Whatever that line is supposed to mean it's really clunky.

FlamingLiberal posted:I don't think it was explicitly said during that time period, but I thought it was always implied that the Klingons were threatened by the Federation's method of expansion. They saw it as cowardly as opposed to conquering worlds outright. I think it was less "threatened" and more just contesting where the borders were. The Klingons wanted to expand into certain systems and the Federation was either already there or moving in on it at the same time.

Drink-Mix Man posted:I dunno, seems to me like the theme of the show has something to do with war starting because of cultural fear and they're amping up the alienness of the Klingons to help tell that story. If it was just the Klingons I could see that, but its everything. The ship looks more Star Wars than Star Trek is a big one for me as well. Things just look more clunky than smooth sci-fi that Trek is associated with. It's a Steve Jobs/Elon Musk future, where everything is clean and has no sharp edges.

If it turns out it's just an arbitrary change it it'll be sort of dumb but assuming it actually has a dramatic purpose I kind of like it so far.

One of the bodies on the ship was killed by a phaser, which surprised me because I didn't think phasers could leave dead bodies behind.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I think it was less "threatened" and more just contesting where the borders were. The Klingons wanted to expand into certain systems and the Federation was either already there or moving in on it at the same time. Someone once explained it better than I could, but the political situation in the Trek galaxy plays like a 4x game. Theres military factions doing military stuff, there's economic factions doing economic stuff, and the Federation just sits there, quietly doing a cultural/scientific victory path. It's not that the military and economic groups are waving their hands unconcernedly, far from it: they know the Federation has a good chance at winning. There's an underlying assumption that the other races should be thanking their lucky stars that the Federation is genuinely kind and peaceful while teching up, because when they are forced to pivot to another route, it doesn't end well for their enemy. They've got horrifying weapons that they invented while trying to get a +1 energy out of a tile.

A lot of people apparently hate Night Terrors, including like everyone who made it, but I've always thought it was the best of TNG's horror outings by a country mile. Slow, atmospheric and just creepy and weird.

Slow, atmospheric and just creepy and weird. The creeping dread is good so far, especially because of the contrast with how the show usually operates. Although nothing's been close to as scary as Troi's mirror scene in Clues.

You don't remember the time Riker shot that guy in the face in the first season and his head blew up like a Polish sausage in a microwave? Nerd talk, there's something like sixteen power levels on TNG phasers. The first three are stuns of increasing intensity, the next four just burn people to death, and everything above that vaporizes them. I think at level 16 you can basically blow the side off a mountain, which is handy if you're lost in the wilderness and need to do some emergency fracking.

Given how much energy must be in the batteries of those things it's always amusing to see someone set it up to overload and act as a grenade, and all it does is fizzle out like a dud firework in a console instead of nuke the ship

I like how they're using so many dark sets but there's a reason for all of them, like the unmanned Brittain, the medical wing where they're sleeping, Worf's ceremonial red light, etc
