Laterite posted:Kai Winn was terrible but she was a good foil for Kira and Sisko. Utterly unflappable and implacable in her determination to be right at all times. winn is an awful person but she's a good villain imo Mulaney Power Move posted:i could have done without the whole sisko's mom was a space deity thing they did in the last season yes, this and unrelatedly the "everyone loves dax" poo poo are the worst parts of the last season

It's kind of weird that DS9 was basically one of the bad timelines from a typical time travel/multiverse episode since Jake doomed the galaxy to a horrific war by bringing his father back.

Crusader posted:the teaser trailer is top tier also Interesting that the narrator uses the term 'the end of history' in the 'end of the cold war' Star Trek movie. Fukuyama's book came out the following year, but I guess the phrase had been floating around before then?

Why do I keep getting fooled into thinking a Star Trek novel might be entertaining? I'm not even looking for good, just some comfort food, like reading a story about an episode I haven't seen, but so far these books are universally poo poo garbage.

I was kind of pleasantly surprised with one a while back called Vulcan's Forge. It was sort of like Spock flashing back to his childhood in the years leading up to him becoming an ambassador. No real dumb fanservicey stuff, just a solid character book. The sequel was hot garbage that I set down after Spock hosed Saavik on the Enterprise C right before its final battle. Oy.

I tried reading the TNG book “Boogeymen” but I can’t even tell what’s going on. Scenes and chronology shift without notice or indication and we keep hopping into situations in media res without context.

Tighclops posted:look at how good this is IMO VI would have been better if McCoy was the out and out racist and Kirk was more in character with TOS You could have had a really good scene where McCoy calls Kirk out for not actually giving that much of a poo poo that his son died, and Kirk responding that he can't let his personal history turn him into a bigot. A nice star trek scene Also the "Shakespeare is better in the original Klingon" bit should have been a one off joke and not the majority of the dialogue in the action scenes.

Raku posted:IMO VI would have been better if McCoy was the out and out racist and Kirk was more in character with TOS McCoy doesn't really fit as an out and out racist any more than Kirk does, though. The thing about McCoy is that, for all that he's a curmudgeon, he's an empathetic compassionate person who values life. He's not going to let an entire intelligent species get wiped out just because they're Klingons.

Raku posted:IMO VI would have been better if McCoy was the out and out racist and Kirk was more in character with TOS I am thinking about McCoy's scene trying to CPR Gorkon and his speech about "I would have done anything to save him" at the trial, and realize immediately you are wrong. McCoy arguing against peace would have been way out of character. McCoy is just casually racist against Spock because he thinks he's a prick, but he's no actual bigot.

This is probably the wrongest opinion I've ever seen expressed in any of the Star Trek threads on these forums I mean that is up there with "Discovery has maturely written interpersonal relationships between the characters, who are also well defined."

McCoy is that scene in Gran Torino where an old man and his barber teach a teenager it’s okay to be racist but only to people you know it’s okay to be racist to.
