Mulaney Power Move posted:i thought although worf had ties to minsk he was raised on some sort of agricultural planet I think this is from S1 TNG which, while not as bad as VOY for getting its canon rewritten, does seem to get overruled if they have something better later on. Like O'Brien has officer pips, but in DS9 he says he deliberately never became an officer as part of character development in a story arc. VOY rewrites its canon just because it's what they felt like that week

Even DS9 gets in on that, with Sisko saying his dad is dead, but later he shows up as a character.

People die and come back constantly in the Picard era. Q farts out some stupid idea to impress Jean Luc and suddenly an entire era of human civilization gets restored just so he can be surrounded by drug warriors. I believe that Kevin Uxbridge swung by one day and suddenly the seaboard was flush with revivified grandparents and Sisko had to find a place for him and was like, 'well, he always loved killing marine life...'

It's some strongly implicating phrase like "when I went to hospital and saw him lying there, so weak and frail compared to how he used to be, I broke down crying" But apparently Daddy Sisko got better

Oh yeah speaking of Q there's a scene (s2e21? Around there. Picard is getting heart surgery) where Picard is explaining what it's like to get stabbed in the back and have the knife come out the front, and how he almost laughed at the absurdity of it. To Wesley. Who got stabbed through the back and was most certainly not laughing about it in S1TNG

I don't see how people can hate on TOS, haven't they seen Kirk's breathtaking fight scenes? Every episode I stare at the screen in gleeful anticipation of every slow-mo punch or clumsy, full body tackle. Oh and the strategic, soft-focus lighting that makes Kirk seem so righteous and the voice of reason one second and the next he's just rolling around on the carpet like maybe he heard of something called wrestling once but nobody really explained it to him so he's just going by what "feels right". Pure delight. Also the loving Gorn fight was a masterpiece and should be shown in a museum.

Not everyone likes things more just because they are campy or bad. TOS has it's place but just because some hammy actor was pummeling a guy in a $30 lizard costume with styrofoam rocks 50 years ago that doesn't make it compete with compelling storylines like Deep Space 9. Enterprise is better than TOS.

Do later Star Trek series just sort of pretend that some of the weirder episodes of TOS never happened? I'm talking about the space hippies, space Greek gods and space mafia.

Sadly so. I still want to see a character from the Mafia Planet show up as a Starfleet crew member, dissing Klingons with gangster lingo. Though Star Trek series will often pretend that at least one episode from the same series didn't happen (like the one where the Dax symbiote gets stolen) anyway, so.

I think the Trials and Tribbleations there idea was initially that they wanted to do an episode where they go to the gangster planet which had now turned into a Trekkie planet.

Another reason: Enterprise D crew has fun by doing Shakespeare or watching a dumb robot play the violin. DS9 crew has fun by playing baseball or openly holding holosuite orgies.

The only other part he's involved in is when they start messing about in Tuvok's mind and he stands behind them going "hey, who are you and what are you doing" as ineffectual background noise.

Jose Oquendo posted:Another reason: In retrospect, seems like the TNG crew was a bunch of goddamn nerds, while DS9 was a genuinely varied jumble of people brought together by circumstances who learn to live and care for each other despite their vast differences. Kind of the strength of the setting; a space station where they have to live and work alongside civilians rather than a spaceship where the crew all live together and meet aliens of the week.

In some production memos from TNG it sounds like they weren't entirely sure whether TNG took place in TOSs future, or if TNG was a separate show whose history just happened to include people and events that resembled some TOS episodes, if that makes sense. The big example was time travel - there's one memo where Rick Sternbach basically says "yeah TOS had the stellar slingshot/breakaway manuever but I don't know whether or not that's a real thing for TNG"

It was a long slog getting through TOS. That Native American one was cringeworthy but did address one issue: why all alien races look human.
