I'm just glad that the true king of tv Sci Fi, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, has no flaws or remakes and therefore remains pristine. Although I'm rather amazed there wasn't a terrible crossover novel with TNG or Voyager or something. I mean, there was an X-Men/Star Trek novel sold for actual money. E: Also did they ever explain how the gently caress to fly anything in Star Trek using those terrible consoles because that must be like driving with a keyboard in GTA which is absolutely haram Quicksilver6 fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 2, 2019 |

Nobody ever flies a ship or shuttle in Star Trek. They just tell the computer where they want to go. even when "good pilots" like Riker grab the MANUAL FLIGHT ROD that's all they're doing, they're just a little better at it

If they'd bought Thrustmaster they would have been fine. But no, they had to go with the Mad Catz Komputer Konsole

it's why they could let wesley pilot the ship sometimes. he wasn't really responsible for the lives of everyone on the ship, or much of anything really. the helmsman's sole duty is to punch in some commands that the computer then checks over and implements.

FuturePastNow posted:Nobody ever flies a ship or shuttle in Star Trek. They just tell the computer where they want to go. That's how real-life spaceships work too. Even in the moon landings 50 years ago, the control inputs went through the computer. The pilot had a little four-way control switch to adjust the landing aim point to given coordinates (as seen on window markings), and then on final approach, there was an up-down toggle switch that he could use to command the descent rate he wanted, and then the computer would adjust the engine power to make that happen. The control stick itself was the most manual part of the operation, but even those inputs went straight to the computer, which carried them out. Quite a few airplanes these days also have a computer between the pilot and the actual control surfaces. Occasionally that doesn't work out so well, e.g. the 737 MAX 8 computer insisting on diving straight into the ground. Even cars have elements of this design. Got anti-lock brakes or traction control? There's a computer that's deciding for you from moment to moment whether to actually apply the brakes or not, basing its judgement on its own sensors and its best guess of what you actually want when you slam on the brake pedal.

Drink-Mix Man posted:Come to think of it, the BSG ending does sound like something you would read in a making-of book as the insane original pitch that got rejected. I am glad I live in the universe when I can see one of those actually come to life. I'm reminded of how a pitch for a Superman story got rejected by editorial and later used as the otherwise mostly unrelated ending of Superman: Red Son.

Voyager. Was this Michael Piller's job? I was under the impression he's the one who kept track of poo poo for consistency. quote:Voyager lost approximately 16 shuttles. I say “approximately” because some of the destruction is open to interpretation. Let’s count by episode:

They keep coming up to the producers like "I really worked on Neelix's arch, it's the kind you wanna lick, sliirrrp" they're just "no one is loving asking for this, in fact we've requested repeatedly that you stop."

Enterprise is a testament to "We want to do something completely different with this franchise and not fall into the same old routines" and then giving up during pre-production. Oh wait, that's also Voyager.
