Kitchner posted:He appears as a like 17th century ship captain because he's essentially mocking the crew and wearing uniforms illustrating humanity's awful past. The explorers who killed loads of black people, a captain from WW2, and then as a judge from Earth's post nuclear war tyrannical society. At one point in there Q is wearing something pretty darn close to Ollie North's exact uniform from the Iran-Contra hearing. Which was a current event at the time the episode was being made.

I'm pretty sure the writers wanted to do a full-on allegory for Iran-Contra but were shot down by Gene or his lawyer and it was turned into something else entirely.

the really funny thing about that nonce's shipartment is after all that effort the okudagram buttons are all misaligned and he's using the wrong typefaces its crazy because there are plenty of websites devoted to deconstructing the LCARS design language, and he didn't consult any of them so after all that time and money and molesting it doesn't even look close to authentic

It's supposed to be set after Voyager but it's looks very TOS. So far, apart from one middle aged librarian woman who looks like she's just finished writing"Fifty Shades of Grey" fan fiction, the rest of the female cast are suspiciously hot yet terrible actresses who look like they'd be more in their element getting spit roasted by hirsute men with abnormally large genitailia...rather than shrieking "direct hit sir!" and limply tossing themselves repeatedly across a green screen

doctorfrog posted:I'm probably going to enjoy this more than anyone in this thread, but not as much as I think I will. 15 minute mark, fan wank super ship can shoot through shields, and a real mixed bag of acting ability, and Parker Lewis (who is not terrible)! Emo chick threatens Tuvok (who is into vests now) with a knife. Edward Furlong says "man" and holds out a ship part recognizable as a Zalman heatsink. It's better than NuTrek.

I'd like to see a fanmade production of the Voyager crew attending a sumo basho upon their return home, that sport half the bridge crew followed passionately, remember? You could have Tuvok trying to buy handprints in the Vulcan live long and prosper gesture, Janeway, the eternal scientist, illicitly scanning her favorites with a tricorder to update her personal logs on their body fat composition. Chakotay missing the whole thing while out on his vision quest to buy a pinku bento box for his gohan (rice) and peyote (yakuza speed) Ah yes, that was no mere throwaway vignette desperate to staple some personality onto a profoundly unpersonable crew, big fans of sumo wrestling the crew of Voyager all were.

So I got about 15 minutes into that. The acting is terrible, the production values are worse. I finally gave up after the caradassian stopped mid fight so he could exposition all about emo chick and how her dad is noonien soong and exactly how she feels about it. Is there some kind of time anomaly? Admiral Chekov has to be like 200 years old, and the Klingon ships look even older, while nu-Voyager is all fancy, and the USS Mary Sue has super advanced Quadium Phasers (Do not steal). Tim Russ why? I understand wanting to relive the glory days, but wouldn't you have been more comfortable in the convention circuit? FIND HIM AND KILL HIM

I finally gave up after the caradassian stopped mid fight so he could exposition all about emo chick and how her dad is noonien soong and exactly how she feels about it. The expositional dialog is really shoehorned in, with two hammed fists. Stay long enough for Icheb's discussion with Boobarella the Betazoid and perhaps you'll wonder, like I did, if they just met a week ago or have known each other for a year or more. The femme fatale character is high school drama club bad. I dunno, I like it better than the Axenar one, which was heads talking to invisible interviewers, because we can't get two actors to be in the same room together. e: and now the doctor character is telling her long distance boyfriend (Picardo) her life story, and briefly repeating his to him. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Aug 25, 2015 |

Honestly it's kinda hard to even look at that photo without my eyes rolling out of my head. 17 characters? Really? Is this low budget Enterprise of Thrones? Unless half of them are dead by the end of this pilot/movie someone has no idea how visual media works. Plus including poo poo like a nausicaan captain and a breen ...first officer? I guess. I don't know. I have no clue what role he serves because I don't speak dubstep. It was awkward when everyone had to repeat everything Thotgor said and make it sound natural at the end of DS9, but he had a minor role in maybe 5 episodes. drilldo squirt posted:That sounds terrible, why are you watching that?

Axanar is a Trek Thing shot in war documentary format and it's the best. It doesn't look like the actual feature length version will do the same thing though, unfortunately.
