Sten Freak posted:Watched the DS9 episode last night where Bashir and O'Brien are destroying that bioweapon and the aliens try to kill them then convince the DS9 crew that the two of them are dead. Pretty drat good. Quark's toast to them was classic Quark. He's my favorite character on the show at this point. I laughed my rear end off the first time I saw that Trek rarely makes me laugh unless it's unintentional.

I just learned that in Voyager at least they number decks from top to bottom so apparently the bottom deck is 15 which seems kinda weird to me but I'm not space adventurer

When O'Brian realizes the depth of how little his wife really knows him it's just sublime. One of the best O'Brian faces right before the credits. Goddamn the writers hated that dude.

That Scotty/Uhura cringe relationship in Star Trek V was so weird. What did it add to the film? Uhura could do so much better than that old duffer.

Watching the episode where Belana is stuck on a planet as the muse of a poet and it's actually a pretty good idea for a story. I mean "THIS IS A GREEK TRAGEDY" isn't novel or or anything but its done pretty well I think.

Janeway seems to really go off the deep end toward the end of Season 4. The Demon planet creates copies of Kim and Paris and when the ship gets stuck she starts firing phasers into a scared, just gained sentience lifeform, repeatedly while the Harry copy begs and pleads in pain for her to stop while she keeps going to strongarm an infant life form into giving up. Then she meets a guy who is really pissed off because her deal with the borg caused the death of entire civilizations and she doesn't even pause for a second and is like "Sorry you feel that way bro but gently caress you" Then they get into an area of space with no stars and she creepily hides in her quarters in a corner, refuses to come out, tries to commit suicide and has the entire crew refusing to follow her orders because she is ordering them to let her commit suicide.

You can tell the writer of that episode definitely half-paid attention during the week they read Aristotle's Poetics and had the work poorly explained to them by an English professor who doesn't know Ancient Greek, yeah. e: I showed those scenes to my Greek professor (one of those guys who has a PhD in two different fields) during my Aristotle seminar and he loved it in a "so bad it's good" way

Met posted:I just watched those. I don't recall her trying to commit suicide though. Earlier in the episode Tuvok tells Chakotay that in the past she almost killed herself completing a mission that she ordered some ensigns to complete because they got injured. So they plan ahead for her being crazy. She then comes to the bridge and tries to send them through a wormhole while she stays behind in a shuttle to close it (with a hostile ship that is trying to kill them left behind with her, alone in a hostile region of toxic space) and they refuse to let her do it despite her ordering them to. She didn't outright say "I order you to let me commit suicide" but that's what it was. Not quite as blatant as Neelix trying to beam himself into space though.

I was watching the one where she found like 3 poo poo bag nerd ensigns on her poo poo who were totally just chillin' and not getting eaten by borg and poo poo, and decided they should go on a mission together. poo poo got crazy and the Delta Flyer was hosed up. I fell asleep but I'm going to guess maybe one or all 3 died and were true heroes, or maybe they all came back and were great ensigns and janeway said they'd be on the bridge and every away mission and then were forgotten. Anyhow I was sitting looking at some dope SA threads and there were like these fake tuvok and janeways talking to some aliens and they kept talking about growing up in a corn field in indiana or something, and I was like whoa I grew up in a cornfield in indiana too and I was like really disappointed that I didn't get to go to space in my lifetime and I'll just die miserable and alone

TMP has the crew assemble in a big cargo bay a third of the way through the movie so they can watch clips of the first third of the movie on a big screen ugh. I can't be bothered with it, I liked the bit with the Spock replacement getting turned inside out but all the slooooow majestic shots of the Enterprise and the intense chemistry between the bald wifie and the man leaves me cold. Plus he's a paedophile in 2016

They tried to mix the art and wonder if 2001 A Space Odyssey with the fun of Star Wars. It didn't quite work. Also, Paramount rushed release and a lot of sfx the could've been tightened and were too long or unfinished. TMP is most 'Trek' of the films but people want to see action/adventure at the theater not space probes trying to evolve into higher life forms. TMP would be a complete disaster without Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack. I don't think there's another movie outside of musicals that depend on music this much except maybe 2001. Slow down the part where Spock mind melds with giant Illia and it basically spoils the VGer reveal. There's a scene where Spock nerve pinches a crew member. Didn't have to, could've pulled rank on the guy but they just had give the fans their fan service. Automatic Slim fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Aug 12, 2016 |

I read somewhere how Seventh Heaven and Cosby Show actors stopped getting royalties because no one will air those shows anymore. Not as bad as being violated by a beloved tv institution, but a lot of actors were put in difficult financial circumstances because their tv fathers do horrible things to people.
