Farmer Crack-rear end posted:No it didn't, he gained like 20 pounds in the later seasons of the show, to the point where he called Brannon Braga to ask if the line "promise me we'll start working out more" was some sort of crack and Braga retorted with "you guys keep packing on the pounds and we're gonna have to start calling this show Pigs In Space!" 20 pounds over 7 years isn't so bad; I've put on about 20 pounds every year for the past seven. I guess I need to stop treating egg nog with rum as an all-year breakfast food.

VitalSigns posted:Also wow they rode the rest of those Borg kids out on a rail didn't they. Like whole episodes of Seven becoming a mother figure and insisting they stay aboard while the kids themselves are all "stop trying to find our parents we want to stay here" and then a few weeks later they're shoved out of the show in the cold open "ok we found two of yall's parents and whatever we'll just fob the third one of you off on them too "And you gave them the baby too?" "The... baby?" <flash cut to the borg baby floating at the top of the borg fishtank> "Oh, yeah, sure we did."

MikeJF posted:"And you gave them the baby too?" Lol I forgot about the baby, now I know how the Voyager writers feel. I like that we get to meet an ordinary Hirogen schlub just going about his day maintaining holodecks instead of "hunt hunt hunt the hunt calls me, joy of the hunt"

Listening to the greatest gen I got a feeling these guys just really don't "get" DS9, at least not yet. Like they spend a couple minutes today talking about how bad an excuse Nog has concocted saying Vulcans stole his ethics homework, and the whole time I'm thinking "That's the joke!"

Man the Doctor seems really...fickle and disloyal to his friends? Not only was he ready to abandon all his friends forever to be a celebrity on the world that has never heard of music, but now he betrays them to some hologram rebels who almost murder the entire crew. Wtf how could you ever trust him after that.

Marshal Radisic posted:You can see bits of that in the other Maquis characters that show up. Torres drifted into the Maquis after her temper got her kicked out of the Academy, Paris joined up so he could keep being a hotshot pilot after Starfleet dishonorably discharged him for killing a fellow cadet in a training accident and covering it up, and Eddington switched sides after deciding he'd never get to be the big hero if he stayed legit. As for the one-off characters, we do see more than our fair share of Bajorans who still seem to be carrying grudges from the Occupation and couldn't really hack it in peacetime. Yeah, it's clear that the Maquis got co-opted by a bunch of outsiders with their own agendas.

I like how Tuvok burned out of Starfleet due to a crisis of confidence when he had trouble following Sulu's unlawful orders, then like 70 years later when he's going to give Starfleet another try he is immediately assigned as a spy on an outlaw vessel and put under a captain with perhaps the most creative and inconsistent application if Starfleet regs in the franchise.

Alec Peters can't stop himself. From IndieGoGo: quote:Now that we are closer to having a revised and locked script, and we are well into pre-production, we are planning our next (and hopefully last!) fundraiser. As you know, the lawsuit with CBS and Paramount drained our coffers of both funds raised from fans and over $100,000 of money Alec personally put into this project to keep it going. Bear in mind his settlement with CBS and Paramount specifically prohibited him from crowdfunding another Trek project. Also,  at the lawsuit having "drained their coffers," because their law firm represented them pro bono.

lol the comments on the Kickstarter page (where he posted the same update) are glorious. People: You owe us refunds per Kickstarter's terms, because what you're working on now isn't what we agreed to back, you used our money for things we didn't agree to back, and you're literally unable to do what it is we agreed to back. Peters: You can't have a refund, it was a donation and not a purchase. There are also people calling out the "the lawsuit drained our coffers" lie. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/194429923/star-trek-axanar/comments

Peters is also saying that they don't have to give refunds as long as they can prove they're still working on Axanar. And apparently Prelude is "Part III" of their series, so the two episodes they're legally allowed to make will be ... prequels to a prequel? Dude can't stop putting his foot in his mouth.

Jesus, I had forgotten about this. We need Admiral Akbar saying "It's a scam!" here. I think the fact that he's from Star Wars makes it appropriate. This all reminds me of something that happened fairly locally. See, there's this big brand called "The North Face." They have an iconic logo, and they sell cloth wrappings for all makes and models of douche bags. Well, some smartass in the general St. Louis area thought it was just as douchey as it is, so he created a spoof logo. Imagine the North Face's logo upside-down. He added "The South Butt" in the same font, and had some shirts printed up. They were sold in a few local shops. Well, they were sued by The North Face, because of loving course they were. The "genius" behind the plan, who turned out to be a teenager or something, and his dad eventually ended up settling the case... and then promptly created The Butt Face, did everything they promised not to do in the settlement, and got sued again. The public was sympathetic the first time, because The South Butt is a little funny. But when they reneged on their settlement agreement, their pleas for sympathy didn't find welcoming ears.

So this is apparently a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzQe4sqjZT8 Starring Dakota Fanning and Patton Oswalt. Comes out next month. I wonder if they had to get permission from Paramount or CBS or whoever, or if this counts as fair use.
