My ranking so far (Binging through the entire series while high on weed, I’m midway through ENT): TNG = DS9 > VOY > ENT > TOS Still gotta watch DSC and TAS (lmbo) ENT is OK really but I see what y’all mean when you say 9/11 broke their brains. Does it get better in this regard? (Also Voyager is boring but decent and Janeway owns bones gently caress the haters) EDIT: Doctor ratings: The Doctor > Phlox > Bev = Bashir > Bones Flowers For Algeria fucked around with this message at 17:02 on May 28, 2018 |

Archer puts a dude in the airlock and starts venting the oxygen out to extract information from him No one bats a single eye Archer is not (so far) court martialed And in one episode my rating of ENT collapses and it is now below TOS. Will there be a dumb explanation like "oh but the Delphic Expanse is making them insane" or is it just that torture is cool and good in tyool 2153

Today my department manager asked me about the mysterious picture of a woman that I have taped to my window, facing outwards. I explained that it is Lwaxana Troi, a diplomat from the planet Betazed, from Star Trek. He then told me that he actually was watching some Star Trek these days, but only Enterprise, and that he really liked the Vulcan first officer. He’s leaving the department soonish but alas, I’m unable to find a suitable signed poster of Jolene Blalock on eBay to gift him, as they’re entirely too porny.

I've been showing DS9 to my partner-it's her first time watching it. We've finally gotten to the last dozen or so episodes of season 7 and man, her dislike of Gul Dukat is palpable. "I can't even look at him any more, he's a villain! He's so slimy, I hate him!" Yep, he really is. I enjoy her reactions so much. "That's not very Starfleet..." has become a catchphrase of ours, generally when Sisko threatens a Ferengi or goes on a religious fugue or something like that. OTOH she didn't find the baseball episode to be very good

Powered Descent posted:Louise Fletcher was an amazing actor with an almost supernatural ability to make viewers despise her onscreen. (In real life, she couldn't be more different -- the people she worked with had a tendency to gush about how friendly and considerate she always was.) She's really amazing. In 7x18, 'Til Death do us Part, despite the fact that Kai Winn has proven herself to be a despicable character, Fletcher makes her eminently pitiable as she is manipulated by the Pagh Wraiths and Dukat. And then, in 7x19, the whiplash: she learns that her visions came from the Pagh Wraiths, she runs to Kira for advice, and there's this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJQqCQjfO2U "Step down? I don't understand. Why would I do that?" It's so sincere, in just a few seconds you go back to feeling nothing but contempt for her. (Although the scene shows a great manipulative side to Kira as well, look at that poo poo-eating grin as she tells Winn that stepping down is the right thing to do.)

God drat does the tonal shift between seasons 2 and 3 of Enterprise hit hard. The big bumbling wellmeaning oaf and his southern sidekick go on all sorts of wondrous and thought-provoking adventures, then boom 9/11 happens and now they're all "I don't care about T'Pol's human rights claptrap, now I'm putting you in the airlock and suffocating you". hosed up imo.

sweet geek swag posted:Archer went from being a bad captain because he was a nepo baby to being a bad captain for entirely new reasons. I like Archer. Mostly chill dude, just wants to watch water-polo reruns on the TV, crack a cold one and give Porthos a couple of belly scratches. So what he's not Janeway-level competent and he let the dog pee on the sacred tree, who cares? Eventually he's willing to do the grunt-while-chainsawing-the-tree ritual so everything's fine. By season 2 he's got the gist of his job and he's okay at it. I can't get over Trip, though. "Hi, welcome to the Tucker family. I'm Trip and here are my brothers Skab, Chitlins and Glop and my sister Bunt." No thank you.

Yeah well I don't know if it's because I'm desperately linear but I watched the DS9 finale a few weeks ago and I was pretty disappointed at how the pacing is all over the place. Sisko and his alliance's expedition starts more or less at the same time as Winn and Dukat's trip to the Fire caves, but the former lasts several days while the latter feels like it should last a few hours at most. Winn has barely had time to finish her chanting or whatever it is she's doing before Sisko arrives. It's weird as hell.

Yeah, I'm up to season 4 of my own Enterprise rewatch* and while there is some stuff that sucks big time about it such as the early season 3 perpetual anger and the outright shocking episode Damage (the one where they embrace piracy), there is some genuinely good stuff in there. There are entertaining individual episodes of course (Shuttlepod One is good, yeah, so are Carbon Creek or Observer Effect or the one where Trip gets all embarrassed about Phlox's wife hitting on him). But I also find that I like their early candid vibe, they're off to discover strange new worlds despite the naysayers and they make a bunch of friends in the process. I still prefer Voyager over it I think, because Voyager's just timeless. But it's an at least okay show. *okay so it's not a rewatch per se, it's just that it's in the background while I'm at work or playing vidya games but same difference

Speaking of music, I occasionally listen to older TNG and even DS9 episodes while working and it's shocking how much richer the soundtrack is on earlier seasons. It's not just a musical cue here or there, or an ambient mood that occasionally swells for dramatic effect. There's a full-blown orchestra on the drat ship and it does great work. It's such a shame that they cut back on these things.

Facebook Aunt posted:I bet it's really hard to be a rebellious teen in the Federation. What possible fashion choices could be worse than what everyone else wears? You get into klingon opera, the most offensive music you can find, and your parents are pleased that you are exploring other cultures. Seriously, what are you going to do? Start wearing puffy romulan jackets? The EMH's holographic son (v.2) is a pretty good example.

For the past few months I've been going through Ds9, Voyager and now Enterprise with my partner—it's a (third) rewatch for me, but she's seeing them for the first time. I gotta disagree with most criticism of Enterprise ITT. Yeah, Archer's a nepo baby and an oaf, but I can't really blame him for his unpreparedness and cluelessness. It's the whole point of the show! The Vulcans have been telling the humans that they're not ready, and the show demonstrates how they face that fact and eventually start to overcome their preconceptions. Even the fact that many episodes are recylcled scripts from earlier series is fine, because as my partner puts it, "maybe they are, but in universe it's the first time the humans are confronted with poo poo like this and seeing them struggle with it without established procedures makes it interesting." Scott Bakula is great, but mostly because he's got great facial expressions and conveys both amusement and exasperation very well. He hams it up decently enough, which is the only thing I expect from a Starfleet captain. Hard disagree on the "the crew has very little rapport with each other" line too. The gradual buildup of trust between T'Pol and Archer is great. The light ribbing between Archer, Trip and T'Pol, starting mid-season 1, is classic Kirk-Bones-Spock interaction. Phlox is a great big brother to the whole crew. There's decent enough camaraderie between Reed and the other bridge crew. Hoshi and Mayweather are outsiders, to a certain extent, but no more than Uhura or Sulu IMO, or even Troi (whose only significant relationship is with Riker). I don't know where people are coming from when they say that it feels like they all dislike each other, apart from early season 1 and the initial distrust they show towards T'Pol.

Your mistake was to ask a question about verisimilitude in a Star Trek episode. Of course some stuff is going to make no sense at all if you think about it for a moment, but you gotta watch the show with at least a couple of sections of your brain turned off. Otherwise you'll start asking questions like "why the hell would they let Neelix on board" or "where does Porthos go to pee when there's no sacred alien tree nearby" or "why exactly did McCoy consent to be implanted with a mind-control chip on a backwards-rear end theocratic generation ship" (I mean, I know it's because he's a horny old man, but still, Starfleet principles and all that)
