The Borg are so loving chilled out, they send like one cube everytime to take down the entire Federation and when that doesn't work, the Queen is like "Janeway!" and shakes her fist and imagines the Captain of Voyager as her personal slave drone, who she can make deepthroat her sacral vertebrae any day of the week.

Ah but that's not proper gay because it wasn't Jadzia having lusty feelings for Lenara Kahn but the Dax symbiont. One of Dax's previous host was Torias Dax who was married to one of the Kahn symbiont's previous hosts. So in a past life, Dax was the husband and Kahn was the wife. Jadzia and Lenara are just along for the ride!

muscles like this? posted:Frakes was all "you should make it more androgynous/manly" and the producers were all "no, that would be gay." Star Trek doesn't ever go full gay. It would confuse the young men Full Gay; human male couple Men kissing Butch Lesbians Gay couple in bed together talking about their day Lip service gay: Sexless alien society that is metaphor for gay rights? Riker falls for androgynous alien who just so happens to look like a young woman in her later twenties. Hot bisexual women kissing for the boys Same sex love affairs between (female) aliens that are really about a made up alien taboo Character dresses up as woman and gets kissed by male to his horror Throwaway dialogue about "co husbands" Never meet these characters.

But on the other hand, I really like Major Kira and Ro Laren. They're the best

opus111 posted:i dunno but i suspect its something to do with worf because any klingon involvement turns ronald moore into a super saiyan writer and he was the showrunner. Actually Ira Behr was DS9's show runner and was a huge part of what made it so great. Everyone behind the scenes testifys to Behr's openness to new ideas and him having weekly arguments with Rick Berman to make the show increasingly serialized. There was even a big thing about how much of Nog's leg to take off when he was injured, Berman was horrified at the idea of a Starfleet officer losing his leg in a war. There's that Ronald D Moore interview where he talks about the massive differences in the Voyager/DS9 writers rooms and how that was due to Ira Behr's influence as show runner. Meanwhile Voyager (Brannon Braga) was content to play it safe and he was a complete oval office to Moore when he came over from DS9. DS9 always tried to push the envelope and even when an idea didn't always work , at least it was ambitious and didn't rely on loving Borg nano probes!

http://www.lcarscom.net/rdm1000118.htm Everyone should give it a read. It's really informative and Voyager's contempt for its audience and Trekkies can be summed up by... In addition, Moore is bothered by the show’s lack of continuity. "The continuity of the show is completely haphazard. It’s haphazard by design. It’s not like they are trying desperately to maintain continuity of the show. They don’t care, and they’ll tell you flat out that they don’t care. Well, that is misreading the core audience. The STAR TREK, hardcore audience loves continuity; they love accumulating data on these ships. They love knitting together all the little pieces, and compiling lists, and doing trivia. That’s been a staple of the STAR TREK culture from the get-go. People really love the details. They love the fact that the details all add up and make one mosaic, and that the universe holds together. When you don’t give a poo poo, you’re telling the audience: don’t bother. Don’t bother to really learn this stuff, because it’s not going to matter next week, anything that happened this week."

Harry and Geordi are both pretty bad characters and the closest thing to the goon ideal. geordi; Good- is really good with technobabble. Doesn't cheat at poker. Has magic eyes. Data is his best friend. Grew a pretty nice beard for three eps. The Minds Eye. Geordi roll. Played by LeVar Burton Bad- is angry and bitter with women. Virgin. Is on same emotional level as a hothoused teen and a robot. Met his mother/father/sister once and they were dull. Holographic fuckdoll Dr Leah Brahms. Bit of a brown noser. Was a dick to Scotty even tho Scotty is a pain in the arse, the poor man is very old and everyone he's ever known is dead, give him a break LaForge. harry; Good- nice hair. Good at standing for long shifts. Probably not a virgin. Had a girlfriend, yes a real one. Bad- Tom Paris is his best friend. Horrendous banter. "I'm...I'm locked out!". Acts like Captain Janeway is his mother. Only dies in other realities. Also fell madly in love with a hologram. Favourite Son. Played by Garrett Wang. Moans about being an ensign/being far from home too much..

the TNG lot should have reprogrammed all of Reg's pervy hololadies so that their skin while looking silky and smooth, actually felt like sandpaper and leaves you raw and bloody. Also when he leans in to kiss his darling holoTroi, they've altered her holo breath so it smells like she's just been sick. Then when he touch her boob, she shits herself. To stop anyone else on the crew getting addicted to fantasies, they could appointed Data as "Holodeck Manager". He'd keep them PG13

Mr. Horrible posted:Quark's no hero. He rented Nog's rear end out to pervy Bajoran priests on the regular. That's why he's so hosed up emotionally. If Morn didn't have access to a holo suite that lets him asphyxiate dabo girls, cut them into oblongs and then feed them to a simulation of his mother, then he would go simply mad and kill everyone in Quarks. Or he'd be forced to travel to Farius Prime and use a blackmarket holo suite run by the Orion Syndicate.  Figaro fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jun 29, 2015 |

