Just saw Beyond and nearly died of bij when they said the captain of the Franklin was a former MACO and then literally an NX class busted into the movie and surfed away on a cloud of bees I can't even

Gammatron 64 posted:I think mostly I was just overjoyed that Beyond had a coherent plot that was also fairly original and not a complete ripoff of something else. And they had a creative, clever way of beating the bad guys, not just pew pew lasers. Same. They made a passable Star Trek movie with action elements. That's really okay! We need those Enterprise Mine and Doomsday Machine and Juggernaut episodes. They give texture to the really cerebral ones. But you need to have the Trek underpinnings. Into Darkness and Nemesis didn't have that, in my opinion. Beyond did. Or at least it tried.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I don't agree with that assessment at all. Kirk is not a Mary Sue by any stretch; he's repeatedly shown to sometimes fly off the handle before he has all the facts. He also gets beat up all the drat time and sulkily follows bad orders like a teenager when he's outranked

Goblin Craft posted:Different strokes and all, but I checked out of Trek after about season 5 of Voyager You might wanna revisit those last few seasons, I'd say seasons 5 and 6 have the highest quality eps. Which isn't saying much but still. The Equinox two parter is one of the only eps Ron D Moore liked and he felt the entire series should've been like that.

FlamingLiberal posted:It's very interesting that most of the Captains started in theater between Shatner, Stewart, Brooks Beltran was and is a Shakespearean actor too (he teaches workshops to this day) which blew my mind bc I never liked his character My fav story about him with Ray Walston (Boothby): memory alpha ray walston posted:During his appearance on the Star Trek: Voyager episode "In the Flesh", Walston often had trouble with remembering his lines during long one-shot dialogue scenes. However, while the cameraman was changing the film during shooting of the scene in the briefing room, Walston recited a line from Hamlet.

If anyone has any Discovery DVDs or Blurays, do they have Klingon subtitles? I don't mean English subtitles for the Klingons, I mean CBS provided Klingon subtitles for the entire show while it was streaming but I can't find them anywhere and I'm seeing mixed reports online.

Sir Lemming posted:It forces in this distracting element of "we have to figure out what's really going on" which is never a good thing when the answer is "I dunno, space magic?" This is my least favorite plot device, although there are some episodes (Things Past) that manage to pull it off Distant Voices was probs the worst of these, Bashir figured it out halfway through and the episode kept crawling along anyway

Paradoxish posted:I've been rewatching Voyager (for only the second time) as background noise while I work because I hate myself, and I've come to the conclusion that this is by far the darkest, most pessimistic Star Trek. Agreed and I think season 5 especially. I always thought of it as the "horror" season. Starting with Night and ending with Equinox, lots of bleak stuff and people dealing with loss and pain. Course: Oblivion is especially cold.

HD DAD posted:I think there was definitely a set of writers on TNG and VOY that wrote Trek less as “utopian ideals” and more as “Twilight Zone on a starship”. Absolutely, I get that vibe from a lot of episodes. Other spooky Voyager stuff: all the serial killers. I can name four offhand jeez they were up to their eyeballs in psychopaths out there.

SlothfulCobra posted:I guess there's similar problems with the transporter, but that mostly just concerns dumb philosophical nerds as opposed to alienating everyone who cares about their food. Speaking of transports, I watched Tomorrow is Yesterday and I still don't understand why transporting the guys back would erase their memories. Or did they kill one copy of the USAF guys? Also lol at how careful Kirk was with the timeline vs the TNG crew with Cochrane. The TOS crew pulled off this complicated time warp maneuver to erase evidence of themselves, meanwhile Crusher doesn't even bother using Dr. Pulaski's technique on Zefram Cochrane and he drunkenly rants about the Borg to half the galaxy. Even Seven knows that dude saw an Enterprise from the future.

A.o.D. posted:Although I will say TOS Spock was almost perfectly asexual. Sure, he experienced the biological urge of Pon-farr, but he never seemed to pursue a romantic relationship, and was completely uninterested in his arranged marriage except for the fact that it was his duty to complete it. What about the cave lady in All Our Yesterdays? That groovy chick on the trippy spores planet? The Romulan commander in The Enterprise Incident?

Sisko restaurant makes perfect sense. I knew a chef who retired, got bored, and set up a one-man breakfast spot in a closet somewhere on the downtown outskirts. There's been a line out the door every single weekend for years now.

So you might start as the onion guy so you learn how to cut things, etc. Or you take turns, rochambeau, draw up an equitable weekly schedule, etc. Yknow like normal people undertaking a mutual endeavor to make something good.

HIJK posted:One of the perks of being the Sisko is the Bajorean trampoline that he gets to carry with him just in case. The Prophets instructed the Bajoreans on the noble art of trampoline making thousands of years prior just for this moment. Kai Winn has been trying to get her hands on this thing for years. Every time she ovehears a human say "Let's bounce" her eye starts twitching
