The Scientist posted:In the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where the f did the giant space probe come from, and why didn't the movie even attempt to address that? Answered above, but this is good old-fashioned Star Trek. Space is big, mysterious, and dangerous, and you'd better get used to it.

Sash! posted:Yeah it's not like "we would be honored if you would join us" wasn't a Bond villain level one liner. Honestly, as much as I may loathe the prequels, imagining Vader as still being this emotionally stunted dude with a traumatic childhood who's desperate for people to think he's awesome even when he's middle-aged does kind of make some of his original trilogy scenes hilarious. Especially the entire Luke fight in ESB. I mean, he's showing off, and quipping like crazy the entire fight, just imagine it running through his head throughout the whole thing, how cool his son is going to think he is, how he's totally going to join him when he realizes this witty badass is his dad, and how all his one-liners are TOTALLY amazing.

skasion posted:It really depends on how you look at it. The prevailing feeling within the production at the time was that the show had not been good so far and that changes needed to be made (and were). The result is in some ways more entertaining but also sillier and more frustrating, which is saying a lot given how the show was to begin with. It fixes some big problems but that exposes the ones it doesn’t fix in a really glaring way. The big saving grace of the second half of the show is Seven of Nine, but the other side of that is that it virtually becomes the Seven of Nine show at times. Seven: good character, great actress, totally embarrassing to watch in that catsuit as a grown rear end man in 2018. Middle seasons of Voyager are good when they focus on more self-contained character episodes. Also they introduced some decent villains with the Hirogen.

All things considered, the fourth and fifth seasons of Voyager weren't too bad so there's stuff to look forward to. IMO it really turns to poo poo in the sixth and seventh seasons

I have fun trying to measure up Discovery and the Cage to the earlier part of the Kelvin timeline since they pretty much run concurrently. Quinto's Spock it would seem had to grow up a bit faster (if 2009 happens in 2258 he is markedly different from the Cage Spock of 2254). They've said the Spock we're getting isn't fully formed yet, so seeing how Peck's Spock stacks with Quinto should be interesting. Similarly, the Klingon War of 2256-2257 is butt up against Admiral Marcus's fears of a Klingon invasion in 2259, which was probably delayed a bit by the whole Nero incident. Suddenly he doesn't seem like such a crazy rear end in a top hat when you see poo poo like what happened at Starbase 1 in that one episode where like a hundred thousand people were straight up murdered Wrath of Khan style on the space station.

Pinterest Mom posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_pCLl6HmdA Oh, it was just Voyager? I assumed it was a general week of programmes with a “borderline rape” theme. I’m not sure if it just being Voyager is better though. At least it looks like most of the episodes don’t play into the theme in the slightest. Who could possibly see 11:59 or that Sulu episode and think “yes, dark seduction”?

I finished season one of "Enterprise." I'd seen most of it before, but barely remembered anything. It was fine. Some terrible episodes, some bland ones, a few really good ones. I love Scott Bakula, but whenever he tries to act tough, it does not work.

At least it looks like most of the episodes don’t play into the theme in the slightest. Who could possibly see 11:59 or that Sulu episode and think “yes, dark seduction”? Which is kind of funny, because Voyager seemed absolutely rife with actual terrible seduction plots not included in that promo. Off the top of my head: -That one where Janeway and the anti-telepath Nazi seduce one another -That one with Harry Kim on the polyamory planet -Seven gets not-raped -Most things involving Seska -That one where Tuvok falls in love with a hologram -That one where Paris gets seduced by a sentient spaceship -The one where the Doctor gets seduced into the medical dark side by that Mengele-like Cardassian -The one where Janeway fucks an Irish hologram And so on.

I also forgot about any number of episodes where the crew get mentally seduced by alien forces presenting them with an opportunity to live their innermost fantasies. With or without fantasy loving.

So...”Yesterday’s Enterprise”...the bleak, dystopian alternate timeline where the Federation is at war with the klingons and everything is dark and blue and lit for high contrast...seemed familiar.
