A great episode of B5 followed around a couple of maintenance workers around for the episode. Would watch a series about them.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I disagree, I think that episode was lame as gently caress. Not even so much for the "working-class guys' perspective" as for the ultra-cornball way it was written. Which yes it was more cornball than the usual episode of B5. I will admit I have terrible tastes, I also really liked the episode GROPOS.

Entropic posted:Was that when they first brought in those other three weirdos who were super-geniuses but still complete social retards? That was later. They found out he's altered when Picardo is around interviewing everybody so he can make an EMH out of Bashier. The socially retarded geniuses came later, and Bashier gets to deal with them, cause he's a genius too. To be honest, I kinda like those episodes too. Jack owns.

I would honestly spend my time on a starship stacking crates and boxes, cause eventually we'll get to a baller planet for some shore leave. Though why O'brien doesnt just the transporter to do it, I dunno.

Binary Badger posted:Uh, did you see Star Trek: The Motion Picture? Remember the ending? I have... and I don't... A remember a long long sequence of starship porn. I think some klingons getting blown up, a bald woman, "PHOTON TORPEEDOS... AWAAAAYYYY!!!!", and spock slowly drifting towards V'ger. That is all I remember of TMP. Edit: I've seen that movie atleast six times.

Kitchner posted:Yeah, I mean at least it started off with everyone being like "gently caress no I don't want to go in that thing! Wait, it's that or die? poo poo! Fine I guess!". Then it was just like "Now beam down the commando team" Makes sense, that's why you have a team of suicidal marines. To send them in, so you don't have to go.

Holodecks fall apart because they support multiple people. The technology would be more believable if it was a one person at a time rule. A bunch of suites instead of a deck. Interlinked of course for multi participant.

JediTalentAgent posted:There was this show that tried it about 10 years ago, but it didn't last. This is a fantastic show, and honestly, the fact it only lasted a season is a good thing. No time to gently caress it up. Dexter would have been a great 2 season show. The rise and fall of Dexter. Basically, miniserieses are great.

The original Ferengi version is the best one. Robs from the rich and keeps it for himself. Minus taxes and bribes to officials (and taxes on those). The giving to the poor thing was he was the first Ferengi to figure out a loop hole in where donating to charity actually made him money in tax breaks.

However, he is constantly undermined by his Russian dad who insists on sitting on the bridge in a smelly old recliner, guzzling Stolichnaya and laughing about how Worf pissed himself the first time he saw a bear. Can we get Paul Sorvino back to reprise his role as Worf's dad?

Star Trek 09 is my favourite star wars movie. So I think JJ will do good with the new Wars. Justin Lin of Fast And Furious might be able to pull off a decent trek. Too bad it's the already poo poo reboot trek he's making : (

Justin Lin said "that song was already in the reboot. It's part of the reboot. I will be using it in my reboot movie." I have faith he can do something better than JJ. And Orci didn't do any writing. Should I finally watch Into Darkness before this one?

You'd have to be the bravest fucker alive to fly a fighter in star trek. While they look cool on screen, and had some uses in Starfleet Battles, fighters don't fit into Trek too well.

The worst acting in all of B5 and sci-fi in general are space combat scenes. Cause yeah, just watch and see. When high as a kite, they are hilarious to watch due to the poor acting ludicrousness of it all.
