The Axanar case was settled. Axanar claims they're "not paying anything" (already spinning it into a victory), but they admit in the settlement that they crossed copyright lines. They're converting the project into two 15-minute shorts, and making significant changes to the script.

New Axanar is just Tony Todd getting into an argument with a replicator over how spicy his hot wings should be.

FuturePastNow posted:Enterprise actually has a sequel to that episode that's even better. And probably one of the best episodes of Enterprise. Any thoughts as to the best Enterprise episodes to watch? I can't really handle the average Enterprise episode, but I watched a few of the recommended top episodes from the last month of Bij and found them highly enjoyable. I think those were: Babel One/United/The Aenar - great arc Borderland/Cold Station 12/The Augments - also a great arc The Forge/Awakening/Kir’Shara - good arc The In a Mirror, Darkly, episodes, like FuturePastNow mentioned Affliction/Divergence - also good So basically I've listed the Manny Coto arcs? Anything else besides these good? Any more Shran?  Also - I really miss Bij month episode sync watching/chatting.

I got the Enterpirse complete series blu-ray from Best Buy. Dear god they somehow screw-up the stupid booklet that holds all the discs. Some of them have a death grip on the disc. I was afraid I was going to snap some of the disc just trying to get them out. A couple I had to use a pair of pliers to actually pinch the bits together so I could lift the disc out. I ended up filing down the edges on the ones I had difficulty on so the discs come out easier and won't break. it strange since I got Hogan's Heroes and Mork and Mindy in the same kind of packaging and those don't even come close to having the same type of tightness this set had.

The packaging is doing you a favor by not letting you have those season one discs. It's a design feature, I'm sure.

CBS/Paramount themselves put out those new fan film guidelines a while ago (http://www.startrek.com/fan-films) so it may be legally tricky to say "No, you, specifically, can't do anything" when CBS/Paramount already said "If you're going to do something, this is how you can do it" to people in general. CBS/Paramount, at that point, I guess maybe would have to prove that this specific production planned to do things the production knew would negatively affect the brand in a meaningful way.

Pacra posted:Any thoughts as to the best Enterprise episodes to watch? Season 1: The Andorian Incident Shadows of P'Jem These two episodes are kind of a loose arc. Incident also introduces Shran, who you've already seen in the Aenar arc. Like all Jeffrey Combs characters, he's a great addition to the show and he's fun to watch. It also gives you an intro to the shady poo poo ENT-era Vulcans are up to. Season 2: Carbon Creek Minefield First Flight More backstory here. Carbon Creek is a fun no-stakes episode, and one of the first where T'Pol, Trip, and Archer act like friends instead of bitter enemies. Minefield is the only quality Romulan episode of ENT, mostly because you never actually hear or see them. Some decent Trip and Reed moments. First Flight shows the history of the NX program, with Archer telling a The RIght Stuff style tale of hotshot test pilots. It also delves a little more into how much the Vulcans meddled with and delayed the Earth warp program and why Archer and Co are so bitter about it. Season 3: I can't recommend anything from season 3. Not because it's a bad season, but because the entire season is one long arc and none of the episodes are really stand-alones. I'm also of the opinion that the season as a whole was pretty lackluster and, at times, boring as poo poo. It also ends on a wet fart of a finale and spends too much time setting up the terrible Season 4 premiere that hastily tied up the stupid Temporal Cold War arc. My opinion goes against this thread's general consensus though, so YMMV. Shran shows up a couple times and there's some good stuff in the season, but you pretty much have to sit through the whole thing. Season 4: Demons Terra Prime Other than these two, you've basically seen everything worth seeing in season 4. This two-parter is the real Enterprise series finale and it's pretty good. Peter Weller gives a stand-out performance as a Xenophobic terrorist. After that, you'll have seen all the good-to-great Enterprise episodes.

Data's mom. I think he made the right decision not telling her that she's an android because holy poo poo would I be pissed if I found out I was an artificial lifeform with the potential for superhuman physique and near-immortality, but nope sorry your dead husband designed you to be a frail old lady programmed to age and die in a few more decades. Also is there no medical privacy in the future or is this Crusher's horrible medical ethics again. She's totally cool giving out patient medical records without consent because Data's like "trust me I have a good reason"

As a coffee addict I just want to try raktajino.  The closest I can think of would be something like the chicory coffee you get in New Orleans. Coffee with that additional flavour kick.

It makes me think of spice coffee from Dune with that sharp cinnamon bite. Kanar to me reads like one of those too-sweet liqueurs like Drambuie or Southern Comfort.

She's totally cool giving out patient medical records without consent because Data's like "trust me I have a good reason" I recently watched the TNG episode "Survivors", and it's funny now watching as an adult - the away team comes down and sees the elderly couple, Crusher pulls out the tricorder and the old woman is scared, and Crusher is all like "don't worry, I'm just scanning you!" I guess medical consent no longer exists in the Federation.

Still, Trek doctors are basically totally unregulated mad scientists unless the episode has a point to make. McCoy is generally less "Lemme try this experimental poo poo on this child" by way of his grumpiness, and Pulaski is all over the place, but Bashir and Crusher are basically people with medical knowledge who are real life TV doctors. The less said about Stretchyface Jones the better. Unrelated, what's up with John de Lancie's black lipstick in the Q suicide Voyager episode? He's not wearing it in any of the other Voyager ones.
