The first recorded joke in human history is a fart joke from ancient Sumer. I wonder what the first recorded Vulcan joke is.

So I figure Data could fart and there could have been a whole episode about Data learning about a social convention.

Given their history it's probably farting in someone's nerve gas payload. Himuro posted:I thought they pretty much made it clear the Klingon Empire was changing and now in decline in DS9? They make a guy who uses alternative methods their emperor. Ezri flat out says to Worf that his old Klingon Empire is gone and you get that stupendous episode where he challenges Gowron to a duel. drat that episode is loving incredible and I love Klingons so much. Which reminds me: B’Ellana Torres is still the worst Klingon! I prefer even Alexander (DS9 incarnation). Yeah they kinda did but in retrospect I wish something more concrete and devastating had happened. Like maybe the Klingons take such harsh losses from Gowron's reckless over-extension during the Breen offensive that they open themselves up for a Hiroshima-level attack on the homeworld, get completely wrecked culturally as well as militarily and leave a power vacuum for the ascension of the Romulans at the end of the war. Just a complete shuffling of the deck. McSpanky fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Oct 30, 2018 |

*Newly resurrected Spock undergoes a rapid barrage of computerized intelligence tests on Vulcan* what is Kiri-Kintha's first law of metaphysics? "He who smelt it dealt it." CORRECT

Sarek's a bit of a sarcastic prick in Discovery which I like, because it shows where Spock got it from. When he basically points out how he's a better parent than Georgiou because his kid brought down her empire I was in shambles.

Sarek’s a sarcastic prick from the get-go, Disco is just being faithful to his established character. Every other thing he says to the Tellarite ambassador in Journey to Babel is a savage own and his banter about why he married Amanda is hilariously dickish, especially since she’s right there!

Spock is neither straight nor gay, he is obviously an ace. The only logical decision.

The Final Frontier is similar to First Contact in that it has very obvious flaws but overall it's still a more solid Star Trek adventure and a better time than basically anything they made after 2001 I have a feeling that if they tried to tackle the same subject matter these days the resultant show would disappear up it's own rear end

I wish they’d brought up something like Sybok again after V. Of course you’d have small sects on Vulcan that wouldn’t totally adhere to Surak’s purging of emotions, it’s honestly surprising it took until V for someone to think of it. Enterprise tried to explore it in one episode with mixed results, but it feels like such fertile ground for examining Vulcan culture that I’d love to see it brought up again.

Discovery had that Vulcan "logic extremist" who literally suicide bombed Sarek's ship because he (the extremist) hated humans so much.

They had a twisted view of logic that demanded Vulcan isolationism. I’m talking about peaceful Vulcans who don’t believe in the suppression of emotions trying to live in Vulcan culture.

First Contact owns. It's a great movie. As far as I can tell its "flaws" amount to "I don't like the Borg Queen". Comparing it to the cluster gently caress where nothing makes sense Star Trek V is insane (and I don't even mind V)

When you say plot holes, are you talking about time travel inconsistencies or TNG inconsistencies? It's been a while since I saw the RLM video (I like them and agree on a lot of their stuff) but from what I remember it was mainly "in the TV show Picard and the Borg did this..." and it was super nitpicking

Everybody's using the program and then people start talking about it, sharing strangling tips, discussing where the program could give a better experience, chatting about what the program means to them. Then a rumor starts. Neelix has been using the program. Someone looks into it. It's true. The program is deleted and never spoken of again.

But RLM pointed out a bunch of other little stuff like why is there conveniently a bunch of flesh-eating plasma in a glass tube in engineering, the implausibility of Cochrane building a rocket without anyone knowing about it, how silly it is the Vulcans didn't see the Enterprise, etc. It's actually pretty hilarious and pretty spot on, I really get a kick out of the observations. But I definitely take it as roasting the film for comedy's sake, not as a persuasive list of reasons that the movie actually sucks.

There's a convenient pipe of deadly halon right over my head IRL and this is just a server room, Cochrane converted an existing Titan rocket (and the backstory had it as a real research project to start with before WW3 killed everyone and he finished it alone), and with the time gap and tech progression I could believe the Enterprise could fly up and scratch their name in the hull and still keep the Vulcans from seeing them.
