What was the episode of TNG where some species that had barely achieved space flight/warp drive and had been hitting the enterprise for several hours with laser weapons and doing basically nothing? Like they were down to 99% shields.

That was when Disney was trying to do their own toys to life thing. With them cancelling their video games division we'll probably see more games and toys for star wars

I though they only used NX (Naval Experiment) numbers for prototype ships after the federation was formed. Shouldn't it have an NCC number?

After The War posted:What's the bar for that? Subscriptions to CBS All Access/number of Netflix viewers in the rest of the world? Before, they could always look at ad revenue or number of stations paying syndication fees - how is "success" measured in the streaming-only world? Well seeing as they will only be airing the series on their online platform they will have an exact number of unique and repeat views.

They are not competing properties. Like a hotdog and a bun, when one does good it makes the other more valuable. Plus both paramount and CBS are publicly traded companies so the revenue/viewer numbers will be public.

Subyng posted:Kind of a strange response. It's not as if sci fi portraying orbital mechanics requires the audience to start doing calculations in their heads. You simply present it to the audience as is. "The ship has no power, we're stuck in orbit Captain" is enough for the audience, for example. Have you ever watched something try to figure out Kerbal space program? The vast majority of people don't understand even basic orbital mechanics. Plus star trek has never cared about scientific orbits. If it helps your sperg just imagine that when inertial dampeners are on you retain the same inertia and velocity you had when you entered orbit so you wouldn't have a vector that has a stable orbit. Please ignore the fact that the shift from inertial dampeners on to off would turn the crew into a puddle.

McSpanky posted:I had the exact same idea! And it totally fits with all those TNG-era visuals of the ship hanging out far closer to a planet than geostationary but not zipping along like the Space Shuttle/ISS. They should be facing retrograde and radial out then which we see like never. But whatever. They probably have impulse engines all over the ship.

Quark was not terribly successful by Ferangi standards. He complains pretty frequently about family that are doing significantly better than him. I think he has a brother who was an arm's dealer and owns a moon. He lets his conscience, care for family (see: Rom), and his like of people get in hit way of making a profit.

I got through 6 episodes of season 3 of Discovery after having skipped season 2 entirely and the latter half of season 1. They seem to be pumping up Burnham and everyone gushes over her and lavishes her with praise but she is probably one of the most selfish, incompetent and unlikable characters I’ve seen in a primary role in a show. Does this get any better because it just begs my suspension of disbelief how she keeps loving off on her own little adventures without telling anyone and suffers no consequences for any of her actions despite being in a military vessel in the ragged and hounded remains of the Federation.

Who the gently caress is writing this show?

Gordon Shumway posted:I somewhat understand skipping some of season 1, but why skip season 2? It's kinda the best one. I saw a clip of Burnham in a angelic suit doing a superhero 3 point landing on the outside of Discovery while millions of tiny drones buzzed about fighting someone around her. It was an absolute clusterfuck of of a shot that just screamed that they were still treating her as some masonic savior figure and had abandoned any pretense of restrained space combat for incredibly busy clusterfucks of effects for the sake of effects.

Boxturret posted:Most of the best episodes of shows either build on things that the show took a long time setting up like character interactions or plot elements, or they stand out because they do something really different and novel in comparison to the rest of the show, so usually the best episodes are the worst to show someone to get them interested. I don’t know, I think the Q episodes stand on their own pretty well in TNG.

It's just mind blowing how poorly paced and thought out this season was, at least for me, only 6 episodes in. 1: The writers gave themselves a new blank slate. They changed the rules of the game so that now the Discovery has a mystery on its hands, where did the Federation go? They find a single bread crumb from the sensor platform guy but encounter new villains in the form of the couriers who desperately want Discovery's dilithium. They could have had a season long epic where they are desperately outclassed by every runabout class ship in the area since their tech is 1k years out of date, but had the most advanced drive tech in the entire galaxy allowing them to escape from danger. Put them in situations where they need to stay put for a time to get the info they need to get closer to finding Starfleet, force them to think cleverly to avoid the higher tech couriers constantly hunting them, and end the season with them arriving at the Starfleet staging point. Instead they encounter someone at the first planet they go to (Earth) who knows exactly where the Federation fleet is and the couriers become of little importance. 2: Imagine you, the writer, have a ship from 1000 years ago showing up at the beleaguered Starfleet staging point. They host a drive tech that needs no dilithium and can travel nearly anywhere instantly. Do you: 1: Have them stay in the safety of the staging point while you research and replicate the drive tech for use in other ships. 2: State in a line or two that you've run detailed scans on the drive and have everything you need to do research into replicating it or 3: immediately send the ship with the only copy of this savior drive tech out on dangerous missions with no explanation as to how you're securing that technology. Obviously 3 of course. What else could it be?
