Grand Fromage posted:Some time ago LeVar Burton watched some TNG and posted about it on Twitter, saying he had never realized at the time how loving creepy Geordi is. I can believe it. He's playing it straight, blissfully unaware of how he's coming across. Had he known Geordi was creepy as gently caress, he'd have probably put some kind of spin on it. Or make him too much of a pathetic try-hard.

Also with how production works it's probably real hard to keep track of things as an actor.

Honestly? LeVar Burton is a cool guy, and I have absolutely nothing against him at all. How could you dislike the Reading Rainbow guy? But I've never particularly liked Geordi. His personality never sat well with me. Season one, eager young lieutenant Geordi is much better, in my opinion, than nerdy Geordi of the later seasons.

Geordi's not even really nerdy as the show goes on, though. Nerdy Geordi might have been okay, but he's really just... bland, with occasional bursts of weird creepiness. He's tied with Beverly as the character on TNG with the fewest defining character traits.

Jeb! Repetition posted:All matter in space vibrates at 21 centimeters? What? That's a case of the writers misunderstanding science. 21cm is the wavelength of the main line in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen, and as hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, you see it a lot, especially in stars. That spectral line is very useful and we've figured out the structure of our galaxy by measuring them and their Doppler shifts. It's also how we've figured out that the universe is expanding. So yeah, it's a real thing, but the writers misunderstood it completely.

You know, at that point in the story, telling the truth would've probably obviated the rest of the plot. "Look, cards on the table: during a crisis situation, I used your likeness and information as part of a holodeck simulation to save the ship. Computer decided to simulate you as way more friendly than it should've, it got weird, awkward, and embarrassing, and I'd like to get to know the real you." Instead, we got ... that.

Grand Fromage posted:It was cool to read that this actually is one of the less dumb things on TOS and is a real physics hypothesis. If the universe is infinite (or some types of multiverses work here) then this will happen because the number of combinations of matter and energy is finite. In an infinite universe, it is not just likely but required that somewhere out there is another planet that looks identical to Earth. It'd be so far away you'd never encounter it, but it must be there. I'm not convinced. if the fundamental arrangement of matter and energy in space-time is not quantized then an infinite number of universes that are not noticeably different from our own could satisfy the Multiverse Theory you're mentioning.

Jeb! Repetition posted:All matter in space vibrates at 21 centimeters? What? Their explanation is nonsense but their course of action is reasonable according to the TNG tech manual. All they really do is changed the power system frequency to something the baby doesn't like. It's amazing the ship still works while they do this but it's Starfleet so hey. It's like if you were to install a different Transformer Upstream of your house power and expect all your appliances to keep working. The electroplasma system is a lot more easily tunable than a house Transformer because they've got the power plant right there and they can mess with it.

Holy poo poo, I think I'm officially Internet Fighting with whoever recommended The Next Conversation in this thread. I actually like the hosts and find the gimmick rather interesting, but holy gently caress these guys need to edit out all the audio-checking, technical glitches, wait-hold-on-I'm-looking-something-ups, talking to people in the same room, or screwing up the audio drops. It'd cut out at least 30 minutes from each episode, I suppose.

Watching "It's Only a Paper Moon" and Jake just ripped Nog about playing a Vic Fontaine song too loud in their quarters. "If you want to hear that song again, get a holosuite!" Just had the thought, in light of all the bitching ST characters do about someone playing music loud (like Worf's operas), where did earbud technology go in the future? You'd think they'd all have super sophisticated nano aural implants or something that allow them to listen to music as loud as they want. This show isn't very realistic at all IMO.

We have earbuds and inconsiderate roommates now, no reason people in the future wouldn't also want to listen to something on their big stereo without thinking of their roommates' desire for quiet.

I had roommates that played loud music all the time and honestly thought it was fair, because I could play all the loud music I wanted, too.

In the Quantum Future in All Good Things, Geordi mentios "Leah and the kids" which makes me think he engineered the end of her marriage, either seducing her away from her husband, or maybe something more sinister.

It'd cut out at least 30 minutes from each episode, I suppose.  I'm only a few episodes in, but almost every time I find myself getting annoyed that they've spent the last fifteen to twenty minutes playing with a soundboard or looking stuff up on Memory Alpha or going off on some other tangent without saying a single word about the TNG episodes they're supposed to be discussing.

He's tied with Beverly as the character on TNG with the fewest defining character traits. I think Geordi suffers from not a lot of time to characterize and he doesn't really overact enough to pull off his character. Barclay does the nerd thing a lot more effectively in his screentime than geordi does. I think the main problem with nerdy geordi is that a lot of geordi scenes involve him and Data and you can't really put Data with a nerd, especially not S3+ Data. Honestly, thinking about it, a lot of the problem with Geordi's character is that his role is to spout technobabble and be Data's sounding board so his own character suffers for it.
