Arglebargle III posted:I do think it was a mistake to completely defang the Ferengi in DS9. I thought the take on them in "The Nagus", where they were basically space-mobsters, was the best one. They obviously weren't ever going to be a real threat to the Federation, but they didn't need to swing all the way to "We're ultra-capitalists but we've never done slavery or genocide or war crimes" like later seasons did.

Senor Tron posted:It's a good episode of Voyager because it still causes these debates decades later. I don't really get how Tuvix is a good episode tbh It's an interesting premise so people talk about it, but the last third of the episode is super hosed in an inexplicable "I don't understand why you wrote this" kind of way. Tuvix begging for his life only to have the entire crew (aside from the Doctor) ignore his pleas is, uh, certainly a choice that the writers made. There really needed to be some larger stakes for why Tuvix needed to be split, and at least some members of the crew needed to be more strongly on his side. The episode just needed... something. Because as written, it's pointlessly cold and mean-spirited in a way that I guess Voyager is sometimes, but Trek in general isn't.

dang. Watching the enterprise episode "North Star" and that was pretty fun! The old west theme is very TOS and its a fun little home away from home type thing. I hate how they always cut away before you see the whole future of them though, i think thats a problem with a lot of those things are.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Is that the race that was one big Taliban metaphor (I've never watched Enterprise)? If I recall correctly, Rick Berman had just heard of this obscure little sect called the Taliban and thought the name sounded cool, so he used something similar for some aliens in the show. No actual parallels beyond that. (Then of course about six months later, just before the show premiered, the obscure sect got a lot more famous.)

Ahahaha... I'm mildly tripping on a dissociative atm and I managed to forget that I wasn't watching an ordinary blooper. So when it cut to the other camera and no one was cracking up I totally lost it. E: I guess that's a little spoilery.

I had to watch Nemesis again tonight as a way for a friend to understand STP a bit better. Yeah, watching it after seeing TWoK makes it much worse. Seeing it after a long long binge of DS9 makes it worse. The Scimitar's bridge is obviously DS9 Ops and I can't unsee it.

Continuing TOS- Metamorphosis- Zefram Cochrane can't help but gently caress a space cloud. I guess it's the least he can do since it is making him immortal. At one point the space cloud sets the back of the shuttlecraft on fire but apparently it's fine later? There is a lot of sexist stuff involving the woman that Kirk and Co are trying to get back to the ship, like how she regrets working too much and not having a relationship. I wish there had been more involving Kirk and Cochrane about how much he has missed in the almost two centuries since he disappeared. Not a ton actually happens in this episode. Journey to Babel (rewatch)- I had forgotten the subplot of Sarek getting sick and Spock going back and forth on whether or not he was going to give his father a transfusion. The only thing I really remembered was the main plot involving the ship being followed and delegates to the meeting showing up dead. This is really the first episode that expands on the Federation's political situation. You also have the introduction of the Andorians and Tellarites, although they don't get much screen time. It's still a strong episode. Friday's Child- Another conflict between the Federation and the Klingons over a less developed planet's resources. I feel like the writers occasionally forgot about the established Prime Directive, not that Kirk cared about violating it most of the time. There's a brief subplot of the Klingons luring the Enterprise away from the planet with forged distress calls, but it gets resolved off-screen. Julie Newmar (the original Catwoman from the Batman TV show) makes a guest appearance as the widow of the tribe's chief who has no interest in her newborn baby and it comes off as very awkward when McCoy is having to try and convince her to care about the child.

The Ferengi, Andorians, Orions, renegade Vulcans all seem to have an obsession with T'Pol. It becomes pretty creepy and makes me wonder if someone in the writer's room was indulging us all in their fetish. The only thing that happens more often is Archer getting his dumb rear end captured, which occurs like every third episode.
