaking both in front and behind them i have to assume at least some of them appreciated the heck out of that gank E: also basically getting to live out star trek stories in a (well enough) made way to feel immersive. its easy to dismiss the game, or any game i guess, as being poorly made or bad in the context of video games in general. but there are only so many ways you can try to experience stuff like that and STO is certainly no worse than a plastic phaser and cardboard navigation terminal Worf fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Sep 15, 2020 |

They lost control because of weak liberals like Spock, clearly the only options are to either keep the boot on the alien's neck or suffer underneath it. Now you might say, that's completely contradictory to the rest of Star Trek, but that's DS9's fault, not the game.

Millions and millions of dollars being spent, but god forbid they shell out a couple of hundred for a costume that fits the actor. The uniform swap coming partway through the film was a  moment even when I saw it the first time. Some of the crew, but only some of them, randomly decide to change outfits in the middle of a tense situation. Why not do it at the start? Why do it at all? Moichendising! Where the real money is!

Yeah, they blew their costume budget on new uniforms that Robert Blackman designed.  They actually did a day or two of shooting with the new uniforms before realizing they looked terrible on-screen.

Admiralty Flag posted:Yeah, I thought this for a long time then I saw it again recently. I kinda forgot how early the mystery is ruined and how especially creepy the Traveler is in the episode. Still good but better in the mind's eye. I re-watched this last night and thought it was a great episode for a few reasons outside the concept: 1) It makes abundantly clear how much everyone trusts Beverley when she comes to them with claims that in ordinary circumstances would be patently insane to them 2) It makes it clear how competent everyone is and creates an atmosphere of everyone being excellent at their jobs (except perhaps Wesley, who stands out as being more cut out for work as an extradimensional psychic). There's a lot of world-building when they describe all the failsafes that exist in Star Trek to find people. It makes clear that they're suited for life on the Enterprise, where weird poo poo happens all the time and they have to consider things like interdimensional warp phenomena loving up reality. 3) It makes clear how smart and competent Beverley is when she can reason out the problem completely on her own and not have a psychotic break I thought it was a good companion episode to the one I watched next, in which Data is summoned by his creator, systematically locks everyone else out of control of the ship to go see him (endangering lives in the process), and then at the end they don't even consider disciplining him because everyone "gets" Data and understands the situation.

Technically 'Remember Me' was taking place in a universe created by her own thoughts. Maybe that's why the crew was so patient. Ya know, if I ignored the 'bad writing' angle.

Sanders. lol, for some if it definitely, yeah. But I remember a scene or two where Dukat's bitching about becoming a Legate again, but I don't remember anyone ever referring to him as "Legate Dukat". It's just one of those things you notice on a umpteenth watch through. Like how all the aliens are horny for O'Brien.

I always thought it was an allusion to Gaddafi, like how Gaddafi would constantly go on about how his official rank and title in Libya was just "colonel" because he wanted to keep himself humble. And also he was loving crazy, just like Dukat.

I'm surprised you haven't promoted yourself back to Legate by now. Dukat: I prefer the title 'Gul' - So much more hands-on than 'Legate', hm? And less pretentious than the other alternatives - President, Emperor, First Minister - Emissary. Sisko: How about 'Dominion Puppet'?

Cat Hatter posted:That's very similar to an exchange from Ties Of Blood And Water. Yeah, that was the exact exchange I was thinking of. Because that Gaddafi quote, or anecdotes about it at the very least had been around for decades prior that episode of DS9, if I recall. I'd actually heard the Dukat like first but it always stuck with me, and when I heard the Gaddafi quote on like CNN or wherever during the Libyan Revolution in 2011 I was like "Oh poo poo, he's Gul Dukat!  "
