Quantum Cat posted:My wife and I are huge trek nerds back to TOS and we love STD. Aside from it being the best trek since DS9, the dead sea worth of salt it generates in you aatrek types is best part of this show. i judge the media i consume on whether or not i like it but i guess some kind of weird revenge filled existence where you derive enjoyment from other people's dislike of things like a spite fueled goblin while comparing them to a notorious pedophile is also another way to watch your space ship show.

Blistex posted:If he actually is a Klingon, then the most unbelievable part of all of this is that he can actually shoot at, and hit people. Unlike pretty much every other Klingon we've seen in STD. You've stumbled on how they are going to explain the Klingons looking different. Once they realize that surgically removing 30 pounds of bullshit from your face makes you a better warrior then they will all get in line for alterations.

Fartbox posted:It's unrealistic to me that the holodeck isn't constantly occupied by people doing weird sex stuff in there This is explained in universe by everyone attending the academy in their teens, spending their 20s loving in holodecks, then starting their career free of the influence of sex at the age of 30. Why do you think everyone on star ships are in there 30s and just listen to classical music all the time? Picard hosed everyone and everything in every way he could possible think of hundreds of thousands of times and really just wants to sit down with a nice refreshing tea at this point because he has seen some poo poo. He even ate it out of Isaac Newtons rear end in a top hat while Amelia Earhart read a biographical novel about another time he hosed Alf and Tony from Who's The Boss written by a creature made up primarily of buttholes with dicks for hands.

revwinnebago posted:I just saw the Orville episode which is totally a ripoff of the Black Mirror episode where people rate each other on social media. Seth said this was the inspiration for the episode https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_You%27ve_Been_Publicly_Shamed quote:So You've Been Publicly Shamed (2015) is a book by British journalist Jon Ronson about online shaming and its historical antecedents.[2] The book explores the re-emergence of public shaming as an Internet phenomenon, particularly on Twitter. As a state-sanctioned punishment, public shaming was popular in Colonial America. Between 1837 in the UK and 1839 in the US, it was phased out as a punishment, not due to the increasingly populous society, as was widely held,[3][4] but instead in response to rising calls for compassion.[5] Black Mirror didn't exactly invent the concept, they just commented on it.

simplefish posted:Is it just me or did that "Bajor must stand alone" line never really deliver? Like I get it kept them out of the war, kinda? I dunno, just expected a more concrete payoff That was a pretty big payoff for the Bajorans. Every time the station went to red alert the hallways were littered waist deep with Bajoran security officers. If they can't handle Quark's replicator malfunctioning a single Jem'Hadar would commit genocide.

Baronjutter posted:Also how is Bajor still in shambles? Is the Federation not helping them with even the basics? Give them a few dozen industrial replicators and some ready-to-run fusion generators and get their poo poo sorted in like a year tops. They're courting the Bajorans for membership yet don't seem to be offering any aid throughout the show. There are some variables outside of the technology and support available. The Federation gave the Bajorans really advanced farming equipment and they immediately entered a civil war with armed militias roaming the mountains and had a coup attempt all over who gets to use it first.

popewiles posted:At least in DS9, replicators and other high end Federation tech seem to be the carrot in order to get other civilizations to join them. Starfleet is basically looking down at Bajor from their ivory starships saying "you can be post-scarcity too, just as soon as you make your planet arable again and start producing enough food to feed your populace." Their society almost collapsed because some guy fell out of a wormhole and started telling everyone they should be a strict caste based society where your job is based on your family name. The Federation was right to be wary of including them. How long before the entire Federation is at war because a Bajoran priestess decided to stab a Romulan diplomat in the face because she didn't like how his ears felt?

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Starfleet wishes to evacuate you for your own protection. I could identify with those guys. They were forced there due to crash landing and were trapped due to the technobabble atmosphere meaning nobody ever knew what happened to them. So their leader's argument was that he wanted to stay where his father and his grandfather had toiled and died to build a home in an inhospitable place. They had been there for like a century. The Maquis were a bunch of hipsters that were bored of post scarcity society and decided they wanted to go LARP as farmers. They pulled the same "THIS IS OUR HOME" poo poo despite most of the planets being colonized recently. I think in the show's timeline that some of them even colonized directly adjacent to Cardassian space during or directly after the war with the federation like 10-20 years prior so they were just bored and wanted to pick a fight with someone and go "NUH UH You can't tell me what to do"

Volcott posted:How many torpedoes are in a full spread? Asking for a friend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIGxMENwq1k The nerd explanation is that it depends on the Dispersal Pattern. "Full Spread" means a maximum amount of torpedos for whatever pattern they are using. So "Sierra" is five in a pentagon shape. Sometimes it's 3 in a triangle, sometimes it's 4 in a Square.

