Nessus posted:I believe their original plan was for the Ferengi to be the modern-day version of the Klingons as recurring antagonists, but it just didn't all gel well for whatever of a thousand reasons, so they didn't do that. I do think that the Ferengi are (accidentally) the most nuanced alien race Trek ever presents, though. I always kind of wonder how TNG would have turned out if The Battle had aired before The Last Outpost - it's both a much stronger episode and the only time the Ferengi work as a threat. I wonder if the writers would have brought back the Romulans so quickly if they still thought the Ferengi were viable as a recurring enemy, rather than them being completely laughable in their debut.

It'd need more pre-planning than airdates, since The Last Outpost says that's the Federation's first visual contact with them.

Someone please put in the OP that Trek newbies starting out with TOS should not start with The Cage, or at least go in understanding that the first pilot was not actually aired in its entirety. Anyway, here's a little grab-bag of goodies from the previous thread: Get it? GET IT?! PUSSYFOOTING??!?! On why the old Trek comic book art could be hosed up sometimes: Binary Badger posted:Actually part of the blame is alcoholism. Tom Sutton pencilled nearly the entire run of DC's Star Trek (the 1984-1988 Volume 1), which had only reverted to DC because Marvel* had somehow hosed up their TMP based series in Paramount's eyes. Tom was normally a horror comic artist, but looked forward to the chance to branch into sci-fi. Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I still love this bit that MikeJF posted in the GBS trek thread: Sash! posted:"Fight does not go well, Enterprise. We're attempting to withdraw and regroup. Rendevouz at...." Timby posted:So all this talk about the goofy-rear end Star Trek Online ships and how ugly they are reminded me of a quick and dirty Photoshop I made of the JJprise. I generally like the design (I'm a huge fan of the giant gently caress-off nacelles), but I maintain the ship would look about a hundred times better if the "neck" were moved forward. Thoughts?

The_Doctor posted:I wasn't aware they'd said anything about that yet..? e: put the note about The Cage in the OP. Regarding the Ferengi I do half-think that the idea in universe, if not said as much, is that the Vulcans "uplifted" humanity a little -- not a lot, but a significant cultural imprint -- and while it came late enough in the game to not fundamentally change what we would see as "human culture," it did grind the edges off our various forms of stupid bullshit. This does raise some complex ethical questions, however. Nessus fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Jul 3, 2016 |

The old thread is dying, and I think it deserves to die. How many times have you been asked to cover up the crimes of forum mods, and told it was for the good of the website? You are the bravest, most honorable posters I know, and if you're willing the accept corruption at the highest levels, what hope is there for Something Awful?

I wonder what kind of aesthetic they're going to go for. A lot of the more recent Trek aesthetic stuff (Enterprise sets, most of the non-ship JJTrek sets, etc) I really like, I just want the writing and ... seriousness? gravitas? of old-style Trek. I'm not even really averse the the pulse phasers of JJTrek, honestly. And all the shots of Starfleet Command and such were pretty as hell. But those movies totally flailed around with a big dumb tentpole action movie thing.

Some thoughts Sisko fights like Kirk in DS9 season 1. Gates McFadden is friggin gorgeous in First Contact. Nana Visitor is the best part of DS9 season 1. JJ Enterprise isn't really that bad, eagerly looking forward to the JJ Ent-A though. Proper warp nacelles are placed above the saucer section.

All that's known is that it's showing on CBS All Access and aims to try to capture the fun of early Trek.
