First Contact is a decent action movie and a mediocre Star Trek movie.
My favorite ST movie is the one with the whales.

my favorite thing at the end of first contact was "hey data can you recreate the temporal rift" "yeah sure no problem" like lol at least the st4 slingshot around the sun seemed intensely stupid and dangerous

first contact was the movie that got me into star trek as i was prejudiced against the whole thing at the time but a star wars fan. i remember everyone in the audience cheering when they showed the defiant but i didn't know why. anyway after really liking the movie i decided to check out a ds9 rerun one night and it was the episode where the klingon fleet attacks the station and then i think the first episode i saw as it aired was "the ship" and 12 year old me was hooked. ACTION.

Now that I think about it, did we ever actually see the oft-mentioned arboretum on board the Enterprise?

Once or twice you see the arboretum gardens that Keiko works in.

I think Lwaxana and Troi had a fight there once. There was a single tree.

That is Keiko "Picky Eater" O'Brien's idea of an arboretum. Why have all those strange and unfamiliar trees taking up space when she can instead spend all day 'working' on just one?

Was that it? There was also a tiny garden keiko hung out in during her wedding episode.

Who'd give a gently caress about real trees and dirt when there is a holodeck 50 carpeted paces away?

Its useless unless you wanted something specifically to demonstrate to a species incapable of perceiving holograms what an average Earth three star hotel's inner courtyard looked like circa 1992.

Gross? Yaphit can suck your dick, lick your balls, eat your rear end, blow in your ear, and play with your nipples all at the same time. You like getting your toe sucked? Yeah, he can do that too, at the same time as all the other stuff.

This is what Kirk and Riker spent their lives looking for.

that is pretty great but not as great as the line directly before that, picard being informed that the moon's gravity shielded the enterprise from the vulcan science vessels sensors, which were advanced enough to pinpoint an insanely tiny ship like zep cockring's from light years away on a huge planet with all kinds of crazy post-atomic horrors and radiation and such. that was very, very good writing

I think it's possible.

He seemed suspicious of the Vulcan admiral's sudden accolades after he disobeyed orders, and he knows Admiral Fuckbuddy has probably told them he's crazy. He was obviously playing Stemetz into going in for one more jump.

Seems to me like Stamets did it. He was lit in the same erie way and had that sort-of-sinister-but-maybe-not look they teased us with when he first started jumping.

There was a lot of retarded poo poo in this episode, but that goddamn beacon had me so angry in its nitpicky stupidity. JUST GONNA PLANT MY SECRET SPY BEACON HERE THAT HAS A LITTLE TRIPOD, BIG FLASHING BLUE LIGHTS, AN ANIMATED LCD DISPLAY AND A HUGE STARFLEET INSIGNIA ON TOP NOTHING TO SEE HERE

e: I seriously thought it would audibly go 'beep boop.... transmitting data' after she set up the second one

I sort of let that one slide since I doubt they had purpose-built probes/beacons that were designed to be low-profile for hiding on enemy ships, and rather used what they had laying around.

I thought this bit was one of the funniest things I've seen in Orville yet.

Also kinda surprised to see that Klingon nipples aren't so pointy that they could take an eye out

Overall that was a one of the better STD episodes. Probably the only one but I really appreciated Anthony Rapp's La Bohème reference.

We saw part of a klingon, I think it was Worf's brother's chest before, and it actually looks pretty similar from what I can remember. It was still pretty awkward and dumb though. Better than Head of Security Mcdreamy magically losing a foot of height to become human though.

People are mad 'cause of the blinking blue mcguffin on the klingon bridge, but i'm more annoyed at the klingon bridge to begin with. The fact that it's so absurdly huge, and honestly that ship was several hundred meters long, I think the bridge-adjacent gore room would have sufficed.

Also they get beamed into the center of the ship in a hallway. Why not just beam them straight into that empty aft cargo bay they plant the first one in anyway and save some time? Also what's up with security guy, he says he decided on the first day that he would gently caress to survive, so why are all his ptsd flashbacks of rotary saws and bloody knives when he has no scars and his torture was apparently more on the rapey side?

agreed. Spore drive is my least favorite propulsion system, and that ranking includes god drat Bajoran lightships.

My only concerns that remain for this show revolve entirely around whose boobs we next get to see. My ranking for that is as follows:

Top Rank
Sex Admiral
Daft Punk Helmet Ensign
Lorca With Implants
An Entire Rave Party's Worth
Ensign With That Metal Bit Grafted Onto Her Scalp
More Klingon Boobs
Chatty Redhead
Female Tardigrade
Even More Klingon Boobs but like a big heap of them in one of the Ship Of The Dead's corpse rooms.

Bottom Rank
