Blistex posted:If you are up for some cringe-comedy, watch Trekkies! It's one of those movies where you have to pause and take a sympathy-embarrassment break every 10 minutes. Denise Crosby is the "tour guide" and her and Brent Spiner looking at fan art in her garage is hilarious. The main nerd dude they focused on in that documentary, the one who lived at home and made Battlestar Galactica CGI models, he actually ended up fairly normal. He eventually parlayed all that time in his bedroom on the computer into being one of the lead FX guys on the new BSG series.

Best looking phasers are the tos and movie pistols. They actually have a trigger.

There's a cool doc on netflix called trouble on the bridge or something like that about creating tng and how lovely everything was. Only an hour and very entertaining.

TNG phasers are cool because they take something thats actually rather natural feeling to shoot (pistol) and turn it into a 1980s IR remote which are always garbage

The best introduction to the long, depressing slog toward death for a child is giving them an O'Brien "Action" figure. Now with nagging wife and shoulder dislocation action. Press the button for PTSD war flash backs. Fat Shat Sings fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Jun 9, 2016 |

When they conceived of the Borg, it was supposed to be those bugs, which is why they said at the end that the bugs had sent a message back to the Delta Quadrant. The first whiff of the Borg was in the episode after explody head. You met the Romulans, thawed a bunch of 20th century primitives. The last 2 episodes of the season made up for the rest of the dreck.

how are the bugs more expensive than the borg? Wasn't it basically the gauold or whatever from stargate? THIS STARFLEET DUDE HAS AN ALIEN INSIDE OF HIM!?! doesn't seem like it would take much in the way of SFX.

I think it had to do something with needing a whole bunch of puppets. Also yes having an Obrien action figure did suck, and being the little bratty bastard I was I made it very clear how wrong my relatives were. Well except for my Cousins at the time husband to be. Who got me this because he knew my Aunts and Uncles were wrong.  Which would lead to me getting all but two of the micromachine sets and half the action fleet.

I mean yeah I got that, but seems like you could just shoot it once and reuse it for refreshers but just show normal people (ACTUALLY ALIEN GUYS  ) and avoid having to do the effects pretty easy, but that would probably violate the prime directive of not having continuity between episodes/commercial breaks

Red Squad are still loving idiots but to be fair Jake's reasoning in talking them down from a suicide mission was literally "Look guys, You know who my daddy is right? My daddy is a pretty awesome guy and not even HE would try and do this mission. Why do you think you can do something that my daddy can't?" I'd probably try and spite that little poo poo too.

Daily reminder that Sisko would go on vacation to brutally murder crustaceans, in a universe were they'd also achieved sentence, travelling light years for the chance to rip out their spines by the thousand. Nightly. If you were to ask him about it he'd tell you those were the times he was happiest.

My favorite is where Spock gets a giant clone of himself created and mind melds with it so they share the same memories. It was really wired. Walter Koenig decided not to take part in TAS so that's why they had some silent Red Skull dude sitting in his chair.

I thought they announced that none of it is canon except JJ Trek since it's an alternate universe, because I remember thinking "that means Picard never got to fingerbang Famke Janssen", and then feeling sad for him.

There was also that episode where they summoned Satan onto the bridge. Kind of seems like a security risk. They should've done that in the brig or shuttle bay.
