Automatic Slim posted: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. well, it was more that Paramount had contractually agreed to a set release date, and the head of Paramount was quoted as saying he would sooner send out cans full of blank film than pay out the penalties specified in the contract for missing the release date and TMP came drat close to testing that, because the special effects company they'd originally hired had wasted a huge amount of time and had even worked on some other commercial projects on Paramount's time and equipment. a huge reason that TMP went so staggeringly over budget is because Paramount spent a huge amount of money on massive amounts of overtime as the teams they brought on to replace Robert Abel & Associates basically worked nonstop for a year right up to the movie premiere

I'm 35 and this year I finally truly realized and accepted in my heart that we will never get off this stupid planet and have fun space adventures and the Drake equation is way too generous and the best you can hope for is that we at least figure out how to not kill each other to death before the sun eats earth. Star Trek lied to me.

Either that or she just didn't give a poo poo. "This is my chance to eat Cardassian food. Why aren't they eating it." I do like how Rugal and O'Brian bond over their mutual hatred of Cardies.

DS9 is the island of misfit toys Quark/Nog/Rom - Ferengi that don't act like ferengi and fight against established ferengi power structures Worf - Klingon who has to betray the Klingons Kira - Bajoran who has to betray the Bajorans Odo - Changeling who has to betray the Changelings Garak - Cardassian who has to betray Cardassians Sisko - PTSD soldier/Bajoran jesus, Starfleet officer who has to betray Starfleet Bashir - Genetically engineered freak O'Brien is the only slightly normal dude that's why they have to have episodes where they just torture him. The guy doesn't have anything to betray. He's just Whitey McNodignity.

That's one of the things they do in cults, by the way. They figure out what you care about and then force you to go against your thoughts and feelings as a brainwashing tactic.

Star Trek lied to me. Space isn't an empty vacuum it's a horrible maelstrom of radiation and micro-meteorites and stuff. There's no reason why we would want to go out there. Like if you're in a root cellar in Kansas and there are multiple tornadoes outside, you wouldn't go looking to smell the daisies. The conditions in space are way worse than multiple tornadoes. Like you couldn't just have a bubble around your head in it with just breathable air in it. You'd still die. Space is really loving harsh and inhospitable. I feel like a lot of these exploration narratives about space are based on the idea that it's an empty easily explorable area rather than a bunch of stuff that is actively trying to murder you even between planets and asteroids.

Voyager should have killed off Janeway in episode one and had a junior office be the most senior person left so s/he had to learn to command and run the ship in the middle of loving nowhere. Instead they killed off the first officer i guess big loving deal what does a first office even do apart from have gangbangs in the holosuite/messhall communism bitch fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Aug 12, 2016 |

She's utterly malleable and will become The Janeway of any situation. Which will likely get you killed, but in a way thats forgivable. Keiko on the other hand is just a chore to be around. If she sat down at your table at Quarks she'd knowingly put in the minimum minute and a half of conversation before a big pout comes out and its time to gripe about the time miles wasn't keen on eating a bowl of fricandeau stew or how hard she has it waiting for her next botany excursion to a planet full of starving people.

shadow puppet of a posted:I like Janeway's nuttyness. She really hosed over the entire crew at several points, but she is convinced she is a woman of science and a polished sterling example of Federation Captaincy. Leave her with a fatal disease on an empty planet and she's a monkey-scouting sexless botanist. Wipe her memory and stick her in front of a power transformer and she's your gal down at the dynamo. Actually even the fatal disease sexless botanist phase doomed the crew. She never actually told anyone about the Omega Directive, so as soon as the crew ran in to that poo poo the ship would have been completely disabled while everyone was confused about what was happening while all the computers were locked down requiring the captains omega directive authorization.

ATTENTION CREW: LOST NUCLEAR SUB ON RUSSIAN TERRITORY DIRECTIVE IS NOW ACTIVE The ship will not respond to any control input until the captain turns his special "Lost Nuclear sub on Russian territory directive" key. Wait we left the captain on an uncharted island last year? did he give anyone his key?

Use premise A and mix with premise B and this would make an intense episode withe everyone going wtf? Marry this with Maquis questioning her decisions and her making bad ones with repercussions and that would be one hell of a show. quote:

This week on Voyager Tom Paris decides to go AWOL to defend a stupid space ocean for no adequately explainable reason other than he read jules verne novels as a kid and the guys were being a dick to the ocean. Despite constantly passing hurt / ailing species in all kinds of anguish / torment, dealing with societies that are re-creating the holocaust, nazi aliens, literal nazi aliens Tom Paris decides that this is what he is going to risk his life for. This is what he is going to fire on friendly aliens over. Climate Change.

So I'm finally making my way through some abridged DS9 (using this guide to get just the juicy ones, plus any others who's Netflix description looks interesting: http://www.geek.com/news/star-trek-deep-space-nine-condensed-how-to-watch-the-most-story-driven-trek-1613741/) and I'm laughing at the Season 3 premiere. "Hey, look at this new ship! Has a poo poo ton of guns! In fact...it has too many guns!" (destroys one single Jem'Hadar ship.) "And it even cloaks!" (Jem'Hadar can see right through the cloak.) I know they rebuild it or get another one, but drat, it was a POS in its first outing. A couple runabouts might have been better since then you could have at least had some tactical advantage with multiple vessels.

Like look there's nothing I want more than for man to explore outer space. I'd happily leave my wife and kids to colonize Mars if I just get to be some small part of it. But we're too busy with what celebrities think and we're wasting all our fuel on military patrols and faster trips to grandmas house. Think about the gun control debate for 20 seconds and then try to tell me with a straight face that this horrible species has the mental discipline to even begin (much less complete) a multi-generational trip to alpha centauri.
