I'm guessing its supposed to be some jab at how may was "clinging onto power" but the star clearly has no honour, so who knows

MikeJF posted:I mean it kinda fits Geordi had a Galaxy. (And a Galaxy that's been kept up-to-date is still gonna be a top-tier ship in 20 years, how long did Excelsiors last for? And they'll still have a role Sovereigns can't fill for a bunch of things, given it's like twice the size.) Galaxy is cool, though my fave's always been the Connie refit from Treks I-VI...which also never got seen in any of the shows, come to think of it. That's neither here nor there, though. It was the fact that even when it would have made sense to see a Sov, like that ep, all the huge DS9 battles, that time when the Prometheus is being stolen and the Doctor has to steal it back, or even in the far future Enterprise ep where the Enterprise -J is there along with other older ships (like an Akira and a Prometheus) there's no Sovereign. Which is just a shame, really. I mean at least the Defiant showed up in First Contact, so it ins't as bad as the Netflix heroes getting locked outta the MCU films, but it still sucks.

If Bridge Commander is any indication the Sovereign is a nice design on paper but in practice it is horrendously power-inefficient and has more technical gremlins than the Defiant. Speaking of future designs though I did like the USS Rhode Island from the Endgame future being a refit of the Nova class.

McSpanky posted:Maybe Vulcan genes just express their phenotype much more strongly over the human genes, leading to a genetic hybrid that is nevertheless a biologically Vulcan entity in most practical respects. After all, Simon Tarses had a Romulan grandfather yet still looked about as Vulcan as Spock. Simon Tarses and that guy who shot himself in the foot with a phaser were oddly open and at peach with their fuckups. "I LIED on my starfleet application. I am WORSE THAN GARBAGE and UNTRUSTWORTHY." "I am a COWARD. I VIOLATED MY OATH. I deserve a BATLEH TO THE HEAD." Like it's very Roddenbery to see people talk like that.

The old Trek EU books were pretty good about all agreeing on some details, and one made sense: The E-E was only the second Sovereign class ever built. The only other one that was around in the Dominion War, the USS Sovereign, the books all ran with being Admiral Nechayev's flagship. They had the Prometheus be a similar deal. There's the prototype, and then the USS Cerberus that was Admiral Ross's flagship, and that's about it for that class that got built during the war itself.

I said come in! posted:A Galaxy class ship blew up in TNG too. One of my first memories of TNG when I was a kid was catching bits and pieces of "Cause and Effect" on a staticy 15 inch tv in a hospital waiting room when it first aired. I was so confused that they literally killed the entire cast and more confused as to why the network kept replaying their destruction over and over again.

He's making an educational youtube show about law for people interested in law and beginner law students and is using trial examples from popular culture to help teach the concepts used in modern US jurisprudence.

Data's sentience and humanity are treated synonymously throughout the episode the way Spock's emotions were treated as his humanity in TOS.

The movie Connie model was apparently a pain in the rear end to work with - it was bigger and heavier than any of the other studio models, it had internal lights that kept burning out, it had a reflective surface that looked cool as hell when lit perfectly and like garbage when it wasn't... so they avoided using it whenever possible. Both the Stargazer and the Bozeman were originally going to be refit-Connies, but the effects guys apparently found it easier to make new models for them than try and work with the existing one.

How hard is it for Starfleet to make a ship, though? They have literal magic machines to make parts on demand, instantly put them in the worksite, then move them around the site without having to touch them.

The law guy said that TNG did a great job with making the court scene realistic so I don't get the hate. He gave GOT Tyrion's court scene a pretty bad grade though that was meant to be a phony trial.

The whole point is to make amusing teaching aids for American lawyers in training, so it is always going come back to American law, even when it doesn't make sense. Like Westerosi law ain't built on the same foundations as American law, and even if Starfleet's military code of justice does resemble American law there's hundreds of years and several intervening nations (United Earth, Coalition of Planets, and then the Federation) to say nothing how integrating the Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellerite legal systems at the Coalition and Federation stages would have changed Starfleet's legal codes. But I find his analysis interesting nevertheless and quite enjoy his breakdowns, whether they're particularly relevant or not.

Astroman posted:The funniest thing about all that is in all my years of watching syndicated repeats in the 80s and 90s, they never actually showed any series out of order that I can recall. It was just easier to run them as they were. My station would do a thing where they reran TNG/DS9 S1-S7, and then after season 7 they'd do a couple theme weeks. Five ~time travel!~ eps, then alternate universes, Borg, stuff like that.

I just dredged my copy of Bridge Commander out of storage, so that’s a fun time coming soon. Also, I feel like if Voyager has been a Nova Class ship, I’d be a lot kinder to the series as a whole. The Intrepid class is fugly as sin. Goddamn space trowel with tiny nacelles.

I started to say that Voyager would look better with a definable engineering section and larger nacelles that rise above the saucer, but that’s literally the Nova class. Voyager really is hideous
