Blistex posted:Some people were commenting, "how could the Klingons get to earth if they only took 20-30% of the Federation's territory?" But it sort of makes sense. If you're expanding, and you run into another Org's territorial borders (Klingon Empire), then obviously you're not going to expand that way, and put more resources into exploring and expanding in another direction. So what I'm guessing is that Earth is actually pretty close to Klingon Territory, so taking 20-30% could easily mean that you've made it to Earth. Its because Discovery isnt particually well written from the get go and the final episode is a rushed mess that feels like the production team had their two part epic conclusion suddenly cut down to one episode and boy would I put money on that being the truth.

The bulk of the federation expands to the galactic west.

I like to imagine Sisko spent his time with the Prophets manipulating events in the delta quadrant to continually delay Voyager’s trip home just because of the maquis crew members.

Earths been almost blown up so many times I'm starting to see the evil terran side of things. I think we'd all agree that wiping out the 2018 klingons would be a good thing and vulcans really aren't any fun. God, could you imagine new ferengi? I wonder how stupidly grimdark and ridiculous they'd be. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Feb 16, 2018 |

Wasn't there some throwaway line in "Encounter at Farpoint" that implied the Ferengi eat people?

Arcsquad12 posted:Earth is actually pretty close to Klingon space. The bulk of the federation expands to the galactic west. Ok, that makes sense. I think everyone who was commenting on it assumed that earth had to either be directly in the middle of Fed space, or as far away from the Klingons as possible. Nutsngum posted:Its because Discovery isnt particually well written from the get go and the final episode is a rushed mess that feels like the production team had their two part epic conclusion suddenly cut down to one episode and boy would I put money on that being the truth. I would back up your wager with a stack of cash as well. That got resolved too fast, and too easily. I keep getting the feeling that the writers are trying to ape GOT, but it's almost like they never watched more than an episode or two and just thought "dark, twists, betray" is good writing, we'll go with that.

Ferengi were originally intended to be the Big Bad in early TNG development and you can still see some of that intent in the throw away line from Farpoint and the first two or three times they actually show up in the show. The Ferengi as we currently know them started to emerge in later TNG seasons with DS9 really running hard with the gimmick.

Nah, the Borg will be the opposite of their old selves, so they'll want to assimilate you into their collective by deeply learning about and understanding you and your culture. They're going to be the wokest space-bros around, and will start a campaign of militant letter-writing to convince to join their collective and, you know, just hang. No pressure, whatevs. You wanna transish into one of us borg bros? We can put tubes in you, pretty cool bro, tubes, and armoring. No pressure. We want you to be us, but by being the best "you" you can be. Resistance is too much adulting for me bro, just wanna holodeck and chill.

NuBorg would be a cloud of nanites/grey goo/SG1 replicators that go around and convert sentient species into part of their collective extremely by just transporting aboard a ship and easily infecting everyone as if they were an airborne virus. The humanoid shapes they take on are just a collective group-think memory of approximating the previous forms of all the species they'd absorbed. The Ferengi likely also had the misfortune to have their first documented contact with a Federation race be in the form a bug-like species that they proceeded to kidnap and eat thinking they were food.

The humanoid shapes they take on are just a collective group-think memory of approximating the previous forms of all the species they'd absorbed. Disagree, I think the conversation would go like this: OK everyone, so we need to fit the Borg into next season. Enterprise managed to retcon first contact with the Borg and so can we, hiw do we put our distinct flair on them? Well, we could change their appearance? Right now all the Borg look like pale white humans and that's not very diverse. They assimilate everyone right? Let's have all sorts of weird alien shapes and colours! Yes! Well done Timothy, great shout. Wait, you said old Borg weren't very diverse right? Well how about we emphasise that the Borg treats everyone as equals no matter what? We can contrast this with racial and gender discrimination and raise some real morally grey areas about the Borg. Yes that sounds great Susan [editors note: Susan is the only female star trek writer, the other 11 are all men]. Maybe we can have Burnham really struggle to see what is so bad about the Borg if everyone is treated equally and poverty and war would be eliminated? Maybe compare the collectives hive mind to the link she shares with Sarek. [Mumrmings of approval from all around the table] James, I think we should go for that, and then have Ash Tyler convince her at the end that individuality is really important. Like he had two people in his body and it really messed him up, so he's like "imagine if it was millions". That's fantastic James, we can have Burnham vulcanised logical personality basically saying "what is so bad about the Borg?" but she doesn't really defeat them until Ash Tyler appeals to her emotional side by saying "you'd lose me again, you'd lose everyone, don't out others through what I went though". Great job everyone, let's all take a ten minute snooze and mountain dew break and meet back here to write the script.

If I was going to redesign the Borg, I'd render them as a hideous parody of life, an agglomeration of all sorts of different bibs and bobs from a variety of species, with too many arms and legs that stick out at weird angles along with a generous helping of technological gizmos, doodads, and widgets sticking out all over the place, like the Borg just take people apart and then stick the pieces back together in a way that better serves the Collective. It'd be totally rad.

It would probably be a pain budget wise but I've heard worse ideas for the Borg. I'm sure the reality of NuBorg would be the writers trying to copy the Walking Dead only with pieces of hvac stuff glued to their yoga tights.

basic hitler posted:I'm not a huge fan of ezri-era ds9, and it's not ezri's fault but that last season is pretty weak. That "Well hello" might be the best delivered line in all of Star Trek. Ezri was great because in 1 season she was in more amazing scenes than Jadzia was in 6, even if season 7 overall was weaker. In addition to the one you linked, there's also Ezri destroys the Klingon way of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as886JnsjtQ&t=71s And Garak destroys Ezri: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLp_HJl-0nI It's one of my goals in life to deliver an amazing  and then end it with "Now get out of here, before I say something unkind."
