Angry Salami posted:They were obviously trying to give Troi sexy uniforms, but none of them did a thing for her. It's not just that she looks more professional in a regular uniform, she looks much more attractive too. It's baffling it took so long before they realized that. she did this panel years ago where she talked about that. she basically said that she had wanted a uniform for ages but they never made her one until that episode where jellicoe makes everyone smarten up and the costume department had to give her one, at which point everyone realized she looked way better in it and they stopped making her wear dresses so much

And, she also said that once her cleavage wasn't showing, Troi grew a brain and could suddenly teach Geordi and Data about the intricacies of Romulan engineering. Seriously.

Bridge Crew is so close to the perfect Star Trek. I hope they make a sequel that improves everything. I'm only a few episodes from finishing my first TNG watch. Going real slow through the last few of the final season. It really is clear how much they ran out of ideas with some of these episodes.

My friend is doing a TNG watch-thru. Today he said "Why does Crusher have such weird lovers?" And I said "Sub rosa?" He says "The one where her grandma dies and she falls in love with her ghost lover." "Sub rosa!!!" I can't stop laughing.

TNG: The Last Outpost - hard to believe anyone ever felt the Ferengi would make good antagonists. Basing an enemy race on greedy Wall Street traders/bankers wasn't necessarily a mistake, but they gotta have dignity. At the end of the episode when Riker and 'Portal' are strolling along the planet, they're just capering and dancing like play-starved cats. The next episode they appeared they were a lot more restrained and palatable. Meanwhile, on DS9: I love how affectionate Sisko is to Jake. You never saw Beverly Crusher kiss or hug Wesley, I think. I've become a lot more sentimental to this stuff after my dad died, the scene where Sisko overhears Jake teaching Nog to read got me misty-eyed. I accidently sat through the Storyteller, which may be the worst DS9 episode. Then I got to Duet, which I think I hadn't seen before (surely would've remembered), but which deserves its strong reputation. Much of that rests on Harris Yulin's performance, though. I sat up from the couch and said "holy poo poo, this guy's an actor", which is admittedly a bit unfair to the rest of the cast. edit: Harris, not Harry. davidspackage fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Mar 3, 2019 |

“Let He Who is Without Sin...” isn’t a good episode by any stretch, but it’s absolutely true to Worf’s character that he’s dumb and pissy enough to inadvertently hand over federation control of a planet to fundamentalist terrorists just because he thinks his friends are going soft and being dishonorable. This is a hill I’m willing to die on.

The DS9 scriptwriters wanted to deliberately make the bajorans nonhuman in their psychology, and them doing things like instantly submitting to their oppressive d'jarran caste system again are supposed to represent that.

Move Along Home or When Wishes Were Horses are worse than The Storyteller. It works for me because of the Bashir/O'Brien stuff, which at this point in the show isn't a thing yet.

Right, because humans would never submit to an oppressive social system because a religious leader told them to.

One of the worst things about DS9 Bad Episodes(TM) is that some of them have such great B plots, or little bits in them. No one likes Melora, but it also introduces one of the best characters in the history of Star Trek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3KqCeusyVE Meridian is an absolute stinker, but it's got Jeffery Combs buying porn off Quark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slw6_ldBJek As mentioned, Storyteller is bad but it introduces the best bromance on Star Trek. Do you want to sit through crap episodes or miss all that?

Epicurius posted:Right, because humans would never submit to an oppressive social system because a religious leader told them to. I think presenting non-human psychology in television is rather tricky in general and the fact that Bajorans are visually so close to humans probably doesn't help, even if I imagine they deliberately did their makeup design to make it easy to have a ton of Bajoran characters and extras.

Every Trek series needs a "best of the rest" compilation highlight reel for these b-plots and assorted moments. But I guess that's what YouTube is for, if you don't mind wildly varying capture quality, watermarks, useless title cards, stuff getting pulled down randomly, etc.

Robert Wolfe posted:It's [...] the first time in a while that you actually feel that the Bajorans are kind of alien rather than just being people with bumps on their heads. "The idea that a whole society would say, 'OK, I'm going to quit my job and do something completely different because this guy says I should,' makes them alien and not human. That was what we were going for.
