A fascinating thing about fanart is what's essentially style shift; the longer a certain fandom self-perpetuates, the more that fanartists are informed by one another and not the principal material.

Bogus Adventure posted:They really wanted Romulans to be a threat, but then they realized that dressing them in hotel quilts and Xtreem!!! shoulder pads made them look super lame. In TOS the clear villain was the Klingon Empire. Like there was no bones about it; The Federation and the Klingons were very much at odds and were fighting a lot. TNG had them at peace even though they still didn't really get along. Even then they very badly needed a new villain for the show. I feel like the show actually kind of suffered from not really having a Big Bad. For TOS they could just have some Klingons show up whenever they wanted some on screen punching. With TNG they originally intended for the Ferengi to be the Federation's main enemy until they realized that they weren't really all that threatening. I kind of feel like at that point they just kind of went "gently caress it, Romulans" as they couldn't exactly just throw away the Federation and the Klingons setting their differences aside enough to not be constantly shooting at each other. With DS9 it was the Cardassians and then the Dominion. Cleretic posted:Whoopi Goldberg is in more episodes of TNG than I ever expected. Which is to say, 'more than one'. The funny thing about that is that originally they had no intention on having any star that big on the show. The story is that Whoopi Goldberg called up Gene Roddenberry and said she wanted to be on Star Trek. He was like "well poo poo, I don't know, we might not be able to come up with something appropriate for somebody so famous." She pretty much just said that she had always loved Star Trek and dreamed about being on it and would take a role sweeping the floor in the background. So they said "well OK then, let us think up a good character" and came up with Guinan. ToxicSlurpee has a new favorite as of 17:00 on Jul 4, 2019 |

Q-Who Intruduces a major villain into the series and some of the incidental dialogue in S3 doesn't make sense without it. Unless you have it and Deja confused (Deja is S3). Also The Emissary introduces a minor character who's important for one of the regular's story arcs. Honestly most of S2 is pretty watchable though except the clipshow finale There's a decent guide here to what's worth skipping or watching, though I personally don't 100% agree with it.

Romulans and Borg were better than Roddenberry's plan of making the Ferengi into the new big bad. Nothing says "show supporting big bad species" like "literal loving space jew stereotype" right?

Mamkute posted:Both the Bachelor and the Bachelorette have exclusively strait contestants to avoid them smooching each other instead of competing. It's possible that some of the background characters are gay, I haven't seen the whole show. I also remember there being a lady who openly told the Bachelor she was bi in like the first episode of the American one 2-3 seasons ago. The Bachelor wannabe "Finding Prince Charming" supposedly had 1½ hookups behind the scenes which isn't really that much Apropos aging badly, they very quickly announced a second season of Finding Prince Charming and started polls for who should be the new Prince Charming. Then it came out that their lead had been a former racist prostitute with videos on the internet of him sucking semen out of condoms clients sent him. It's been 2½ years and LogoTv haven't said a peep about it since then. It left the show with half of an audience who were disappointed that he was so ashamed of his past (maybe present) work and that they would even want the gay show to fit into the same rigid box as The Bachelor. The other half angry that the first "gay Bachelor" wasn't as "wholesome and pure" as it's straight equivalents which is an absolutely insane notion. Like 92,99% of the Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants are raging sociopaths. They literally had a dude who was convicted of assaulting a woman and expected by law to register as a sex offender on a year ago. There's been a couple of "slip ups" like this in the Bachelor casting before but the internet has made it really obvious (they had a very racist Trump dude who was very vocal on twitter be a contestant for the first ever black Bachelorette) that they are willing to "overlook" that sort of stuff if it brings them some buzz and scandals to milk. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Sarcopenia posted:Australian Bachelor had two female contestants date afterwards and Vietnam had a woman leave to be with another woman who had already left. UnReal was a good show about the backstage drama on reality shows; I'm pretty sure it's still on but I haven't watched past the second season, which was not as good as the great first. It's one of those shows where everyone is a horrible person in their own unique way and you hate everyone but still want them to pull it off

Yeah, I can really get behind making Cardassians straight-up lizards. There was a bunch of stuff in DS9 that basically suggested that anyway.

Whoopi is a huge Star Trek fan, growing up watching it in the 1960s. IIRC, she said in an interview that after seeing Uhura on TV she ran over and told her mother, "There's a black lady on TV and she ain't no maid!"

Whoopi Goldberg wasn't just in TNG, she was in more episodes than any other credited guest star and Denise Crosby. She also returned for two of the movies, including a small but important role in Generations. It's quite likely nobody ever told you because anyone who knew it would assume you knew already.

I think you might be right. She's in a weird middle area between normal guest star and full-blown cast member, so I don't hear about her in the same space as Patrick Stewart, Wil Wheaton and Johnathan Frakes, but she was too standard to come up as 'hey, remember that Whoopi Goldberg episode'. The best comparison I can think of is Albert Brooks in The Simpsons. He's not part of the regular cast so he doesn't get mentioned with them, but he also turns up often enough that nobody just remembers his appearances as 'the Albert Brooks episode'.
