Omi-Polari posted:Oh Dune is the best book ever. I'm just saying that I'm lolling. Better yet, make a Foundation miniseries and then have a Dune miniseries follow it, because Dune is basically Frank Herbert spending a few decades of his life arguing that Asimov was wrong in thinking that having future-predicting space wizards being in charge of everything was a good idea. I want a robot Asimov and a cloned Frank Herbert to fight.

Listening to a podcast today and they had a guy who is working on a Trek mobile game where all the series kind of meet up in one place. He said that a weird thing about character likenesses is how at least one actor wanted a "later season" haircut because they didn't like what they had early in the series but didn't have enough pull to demand a change early on.

Rynder posted:i almost wondered why a race of people living by the mob code would be pretty much human but then i remembered that a race of ancient humanoids jizzed on every planet in the galaxy and that's why everyone evolved to be humanoid I find it more interesting that from a single book, they were somehow able to reproduce the English language in its entirety. Same for the planet that was dominated by the Chinese that somehow had an exact copy of the Declaration of Independence, down to the handwriting and signatures, yet for some reason couldn't read it. THAT episode was the worst in all Trek. Also the Rome planet. God, TOS was pure poo poo. The Bible fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Sep 1, 2015 |

The Bible posted:I find it more interesting that from a single book, they were somehow able to reproduce the English language in its entirety. Gangster planet works because it takes itself exactly as seriously as the concept deserves and has some really great performances. Omega Glory doesn't work as a drama or as science fiction, but you can sure remember it and it's because it dispenses with all the pussyfooting around with this Federation and prime directive and proton photon inverse tachyon deflector beam warp converters bullshit and says what Star Trek is actually about, which is "America is the best country. gently caress you. USA USA USA." Roddenberry was really proud of it and you can see why, looking at things from his coked up point of view. Planet Rome is mostly pretty bad but the gladiatorial fight scene is hilarious. The Nazi planet has some zingers but mostly sucks. Cowboy planet sucks and doesn't engage with its setting at all really, it feels like a random script they just decided to shoot on the old west soundstage for shits. Worst episode in TOS has to be The Alternative Factor, which is skullfuckingly boring, terribly written, terribly acted, and makes no sense at all into the bargain.

I've never been able to get into TOS because the generation gap is just too wide. TNG is great. DS9 is great. But I'd rather watch Voyager than TOS. The gap is just too wide. My dad grew up on it, bought the Gold Key comic books with his allowance money and still has the fan newsletters where Roddenberry sold off his production scripts for extra cash. When I watch it with him he's still in awe. TOS was eye-popping and just woah. He's like: "Look at those colors!" It was ... color television! He'll make fun of the cheesy stuff too but it's just a totally different perspective. Before TOS you watched Petticoat Junction or loving Lassie while the B-47s orbited overhead with their bellies full of atomic bombs.

Kitchner posted:Don't forget the literally nazi planet I especially like how Spock stated that the odds of such a planet existing are infinitesimal, yet they pop up constantly and with absolutely no explanation. And we are to believe TOS is the superior Trek. Voyager wasn't great, but we never had to sit through Janeway hamming up tue Preamble of the Constitution to a bunch of Chinese dudes. Threshold would have been the crowning episode of the series had it been a TOS script. The Bible fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Sep 1, 2015 |

TOS is the superior Trek, just by virtue of the fact that every good TNG/DS9/Voyager episode is just a rehash of a TOS episode

Orange Sunshine posted:So, one dead character, 3 characters who basically only care about sex but can't or won't have it with each other. They travel around the galaxy as the captain looks for sex but never gets it. Is a low budget show with only 4 characters, each with the depth of a potato, a good show? No it isn't.

THAT episode was the worst in all Trek. What's so dissapointing about that episode is that it was actually pretty good until the stupid reveal that "this is literally the USA!  " It was such a random plot twist that made less than no sense and had nothing to do with the first half.
