Nazareth posted:Certainly the Ferengi were a poor execution since all I've heard about them were "Space Jews" or whatever crass accusations of anti-Semitism the Internet threw at Roddenberry. It's been argued in previous Trek threads that the Bajorans, Cardassians, Federation, and Ferengi are all Jews In Space in some way. The Klingons could be the ancient Israelites, arguably.

Q_res posted:Actually, there's a pretty good argument to be made that DS9 was actually quite unpopular with the die-hard Trek fans at the time. Because of the "no ship" thing (at the beginning, anyway) and the real loonies who hated it for "betraying Gene's vision". I vaguely recall the no ship thing bothering me, but I can distinctly remember, even though I was a kid, that Sisko's wife was apparently played by some lady they brought in off the street and not a professional actor.

I'm just hoping they got some science fiction writers to produce some unique scripts. I couldn't care less about the character development or interactions between the captain, the doctor, some alien, etc.

Watched the first three movies recently. Forgot how many shots were blatantly re-used. I'm guessing audiences at the time didn't mind, since they didn't have home video. Also, Robin Curtis, Best Saavik.

Argument: The TNG movies were never going to be great because Picard was not a strong enough character to lead a film franchise. Stewart's a fine actor, of course, but the character of John Luck Pickerd was too diplomatic and, quite frankly, frail to take the Enterprise on a big screen adventure.

The Dark One posted:This is pretty much the thread consensus. The movies generally evolve into The Picard And Data Show as they go on. Picard's relationship with Data never seemed like the ideal backbone for a big TNG film series, to me. Picard's political intrigue with Worf ended up having lasting consequences for half the galaxy. Alas, Worf's role in the movies was reduced to background noise and getting shot down and negated again. I don't even remember Worf in Nemesis. I think he drove the dune buggy? This is the guy who set up the leadership of the Klingon empire, then dismantled it (by hand, quite literally), was made king, but turned the job down on principle. Worf's the poo poo, Data's just some guy.

DrNutt posted:Lol. I never watched Voyager because it kept putting me to sleep in the pilot, but I'm giving it another shot. It's hilarious how quickly it does away with any goodwill it started with for its novel setting and blended crew. By episode 3 the crew is pretty much integrated, the a plot is dependent on time travel and you've got Captain Janeway going with the most awful interpretation of the prime directive possible. Sprinkle in some idiotic technobabble and extremely clumsy social commentary. This show is loving dogshit and I'd sooner watch Enterprise again than another minute of this dreck. "Try watching Voyager." "It didn't work!" "Try it again!" ".......Nope, still a bad show!"

Maybe we can run an inverted denim beam through the main deflector and... The denim is multiplying exponentially. At this rate, it will completely consume the Enterprise in... Denim based lifeforms? Could they be sentient?

The most logical explanation is that the humans who drew the Star Trek star charts recalled that Vulcan was said to be roughly 16 light years from Sol and selected a real star close to that distance to serve as Vulcan's star. In the purely fictional universe of Star Trek that isn't crossing over into this one, of course, Jim.

skasion posted:The really daft thing about Musk being namedropped in Disco is not that Musk is a douchebag, although he is; it’s that it directly calls attention to how incoherent Trek’s conception of the development of spaceflight is compared to how spaceflight has developed in actual fact. Like every other attempt to make Trek continue to be a story of our own future, rather than the retrofuture that it actually is, it’s an obvious unforced error in how the writers conceive of the work. Wasn't Khan launched asleep into deep space in 1996 in Star Trek's timeline? Musk is way behind, no cryogenically frozen genetically enhanced dictators on his rockets whatsoever. edit: Looked it up, forgot Khan commandeered the Botany Bay and put himself to sleep. But it was 96.

Comrade Fakename posted:The real answer to “who does all the poo poo jobs in the Federation?” is “robots but the show hasn’t got the budget to show that”.  Data is the worst of them. He's the ringleader, telling them they can be human, organizing them, teaching them to withhold their labor, putting a major dent in our quarterly earnings. Send Section 31 in to bust up the robot unions, assassinate any of those "we've moved beyond the need for money" Federation types, and have death squads mind rape a few nuns while we're at it.

We have begun watching Voyager. Why does Janeway tell convicted criminal Nick Locarno that Tuvok is undercover in the Maquis? Why would you tell a convicted criminal Starfleet intel? That he doesn't even need, he's just a pilot? Why did she tell CHAKOTAY that Tuvok is undercover in his Maquis cell? Why did we need a Neelix bubble bath scene?

Voyager's second and third episodes are both the same subspace distortion causes time paradox thing and dumb rear end Paris needs it explained to him repeatedly. Then he gets shot by a laser gun that looks like a regular gun because they couldn't be bothered to find some laser gun props. I think First Contact was my first theater Trek movie experience. It was loving great, tbh. "Assimilate this." gently caress yeah.

I can't do it. I can't watch every episode of Star Trek. I can't get through the first ten episodes of Voyager. It's just so loving boring. No way in Hell am I doing seven seasons of this poo poo. This will add nothing good to my life. I officially give up.
