I share a birthday with William Shatner. Right now I'm watching the last episode of TNG Season 4, where Picard declares Gowron the leader of the Klingon Empire and sets off the civil war. Great episode, but drat, the Duras sisters' wardrobe...those have to rate among the all-time terrible fantasy/sci-fi female armor sets. Just a completely unnecessary cleavage hole.

I share a birthday with Avery Brooks. And my actual birth day was the 5th day of filming for Hide and Q. ISN'T IT POSSIBLE, that you can't win them all.

I have some serious doubts about the Starfleet command structure. Worf resigns his commission in order to participate in a civil war in which the Federation has explicitly declined to intervene. Upon leading his side to a decisive victory, he asks Captain Picard for permission to return to duty, which is promptly granted. Huh? Doesn't he have to go before a court martial to be tried for desertion and providing material support to a foreign military against explicit orders? And even if not, how is it possibly within a ship captain's authority to reinstate him, especially as a commissioned officer? This doesn't make any sense at all. With a system like that, Starfleet would have devolved into a series of fiefdoms with each Captain becoming the warlord of his own private army within a few decades. Whatever. "Darmok" is on next. Been waiting for this one.

Drone posted:I have a hard time believing that the Ent-D only holds 1,000 while one of the US Navy's supercarriers holds like 5,000. Since this topic has come up again, I'll repost this tech memo issued by Rick Sternbach from TNG preproduction days:  Interesting to note is that 6500, besides being close to Andrew Probert's original proposal for total crew complement, adds with the ~10,000 figure Sternbach gives to come pretty close to the ~15k emergency evac capacity suggested later on. Fister Roboto posted:There's an episode where Odo, Kira, and Shakaar are in a turbolift that gets sabotaged and they start plummeting down the shaft. I get that there's gravity plating or whatever everywhere to keep people glued to the floor, but who would design an elevator on a space station so that if something goes wrong it starts falling "down"? Unfortunately this also happened in TNG Disaster. lexan posted:I have some serious doubts about the Starfleet command structure.

You do remember that Captain Picard literally gave Wesley Crusher a field commission as a Starfleet officer a couple of years prior to that, right? That basically translates into "yeah, this kid's in Starfleet now on my personal authority."

Giving an enlisted person a field commission as an ensign is certainly not abnormal, but a civilian? And at any rate, that seems a far way off from pardoning a deserter and reinstating him at a commissioned rank above ensign.

He just assumes that 66% of the area of each deck will be available for crew use, and "conservatively" estimates 33% of total ship volume as available for quarters. That's a heck of an assumption.

Just watched ENT "Extinction" Scott Bakula jumping around in frogman makeup and making weird noises ruled. Not much else to say; if you're desperate enough to watch Enterprise you may as well watch this. Best scene is when frog Archer alpha male allows frog Reid to eat a egg filled with worms? Archer has a ridiculous fold of skin on his forehead at the end after ~space dna antivirus technology~ saves the day In summation: is enterprise over yet?

The entire point of resigning his commission is so that he wouldn't have been a deserter. Besides, it's the Federation we're talking about. People probably quit jobs for other opportunities all the time and are welcomed back with open arms. "We're sorry that new direction you wanted to take your life didn't work out for you. C'mon, let's get you back to work and we'll get Jenny in Accounting to give you a few extra replicator credits for some cookies."

People like Reed, Worf, and Picard (especially early on) come in like hardasses and everyone around them is basically going "Jeez, what's this guy's deal? Lighten up brah."

I think there were a lot of things that he did that were really important for that show. Having Troi put on a drat uniform? Give me a break! This is an officer on a ship and she’s running around with her boobs hanging out? I’ll tell you something else that people might not know. Jellico made them take the fish (which was named Livingston) out of the ready room. And here’s a secret: Patrick (Stewart) hated the fish in the ready room. Patrick was always after them to take the fish out of the ready room. His point – and it’s a point well taken – was, “We’re doing a series about the species of the universe, about the dignity of different species, and we have a captured species swimming around in the ready room? That’s immoral.” So he never wanted the fish there. Now, it makes for pretty good production values to have those fish swimming around, so visually I could understand why the producers wanted to do it. So, them having me take the fish out of the ready room was actually sort of a bone they threw to Patrick. Owlbear Camus fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Apr 7, 2014 |
