I need to rewatch SG-1 and Atlantis again, those were Good Shows. Well except SG-1 kinda nose-dived after RDA left.

Bogus Adventure posted:The Voyager had a toxic work environment. Imagine being that ship's counselor and dealing with poo poo like Janeway peeking into the personnel files to see which crewmembers are wavering in their slavish loyalty to her, Tuvok forcing subordinates to write murder simulators OR ELSE, and the bitchiest Chief Engineer in the quadrant making sure to take a poo poo in someone's cereal every loving morning. Okay when you put it that way I get it but Tuvok is ironically the only one besides B'Ellana who can't keep their poo poo under control.

I like how they put so much effort into the whole "Vulcans get so horny they'll LITERALLY DIE if they don't gently caress" plotline, then B'elanna just has to beat the piss out of Vorrick and he stops being horny. Also when Tuvok catches the horny like three years later, the doctor says that the holographic wife thing worked on Vorrick even though it literally didn't

Tuvok ends up having to defeat Pon Farr through pure mediation which is actually kind of bad rear end considering how it's affected other Vulcans.

Worth bearing in mind, Tuvok's a lot older than Spock and T'Pol. He's married with kids, served in Starfleet then dropped out for a few decades then reenlisted, and taught at the Academy for a while. It's never really dwelled on, but Tuvok's pretty great with children throughout Voyager - I always figured it's because hey, Tuvok's a dad.

When you live 200+ years you can accomplish a full human lifespan of things and still have 100+ years left and get bored and go join the space navy

ferroque posted:Nobody has ever watched Exorcist III to know for sure My buddies and I go to a weekly horror double feature and the guy who runs it decided to show the reconstructed workprint version of III that keeps cutting back and forth between HD and VHS rips of the dailies. Every single one of Dourif’s scenes was a VHS rip in a completely dark prison cell and he just monologues on and on and on while George C Scott sleeps through the scene. It was agonizing.

Noctone posted:I need to rewatch SG-1 and Atlantis again, those were Good Shows. Well except SG-1 kinda nose-dived after RDA left. There were enough changes to SG-1 after season 8 that the show badly needed a new name. And I absolutely refused to watch it without RDA involved and with half the cast of Farscape shoved in his place. My mistake. Yeah, Browder and Black took a bit to grow on me, but Seasons 9-10 were tightly plotted and well-made, the Ori were a legit threat, far moreso than the Goa'uld ever were, the good guys were actually getting their asses handed to them for once, and the Ori actually were gods, down to even having their own messiah. Plus we got heaping scoops of Ba'al at his smarmy best. I approve of those two seasons.

The Lon Suder episodes of Voyager were interesting as they gave us a Betazoid who was totally different from the Trois and the dude who decided to live in Tin Man.

Yeah like, I really like the way the writers managed to capture the subtle idea that humans are fine until you remove them from the federation and put them in danger whereupon they become vicious dictators. Just like quark said.

It's so weird because Star Trek elsewhere seems to like saying we've moved past cultural hang-ups and petty disputes to all Get Along by the 24th century Yet in a ship full of lonely people, they can't find one willing to gently caress a Vulcan just once to save his life

i liked when worf was describing klingon mating and the creepy smile when he says "and then they start throwing things" like all you have to do to get a klingon sweaty is growl at him (although if famke janssen growled at me im pretty sure i would lose any higher reasoning i have left)

Tuvok just needed to choke the ol' Talaxian, if you know what I mean. Sadly, Tuvok mistook the euphemism for an actual act of killing.

Could it be that she was quietly written away as a character. With all their diplomatic swagger, I doubt any Vorta could sit through 20 words from Lwaxana before giving the kill order. Or simply executing all of a planets diplomats as a gesture of 'we will take your unconditional surrender'?

Spock's mom was actually not supposed to be a school teacher, it was just some role play she and Sarek were into to spice things up. But Vulcans are so expectant of excellence and truth she literally had go through all the education and certification to complete the illusion.

Vulcan's are kind of the best because they are hypocritical as gently caress. They get all snarky about how their society is governed by intellect and logical principles but then the sex-madness comes on and you gotta fight to the death in the ancient family murder-sex arena because of Tradition. It's bonkers as hell. Klingons are pretty much all stupid assholes to a man (except for Martok and that one chef) but at least they are up front about it - hell, they're proud of it even. Vulcan's try and hide it all from outsiders so no one finds out that they're just as bad as everyone else.

Big Mean Jerk posted:This is why the DS9 baseball episode is the best example of Vulcans being giant rear end in a top hat hypocrites I just saw that episode again a few nights ago, and it really is fantastic. Solok just getting progressively more irritated that Sisko and his team weren't sad because they lost while the Niner's dunk on him was hilarious. They really do overuse the whole "Vulcan's are all giant racists" thing way too much though. I mean, Spock was always saying poo poo about illogical humans but that was when he was snipping back and forth with McCoy, a man who he considered to be one of his best friends and invited to be his second best-man at his sex-murder wedding. The writers in other shows taking those scenes and running it into the ground every time another Vulcan shows up is really just sad and shows a lot of missed opportunities to do more to develop the setting and species beyond "all other Vulcan's are pretty much just Spock but without the charm".
