LooseChanj posted:not quite, it's only the middle (rescuing the princess) that's a ripoff of Kurosawa. The attack on the death star is a shot by shot remake of the Dam Busters I will agree to that, however the original characters that would become R2-D2 and C3PO reflect a copy of the two farmers, Tahei and Matashichi. They were supposed to be Imperial bureaucrats stuck in the middle of a hostile world, just as the farmers were wannabe soldiers stuck on the losing side of a battle. I think Lucas just flipped who won and which side was stuck in the original. Then again Luke and Obi-Wan was just the same character, and then in some draft Luke was a woman so whatever, no one will know until Lucas dies and the estate sells his past.

Bad rear end Boutique posted:speaking of clarke i just read Childhood's End It was originally published back in the early 50's but updated a bit for the 80's, with the whole "launching unmanned satellites" becoming "fission based rockets" in the very beginning before the aliens showed up. And being British it's probably the best he could say. FEMA summer camp posted:Been watchin' DS9 again, I can't believe how lovely they treat Dukat. Yeah he was once overseer of Bajor or whatever but he keeps bending over backwards to be friendly/make it up to the hateful racist starfleet crew and they just keep making GBS threads all over him. That's the point, just think "Gee, why do all these countries hate America?"

But what about the episode where it's literally post-biological warfare Earth with the Yangs and the Khoms?

Apparently Ronald Moore came up with an idea that had the crew of DS9 revisiting the Gangster planet, but now they're all Trekkies because of Spock and Kirk, but instead they did Trials and Tribble-ations.

pseudorandom name posted:Your post are, like the Kazon, inferior and unworthy of assimilation. Jeri Taylor, one of the developers of Voyager posted:"The Crips have a rival (or more), for territory; they vie for new worlds, wiping out people on the way. Maybe on some planets they get along with the native population. But generally, they begin, like skinheads, to practice 'ethnic cleansing.'" If you write that for a Star Trek pilot or pitch you should be fired.

The show could have done better if it was only 13 or 15 episodes a season so there wouldn't be boring filler like bulldog or whatever.

So the books are actually worse than the TNG comics about the borg, like the parallel universe where the Enterprise is the only Federation ship left and their crew has too many eyepatches.

Last good thing with Star Trek involving the borg was Star Trek: Borg. It was a FMV game where you played as the son of fatality of Wolf 359 and Q decides to take you back there to gently caress with time. It's basically "Q laughs at you dying for 3 cd's".
