DS9 season 1 plods along, but you can't skip it, because it introduces a bunch of characters like Garak who will be important later.

I thought site-to-site transport was something Wesley worked on in TNG. Didn't he write a special program just for that?

I mean, it's gotta be like call forwarding for the transporter, right? You beam someone to your transporter buffer, then beam them to the other location without materialising them first.

I don't regret the existence of Come Along Home or If Wishes Were Horses, I just think they'd have been better used later in the series. You should be popping the "this poo poo is weird and unnatural" later on when we're used to the crew and the situation at hand. Popping them both in the first season doesn't have as much impact because we're not used to what's "normal" yet.

It's twenty years to the day since All Good Things' aired. Yahoo interviewed Moore and Braga about it.quote:Moore: "The first story outline, I think, had four timelines that we were going to go back to. The fourth one, which eventually got dropped from the final teleplay, was revisiting the events of 'The Best of Both Worlds,' when Picard was taken and turned into Locutus. So originally, the finale was going to bounce between those four events. And Michael [Piller], I think, rightly said, 'It's one too many, and we want this to kind of be the beginning, middle, and end of his life.' And that kind of simplified everything, and it became much cleaner and easier to go through it from that angle." quote:Moore: "The great irony of it all is, we spent a year on Generations, and 'All Good Things…,' we wrote in a month. We just plowed through it, banged it out. It did not go through radical changes in the drafts. There were production changes, as always, but it was basically what we wrote, pretty close to the first or second drafts. And it turned out beautifully. It was just one of those things where it all flowed and it all came together, and we were astonished by how much people liked it, how much we liked it, how great the final product was. It exceeded your expectations of what it could be." You also might not expect which element from an early All Good Things draft made its way into  ...

Gunton and Ronny Cox both played against type a litle in TNG. They usually play unabashed jerks, but both of their Star Trek captains are just kinda broken dudes.

Hey, I'm watching that right now, it's pretty amazing. Also, how can you revile Move Along Home and not crucify The Muse? I can watch every episode of DS9 except that one.

Meridian is my favorite DS9 episode. It's a wonderful story of love and loss, with an exceptional ending. And there's a Gamma Quadrant story in there too.

I was too busy making fun of it for being "Space Brigadoon" and the B plot is so much more entertaining. It's also a good example of Quark being a sleazebag, which is good because if there weren't times like this, he would be an unambiguous good guy and everyone would be dicks for treating him the way they do.

I posted about this project I was working on about a year ago here, but my small studio just launched a kickstarter for it today and I'm gonna shamelessly post it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/571735034/icarus-proudbottom-starship-captain If any of you know of Artemis Bridge Simulator, its going to be a bit like that that in a single player experience. Sorta a dialogue driven adventure game and bridge simulator with combat, exploration, puzzle-solving, dialogue trees and all kinda of fun stuff.  ANYWAY, I included this thread's favorite stupid Trek joke at the end of the kickstarter video, so GO FREAKING WATCH IT. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/571735034/icarus-proudbottom-starship-captain A lil history: The first two "Icarus Proudbottom" games (Curse of the Chocolate Fountain & Teaches Typing) were actually for Something Awful Game Dev competitions!

In other words, you made the Trek game I've been waiting for since about 2000?  Jerry the science bird wearing the Spock Helmet is cracking me up so bad it's stupid. But not as stupid as that damned helmet.

Oh gently caress the spock helmet. Looks cool, but to be honest looks like a game I wouldn't play. What is it? Is it like an RPG where I tell them what to do or some sort of top down shooter asteroids something.

There will be a plot that takes place over the whole course of the game, but the game will be made up of 'episodes' or 'missions'. Anyway, our past games have always had a heavy focus on humor! And since over the past few years I've been showing hours upon hours of Trek to my partner (who's also a goon, Polo-Rican) I think I've prepared him enough for this!
