They wound up doing the relay thing in Stargate to try and get around not being able to gate to other galaxies on the regular. Stargates from uninhabited worlds were placed in a row in the space between the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies. http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/McKay/Carter_Intergalactic_Gate_Bridge

Big Mean Jerk posted:Sarek has been recast and will appear on Discovery. There is always more, and it is always worse: Star Trek: Discovery casts Spock’s father, pushes premiere date quote:Discovery will start filming in Toronto next week. However — and this is the other significant development — the series is no longer going to premiere in May as previously announced. This is the second time the show’s debut date has changed. But while certain creative and production issues were a factor when Discovery was originally pushed from February to May, we’re hearing lately the drama is on track under new showrunners Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. So what are the chances that CBS All Access dies before one of its flagship series ever debuts?

While I wish I could communicate my concerns to The Starfleet, I have managed to negotiate the release of my ship and crew by allowing this queen of the cyborgs to wipe all record of their activities from our records and memories. While we are not able to stop this machine today, perhaps one day...in the future, some other brave captain with an even braver crew might be able to finish what we started with some sort of cowboy diplomacy.

I was watching Voyager last night and the episode "Shattered" came on. It's the season 7 episode where Voyager is struck by a temporal anomaly and the ship is split into different time frames with Chakotay as the only one aware of the changes initially. It was better than I remember and a fantastic premise for an episode: a present-day character has to team up with characters both past and future in order to solve the mystery of the anomaly and fix the timeline. Tons of callbacks to previous episodes. Guest stars include Seska, Chaotica, and THE FREAKIN' MACROVIRUS! I start thinking, this is the sort of episode that should have been Voyager's series finale. That's when it hits me, Next Generation already did it. Voyager truly is Diet TNG. All the flavor of TNG, but less fulfilling. To tie this back into food chat: Voyager comes from a food slot, Next Generation comes from the kitchen.

bull3964 posted:That was my point. BBC-A shelled out for Voyager syndication this year. I don't think Voyager was in syndication prior to that since its run ended on Spike in 2010. So, from 2010-2017 it really wasn't airing anywhere, so not much for residuals.  Voyager has been broadcast as part of the All Star Trek block on Heroes & Icons since July of last year.

Yep, it doesn't broadcast everywhere, but it came to my city last year shortly before they started their All Star Trek block. More and more little broadcast channels are starting to pop up with great syndicated content. I've got Heroes & Icons for Star Trek, and even more recently Comet for Stargate SG-1 and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Get yourself a $20 antenna and see what you can pick up!

Jeb! Repetition posted:It would be so confusing if this just happened to be the first episode anyone saw. It's even worse when you think you've already seen every episode of TNG. And then you tune in part-way through this episode. I was  ing through the rest of it.Watching reruns of TNG after it ended and I somehow consistently missed this episode and The First Duty for nearly a decade. An absolute jaw-dropping experience to see new (to me) episodes of TNG in the mid-2000s.

Wheat Loaf posted:Believe an EU novel later explained (because of course) that Macet was Dukat's more liberal-minded identical cousin who grew his facial hair to distinguish himself from him. What's our man Macet been up to in the EU no one might ask? "Macet remained on DS9 to represent Cardassia at Bajor's signing ceremony for admittance into the Federation, but instead witnessed the assassination of the First Minister Shakaar Edon - who it turned out was under control of a Bluegill parasite. A short while later another parasite attempted to take control of Macet." Bluegills are the parasites from Conspiracy. Macet leads a force of Cardassians to blockade the Bajoran sector to prevent the infection from spreading. When the Defiant comes across the blockade Ezri reveals one of her former hosts encountered the Bluegills during an expedition lead by Christopher Pike. Research into the Bluegills was interrupted by Pike's incident that resulted in his beepy chair.

8one6 posted:Goddamn is Measure of a Man a fantastic episode! Get the TNG Blu-rays, there's an extended cut of that episode! Back in the day, as a thank you for the fantastic script, the writer of the episode was sent a VHS copy of the episode containing scenes that got cut to fit broadcast runtime. The producers of the Blu-rays used that copy to find the footage of the cut scenes in their archive, remaster them for HD, and reinsert them back into the episode. Bumps the runtime from 44 minutes to nearly and hour.

MikeJF posted:For a show that's so blatant in being inconsistent with Trek, there are some weirdly deep continuity cuts in Discovery downtimes. Spock's mum liking Alice in Wonderland was established in a one-liner from TAS, of all places. And the dilithium mine was wiped out because the same thing happened to it as the planet from Pen Pals. Inconsistent is the best way to describe it. The writers dove far enough into continuity to get your spoilers mentioned, but somehow not far enough to realize having the captain keep a tribble on his desk next to an open bowl of food is a really stupid idea.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:Confession time: I've binged watched all of TNG, I'm now binging on Voyager, I'm nearly done with S2 and I don't understand why people dislike Voyager. I think it's really really good with interesting characters and stories. It feels like I have seen more unique sets, locations and ideas in the first two seasons than all of TNG put together. It seems a lot less janky than TNG and produced with more polish on a higher budget too. I ain't knocking it for poo poo mind you, I am just surprised at the juxtaposition between the hate it gets and the actual show that it is. This thread was making me expect far worse. Please do not attempt to murder me.  I think one of the reasons for the hate is that it pretty quickly ignores its own premise. Aside from a handful of episodes early on, all talk of power and food rationing goes out the window. Then in later seasons, they're throwing out their "irreplaceable supply of 38" photon torpedoes like candy. Another reason is that while it's a more polished TNG, its best episodes are never quite as good as the best of TNG. Similar to that, bad episodes of TNG tend to be so bad they're good, but bad episodes of Voyager simply tend to be boring. Then you've got episodes like "Author, Author" that start with a phenomenal original premise in the first half, only to become a crappy imitation of "The Measure of a Man" in the second half. And that's Voyager in a nutshell. Great premises, great setups, and great scenarios, but they fail to stick the landings like TNG did more often than not. Voyager is still a good sci-fi show, but you can see the potential for greatness in it that it is never quite able to reach. Fake Edit: Beaten like the Borg every single time they encounter Voyager.

It makes perfect sense your only pilot should also double as your only nurse because those are definitely the two jobs you want one exhausted dude doing double shifts for. There had to have been a transporter clone made of him that he never mentioned. On top of being the ship's best pilot and only nurse, in his free time he's apparently breaking the warp 10 barrier, designing and building shuttlecraft that outperform anything else Starfleet can put out, and creating original multi-episodic holodeck programs from scratch! And to top it all off, he even gets the girl.  VitalSigns posted:Paris never gets tired, he's someone's self-insert.
