It's a new thread and it's suddenly topical so I'm going to take the chance to plug the episode of my podcast where we had a Trek author on to talk about the essential episodes of the franchise. UD127: The Essential Star Trek

WickedHate posted:I think it's a normal success/failure ratio for any kind of huge event. Woodstock '99 was some poo poo. Pop culture conventions have just gotten a lot more popular in the past decade or so, so there's more attempts, and thus, more failures. Dashcon was the nadir. If most are run like the one I run gaming at then everything is usually a cluster-gently caress and half the departments get nothing done until the month before the con.

I didn't like ST09 and actively avoided watching Into Darkness after hearing some of the plot stuff from a friend. I saw Beyond today. It's great. I want to go see it again at some point this weekend. Go see it.

Am I the only one who thought the planet sets looked/felt like modern effects updates of TOS sets? I mean that in the best possible way. Like the physical alien structures felt very sci-fi by way of 1960's to me. Edit: \/\/\/\/ Kesper North posted:...

Big Mean Jerk posted:I don't mind it, but it doesn't make much sense. What happens when you build a ship wider than the doors? Suddenly your huge gently caress-off spacedock isn't compatible with the newest ships. Then you just scale up the design and completely rebuild it. Or you hastily reedit old footage to make it seem like that.

MikeJF posted:I really won't mind if the CG looks kinda eh, as long as it's versatile enough to enable storytelling possibilities. It's the writing I'm more concerned with. He produced Dead like Me, which is one of my favorite tv shows, but he also wrote Spirit Folk, Alice, and Retrospect while working on Voyager (where he was a writer, story editor and co-producer for 81 episodes). Now I'm not going to hold all of Voyager against him, but I'm going to be taking a wait and see approach before I sign up for CBS all access.

My fanfic theory is that an English superman turned the French language/accent into a dead language ala Latin during the eugenics wars. By the 24th century only historical scholars, people seriously into their cultural heritage, and Data speak it fluently.

I played Star Trek Ascendancy tonight. It's pretty fun, but you'll need to block out a decent amount of time to play. I really like the way you assemble the galaxy map. I'm glad I picked it up at Gen Con. I'll get some pictures of the game sometime next week.

showbiz_liz posted:A friend of mine has decided to check out Star Trek, having never seen an episode (but being a nerd of the type who will probably really like it). She wants to watch a handful of representative episodes from each series, so no Big Important Formula-Breaking Episodes like Far Beyond the Stars or The Inner Light. I will take this opportunity to shamelessly self promote my podcast's Essential Star Trek episode. We had Trek author Dayton Ward on to discuss the 24 essential hours of Trek across the franchise.

I'm just going to count STD lucky if CBS springs for the budget to build an actual physical set. If the show doesn't have a decent budget I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a green screen suck fest like Sanctuary.

Duckbag posted:Yeah, the end of Season 3/ start of Season 4 is pretty much the exact point when Voyager stopped really trying to be Voyager and became TNG in the Delta Quadrant with lots of flashy gimmicks to keep people watching... WickedHate posted:On the other hand, it's not like trying to be Voyager worked anyway. ^^^^ Rewatch Caretaker. Voyager abandoned its premises in the last 10 minutes of its pilot episode. "Two crews" that are indistinguishable from each other. gently caress, there's no real internal conflict on Voyager after the first season other than the guy spying for Seska.

Rewatching Message in a Bottle. Neelix mentioned that he was brushing up on American cuisine so he would have "marketable job skills" when the ship gets back to Earth. No one has told him about how the Federation works, have they?

I'm cautiously optimistic. Bryan Fuller has made some excellent tv, including Dead Like Me which is one of my favorite shows. On the other hand he was involved with 81 episodes of Voyager. On the other, other hand by most accounts he wasn't given a lot of input on those episodes.

I have TNG on while I work on some things. It took me a few horrible seconds to remember that after Elementary, Dear Data the next episode is the Nutrageous Okona. Season one is bad, but season 2 is wildly uneven.

Kingtheninja posted:I've been trying to find a Sci fi show I could get through while doing other work. Voyager us the only trek I haven't seen more then the first episode of. Is it worth working through or should I just be content watching this thread make fun of it? We make fun of Voyager because it deserves it, but there are some good episodes and most can be considered "Ehh, I'll watch it if it's on" tier. I say go for it.

Dicky mouse posted:Hey do you guys think star trek would be better off as an anthology series? I would love to see that personally. If they all took place in the same era it would also be "relatively" less expensive since the props/costumes would be reusable. Do 3 9-episode series a season, each one on a different ship/station. Hell, you could finally do the "set a show on a Klingon ship" thing without having to commit to an entire broadcast season.

nerdman42 posted:Sometimes I wonder how Deep Space Nine would've gone if the wormhole was never found and Sisko managed to keep the Cardassians at bay, all "frontier" like Bashir puts it. Well, DS9 would have still been the largest (and only I think) space port for Bajor but without the drama/excitement/adventure the wormhole brings it would just end up being the mostly boring office job style posting Starfleet expected it to be. I seriously doubt Bajor would have moved to become a member of the Federation. Starfleet would have run DS9 for maybe 5 years before being asked to leave.
