The way the flashlights are shining makes it look like it's actually green lighting. Whoops.

I love Data's rare feats of superhuman strength (and this one also humiliates Worf, like everything in the universe)

Picard just told some aliens that "despite their progress, they will remain a divided society" until a splinter pillaging group called the Gatherers returns to them. That seems like a weird, non-progressive thing for him to say.

I was just thinking about how this episode's boring but then they went to a cool abandoned industrial nighttime set

The set, soundtrack, and studded leather outfits the Gatherers have all combine to make this scene extremely eighties (yes I know it aired in the early 90s).

In that episode with all the alternate universes we know that we can't have been following Prime Worf because he would never win a fighting contest

I can't decide whether the main Gatherer guy's bad acting is funny or obnoxious.

A feminine voiced just called out "Yuta" and the fact that the guard's in the center of the shot, and Marouk's not facing the camera but he is, made me think it must have been him and it made me laugh. Also his expression.

Worf's always the best Klingon, it's just that the whole species exists to get beaten up. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Jul 10, 2017 |

Picard's uncharacteristically throwing his weight around. He just forced the Gatherer ship to talk to him by taking our their shields, now he's gonna forcibly beam onboard and keep them at gunpoint so they can't do anything.

Okay, the fact that the Gatherer head honcho is acting the same as the lower guy makes me think they were just directed that way and it's not the actors' fault.

Apparently there's no phaser setting between "cause someone to step back for a second" and "disintegrate utterly"

That episode had some good moments but everything was mostly under-developed and dull. Even the climax was dull.

Jeb! Repetition posted:Apparently there's no phaser setting between "cause someone to step back for a second" and "disintegrate utterly" The best thing is that nobody told the actors what would be, conceptually, happening in front of them. So the chick is being redistributed into the nearby air, and everyone is just casually sitting there, ho-hum about it.

I mean there are other settings, they just always miss with them. Also it's always really funny to me that there's absolutely no standardization between alien weapons. The cast always talks about phaser settings and it comes up in a few other things (the Veron T and stuff like that), but it's always a guessing game with how bad one of the good guys in Star Trek got shot unless they're vaporized. This disruptor only stuns guys, I swear!

Phasers tend to be inconsistent. It gets established that you can overload phasers to basically create a bomb but it doesn't come up nearly as often as you would think. Just watched a DS9 episode where some Trill guy shoots the Chief in the shoulder with a phaser on what seems to be maximum and that basically just lightly burns him

Remember when zats were introduced in SG-1, their settings were something like "one shot to kill, two shots to completely disintegrate"? Sort of weird in retrospect, given how quickly they dropped that.

One shot stunned, the 2nd shot killed, the 3rd totally got rid of the body. Later on they made fun of this by characters being confused/worried how long the window is between shots. Like if you shoot a guy and stun him then try to stun him before he fully wakes up will that kill them or just re-stun them? Sometimes they need to get rid of bodies/evidence so use the 3 shots but again, how long do you have? How does it even loving work? No one knows and it's stupid and they just celebrate it because SG-1 is rad.

We've already established that one shot stuns and two shots kills, and Victor shot everybody twice." "So three shots disintegrates them?" "I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that, because that is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say."
