It would be 45 minutes of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjvYiSDJujA The scenery would be so chewed up that there wouldn't be a station left afterwards. Dukat's mind shattering was the best development he could've had. He's had his up and downs before, but like you said, this was the first time he truly lost everything. It explains why he lost his previous devious evil and went pure cartoon supervillian. Plus it gave us Waltz, with is a great episode.

Gammatron 64 posted:IIRC Our Man Bashir almost got them sued by Eon Productions and that's why they never did any more. I think they were politely asked to never do it again. Or should I say, never say never again? If the episode was a direct adaptation of Thunderball they might have been able to get away with it! Proof that IP law is loving absurd. How in the hell would they not have been protected as works of parody?

1st AD posted:It probably would've been, but nobody wants to go through a lawsuit. Eon said "stop that" and Paramount said "lol k" I think they were slightly more culpable because it was a homage and not traditionally parodic. Not that it would have held up in court, but it's a pain in the rear end for cheesy indulgence.

Parody and homage are two sides of the same coin. And really I just want to see what kind of dour grump would see or hear about that episode and say "fire up the lawyers, boys." Like, I get that it wasn't worth Paramount's time or money to fight it, but it was pretty lovely of Eon to broach the subject, which brings me back to IP law is loving ridiculous. We are living in the age of pirates as terrorists and the death of public domain/fair use doctrine.

I thought this episode would be poo poo when I saw that princess eyeing up Wesley, but Worf telling him that Klingon men mainly just duck was brilliant. Now they are chatting and I feel suicide edging closer. Edit: that grumpy lady turned into a yeti! Shoehead fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Dec 13, 2013 |

I can't internet sleuth it up too much but I know there was a big deal on the SA front page eons ago with tons of these. There's one with Worf holding up a "Romulans Defeat Klingons" newspaper that is burned into my mind. Although I still don't know why Worf would be holding up that drat paper. He does look baller in a suit though. Most SA stuff is blocked at work but thankfully GIS gave me a good sneak preview:

Farecoal posted:Not in humans. It was rare, but not unheard of, in humans. In that episode they even talk about having like a whole system to grade how psychic dudes are. Miranda Jones (played by the same chick who played Pulaski and she was FINE in the day) talked to Medusans with her brain and had some telepathy going on, and she was a regular human. Flint used telepathy to control robots, and he was an (immortal) human.

Basically, TOS had a whole 'sometimes humans are telepaths' magic thing that TNG and later ignored in favour of 'aliens are telepaths but they have special brain organs and whatever for that'

Early TOS was pretty obviously a bunch of dudes making up the universe as they went. There's no real consistancy to the rest of Trek canon in there, so just enjoy each episode as it comes!

Janeway had a puppy once. It was a retriever/lab cross. After a couple of days she got tired of it, used the transporter to separate it into one retriever and one lab, and then pretended she never had a puppy.

Oh, and we had some sort of safety fair and we could take a picture of a loved one in and they'd laminate it, so that we could put it on our lanyard with some sort of "I Work Safely Because of:" message. Yeah. Spock and Space-Dog is on mine.
