I picked up all seven seasons of DS9 at an estate sale for $40 yesterday. They also had all seven seasons of Voyager, not too sure about the price. Think it's worth getting, even though I consider Voyager the worst of the franchise?

I saw "Wink of an Eye" on Heroes & Icons last night. Normally, I rag on Season 3 of TOS being low-budget even for a low-budget sci-fi TV show from the 1960s, but I have to say Spock drinking the Scalosian water to accelerate himself was a very nicely-done piece of acting on Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, and Majel Barret's parts.

Powered Descent posted:Indeed. Let's see... excluding time-loop shenanigans (which would mean we'd have to list everyone on the Discovery and Enterprise-D multiple times), and also limiting it to main cast (so no Kai Opaka and no random TOS crew who the writers forgot were dead), here's the list off the top of my head of characters who've died and returned: Worf was twice also (second time was "thrown off second-story railing by man turning into energy being; rebooted by same man turning into energy being.")

Seeing Star Trek '09 was the worst experience I've ever had in a movie theater. No, that's not a knock on the movie's quality. I actually like it. The problem is, my friends and I saw it opening night in IMAX. Theater was packed, so all we could get were front row seats. Bastards stuck me with front row, center seat. I had my neck craned with my head near-90 degrees for the entire length of the movie. I couldn't even read the entire title slide when it appeared. All I could see was a big-rear end "AR TR." But drat did the Kelvin Timeline Constitution look amazing!

I don't know what's more awesome about the full scene; Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Mudd "killing" Scotty with finger-gun phasers, or that Spock actually joined them in imitating the phaser's sound effect.

Both-- it had Spock mention events from the (then-upcoming) Star Trek VI, which was pretty much the 25th anniversary celebration, and Roddenberry died during(?) production of the episode.

I dunno, I'm with the thought that she's a Borg, but instead of having all the Borg hardware forcibly implanted into her body and supplanting some of her natural functions, she got Borg nanoprobes that function about the same as mitochondria do in our bodies. A symbiosis between humanoid flesh and Borg technology. I think I asked in either this or another Star Trek-related thread if there was another race that had cybernetics integrated into their biology like that.

Khanstant posted:Isn't every ship before Discovery explicitly designed to look dorky and goofy as hell? The Nimitz, Walker, and the Cardenas classes all look fine to me. (Hell, I actually like the Cardenas, and I usually hate four-nacelle ships!) The Hoover looks like somebody turned the Millennium Falcon backwards and added an Oberth pod and warp nacelles, though, and the Magee is just lazy. It looks like Doug Drexler just wanted to get out of the office early one Friday, so he slapped that one together and called it a day.

Humerus posted:I guess we've moved on from talking about the wasted potential of the Romulan Star Empire but something that always bothered me about the Romulans and Klingons is that we literally never see conquered species in any capacity. These empires are supposed to be as large as the Federation and we see dozens if not hundreds of species milling around Federation space but the entirety of the Klingon Empire is just Klingons? And you know the Klingons and Romulans don't have a Prime Directive so Sub Commander T'Dick would just land his Bird of Prey on a pre-warp planet and declare himself God and have a bunch of slaves doing the hard work. Star Trek Online had the Gorn, Nausicaans, and Orions as vassal states of the Klingon Empire, and I think the Ferasans are a vassal state, too (which is why those species are playable. No explanation for Joined Trill, Liberated Borg, Cardassians, and Talaxians of all the species in the galaxy, though.) (And yes, I know those four are there only if you shell out real-world money for them. Also, the Pakleds are Starfleet-playable?! Could have sworn the Ocampa were playable. Maybe I'm just confusing that with that crappy Star Trek: The Roleplaying Game.)

Since I'm a bit late for the Enterprise-F and -J chat: There is nothing wrong with the Odyssey class (the Enterprise-F), save for the fact that I don't feel like buying one or playing the loot box lottery in STO. The Universe class (the Enterprise-J) really is two miles long, per Doug Drexler. As an aside, the game's developers had to redesign one mission because five people decided to fly through one small bottleneck at the same time. (They were all in Universes.)

It's not unexpected; the Kelvin did get enough scans of the Narada for Kelvin Timeline Starfleet to say "Holy poo poo! We need to make bigger ships than the Einstein and Freedom classes if the Romulans have ships like that!!" (STO calls it the Einstein class, which I like better than "Kelvin-type," so that's what I'm calling it) and so we have the Kelvin Timeline Constitution. (And the Armstrong, and the Newton, and the Mayflower, and the Aegis, which I honestly would pay money for if it ever got added to STO.) What is dumb as poo poo is the Vengeance class being literally twice as big as the Kelvin Constitution, and the giant V-shaped notch in the Vengeance's saucer. Also, if you want ugly ships, look at some of the 26th century ships from STO. The Nautilus looks like a Universe and an Olympic mated, then crossed with a pizza wheel, the Sagittarius is a four-nacelled smaller Universe (I think it's ugly because four nacelles), and the Paladin looks like a slightly-off hybrid of the Universe and the Akira. (The Theseus kinda looks like a flatter Sovereign/Universe hybrid, which... isn't *that* bad, actually.)

Snow Cone Capone posted:All you jerks posting ship names without ship photos make me want to Odo grunt Pah. Anyway, most of the ships I mentioned in my last post. The Einstein class (or Kelvin-type, depending on who you ask) The Freedom class (USS Franklin, NX-324) The Kelvin Timeline Constitution class (USS Enterprise, NCC-1701) The Armstrong class (USS Armstrong, NCC-1769) The Mayflower class (USS Mayflower, NCC-1621), and sorry for the quality of that picture, that's the best picture Memory Alpha has. The Newton class (USS Newton, NCC-1727) The Aegis class (USS Aegis, NX-1787) from Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Vengeance class (USS Vengeance), and I don't care if it's canonically called the Dreadnought class, STO calls it the Vengeance, so that's what I'm gonna call it. The Nautilus class 26c. Science Vessel The Theseus class 26c. Escort The Sagittarius class 26c. Cruiser The Paladin class 26c. Battlecruiser That is a lot of ships.

It's probably that little white bump on the dorsal view, near the aft end of the stern section. (And, uh, I apologize for the 26c. ship images, I didn't think they were going to be that transparent as far as reading the text.)

Ranger, Akira, Paladin Gemini, Constellation, Sagittarius Daedalus, Olympic, Nautilus I'm stuck on what's between the Perseus and the Theseus classes. Maybe the Intrepid??? There's also the Atlas class Prototype Dreadnought Cruiser which... doesn't seem to have a 24/25c. or even a 26c. equivalent? (I know jack about the Valkis and the Durgath because I don't have any Romulan or Klingon characters, so can't help there. But the Valkis looks awesome, at least!)

The Wrath of Khan uniforms (as STO calls them, I prefer "Maroon Monster") are up there with the First Contact uniforms for my favorite Starfleet uniforms. I do love the Enterprise-era uniforms and the Discovery-era uniforms (but putting the rank pips on the DSC Starfleet delta was a silly move and I would have preferred wrist-level rank stripes like on TOS.)

That Constitution Refit looks like a Star Trek ship as designed by somebody who's never seen a single episode of Star Trek, and had to make the ship based entirely on a verbal description of some drunk who saw it in college twenty years ago. Also sweet Jesus those... things are hideous.