Mr. Horrible posted:At the start of the series he was kind of a rules-bound hardass, even going so far as to contradict Picard about when it was appropriate for the captain to go on away missions. It was inevitable. They tried to hide Frakes behind Roddenberry's Riker but it couldent hold. First, there was the beard, then he got husky and eventually at some point during season 3, Frakes exploded out of Riker and never left Frakes is totally responsible for Riker's charisma and charm. You just need to rewatch season 1 and check out how humourless and dull the writers wrote him as but even then he still had the Frakes twinkle in his eye.

opus111 posted:lol why are they 'creepy'? also all Ferengi episodes own. Cultural relativism be damned but Quark begging his mother to take her clothes off is a little creepy. Plus all those ear masturbation scenes are weird and Quark sexually harassing a rather young looking Dabo girl is not as hilarious as the show thinks it is. Magnificent Ferengi is pretty good though and also Business as Usual. Steven Berkoff practically devours the habitat ring with his overacting, it's great!

You can sort of estimate how insane Janeway is likely to be by her hair length. She's relatively sane in the first three seasons with her sensible bun and then her pony tail thing. I'm not a fan of the massive coffered held together by force fields hairstyle of s5-7

Nah, I don't think the federation would believe being gay is a defect that needs to be cured by in vitro manipulation. What is this, the Eugenics Wars! I like the answer the Roddenberry gave when a bunch of nerds were moaning that their captain was a bald man and why didn't Picard's parents delete the gene for pattern baldness or why didn't Jean Luc get Mr Mott to repolarise his hair follicles or why didn't he just wear a hat all the time so nobody could see the top of his head but everyone would really knows he's a bit thin on top but they're just too polite to voice it. The official answer is that, by the 24th century, nobody cares.

In the case of the latter it's there to disintegrate me and my family to stop them being assimilated. Only the main characters survive that. I'd take my duvet and go hide in the haunted nacelle room from "Eye of the Beholder" because Alien intruders probably won't look there. But you're hosed if you go to Ten Forward or that nondescript corridor set that everyone always walks up and down, definetly going to come across a boarding party there!

What if your replicator broke and instead of making you that Bacardi and coke you ordered after a busy shift in engineering, something went wrong with its command pathways and instead it replicated a corrosive acid and pepsi? You'd need to keep a tricorder handy anytime you replicated something because if the replicators are even half as glitchy and accident prone as the holodecks/transporters/data...oh dear. They should have just installed vending machines in the corridors

Kesper North posted:So he's European, is what you're saying. Yup! A healthy work/life balance. We only generally see the tip of the iceberg, I'm guessing most people in the Federation are more like Sisko's dad than Sisko. The folk who crave space, 8 hour shifts, getting up early and wearing a uniform every day, have the opportunity to go live their regimented lives in Starfleet. Or if you like all that but you're a bit thick, you can go work as a waiter in ten forward If you don't fancy space adventures or complex mathematics but still like working every day and being busy you can go settle on a starter colony on the edge of federation space where life is hard but rewarding and you can work the land and take your place within a growing community of pioneers. If you really like science and are a bit weird, you can go live on an isolated spsce station somewhere. If you really like banquets,small talk and trying to irritate captains, you can go be a federation diplomat And for people like Jake who are happy just writing/painting/performing music, they can hone their craft and have the time and freedom to do other things as well. Like if Jake has a family, he can spend so much more time with them than if he were a starfleeter. Anytime any of the Starfleet characters mentions their Officer parents or childhoods, it always sounds really messy, unsettled, bit lonely and they come across as borderline socially maladjusted. I mean jesus there was a TNG ep (I forget which one) where Ashley Judd confesses that her first friend growing up was a tricorder and that her childhood was poo poo because her parents were too into their work. Then Wesley admits his friend was a warp coil. No wonder they needed a conselor onboard

Ezri might have been a wuss, a feeble space sick sometimes hystercal counselor who barfed when she drank bloodwine but she was the only character in 11 years of Star Trek to finally break it to Worf that the Klingon Empire was basically a bit poo poo. Ezri Dax posted:I think that the situation with Gowron is a symptom of a bigger problem. The Klingon Empire is dying; and I think it deserves to die.I tend to look at the Empire with a little more skepticism than Curzon and Jadzia did. I see a society that is in deep denial about itself. We're talking about a warrior culture that prides itself on maintaining centuries-old traditions of honor and integrity. But in reality, it's willing to accept corruption at the highest levels. Who was the last leader of the High Council that you respected? Has there even been one? And how many times have you had to cover up the crimes of Klingon leaders because you were told that it was for the good of the Empire? I... I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is, you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron's just the latest example. Worf, you are the most honorable and decent man that I've ever met. And if *you* are willing to tolerate men like Gowron, then what hope is there for the Empire?
