MikeJF posted:All new effects from S3 on (BoBW excepted) were with the four-foot model they constructed between 2 and 3, so that would've been brand new. I'm pretty sure they started using the four-footer midway through the third season.

My co-worker thinks Enterprise is the best series because Archer took names and kicked rear end, while Deep Space Nine was incredibly boring, nothing ever happened, and Sisko's actor was the world's biggest overactor. I'm experiencing this feeling, I can't quite put into words...

At that point I'm pretty sure that was one of three possible outcomes, the other two being "the Federation orders Starfleet to not intervene as the Cardassian fleet annihilates every last Maquis colony" and "the Cardassians declare war on the Federation".

The Sisko walked into the Federation president's office and stared him down, silently, while shaving his head and forcing a goatee to sprout. The president agreed The Sisko can do whatever he wants.

Makes you wonder why the Maquis don't just hit all their own worlds with "lethal to cardassians harmless to humans" chemical agents.

Huh? I know we all have different favourites and dislikes but taking names and kicking rear end? Did he actually watch the show? Archer had his arse handed to him multiple times*, and he also gets slapped around diplomatically and his ship kept getting shredded. *My personal favourite Archer moment is in the Vulcan monastery episode. The Andorians beat him to a pulp not once but twice, and he still sides with them over the Vulcans at the end of the episode. Baka-nin fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Aug 10, 2016 |

Maybe one day there will be some sort of captain who can fight his way out of any situation. Maybe later there will be a captain who can coolly handle intense situations. Who knows, maybe even a black one. Perhaps there could even be a lady captain in the distant future. In any case, I'll just have to make things up as I go along as I am the first captain to make it out this far and there aren't really any rules or established policies as of yet.

My favorite captain is the one I rolled on the life path system for Fasa's Star Trek RPG. He had like 8 tours of duty, did poorly on all of them, and obviously only got his command because of blackmail or a relative in the Admiralty.

He doesn't HATE the Vulcans in general, but he's got a huge amount of pent up angst over the idea that they held back humanity, especially his father. Dude is just looking for excuses to stick it to the green bloods and when it turns out they're straight up lying AND breaking a treaty, their hypocrisy is just too delicious. Also, it was Jeffrey Combs which means siding with him is a given.

Threadmasters, perhaps you can tell me about this game I saw someone play in my school library's mac around 1994. It was a top-down StarTrek, with either the TOSprise or Galaxyprise, in kind of a faux 3D gourad shading color. Warped around, dropped people off at planets, used phasers or torps. Can't for the life of me remember a name though.

I think The Outrageous Okona is the second worst episode of TNG. But unlike the worst episode, Code of Honor, it has some redeeming value and you should watch it once. Edit: Actually shades of grey might be worse too. Ogmius815 fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Aug 10, 2016 |

Didn't David Bowie's wife give Kirk a drag from a cigarillo in Star Trek 6? I mean, it might have been cannabis or the ashes of expired prisoners, but it certainly seemed like tobacco. Also, the bridge simulator in TWOK had no smoking signs.
