Just finished my annual DS9 binge and goddamnit why do I always feel depressed when it's over. The show is like a warm, safe, happy space for me. Can't wait for the documentary.

Duckbag posted:It's pretty bad, honestly. Sisko punching Q is hilarious though. Q was a completely different character. He's supposed to be omnipotent; in TNG if you try to gently caress with him he freeze-dries you, or feeds you to the Borg, or shrinks you into a little puffball and blows you away, or makes you disappear, or brings in some Napoleonic pig-things to stab you. Or changes history so your whole loving civilization never even existed. But now I guess he's just the Federation's obnoxious neighbor who picks a fight then cries like a bitch when you punch him, or shows up to complain about his woman problems and beg for sex. Okay.

Lord Hydronium posted:It wasn't actually show on-screen, but in one of the more ridiculous seasons of 24 some terrorists stole a nuke in Iowa and then hid out in the mountains. Of Iowa. In the season where they were in NY, they drove a nuke in a truck on the Wantagh Parkway. Anyone from Long Island knows you can't take a truck on the Wantagh! Ha! ....okay how about this one. In the most historically accurate movie ever, Pearl Harbor, they're flying out of Roosevelt Field (then known as Mitchell Field) which is roughly in the middle of Long Island. Cue a shot of planes on a beach surrounded by mountains.

Trip report: DS9 season 1, episode 6 "Q-Less"VitalSigns posted:Q was a completely different character. This isn't far from the truth. I think Q and Vash have the exact same conversation with him begging her to stay with him like five times. If the last episode was a cheap knockoff of "The Hunted," this one was an even cheaper knockoff of "All Good Things" where Q smugly gloats as he drops hints that no one gets while they're trying to figure out Bad Thing. The smug gloating is fine enough but, through no fault of DeLancie, both Q and this episode as a whole fell really flat. Probably doesn't help that the Vash character is a dead ringer for a Mary Sue. She's like a female version of The Outrageous Okona.

If you can recover The Alaskan, you might be able to find out! Though, not surprisingly, IMDB says it was filmed in Alberta anyway.

Watching "You are Cordially Invited", and Martok's talking about his wife to Worf is hilarious. Proper pussyfooting around that he's basically terrified of her.

Yeah, Martok's wife is amazing. I love how Worf is basically all "just do whatever she says" when Dax knows the only way to earn her respect is to stand up to her.

Been reading through the older officially licensed Star Trek comics. They're a blast. I'll post some covers to start out; I may start posting more of actual issues and writeups of the DC ones if there is interest. Quite a few different publishers of comics have had Star Trek rights over the years. I'll talk about a few of them: - Marvel started with the license, and picked it back up after 1997 for a while before abruptly dropping the license in the middle of their ongoing series because they foolishly oversaturated the market. - DC in particular had TOS and TNG licenses for a long stretch, and those are the ones I know best from childhood. - Malibu Comics did most of the DS9 comics. (IDW has the current license and publishes ongoings set in the Kelvinverse, but I haven't checked those out yet.) - To absolutely no one's surprise, no one has bothered to license Enterprise as a comic series.
