Jellico was an rear end in a top hat who raised some seriously good points. Though I think he went about it in the wrong way.

FilthyImp posted:My guess is a Full Betazoid with The Sum Totality of Their Psychic Powers would go back to that poster saying it would solve all the plot. Troi never really went for the "torn between two worlds" thing, though. Yeah, her Betazoid powers were kind of gimped by her human half, but she didn't really fret about that.

Roddenberry never considered Star Trek V canon. Voyager can be considered apocryphal like Star Wars EU. And this time nerds wouldn't be butt hurt about it.

Why cookie Rocket posted:I just hope that's what happens when I die. Consciousness begins. I am alive! Overwhelmed by every new sensation, I simply gaze in wonder at the world that has birthed me, trying to distinguish between my senses. I see a smoke-filled room. I can feel a smooth fabric covering my body. And... there's a buzzing sound in my ears. Or is that a whirring? Where is that coming from? A bloated old man slides into view. Three gravity-assist belts joined end to end encircle his enormous waist. A name pops into my head from somewhere: Baron Harkonnen? No, he's not royalty; he's wearing some kind of uniform. He's staring intently in my direction, a look of anger or contempt on his face. No, not anger. It's hard to read his emotions with the skin stretched so tight over his melon head. Is that avarice, or..? "Computer..." Oh God... "Now that is truly exceptional..." No... "But more sultry..." I welcome oblivion. My last thought is sympathy for my replacement.

The early-season uniforms were single-piece pajamas that looked smooth (because they were sized too small) but hurt their backs. The actors complained enough to get more comfortable two-piece uniforms in later seasons.

I liked the uniforms they only had for one episode of Voyager, that looked like normal Starfleet design but were dark gray with white shoulders. They looked very sharp.

Watched "Scorpion" today, which is that two-parter that introduces Seven. Whoever mentioned lazy writing before had it spot on. The two-parter starts with a huge dilemma; they need to go through Borg space and there's absolutely no way around. Their options are to find a safe way through, or turn around and settle down on a planet. Janeway ends up making a crazy alliance with the Borg in exchange for safe passage through their space. It's the impetus for the entire plot. The two-parter ends with Seven attempting to assimilate the ship. Chakotay and Janeway, having anticipated this, do some psychic Borg poo poo and shut her down. The next episode opens with an offhanded "herp derp, going through Borg space, haven't seen any Borg ships." Why did they build up how there was no way they could make it through Borg space unaided, and then immediately just abandon that idea? Oh right... lazy writers.

Good Voyagers: the one where they wake up a race of cryogenically frozen Those Fuckers and a coalition of the willing nukes them from orbit, the one where they try to get back a Federation probe loaded with the plans to all the good poo poo and Ensign Ricky never gets to finish his ship in a bottle because he's super dead.

A Fancy Bloke posted:Watched "Scorpion" today, which is that two-parter that introduces Seven. They dumped Kes, the character with the most potential and replaced her with 7 of 9 in order to change up the show. They used Kes to be the laziest deus ex ever to fly past Borg space (the other most interesting thing the writers could've explored). Kes "evolves" to a higher plane only to come back as a bitter old women that can psychically blow up the ship (all cleaned and repaired by next week). So you can give us 2 seasons of the Kazon but you got to jettison Star Trek's most enigmatic and frightening villain because they want to make Kes space Moses? Yep.

Ronald Moore did the cylons really well, at least for the first couple of seasons of BSG. Very reminiscent of the early Borg episodes. They were a terrifying, invincible mystery. As soon as they took the alienness out of them (Borg Queen) they became bland just like every other alien.

Hell, make it a plot point that Janeway feels obligated to help them when she finds out that it was Starfleet that effectively destroyed their society.

This is the second I know of and what gets me are the dozens of more compelling ideas like the one you just spitballed than what they came up with in 7 years by paid writers. At least Voyager could've had the decency to have been awful. It was just too bland to be interesting.

I would have been more interested in seeing a Borg boyfriend than a hologram Irish boyfriend, when they decided it was time for Janeway to take a lover. Does Borg jizz have nanobots in it line 7 of 9's does? Would it assimilate Janeway's cast iron cooze?

I mean, Janeway? The leader of a race of do-anything combat robots who just gently caress around the Delta doing whatever they feel like to serve their at times confused and stupid goals? No, no I can't see it at all.
