Some people at work were talking about the shelves where we have the Christmas lights on display for sale, and one of them asked how many of a particular variety of lights were out there, and was told "three." It took all of my willpower to resist shouting, "THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!"

 loving lol The Muse's A(?)-Plot of Jake being creeped on by a weird vampire lady may suck, but Lwaxana & Odo are super good. It was a real good idea giving Lwaxana someone who can just be a friend to her (even though she still wants to bone down).

Apparently that episode was a massive nightmare and they found it really hard to get any of it to work, which is why that A story exists and is...baffling.

Today's Deep Space Nine episode: Captive Pursuit. Another solid entry in the "Hunting the Most Dangerous Game" plots that Star Trek does from time to time. Not a whole lot to say about this one, though I did enjoy the ending with Sisko and O'Brien.

Tonight's episode of Deep Space Nine is one of the few I've actually seen before, "Q-Less," in which Sisko punches Q so hard he ducks out of DS9 for the rest of the series.

I maintain that it worked because Q could sense The Sisko's divine nature and he noped out rather than tangle with gods that might have been his match.

I watched "Future's End" over the weekend and it was one of the limpest two-parters I think I've ever seen. First, you run into the original problem that Janeway was only operating off of a 10 second threat-call. Just like she had no reason to believe this random dude, we the audience have no investment in the concerns of the 29th century. I couldn't possibly care if Earth gets blown up in 500 years, which I guess makes me more Starling than Janeway, but it's really just about the tension and stakes in a drama, which were non-existent. Starling has to be the most annoying villain in Trek. I just can't accept that 29th century tech would be reverse engineerable with 1960s tech. Material science is a field for a reason. There's no manufacturing process for the components, no way to understand them on a digital level. How would he even begin to interface or run a diagnostic on what they do? It's kind of absurd. And yeah I know complaining about tech in Trek is pointless, but come on there has to be a baseline. Then you also have the problem that if they were just a bit smarter, they could have avoided large portions of the plot. Traveling back to 1996 Earth should have been a huge gift to them. Surely they could just do a couple of laps around the solar system at relativistic speeds, carefully avoiding being nearby for First Contact, and then decelerating to join their century. I mean for gently caress's sake, for how often ships get thrown to pre-warp Earth, you'd think the Time Police would specifically set up a relativistic speeds amnesty zone where ships could do just that and everyone would agree to ignore them to preserve the timeline. In any case, I guess this marks the beginning of getting a sweeps two-parter in every season, so hopefully they have a bit more energy going forward.

The only reason anyone remembers that two-parter is Sarah Silverman and the Doctor getting his Mobile Emitter.

A better show would have kept Sarah Silverman around for a while like Farscape did with Chiana. Also Starfleet computers are ridiculously user friendly. I bet 29th century Badgey popped up as soon as he was inside and went "Golly, it looks like we're stuck in the 20th century. Would you like some help bootstrapping the computer revolution?" 8one6 fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Nov 27, 2023 |

You h superior sensors, so you know when there's no Vulcans nearby. Jump to Alpha Centauri, do your time laps there where you're safely away from Earth, and come back. Or, Tom Paris accidentally watches The Final Countdown while in 1996, gets some ideas, and has to be restrained while returning to the future to keep him from trying to obliterate the PRC from orbit and stop WWIII before it starts.

He didn't reverse engineer most of the tech, just enough to get advanced over competition, even on that sort of advanced ship there are probably hits and pieces made in a clunkier fashion just for reliability sake, or simply because they are good enough. Fake edit: have we ever seen evidence that a federation starship can actually reach relativistic speeds without warp field fuckery and the like? I believe it's even a thing with impulse engines that they do stuff to reduce the mass of the ship. Senor Tron fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Nov 27, 2023 |

Agreed 100%. My favorite way to explain this concept: say you go back in time and give Benjamin Franklin an iPad, complete with a solar-panel charger so that he can use it as much as he wants. Would he be able to reverse engineer it and build more of them? Or even deduce any useful principles from it? He could certainly prove it's an electrical device, but beyond that? Not a whole lot. It's basically magic. And as much as he'd love the calculator, the chess app, and the large collection of porn that you stocked it with (naturally), the solar panel would almost certainly be of much more practical use for him. (But he couldn't reverse engineer that either.)

Tonight's DS9 episode was "Dax". Best part was the Bajoran arbiter, she was fun, kind of like a less abrasive Judge Judy. Also, Bashir, bro, she's not into you. Take the hint and drop it. Constantly creeping on her just because she hasn't explicitly told you to gently caress off is a bad look.

Definitely one of the season 1 episodes that makes you say "oh this is why season 1 gets a bad rap". It really wastes a lot of potential for setting up a main character by barely letting her do anything. And Bashir is extremely Early Bashir.

Dax (episode) is an early indication that while the writers had a handle on Dax (symbiont) and Dax (Curzon), they had no loving idea what to do with Dax (Jadzia). She mostly just sits there and does nothing while the episode happens around her.
