I don't have any deep insights to share about this episode, only that the sickbay scene where they howl is the most aggravating scene in all of TNG and it goes on forever.

To me, Jono is always going to be Dr. Quinn's son...just like Dr. Timicin will always be Charles Emerson Winchester III.

On Youtube just saw this pop up randomly, a really well done 4k version of the Voyager intro. Say what you will of the shitheap the series became, the intro still beautifully gets across the idea of a small ship all alone far from home. edit: whoops, link included. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sns1Xj6L-Qc Senor Tron fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Aug 12, 2017 |

I'm trying to remember the score for the Voyager intro in my mind but it keeps getting drowned out by the theme from DS9

They're really similar. Also Voyager didn't bother to have its own font, or its own uniforms, despite being on a different network than DS9 and running concurrently. They even both have major scale issues, since Voyager has a gas giant that is nine kilometers wide if you examine the perspective on the ship's reflection in the rings, and DS9 has a Nebula docked to an upper pylon that fits comfortably but should take up like 2/3 of the space between upper pylons. Okay I guess the font was different, Voyager doubled down and made DS9's weird font even weirder by narrowing the lines. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Aug 12, 2017 |

Senor Tron posted:On Youtube just saw this pop up randomly, a really well done 4k version of the Voyager intro. Well, if you assume the gas giant is scaled to Saturn, Voyager is 4,400 kilometers long so it's not that small after all. Huh, looking for the length and beam of the Nebula class I noticed it has no impulse exhaust port. At least not a visible one.

Arglebargle III posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ccYZTONpic Honestly if Voyager randomly had it's own special uniforms for no reason it would have been another mark against the show. I'm pretty sure Voyager was the reason why everybody switched to the new angular commbadges though. Don't talk poo poo about the TMP title font, it's classy and from space at the same time

There's gravimetric interference from a particularly unstable subspace domain emanating from an inverse graviton cosmic string at the center of a white home in the mirror universe. I mean, come on.

As you watch that 4k intro, just remember that every other country is likely going to get to watch Discovery in 4k from a streaming service that actually knows about content delivery while we get to watch low bitrate 720p.

You're going to watch it on CBS? Is our law so hosed up that like accessing a good streaming service over a VPN is illegal or something?

Pakled posted:It's the one thing Voyager has over DS9. DS9's intro is pretty meh. Well, Voyager's theme is pretty unimpeachable, considering Jerry loving Goldsmith composed it. I prefer the earlier version of the DS9 theme to the more up-tempo version used in later seasons. That solo horn was just perfect as a representation of a space station on the frontier, all alone in the night.

She only has what, three episodes total? Maybe four or five? Being the best one isn't a high bar to clear. e: I'm not disparaging the episode, it's real good. Just that its competition includes Scottish sex ghosts and not much else
