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.

Hopefully the Tarantino movie happens.

From what I've read it's about as official as it gets, it's based on his idea and he's directing but not writing.

It sounds so wrong and improbable that it still seems fake to me no matter what. But as much as I like Trek the thing that really sucks about it is that it's a major left turn in the current run of really really good Tarantino films which imo is the best run for a director that's going to happen in my lifetime. Maybe Once Upon A Time in Hollywood will suck and I won't care.

All he did was pitch a story idea to Abrams, and now it's one of at least two different scripts in development by writers that are not Quentin Tarantino. That's all that's going on with it.

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.

That's what I love about Orville. It has the bright colours and optimism of TNG, but the crew aren't a bunch of stuffed shirts.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The Romulans actually kinda have a consistent aesthetic of everything about them being puffed up to look more intimidating and bigger. The larger Warbirds have an imposing frame but are mostly empty space, their outfits all have the shoulder pads, and they use cloaking to hide their numbers a lot.

Not to mention Warbirds are supposed to be gigantic. I think the original idea was that they were supposed to be so big that the Ent-D could fly thru the superstructure of one.

finished ds9 and tng rewatches and felt like i deserved some bij but i couldn't bring myself to watch voy again. then i remembered how i never actually finished ent and honestly didn't pay attention to most of it to begin with. so I selected my bij and started with s01, up to the ferengi episode now.

Its shocking how many bad choices were made in this series, starting with the cast. Phlox is good and there are those lil bits of promise that shine through the cracks in T'Pol' s poor direction (like the folks in charge who decided spock's clever burns and sarcastic wit should translate to "Vulcans are aggressively arrogant space racist pricks who look down on everyone with seething contempt and they're actively loving over humanity". Such a lovely decision to start this way.

And goddamn is archer the blandest mfer ever. What an absolutely terrible casting choice. The worst bit is this weird habit he has of mugging for the camera without looking at the camera, so he just looks around the bridge and mugs to no one in particular. That ep where they get hailed by the party animal Vulcans who start off with "hey, thrilled to meet you captain archer!" is hilarious, Archer just makes this absurd "get a load of this guy!" face, looking around from side to side at no one really, just making this hurr hurr face. Its so cringeworthy.

There's a scene where Archer gets upset so he goes to his room to watch people play water polo

Years ago in another trek related thread, some goon did a dissertation postulating that Romulans completely ruined their economies trying to build gigantic fuckoff warships which is why they're a ruthless bunch of secretive nerds.

Being old should make you get the reference. It's from a 25 year old TNG VCR game

Bij is klingon for punishment

The Star Trek threads here turned it into a meme and was the name of the weekly episode rewatches people did.

I just watched it all this past several months. And I lol’d at the finale montage showing past moments with their characters since they omit all of Jadzia and Worfs moments. It’s like she never existed.
