I feel like if they introduce a Q like character, it should be played by Will Wheaton. The dude can totally play a smarmy arrogant type and it would be perfect.

The only thing I want out of this show is for someone to get called a dick at least once per episode. I didn't realize how much calling someone an rear end in a top hat was missing from Star Trek until this show.

I like this show. It sci fi, its fun, and so far the humor has been subtle and not forced, which is what I feared would be the biggest problem.

Mortanis posted:I have to give them their credit, they really get Trek. Or, at least the process of making Trek. That was basically a TNG episode with the serial numbers filed off and a few dick and tit jokes added in. Brandon Braga directed this episode and is a producer on the show.

I am not saying "I totally saw this coming!!" but I did think it was weird when they said their society was all male, and not that they don't have genders. Like, how did a species with no gender come to have the concept of it and then identify as male?

Isaac is a racist/speciesist whatever you want to call it. He thinks his planet is superior to most the galaxy, not every one (or maybe they do) in a similar way that the Menagerie Aliens think they are better than most species, but tolerate and welcome species as advanced as they are.

What will probably happen is that they will examine it, determine there is one use left, and then use it in a season finale stakes gambit.

lelandjs posted:Nah, there are legitimate concerns to be raised about Family Guy. Usually when someone has a bad or incorrect opinion that's part of the joke (Brian vomiting for thirty seconds straight after learning the woman he slept with was actually Quagmire's dad post-transition is about how, despite all his claims to be an open-minded liberal, he's actually transphobic) but the characters rarely get called out for being wrong, leading less-aware viewers of the show to think they're right in their lovely views. That's also assuming Brian is the voice of reason when he has repeatedly been shown to be a complete and total blowhard that is hypocritical at its core.

I did that with the second episode and ended up missing the best Thursday Night Football game in history. Tonight is supposed to be a good match up so by the rules of TNF, it will probably end up sucking.

precision posted:It's interesting that this show went with "you want a monolithic society, you get a monolithic society". There's no Worfs around here, the teacher hates humans more than ever and doesn't understand why they saved the colony, the Krill are literally people that can't coexist with other life. The Krill seem to be about the same level of technology as the Union, but I wonder if they have tangled with or otherwise view the other much mode advanced species.

Gynovore posted:One time, Nana Visitor fell and sprained an ankle and had to go to the hospital. She still had her nose ridges on, so the doctors thought it was some weird condition. This story doesn't really track for me. Like what doctor looks at a hosed up nose and just assumes its a condition they never heard of. Like someone would have been like, what the gently caress is up with your nose at the very least, mainly because after establishing why you are an ER, the very next thing asked is "do you have any other medical conditions?" And if she answered "no" the appropriate follow up is "what the gently caress is up with your nose then?"

I feel like Star Trek medicine has three specialties. Trauma: because duh Microbiologist: deal with weird alien viruses and bacteria Psychiatrist: for space madness. Everything else is just taken care of by the replicator giving you a pill.

bring back old gbs posted:It only appears that way at first glace. Like aircraft carriers. They are pretty different shapes once you focus on how the curves meet the main ship body. So it appears their warp/quantum/whatever drives function by using those 3 stacked ring structures, if its the big focal points of both vessels Yeah, I took it like how in Star Trek every Federation ship has parallel paired nacelles, but there is still variation on the things those nacelles are attached too. Looks like the Union tech requires the triple arcs to travel.

Cojawfee posted:Eh, there's no reason for celsius to exist. If you're doing science, use Kelvin. If you're checking the temperature outside, use Fahrenheit. Also, most (not all) bad effects of a fever are caused by the rate of change in temperature, not the actual temperature itself (to a point). So to convey urgency, Isaac could have just said that his temp has risen 3 degrees in the last hour, which regadless of the scale we normally use would be an effective way of portraying a dire situation.
