Bloody Hedgehog posted:Seriously, that character took only a few episodes to become of the dumbest, most annoying Trek characters ever written. She wasn't that bad. One-dimensional sure but she was no Neelix. That said, as a stand-in for how hosed up Captain Angry was making his crew, she served her purpose as "metaphorical stand-in for everything going wrong on Discovery." My tick with her was I kept seeing her as Tory from BSG and couldn't shake it since both characters had the same "give no-shits" attitudes.

Is there a voyager season 8 Twitter? When B'Elanna Torres becomes trapped on the holodeck with Werewolves, she must become Belladonna Torres. Neelix appears to Chakotay in a spirit vision.

The same vessel that transported the hadrosaurs to the Delta quadrant also swung back around and littered the Beta quadrant with funk band album covers on their way out of the galaxy.

Oh dear, I'm starting to think the spinny bits weren't well thought out at all. I was looking for a gif or something that would show the ship, found this from april: The saucer is all one peice like every other federation ship. But since it is CGI rather than a physical model, some studio exec probably came along and was all "That's dull, can you sex that up a bit?"

angerbeet posted:I mean, you have to let Trek shows hit their stride, Season 1 TNG was, well: Anyone that tries to defend a show's first season being bad as an okay thing because TNG did it is basically saying the showrunner is (equivalent in their faculties to) a senile, incoherent old man strung out on pills and liquor. That's a huge part of why TNG's first season was a trainwreck: Gene Roddenberry was practically out of his mind by 1987, and between his raging insecurity and his attorney's treachery, the show had no firm direction or leadership and burned through over thirty writers in the first year. If a modern team of showrunners can't do any better, that's a pretty damning indictment of their talent and ability in my opinion.

At this point in existence, shows should be awesome out of the gate. It's not like this is some magical mystery. Look at what works, and go with that.

You need to take a turbolift so the computer can time the transition when lift shafts on the rings are lined up. I can't wait for the crawling through the jeffries tubes episode where someone has to make it around the dumb ship manually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqRdT8m1Suo&t=22s

It sucks and it's embarrassing, it's grimdark Star Trek and it'll get cancelled after one season because CBS is betting on their own streaming network taking off, which it won't. In the cultural zeitgeist of the era (forgive me for that phrasing) why does anyone want to watch some brown miserable show where everyone is lovely to eachother when we live on planet hell already?

It is totally salvageable. The magic fungus works on some kind of quantum level or poo poo, right?
Captain Nog: Hello Discovery, welcome to 2399. Your disappearance was a real mystery, glad to have that solved. Discovery: Oh no, we have to go back, we have to win the war! Captain Nog: What? No, you can't go back, that would disrupt the timeline. Besides, the war is long over and everything was resolved just fine without you. We're allies with the klingons now. Discovery: Whaa?!? The federation is still a little low on hulls, so Discovery is sent to a nearby starbase for a refit instead of being scrapped.

I assume the redesign was because the reaction to the original ship reveal was so negative. The changes are ...less bad. As for the spinning, are you guys being purposely obtuse or do you actually not notice how only a thin layer of the saucer sections move, it's not like the entire thing with all the decks is moving. https://i.imgur.com/qlG7m53.gifv Facebook Aunt posted:It is totally salvageable.

Why does it spin? Why does it have pieces cut out of the saucer section? Looks terrible. I prefer the chunky design that actually looks like it would work. I also hate Romulan D'deridex warbirds.
