FlamingLiberal posted:It still boggles my mind that they couldn't be bothered to have consistent uniforms either....rather than get a whole new set of the DS9 version uniforms, they had like half TNG ones and half DS9. So lazy. They do it all the time. I remember when the founder signs the peace on DS9, about three years after the first contact costumes came in, there is a shifty looking guy stood in the corner wearing a tng s3 uniform. Also, how long on tnt did it take the extras to get the collar uniforms?

Gammatron 64 posted:I would really like to see what becomes of the Ferengi and Cardassians post DS9. Grand Nagus Zek and later Rom enact a lot of reforms making the Ferengi more progressive and egalitarian - I think it would make sense that a reformed Ferenginar would join the Federation sometime. No you don't. Leeta and Rom have a baby. AFAIK Barak isn't in charge, but a leading light and envoy to the Federation.

You are not far behind me. Imo they should have left behind Janeway with her pants suit, and gone with Captain Hobo. The bitch sold him out to the cops. Series 3 is a slog.

Watched Fury last night. As bad as Trek old people make up can be, they did pretty well with Is Me a. She looked pretty much like crazy, juiced up, flashing Jennifer Lien of mugshot fame.

Iggy had been stuck with Ishka for an extended period of time with her banging on about finance and moisturiser, now these insignificant little trolls are loving him about non-stop. Vorta are bred to be diplomats, but this is a guy at the end of his rope. Its also nice to see other levels of ferengi society.

remusclaw posted:As a regular reader of the Everest thread whenever it pops up in GBS, I was turned onto this great documentary on Netflix called Valley Uprising. It's about three generations of rock climbers in Yosemite and the advances they made and such. The first group treating each formation essentially like mountains and doing tool assisted climbs up them, and the later getting more brazen and athletic until people were just straight up free climbing El Capitan when only a few years prior it was essentially considered impossible to do even with tools over a long period of time. Microbrews climbng the mountain because.. he was in love. He wanted to make love with the mountain.

Astroman posted:Believe me, I want it to be related more than anybody, but I just don't think these guys will give any lip service to canon at all. Remember this series is literally taking place at the same time as The Cage, but you know it will not look at all like the aesthetic of that ship/technology/uniforms. I'll give you the idea that technically The Cage might not be canon because it was never aired, but what Discovery will do is basically retcon The Menagerie out of existence, which effectively erases 4% of the aired episodes of The Original Series, which is not cool. I'm in the UK and we have aired The Cage

Then when they need a salt shaker for 'The Mantrap' they had to steal one from the commisary, so it actually looked like a salt shaker. Also Justman was forever rooting in bins and dumpsters on the lot for set dressing.
