vermin posted:What exactly is Star Trek Discovery discovering? Because having STD as your acronym better be worth it. Before knowing a thing about it people have already associated your show with herpes, gonorrhea, and AIDS. The mail guy who's there on an internship could've made this marketing breakthrough. I chalk the choice of STD to one thing and one thing only: the people making this show are completely ignorant of Star Trek history and the fan/production code 3 letter abbreviations. The never thought it would matter.

I fully understand that Sub Rosa is awful, but as a fan of trashy Ann Rice novels and Hammer Horror films it did sorta work for me. Also, that loving line.

Paradoxish posted:This is kind of a weird complaint since Greatest Gen blew away all their vetoes, didn't skip anything, and already announced that they aren't doing vetoes for DS9 since neither of them have seen every episode. Oh it's not a complaint - it's more of a comment that they shouldn't even consider it. I enjoy both by the way, just saying I preferred the style of Next Conversation more.

That actually came out a little more defensive than I intended. Mostly I just meant that I'm not really sure if Adam and Ben ever really intended to skip episodes. I don't think they were intentionally tanking their vetoes, but I have a feeling they would have gone back and done something for any truly awful episode they vetoed. I'll have to check out Next Conversation, this is literally the first I've heard of it.

Trip report: DS9 season 4, episode 10 "Homefront" I remembered Joe Sisko figuring out a way around the blood screenings, although I don't know how long blood would last before decaying. This is the most B5-esque episode so far by a long shot, although with a Star Trek flavor in that

I always figured that it was unintentional. One guy knew enough to justify know an episode was lovely, the other knew enough to want to witness it. As lovely as it is to watch now, 11 year old me really liked watching Sub Rosa, because this redhead woman was doing things made me feel things I didn't understand, but knew I liked.

So right now I'm looking at a dumb conversation on another site about coming up with a way to watch the entirety of Star Trek in chronological order, and I'm wondering if any of you guys ever played with a thought experiment like that. Right now I'm trying to figure out whether episodes that feature hallucinatory scenes in the past should be sorted chronologically or not (spoiler for Jeb)(do you watch all of "The Inner Light" during season 5 of TNG, or watch the Kamin parts once you hit c. 1368 AD?), and if averted future timelines should be watched at the end of the project or if they should be spun off into their own little appendix to be watched separately. I'm also wondering if such a super-mega-cut would even be comprehensible on any level.

So, roughly its original air position.

I think with the Cardassians they had this reptilian head design and then had the inspiration to do something with Marc Alaimo's huge beefy giraffe neck and the Cardassian look was born. Everybody thought the makeup was great and they were a cool enemy and wanted to bring them back and it snowballed from there.

Not for any reason other than having split screen of the same shot happening twice for anything repeated in the Riker clip show or the DS9 final montage thing. Best of both worlds would be super confusing with all the dream sequences and memories happening.

It would be fun to see how they cut together "Farpoint" and "All Good Things." Or for that matter, oscillating between skinny and fat Riker for "The Pegasus"/"These Are the Voyages..." EDIT: Would "Cause and Effect" mostly be one big simultaneous five-way (or whatever) split screen? Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Aug 23, 2017 |

So while the two ships were stuck in the timeloop, the rest of the universe proceeded on without them. I think the worst part would be Star Trek 6 cutting away for footage from that lovely Voyager anniversary tie-in episode.

There's a great dichotomy of someone who knows jack-poo poo about TNG and has to slog through these first two seasons and someone who has watched the entire thing. Trying not to sound like a shill but I just truly enjoy it and think it isn't talked about enough in comparison.

Paradoxish posted:You don't even really need a backdoor or anything. Kids today already learn way, way more at a much younger age than kids did fifty or a hundred years ago, and that's even with highly imperfect educational systems like what we have in the US. It's pretty easy to imagine that you can teach a lot more when you've got a society that strongly values education for its own sake rather than as a means to an end. The complete lack of childhood poverty probably helps quite a bit too. Yeah, I didn't take it to imply anything more than it's simply the future and everyone is insanely smart by our standards, but to them it's just business as usual. It's like how now you can teach kids calculus before they even get to college; that would have seemed preposterous in the 18th century.

It's an episode where the conflict is resolved by Data and Geordi sneaking out into a cemetery in the dead of night to dig up an old lady's grave. It's hard to like but easy to enjoy. The candle dude being played by Zorro was one of those "Oh, so it is!" moments for me the second time I watched it.

Realtalk, this is an issue for me because my commute to work is literally ten minutes, so most of my podcast listening happens while playing a game (which distracts me from the podcast) or when I'm falling asleep at night (guess what happens there).

Even more than that on boring weeks where I can listen at like 1.5x or 2x and still focus on what I'm doing. Also like a poo poo ton of audio books.
