Let's see... excluding time-loop shenanigans (which would mean we'd have to list everyone on the Discovery and Enterprise-D multiple times), and also limiting it to main cast (so no Kai Opaka and no random TOS crew who the writers forgot were dead), here's the list off the top of my head of characters who've died and returned: Would Tuvok and Neelix both count since Tuvix considered himself a unique entity?

I was going to suggest the time Torres got sent to the Klingon boat hell, but I think maybe she was just in a coma or something

Powered Descent posted:Harry Kim (twice; first time revived by Doctor and second time replaced by a duplicate and no one even cared lol) They had some potential to play with this idea and have him be bothered by it at least and come to terms with it. If only Voyager wasn't the unflavored oatmeal series of Star Trek.

Some friends wanted to watch TNG and I joined in with them. I love that some friends who haven't watched any Trek before are clued into the tropes. On the first holodeck episode (The Big Goodbye) upon Mr Whalen showing up to the holodeck my friend pretty correctly guessed things would go badly for him.

I don't know if it was necessarily overacting, but Brooks clearly relished playing a Klingon in Apocalypse Rising and took to that role with his usual gusto. He actually made a pretty convincing Klingon.

A lot of great Sisko moments are quite poorly represented on Youtube — I couldn’t find him being the psycho killer Dax at all — but the Klingon cosplay episode’s got probably my favorite bit of Brooks yelling on the show https://youtu.be/nHIkMDgvZdo

I feel like it needs to be stated that Sisko as the previous Dax host was the 2nd take. Apparently the first take was so dark they told him he had to turn it down a bit.

Ironically as much as I love Brooks overacting or not even overacting and just getting into the role with a grin or a laugh, I think my favorite piece of Sisko is when Quark and Rom crawl into his office through the wall panel and his only response when they leave is just to look completely unsurprised by it all.

It’s that look where you can exactly tell he’s reconsidering every decision he’s made that led up to that point.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Section 31 is similar to the Mirror Universe: in small doses, it can be a very effective plot device. But the more the writers keep using it as a crutch, the more diluted and ridiculous the premise becomes until you get sick of seeing it. Is Crossover the one where they steal Sisko to build their own version of Defiant? That was the only MU episode I liked at all in DS9. I guess I did also like the first one or so where they had mirror Sisko, because it seemed like Avery let loose and really enjoyed being goofy af.

Crossover is the very first one where they establish the DS9 MU. Quark dies, Garak tries to betray the superintendent, Sisko and his crew rebel.

But it was nice to see Brooks let loose as "Captain Sisko" in the original.

And as for Section 31, in Disco they’re barely in the first season and associated with the secret fascist captain there. In season 2 they are the antagonists, and the two main members are an awful lying murderer and a former genocidal dictator. Our heroes hate it, and repeatedly shame Tyler for being a member, considering him to have disgraced himself by being joining. Section 31 built an AI which then was influenced by the group into deciding to kill all life in the galaxy. The AI takes over the organisation, kills almost everyone and then is itself destroyed by our heroes. The season ends with literally one person left in Section 31. But yeah, Discovery is pro-Section 31.

Comrade Fakename posted:Data died in Nemesis and is heavily implied to come back as B4. Ash is still a S31 believer and thinks it needs to exist though and so does Starfleet apparently. Most people in this thread hate the very idea that the Federation needs S31 to survive because its ideals are actually dumb and impossible.

The whole point of Star Trek is a world in which those ideals aren't dumb and impossible (and then 30 however many seasons of ignoring most of those ideals to poke space things with sticks) and it's part of my issue with Discovery, in that it feels like a modern day group of people got put on a Star Trek ship and filmed. Not that TOS-ENT were without interpersonal conflict by any means but Discovery just feels, juvenile.
