criscodisco posted:Her race of people carry their babies between their shoulder blades and the baby comes out their butts. They die at 7 and when they meditate they can see sub-atomic particles. Didn't she come back as some insane intra-dimensional space god or something? The only episode I liked was "Year in Hell" where they actually had to deal with stuff like the ship breaking down and dwindling supplies. I feel like the series really lost an opportunity by not showing the ship slowly degrading and facing issues of survivalism. Yeah they threw in some borg tech but it would have been pretty cool if they would have lost a nacelle and then welded on half of a borg cube or something.

Ibogaine posted:A lot of people in the comment section got really, really angry about Beltran, too. It's amazing how many people apparently take this poo poo seriously. It's one thing to have a laugh about space elves and such but I think you could show some appreciation to the fans that made you a millionaire. He never has to work another day in his life and he just says 'gently caress you' to the people who made it possible which seems arrogant and ungrateful. Before Star Trek, Beltran's biggest claim to fame was some direct to video Chuck Norris movie.

I had a revelation about Roddenberry quotes today. They're like Chinese Fortune Cookies so you have to append 'in bed' at the end. We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes. In Bed The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I hope that 'Star Trek' has helped to show us what we can be if we believe in ourselves and our abilities. In Bed A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away. In Bed

To be fair, if you've seen her on any other show you know she really likes to ham it up. Kate has practically made a career out of overacting.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It raised them any time it went to Warp Speed. Presumably because it looked cool. I gave a link to the technical reasons a few pages back if anybody is interested. The retarded part is that they needed to set them horizontal for impulse speeds. Aerodynamics don't come in to play in space so they should just stay vertical at all times.

Well that's what I was getting at. Staying vertical at all times means a fixed position. But it gets worse, in later episodes of Voyager the writers forgot the whole reasoning behind the Variable Geometry Pylon because they STILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO SUBSPACE.

criscodisco posted:I'll take you in that fight because in fact Ezri is the worst looking type of woman. She's got a short boyish haircut and not a bunch of curves so you're walking behind her in Kroger and she's wearing jeans and a t-shirt and you see the haircut then you think "goddamn he's got a loving juicy rear end Jesus Christy" and then she turns to grab some Bisquik and you realize it's not dude and your whole grocery run is ruined. I hope you can appreciate that some people have the exact opposite experience where I'm thinking, "woah, check out that manic pixie dream girl". Then they turn to grab some pigs feet and I'm disappointed and confused about my sexuality because they are revealed to be some twink bear cub. I like Ezri more than Jadzia and found Ezri's characterization more relatable with insecurities compared to Jadzia who was more defined by her sarcasm and her Otaku like obession with Klingon culture.

So I decided to rewatch this episode tonight because I had somehow managed to forget everything about it. S02E06, The Schizoid Man. It's a Data episode where he's possessed by another being yet again. Seriously, he's been possessed so many times that he's a legitimate security risk yet nobody ever bothers to change his brain password. It also features a rare funeral in which they beam the corpse into space. The antagonist seems to be an homage to Roddenberry because while his sole motivation is to hook up with a young blonde, he still manages to perv out on Troi. Overall it's a pretty strange episode because Troi is actually does something useful, which is a rarity. Lt. Selar's presence is fairly odd because there doesn't seem to be any meaningful reason for her to replace Pulaski for most of the episode and I think this is the only episode she's in. Why did Pulaski have to leave and help with some other medical emergency? It doesn't seem to impact the story at all. I'm guessing the actor who plays Pulaski had to take a few days off for some reason so they just tossed in another character so that it wouldn't interrupt the shooting schedule.

Germstore posted:the prophets are a group of homeless people living in the woods bordering the backyard that huff paint all day but seem to know stuff I was thinking about the Prophets a while back and came to the conclusion that they are the ultimate evil in the universe. They manipulated Sisko's dad to make Benjamin and then manipulated events so he would end up on Bajor. This leads me to conclude that they caused the massacre at Wolf 359 to kill Ben's wife so he would be reassigned. They influenced the Cardassians so they would occupy Bajor leading the federation to eventually occupy Deep Space 9. The Prophets are literally responsible for decades of genocide and massacres. Dukat did nothing wrong.

Here's some more recent news about the new Star Trek show. http://arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2016/08/new-trek-series-committed-to-casting-diversity-main-character-wont-be-captain/ 10 years before TOS might mean war with the Romulans? It also says the lead will be an Admiral which gives a BSG vibe. I'm hoping that they don't use the prequel as another excuse for introducing the Borg and instead just make every episode a slow submarine style battle like Star Trek II.

I wrote an unpublished essay after I watched Into Darkness and I justified the recent Trek movies as modern action films and I can appreciate them as such. The TV series stories were mostly ethical dramas, thrillers, horror, or comedies which I appreciate too but I can see why expectations are way off. They really didn't have the budget to make good action TV most of the time and there isn't enough of an audience to make a movie about Quark dressed as a woman.

Triggered posted:Yeah like I said the white supremacist master race made everyone, but all the species that spawned off them are different. Dont the vulkans have their heart near where our livers are or something. Dont klingons have two hearts or am I thinking about space marines? Regardless, you cant just stick a klingon and a human together, it just wouldnt work. Spock is half human, Troi is half human, Tasha Yar has a half-Romulan baby, Worf's son is 1/4 human. Heck, even the Cardassians are making babies with Bajorans. It's all fictional of course and if you go back to the roots of Star Trek in the 60's where mixed race babies were pretty controversial, you see it's more of a social statement of inclusiveness.
