IShallRiseAgain posted:So I'm finally watching TOS for the first time. One thing I'm noticing is that there are a lot of shots of random crew members not giving a poo poo about what is going on. Like when somebody was trying to commit suicide, they just sit and stare at them. They only get up when the guy manages to stab himself. the (20)60s were a wild time

The bystander effect. Edit: I'd love to see an episode where they pick one of the crew and court-martial them, and exactly this is mentioned. "You knew the man was an active threat to the health and safety of the entire command crew, and yet did nothing to stop him?" "I thought somebody else would do something! And I was right, by the way!" Brawnfire fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Jun 10, 2018 |

Mister, you stood by and... watched while Yeoman Genovese was... brutally murdered in the corridor, and did nothing! It took her six...teen minutes to die!

The two dominant political parties on Romulus were the helmeted Legion and the Sovereign Sholder-pads. There was a political shift in the early 24th century.

That would have been an interesting "enemy": literally dozens of crew members succumbing to depression and anxiety, to the point where running the ship becomes an issue due to staffing alone.

They were almost all rear end-deep in some program or another, I guess it's just a surrogate for home and friends that aren't space pajama assholes.

I never really got the episode where they disciplined the guys who really didn't want to be there until they got on board with the janeway doctrine.

Voyager seems to be pretty cool. Usually it's someone else in danger, not them. They seem to be taking their time and stopping to explore yet still going ahead of schedule and finding plenty of shortcuts. They are all arrogant Starfleets and probably figure they'll make it back in not much longer than a normal mission.

I told him about the Sorcerer’s Apprentice idea that was mentioned when I first brought this up to the thread (forgive me for not digging for the glory to you and your mouse post, but you know who you are), and he told me that he once tried out for a role in the Hunchback of Norte Dame and apparently was a runner-Up for the role. He did think the eyes would have matched the sorcerer, indeed! He flipped when I brought out A Klingon Challenge. He also mentioned that he still has his framed photo of him with Stephen Hawking that he got out of the “luck of the draw” because Hawking loved Klingons and Bob was the only one available in costume in the next soundstage from where they filmed the poker game. He had to ask me whether Kavok had an apostrophe. It was adorable! Anyhow, trip report: Robert O’Reilly is great, and he’s got stories for days. Love that man.

So uh. I got a free week of All Access and finally got around to watching STD. Although I'm personally finding it not terrible, it feels like it's made by people who wanted to make a prestige Star Trek series without understanding "prestige" tv or what people like about Star Trek. Also I find it hilarious that they redesigned the poo poo out of the Klingons but decided that Vulcans, Tellarites, and Andorians were fine the way they are. The mirror stuff is better than anything else on the show yet but I've got four episodes left. It's not so terrible that it couldn't be salvaged come season 2 but if the writing and production staff remains largely the same I won't be holding my breath. Does anyone here know why they felt the need to jazz up the Klingons in both JJTrek and STD? Did the Motion Picture just set a precedent? Anytime Trek is revived the Klingons have to look different?

The Bloop posted:they dumb It's weird because I think the ships and tech stuff looks mostly fine and I'm okay with moving past the idea that everything needs to perpetually look like the 1960s in that era of Trek. But yeesh. Those Klingons look rough and it constantly takes me out of it, even though they are still speaking Klingon and ranting about Kahless all the time.
