They're going in there to get an intimate view of the Alaimo. They want to strip it down to its core and get hot and heavy with the Alaimo action

The actual answer is one of the writers, or producers, I forget which, was really into the Alamo. In fact, it's how Casey Biggs got hired, because he was in some stupid made-for-TV Alamo movie

I've been watching a bunch of Star Trek in airdate order, thanks to this handy list, starting with the TNG episode where Ro is introduced. I'd finished TNG a couple times before (once when i was eight and we had just bought a box set, once a few years later when I bounced around them randomly) but I'd never seen DS9 or Voyager. I am in love with DS9, and Voyager is pretty good as well. Watching them like this gives me both a bit of non-Ferengi comic relief, which is closer to emotional labor tbh, in the form of Voyager's more lighthearted episodes that feel like TNG with a bit more leeway in the universe. Though after several months of Cardassian architecture, and the more...grim? interior of Voyager compared to Enterprise when I was flipping through channels this morning and saw a TNG episode I was suddenly struck by how loving cozy that drat ship looks. There's colors! And lights that work! And the uniforms aren't so drat dark! The tone is so different but the shift was so gradual I hadn't really noticed.

BBC America airs Yovager reruns and it occurred to me that randomly putting on a Voyager episodes, on their own with not outside context. Most of the episodes have been ok (not good, not great but decent). But taken in totality on the show make them worse, it's kinda weird.

I've had the same reaction to more Voyager episodes than I thought possible due to this, but when a bad one comes up it makes it all the worse.

I skipped the three episodes in season 2 that are apparently nicknamed the trio of terror or something because I got through about 1 1/4 of them and did noit enjoy them at all. Other than those (and the warp 10 episode) all the others have at least been bearable watching them this way.

Of all the wildly hyperbolic and quite frequently oblique takes we get up to in here, that is the most direct and accurate one we've got.

the important thing is we need to keep our star trek jokes increasingly abstruse, weird, and insular. "weeaboo worf" has reached the casuals. it is not for us now.

Calling a character that was actually born as a member of an ethnic group and spent the earlier parts of his life being socialized into their culture a "weaboo" is the equivalent of calling a character who's actually Asian one. And I've seen that, a lot. The only thinking making doing it to Worf less offensive is that Klingons aren't real.

The quote in the episode referenced was referring to Jadzia not Worf

on the one hand, i'm glad this wasn't enough "worf/weeaboo" thing after all on the other hand, i'm disappointed by the continued Greatest Generation chat. :(

Worf's entire journey across two shows is his preconceived notion of what Klingon honor and empire are and the continual struggle to adapt and find his place within the reality that is a less-than-honorable and almost cowardly people he almost entirely can't identify with. I think it's apt, if broadly pithy and if we don't do that here I don't know what else we've made nearly 60K posts about. It's pretty clear no-one is being actually lovely about it in that way. E: Worf is practically DS9's Janeway in that his level of comfort with Klingon culture is dependent entirely on the story being told - with the exception of a couple episodes that have some definite, linear throughput on his status and positions - and he frequently vacillates between the Ur-Klingon and Weekend Klingon.

So much of Voyager is just overwhelmingly average that when you watch an episode in isolation you can assume it's a a mid/lower tier episode. Then you watch a bunch in a row and realise many of those episodes are meant to be the big ones.

Oh right this is the Voyager climate change episode which is now aggressively poignant. Also guest starring easy runners up in most terrible Trek alien design. E: Tom Paris also doing his best Kira on This Week In Terrorism Day impression. Orv fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Jun 11, 2019 |

Worf's story is essentially one of an "idealized" immigrant. Not quite fitting into his own culture, not quite completely fitting into Federation culture. He takes the parts of the cultures that speaks to him and it just happens to be the best parts which Picard points out. The honor of an idealized Klingon and the compassion of an idealized human. But he so far removed from Klingon culture as time goes out it's a culture that becomes increasingly foreign and almost unrecognizable. Honestly, it's why K'hyler and Ezri (and Riker to an extent) are good foils for Worf. They can point out the bullshit and he respects them enough to listen. Jadzia is almost the opposite, too blindly loyal to a culture she also barely understands.

Quentin Tarantino Confirms His Star Trek Movie Will Be Rated R https://comicbook.com/startrek/2019/06/11/star-trek-quentin-tarantino-movie-r-rated/ quote:Quentin Tarantino plans on making the Star Trek universe a little bloodier. Tarantino’s proposed Star Trek movie is still percolating at Paramount Pictures. Tarantino’s involvement comes with a certain expectation about the level of violence and language that will be in the film, both of which are uncharacteristic of past Star Trek movies. This has led to some speculation about whether his Star Trek film would be rated R.
