Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Oh, gently caress, thank you! Now I get it! I really do! Oh that's easy. You're Enterprise. A young show with potential that it never really fulfills, ending in bitter disappointment and angry fans. In short, a pale imitation of the true classics....like my Chicago Blackhawks, for instance.

Shadeoses posted:Two seasons, that way we can get more borderline good episodes and argue over which season is better. Oddly enough I asked a friend of mine to compile a list like this awhile ago which I still have. I asked for a mix of episodes (mostly good a plus a few of the bad ones) which would generally cover the main plot points so I could watch the series in an abbreviated fashion. He sent me a 53 episode compilation which was more than I wanted and resulted in me just watching the whole series eventually. But hey list!

poo poo, don't call it an art, now Data's looking it up on Wikipedia and writing a custom algorithm which will allow him to play it more good.

None of these non-NYC sports references have any traction for me. But if I were to make a wild guess, watching Voyager is like watching the Mets under Joe Torre. Lots of one-run games that stretch into extra innings with the Mets often losing. For some graphic content, here's a post shamelessly lifted from BSS, original poster Mister Beeg. Nina's Adventures (January 1989)

Berman was on Trek for like, two decades. With that range of time, you're gonna gently caress up here and there. I have no real enmity for Rick Berman. Brannon Braga, on the other hand...

Berman saved Trek from Roddenberry. The problem was he got complacent and tried to make 80s TV in the 90s and didn't realize it didn't work anymore until it was too late.

Braga strikes me as the kind of guy who's governed by his emotions. He does stupid poo poo like "Threshold" or that whole "I'm gonna ruin the end of Enterprise so bad they will pay multiple authors tens of thousands of dollars to write books retconning it out of existence because I'm pissed that Rick likes Manny Coto more than he does me now" thing because it feels like a good idea at the time. And then when he calms down and looks at it with more sober eyes, he realizes what a mistake it was, and apologizes profusely for it. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Nov 2, 2013 |

Many years ago (during Voyager's run) I read that Braga in an interview somewhere said that his fantasy was to use the holodeck to make a gigantic woman whose vagina he could crawl entirely inside of. I don't know if that's true, or a fevered dream because I can't find it. Anyone remember this?

Braga produced the final seasons of 24, and those seasons are all loving amazing. So I think maybe he's just not a guy who should be creating, but just running someone else's show and writing, it's not too bad.

Terra Nova had a great premier, and a great finale and then like 10 episodes of static in between them, punctuated by brief moments life and warmth whenever Stephen Lang, or his crazy-rear end son, or the snarky British doctor appeared on screen.

There's also an argument that maybe Braga's scripts wouldn't be so terrible without the interference of network suits from two different networks.

Braga explains, "'The female body, as a functional instrument, obsesses me'" (55-56). Directly connecting the female body to science fiction, Braga continues, "'My greatest fantasy is to be with the fifty-foot woman from those schmaltzy 1950s sci-fi films. That would be the ultimate: to actually crawl up into a vagina'" (56).
