STD hasn't endeared me to any of it's characters the way TNG had the opportunity to and so even when it shits on it's own people it's hard for me to care that much.

Coulda sworn I saw you say it's definitely worse than Nemesis somewhere else, but it looks like it wasn't you. Nm then, please continue the hateful, bilous rear end-reaming.

For all the morose talk about honor, death, and subjugation of other cultures, underneath it all old school Klingons enjoyed it. Those pain stick birthday parties were fun and we had fun watching them. After Voyager it went all grim dipshit.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i seriously cannot agree with you, Nemesis is aggressively stupid at a level even beyond that of Discovery With the exception of parts of the final battle (excluding reverse-mind rape targeting), Nemesis was possibly the lowest-point that Star Trek has ever reached. Sure there are individual episodes that are worse, but actually making that movie, and making GBS threads all over the established characters was what pushed it to the bottom. Also it started the fine tradition of recycling Wrath of Khan, that every ST movie has to use from now on. ST:NEM - Guy with a doomsday weapon wants revenge. ST:2009 - Guy with a doomsday weapon wants revenge. ST : ITD - Actually had Khan trying to get revenge. ST : BEY - Guy with a doomsday weapon wants revenge.

I'm not sure it was the actress' fault that she played a klingon so terribly. It was most likely the writers everyone knows were terrible. Klingon = Warrior Race. Proud. Pursue glory and pride to the detriment of everything else. Combative to establish dominance and not be seen as weak. Arrogant, egotistical and obsessed with tradition. Voyager Klingon = Huge bitch with a frustrated and sarcastic baseline who just attacks people constantly because KLINGONS SO ANGRY Martok's wife on DS9 was 1000% better and it had nothing to do with her not being half human. It was the writing.

She got into and dropped out of starfleet academy. She joined the Maquis, the most pointless and worthless rebel/terrorist group ever. She only got the job as chief engineer because of a half-assed affirmative action plan to make the Maquis losers feel like they were being taken seriously -- and she knows it. It's nice she finally found happiness (by hooking up with another loser who only avoided jail because his daddy was an admiral) but by Federation standards she's basically trailer park trash.

She had to join the Maquis because of her UNSTOPPABLE THIRST FOR COMBAT. Despite Klingons always being huge nerds for anything honorable like oaths or doing their duty.

The best Neelix episode is when he is brought back from the dead and tries to commit suicide by beaming himself into space because he realized the afterlife isn't real

Maybe you're making a joke that I'm missing? Helena Rozhenko was played by Georgia Brown. That's Suzie Plakson (who was perfectly cast as Q's wife, imo). E: oh and I was totally unaware that she played Selar. What a strange contrast to the other three roles. I'll have to check out her scenes. E2: Huh. Selar was actually only seen once. Unfortunately the ep was The Schizoid Man (terrible, early season 2). But she got mentioned a lot, hence I thought there'd be more scenes.

I've been slowly working through DS9 for like the last 2 years, (holy poo poo, TV shows used to have a TON of episodes per season) and am nearing the end of season 4. Slow warm up but shits finally getting good, much better writing, actors settled into their roles, and way better sets and effects. I'd prob recommend starting on season 4 if anyone else still hasn't watched DS9.

I'm thinking of putting together a list of essential stuff from the first 3 seasons and then go from there with him. He's v. interested after I showed him stuff like In The Pale Moonlight, Past Tense, etc. and I think I've prepared him to embrace the camp when it happens for someone who's not been a Trek fan before.

the tos communicators in std are so awful. And aside from getting to see some hot Klingon dual-stream piss, the episode was awful as well I'm relieved the season is over. I await the inevitable slow trickle of bad news about the prospects for s2 and CBS All Access itself to start to dribble out.

There's def some good episodes in the first 3 but it's sandwiched with so much cringey filler poo poo. Even the camp stuff in season 4 works because the actors are obviously having a great time with it and going all in, "Our Man Bashir" (holodeck Bond knockoff) and "Shattered Mirror" (evil character alternative universe!) are great for this. I'm in kind of a weird boat with this because I watched TNG and Voyager religiously as they came out when I was younger, but I had this adamant total rejection of DS9 (likely due to first season awkwardness) and refused to ever watch it after a few episodes. Now I've got 3 seasons more of primo Star Trek totally unwatched, no idea what's going to happen and it's actually surprisingly good.

Season finale gets 2 out of 5 piss streams. Enterprise looked cool. Sort of like a cross between the original, the refit, and a little JJ trek thrown in.

Well discovery went out with a complete whimper. What an incredibly badly paced episode with a bad setup and soft cock resolution. Its almost like they knew it was too and threw in the Enterprise tease right at the end to try and save it from complete nerd meltdown.

There was a rumor floating around that the new Star Trek series would be an anthology like American Crime/Horror Story. Seems unlikely now but this reboot could use a reboot.