popewiles posted:Wouldn't 5 in a pentagon, 3 in a triangle, or 4 in a square be the minimum amount of torpedos for the pattern? This is getting way to into fictional weaponry mechanics but no. "minimum amount for the pattern" is discounting any number of shots that don't actually make the pattern the guns are set to. You can still set your weapons to "PATTERN:Triangle" and only fire one or two torpedos, which would be identical to any other pattern. "Full Spread" means a full pattern of whatever the pre-set pattern is. The shows just don't go into the minutiae of what specific weapons protocols are in effect or who knows it. I assume while Picard is jerking off in his little office most of the day he is reading poo poo like that. This is how I read nerds explaining it last night but it isn't even consistent in the show since sometimes they show a single torpedo splitting into five and the torpedos are completely harmless or unbelievably devastating depending on the plot. Nerds have explained away "Full Spread" meaning 5 different things and torpedos having wildly different effects as "Dispersal Patterns" and "Variable Yields" when those were only ever flashy technobabble to sexy up the show. It's kinda like the evasive maneuver patterns. When Riker doesn't throw in a "Pattern: Riker Delta Five" to show everyone how big his dick is do they just use factory defaults and slowly weave from side to side?

shadow puppet of a posted:But its STD so it will suck and you'll get one of those Afterschool Special type ones where Ensign Daft Punk's growing addiction to Brasso causes a rift between herself and those on the crew that care about them (hint, its everyone on the crew) More like someone is raped and murdered and Ensign Daft Punk is the only suspect. Everyone learns how terrible and lovely they are as they realize they know nothing about a fellow bridge officer and Ensign Daft Punk's family member commits suicide out of penance because Michael's logic flawlessly pins the crime on Ensign Daft Punk. They then get exonerated by something that makes everyone involved look incredibly stupid and Daft Punk either quits Starfleet or is never mentioned again. Throw some cheesecake shots of Burnam in her panties in there somewhere. Maybe in a monologue at a statue about how true evil exists inside all people and you can never truly trust anyone.

Let us English posted:Discovery inspired me to go back and watch In a Mirror Darkly for the first time in a decade. What a steaming pile of poo poo. Not even the TOS fan service could save it. Seriously, nobody can act on that show. Stewart, Brooks, and Mulgrew were all talented actors and Bakula isn't even serviceable. He can do affable dumbfuck from Quantum Leap and that's his entire range. Discovery is rough but I bet it still falls in the top 50% of Star Trek as ranked by season. That one only gets a pass because Archer sounding like someone playing Lex Luthor in a community theater turns the dial closer to "Campy" so people see it as fun rather than poorly acted.

gently caress Chakotay. He had an electronic LSD box to send him on vision quests. At the very least he should have undergone a true journey in the holodeck. They even could have had people mad that it occupied the holodeck for multiple days. The episode writes itself!

Enterprise was a more primitive and uncivilized time. By the time TNG rolls around humans spend 75% of their time reading shakespeare and listening to classical music or jazz and have no reason to concern themselves with jackets and outerwear for hostile climates.

Al Borland Corp. posted:You don't understand because you aren't used to serial television, this is more like a book. These aren't plot holes, these all pay off later. You just aren't sophisticated enough to get it. I had to pull the ripcord on three separate threads in TV/IV (Orville,General Star Trek, Discovery Specific) because the rabid defenders who get furious if you suggest Discovery might not be good got too annoying to read. They got insufferable after the mid season break when everyone generally agrees the show got better and they could be smug that their misunderstood television show had reached the bar of "Hey it's not complete dogshit." The Orville thread was the worst because since it is the competition or the enemy or whatever to these people they would go on huge rants about how awful and terrible the show was while silently weeping in the Discovery thread because nobody understood the grimdark swordfighting scenes enough to appreciate them.

Big Mean Jerk posted:This week on STAR TREK: VOYAGER, the Vidiians make a B’Elanna Split and conclusively prove that Roxann Dawson has no idea how to play a Klingon. I'm not sure it was the actress' fault that she played a klingon so terribly. It was most likely the writers everyone knows were terrible. Klingon = Warrior Race. Proud. Pursue glory and pride to the detriment of everything else. Combative to establish dominance and not be seen as weak. Arrogant, egotistical and obsessed with tradition. Voyager Klingon = Huge bitch with a frustrated and sarcastic baseline who just attacks people constantly because KLINGONS SO ANGRY Martok's wife on DS9 was 1000% better and it had nothing to do with her not being half human. It was the writing.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Sisko's actions in that episode were a proportional and justified response Most of the Maquis were war tourists who were so bored with post-scarcity society that they wanted to roleplay revolutionaries. That's why Eddington was being such a loving nerd about his struggle with Sisko. That Native American planet from TNG was an isolated incident where the people had been there a long time before being moved. Most of the planets had been settled recently in the show's timeline by people that just refused to move to any one of 400,000 empty planets in the galaxy the federation offered to move them to.
