Trast posted:I know that they had a lot of ex Star Trek writers involved. But as for why they started lightening up I am not sure. Richard Dean Anderson probably had lots to do with as Jack kind of evolved from a bitter hard rear end into someone enjoying how weird his job was. The time loop episode was something special. They even actually made effort to evolve Teal'c as a character over time instead of being perpetually broody, and got some good comedy out of him too. He just look so drat satisfied smashing that door back in the guy's face after starting god-knows-how-many loops copping it in the face  .Never mind trying to pitch his own detective show. In-deed!

Yeah a friend of mine clued me in on that a few years ago when he was binging SG1. Amazing how it's almost identical, that lady has some issues with strong short haired blonds triumphing over dark savages in ritual combat.

I'll watch the Stargate Universe episode where they go to a night club or the racist mongolian SG-1 episode before that one.

"Oh you are on the verge of death so you get to show off your ACTING. TALENT." It's like those episodes of TNG or Generations where Brent Spiner obviously wanted to act since his typical character was monotone / flat Or when Tuvok gets to chew the scenery the few times in Voyager when its an alternate version / reality / emotional breakdown

Keiko is a classic "picky eater" personality. I hate those people, they are a narcissistic cancer on every basic social gathering. It all stems from that first episode on TNG where she is an absolute poo poo about trying scalloped potatoes and boasting about how she, in her wisdom, ate the exact same thing every single day of her life.  gently caress you Keiko.

Yeah that one is great but he gets plenty of chances to chew the scenery while being an indignant poo poo about everything. I more meant the Data / Teal'c / Vulcan dude who by design can't act and has rare spurts where a bad actor shows you how bad they actually are. That might have been Daniel "Archaeologist gets super jacked and is dual wielding assault rifle" Jackson Era as well.

The best Stargate episodes are the ones written by the guy who plays Teal'C where somebody kidnaps or murders one of his many hot exes (or sometimes it's his son or Bra'tac) and so he just fucks off on an epic one man revenge mission, single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of enemy jaffa in spite of serious personal injuries (remember that time he literally duct taped two staff weapons together?) until he triumphs on his own or is aided and rescued at the last second by the rest of SG1

Until this post I never realized how many of those episodes there actually were. I liked when they retconned that the zats didn't actually disintegrate people so Teal'C just started grimacing and looking more badass since he could shrug off weapons fire that incapacitated anyone else

By that point he and the rest of SG-1 had been zat'd enough times to build up some serious immunity. e: Or some serious neurological conditions.

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. Why didn't they just launch the bioweapons into a sun somewhere? Or react them with antimatter in deep space or something? "We gotta get rid of this thing" is a weak as poo poo premise for a Trek story.

If the writers had bothered to think of those ways to destroy them it would have just came with some kind of technobabble to justify the script. "Why do we have to use this specific machine to destroy these canisters one a time? There are thousands of stars like 10 minutes away." "Because....there would be a.....subspace explosion that would spread....hazardous tetryon particles that were contaminated with the virus for 5 light years......meaning any ship would have a chance to absorb these toxic particles when refueling or passing through this space, causing a plague.

Neddy Seagoon posted:TNG goes out of its way to show that people can switch departments like they were working for a company, rather than the military, and you even see in All Good Things... that dedicated medical ships exist. LaForge starts off as a console officer on the bridge wearing Red, as does Worf. Hell, even in the JJverse you see Kirk hand over the job of Chief Engineer to Chekov and tell him to put on a red shirt. Sure, but if you're going to take that approach, then Troi should already have known basic poo poo like "what happens to the ship when antimatter containment fails (it blows up and everyone dies)" seeing as she's already a senior officer by that point. Also, if we're still clinging to the not-a-military approach, why are we dicking around with having the enlisted/officer divide? It's just really inconsistent. I honestly wish the writers hadn't made Troi out to be so clueless in that episode; I'm not saying "nuhhh troi shouldn't be in charge", I'm saying "hey if you're not going to have the line/staff officer divide then maybe you should write troi as having more of a clue about how the ship works". How many crises and battles has she already sat through on the bridge? There's still plenty of potential drama and conflict to be had between her and Ro if Troi knew her poo poo.

Medical doctors often receive commissioned officer status. Don't chaplains as well? That's a class thing grafted into military culture.

She doesn't even have to know that much more to be believable. But everyone in the Federation knows "losing antimatter containment" means "BIG BOOM."

One things that's always bothered me in TNG, DS9, and VOY, is people wearing costumes in the Holodeck. It happens all the time...off the top of my head there's the beginning of Generations where they all go to the bridge in their nineteenth century outfits, in DS9 when Julian and O'Brien have their holodeck adventures shooting down Nazis, and in Voyager I think people wear costumes to Fair Haven? Why don't they just use holo-clothes? Even stupider is in an episode of Voyager, Tom is fixing some classic 60's truck or something, and when he goes to the bridge, he's not only still wearing a jumpsuit, but he has grease on him. I understand replicated clothes, though seems silly when stranded in the Delta Quadrant when limited resources...but how is grease still on him when he leaves the holodeck? He replicated grease on his replicated jumpsuit for "authenticity"? Also, the senior staff seemed to have a LOT of time on their, like, basically whenever they want. There's ~150 on Voyager, two holodecks, so in theory each crewman should only have about 2.5 hours a week to spend in there.

They would be wearing holo clothes on top of their jumpsuits though. Unless you want everyone to go onto the holodeck naked. You really want to be in the room with a naked Neelix?
