this is probably old to a lot of you, but here is a very long and satisfying interview where ron d. moore bitches about voyager http://www.lcarscom.net/rdm1000118.htm (i didn't realize ron moore was involved at trek at all, let alone super involved? somehow i've missed his name in the credits every time, even though i recognize brannon braga's name).

yeah moore pretty much made voyager then they told him to gently caress off and thats why everything after the first few eps completely ignores the concept of them being resourced starved and isolated

quote:How many space anomalies of the week can you really stomach? How many time paradoxes can you do? When I was studying the show, getting ready to work on it, I was watching the episodes, and the technobabble was just enervating; it was just soul sapping. Vast chunks of scenes would go by, and I had no idea what was going on. I write this stuff; I live this stuff. I do know the difference between the shields and the deflectors, and the ODN conduits and plasma tubes. If I can’t tell what’s going on, I know the audience has no idea what’s going on. Everyone will say the same thing. From the top down, you bring up this point, and everybody will say, ‘I am the biggest opponent of techno-babble. I hate technobabble. I am the one who is always saying, less technobabble.’ They all say that. None of them do it. I’ve always felt that you never impress the audience. The audience doesn’t sit there and go, ‘God drat, they know science. That is really cool. Look how they figured that out. Hey Edna! Come here. You want to see how Chakotay is going to figure this out. He’s onto this thing with the quantum tech particles; it’s really interesting. I don’t know how he is going to do it, but he is going to reroute something. Oh my God, he found the anti-protons!’ Who cares? Nobody watches STAR TREK for those scenes. The actors hate those scenes; the directors hate those scenes; and the writers hate those scenes. But it’s the easiest card to go to. It’s a lot easier to tech your way out of a situation than to really think your way out of a situation, or make it dramatic, or make the characters go through some kind of decision or crisis. It’s a lot easier if you can just plant one of them at a console and start banging on the thing, and flash some Okudagrams, and then come up with the magic solution that is going to make all this week’s problems go away.

i like this HardSciFiMovies idea; ima write my own "a texas-sized asteroid is detected, mere weeks from hitting earth. there is nothing that can be done about it." "an alien invasion fleet appears in orbit. they launch relativistic kinetic weapons and everyone is instantly killed." "an ancient egyptian artifact is discovered, along with a tablet saying that it can transport people to other worlds. the artifact and tablet are placed in a museum." "an artificial intelligence is developed by the military. it takes over command&control. troop deployment efficiency is raised by 6 percent." "a spacecraft is pulled into a wormhole. it is immediately destroyed by tidal forces." "a multi-billion dollar machine is constructed to facilitate time travel. a single photon is sent back in time three nanoseconds. 20 years later, the head researcher wins the nobel prize in physics" "a powerful alien radio signal is intercepted by SETI. due to data compression it appears as white noise and is discarded" "after losing contact with a planetary colony, a platoon of space marines is sent on a rescue mission. upon arriving, they find that a frozen valve on an oxygen tank has caused catastrophic failure of the life support. they feel silly for bringing guns." "an alien microbe is discovered on europa after an astronaut accidentally drinks a water sample. the astronaut is fine but reports that the water did not taste good" "a secret government project causes the earth's core to stop spinning. a plan to use nuclear bombs to restart the spin is rejected due to conservation of angular momentum. the only people who notice are orienteering purists who still use magnetic compasses." "an explorer enters an ancient tomb full of booby traps. none of the traps are still functional but they still constitute a priceless archaeological find." "a black hat hacker manages to compromise the electonic systems of a target's vehicle. they annoy the target by messing with the volume of their radio and flashing the 'check engine' light on and off. they then post about it on 4chan." "a criminal organization steals a top-secret prototype laser weapon. they have no way of obtaining the chemicals required to fire it, and no platform to mount it on, so they strip it down and sell the parts on the black market." "a genetically-enhanced supersoldier is created. the increased metabolic output required for his abilities requires him to eat a full meal every half an hour. this is determined to be unfeasible for combat and the program's funding is cut." "a genius billionaire invents a powered exoskeleton and a tiny nuclear reactor capable of outputting gigawatts of power. upon activation the reactor instantly vaporizes because there's no way it can dissipate that much heat." "SETI receives an extraterrestrial signal with instructions on how to build a machine of unknown purpose. we are unable to build it." "for some reason there is a computer terminal set up directly in the path of a high-powered laser. an employee reports this to health&safety and the computer is moved." "an experimental artificially-intelligent drone is struck by lightning during a mission over enemy territory. it subsequently crashes and is reverse-engineered by the iranian military." "the computer systems on an old soviet defense satellite begin to fail. it is in geosynchronous orbit so nothing can be done about it."

humanity builds a spaceship with a giant bomb to relight the sun. since there is no need for a human crew, the ship is entirely automated. it successfully completes its mission without incident. a baby predatory alien gets loose on a spacecraft. without a food source it is unable to grow, and is quickly caught and killed by the ship's cat. a zombie virus is created that can spread via audio waves through the phone network. it is stopped by a firmware upgrade.
