This reminds me of an anecdote from a writer on one of the many Trek related interviews I've seen. Gene chewed him out over a script proposal because "you don't know the difference between shields and deflectors!"

At one point Riker comments that a ship's laser weapons "wouldn't even penetrate our navigational deflector." Go ahead and explain to me how that works.

The navflector can divert High Energy photons, radiation, and microparticulates so they're basically strobing the Enterprise D with a CD drive diode.

There are two components to navigational deflectors: the deflector beam (a giant repulsor beam that shoots ahead of the ship) and the deflector shields (lightweight shields that run all the time mainly tuned to physical and radiological dangers).

Deep Space Nine 6x22 "the Valiant." Every one of these Red Squad assholes needs to die horribly by the end of this episode.

Jesus Christ. The scene where they just chant Red Squad over and over again. This is the closest I've come to skipping ahead while watching.

One of the reasons why I shrugged at the Leeroy Jenkins meme was because the Red Squad cadets did pretty much the exact same thing a few years earlier.

Baka-nin posted:I guess that first paragraph explains why the Ferengi kept twitching and snarling like they were on the mother of all sugar rushes. Out of everything odd and dumb in the last outpost that's the part that really convinced me that these guys were a joke. I'm pretty sure it was the first thing they ditched while hastily retooling them, they don't act like that in the Battle do they? That ratlike twitchiness always bugged me. Aron Eisenberg even kept doing for the first few seasons of DS9.

So Gene's Federation future is meant to convince us that peace and love and socialism rock, but the existence of the Ferengi being a power with roughly equivalent tech evidently means that unrestrained capitalism works just fine too.

STB dropped 60% this weekend, which isn't great. That's the worst drop of the three JJTrek films.

Saw Beyond again today, this time with my dad who's a TOS ultra-fan (he liked it). Caught another easter egg; during the Yorktown scene where Sulu meets his family, there's a boarding call for "Stargazer, NCC-2893". Nice little shout out to TNG, even if the timeline's a little wonky. edit; although maybe not, if you assume the Stargazer was a 60 year old POS when Picard took command.

The big thing that seems to get your poo poo moving fast is having lots of different people cooperating, and I imagine the Ferengi would have gotten the same kind of effect the Feds did from having everyone in the Federation. I recall Quark confirmed that in 1947 or so, Ferenginar didn't have warp drive, so they're not drastically behind Earf.

I think it also depends on how you measure progress and what kind of society you want to live in.Big Mean Jerk posted:Saw Beyond again today, this time with my dad who's a TOS ultra-fan (he liked it).

The "aghast at selling tobacco" thing isn't even consistent since Quark had no problem selling weapons to both sides of a bloody conflict.
