Although everyone in Starfleet is like "structural integrity this and structural integrity that", so you'd think having a ship composed of 3 other ships held together with some sort of quick release system seems risky.

Maybe disgusting eel-worms turn into even more repulsive Talaxians when they have a metreon-induced transporter accident. That poor eel-worm!

Hector Beerlioz posted:Active multivector assault mode! That reminds me of one of the funniest things from late-season Voyager; "Computer; Activate the Emergency Command Hologram", complete with dramatic uniform colour change and extra pips materializing on his collar. Which means a Hologram has managed to have a more successful Starfleet career than Harry Kim.

criscodisco posted:B'elanna can gently caress off. She's a goddamn whiner and everyone knows it. Honestly her whole character was "I am a klingon therefore I will be disagreeable about everything to everybody at all times." The fact that any of the other characters seemed to like her let alone get along with her or even have relationships with her was the most unbelievable aspect of the whole drat show e: and that's why the fact that they chose to focus the whole depression episode where they build the first Delta Flyer on her is so frustrating to me, they chose the most unsympathetic character to put through that poo poo so the whole time you're watching you just wish the dumb jerk would kill herself already so everybody else could move on, which is precisely not the message you want to send about how to handle people suffering from depression. Automatic Slim posted:The Great Barrier was supposed to prevent people from leaving the galaxy. Shatner muddled things by putting it around the center of the Galaxy to prevent "God" from leaving. Roddenberry considered Star Trek V apocryphal and the less said the better. V was flawed but ultimately still a decent Star Trek adventure, more enjoyable than at least half the TNG films Tighclops fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Hell, we've had a full Klingon cast member in TNG and he certainly wasn't a compete rear end in a top hat 24-7 to everyone around him.

I think I'm finally starting to like Seven. While she's definitely on the show for T&A, she also seems to be one of three actors who aren't sleep-walking through everything. The Doctor's also pretty great but he isn't really given time to shine in most episodes. I also can't completely hate Neelix because Ethan Philips actually seems to be making a solid effort in most episodes. It's just unfortunate that the character is so loving grating all the time, plus he looks like a hairy scab and no one on the show apparently had any self-awareness regarding how creepy it is for his girlfriend to literally be 3 years old.

Didn't Voyager's nacelles go up and down for some reason? Why was that? How often did they do that? I've seen every episode and I'm totally blanking on these questions.

Texhnobabble reason is that it doesn't damage subspace like normal nacelles do. Real reason is it's a cool gimmick.

No, it's because in TNG they introduced us to the idea that warp speed travel was destroying the universe. It was a heavy handed global warming allegory. Somehow, having the pylons move while going to warp alleviated all that. They really should have forgotten about that TNG episode, because even TNG forget about it after a half a season of "Starfleet has authorized breaking warp limits for this mission".

If you raise your warp nacelles vertically that's called "rolling coalithium" and it does tons of damage to the subspace.

That episode happened in Season 7 of TNG anyway so there wasn't much more than half a season left anyway but yeah there's been at least a couple of interviews where writers basically said "yeah we regretted that decision after like the second time we had to insert a line about the warp 5 limit"

You have a point. The problem with V is that every scene makes a great teaser but doesn't come together as a compelling entirety. The only way to play a Klingon is by having a big personality. Even brooding has to be dramatic (Worf). Find an actor that can chew the scenery and you've got a decent Klingon.

DS9 ep1 went well with the wife. The in touch with your feelings and move on from the past resonated with my wife cause shes all about that. She saw Sisko on stage. I liked it too. Ep2 pretty good too. Lots of costume stuff observations, and she wasn't a fan of major Kiras new do but said it fit the character. But drat Ep3 was brutal. Cheesy as all get out. Im not sure i can convince her to continue the slog (I warned her it starts slow, S1 is the bad one.

E4 is the gibberish disease of bad acting. E5 is Tosk. That is going to be a hard sell to keep hope alive of finishing the season. E6 is Q and Vache auctioning baubles, which isn't that bad as lots of things happen. E7 is the troubles with trills, which at least has a legal framework and Judge Bajudy to make it palatable. E8 is Ray. Oh. Van. Tick. Aaaah. E9 is Allemeraine and the Wadi gambers. You are hosed. Nobody can take that much thespian Bashir and still survive to the last shap. I'd normally not say this, but you need to do some educated episode skipping and get out of S1.
