Pakled posted:Are all Romulans just Vulcans who've had a drug-induced psychosis that they're Roman senators? See, I always figured that the Romulans are the original Vulcans who escaped to exile, and the current Vulcans are actually the Vulcan version of Augments who took over and outcompeted the previous society. Like, what's the difference between them? Vulcans have more strength and more super-science engineering stuff, but naturally have wild emotions that are hard to control... just like human Augments do compared to normal humans.

The thing with Voyager is that there's just so much of it. 7 years worth of episodes and only about a dozen or so are really worth watching, and they're spaced out over the show's run. It never really gets consistently better or finds its footing, it just keeps going. By comparison ENT and STD's palpable desperation to find an audience can feel like something, at least, even if that feeling is like sandpaper to the balls.

Reading the wikipedia on the Vulcans confused me because it seemed that the Romulans were initially Vulcans that refused to follow the teachings of the first one to exert total control and so left to found their own Vulcan, with Blackjack and hookers, but clearly their emotions are only human level. Did Vulcan emotions just get worse over the centuries, or did the romulans just learn to chill out and reduce their emotions to human level?

Pick posted:Enterprise is the worst Star Trek show by loving leagues. Its only redeeming feature is it is purestrain fanservice for straight white men, which is only a redeeming feature to straight white men. If it were a person it would have voted for George W Bush, twice, but lied about that to its wife. also it would call its wife stupid, constantly, while she repeatedly catches it getting owned by obvious scams

Haven't watched enterprise myself, but it seems the main problem with it seems to be Archer's failure to realise that alien cultures aren't just like humans, or in some cases failing to empathise when they are. Like he cracks jokes about the Vulcan monastery but a human monastery has very similar rules so that's less human-vulcan relation problems and more human-being-an-rear end in a top hat problems. Also his total failure to listen to T-Pol about the vulcans without control that resulted in her getting raped because "They seem fine to me " because he doesn't realise Vulcan emotions are much more powerful and erratic than human emotions and therefore need to be kept in check. He's not just ethno-centric, he also lacks basic behavioural etiquette for interpersonal relationships even within his own species.

ENT would have been better with Captain Sterling Archer. At least then his incompetence and offensiveness would have been entertaining. (He also made the occasional half-hearted/assed attempt to better himself, while Jonathan Archer was a pompous and arrogant clenched rear end in a top hat all the way through.) VOY > ENT, anyway. Granted some of the characters were voids in uniform, but that's better than all of them, and we got the Doctor, Seven, Sarcastic Spock and Captain Psycho. (Have only watched one ep of DISCO, so can't really comment on it.)

One thing I actually like about "Enterprise" is how Archer is completely incompetent and only got his job because of who his dad is. Now, it doesn't make the show itself good, because why would you want someone like that as your lead in a serious show? But he's a loving idiot and gets owned all the time, and I kind of love it.

Why don't these fancy ships have basic safety features installed in case the computers go down? That way if disaster hits, there is an analog way out. TurboLifts go down? Take the stairs. You should never use any kind of lift in an emergency, and it just means everyone is hosed when the computer goes down. If Picard was stuck in an old fashioned lift, he'd be able to open a safety hatch and take a ladder. Even if the lifts work differently enough that that wouldn't work, find some kind of manual override way of doing things just in case.

I'm playing a Star Trek Adventures Campaign with my wife and a friend that takes place in the TOS era that has a bit of political intrigue and presents the Federation as being a bit more fractured. We've used some of the broad strokes from Enterprise for backstory and it's actually been pretty good. Like the idea of the Andorian-Vulcan War has actually been a cool piece of lore to play with even if the actual execution of the war on the show wasn't great. But to be fair, we've been playing it where the Vulcans border on bad guys. I was also watching "Liasons" as my wife begins to wrap up her Next Gen watch. It's one of those episodes that gets a bit sweaty in its sci-fi high concept, but it was interesting because of gender stuff. Picard multiple times gets kissed by a man posing as a woman, but there is also a part early on where Worf criticized the dress uniforms as being like a dress and Riker goes in on him for how outdated and sexist that thinking is. I know not making a big deal about kissing a man or the slightest implication that gender fluidity will be the norm aren't really Earth-shattering and Next Gen does have tons of issues with how it shows gender and sexuality... Still, I feel like rewatching it, there is this undercurrent of the federation being much more sexually progressive than they could really portray in the lates 80s and early 90s. It comes off in small moments like the men in skants early on or Crusher's issue with her Trill lover not being that they've become woman, but just that she can't keep up with someone capable of changing physical form. I guess what I'm getting at is that I would love a modern Star Trek to really pick up on that. It's cool that there is LGBT representation in the series now, but it would be nice to really show breaking free of puritanical sexual norms as part of the utopia the same way breaking free of borders, money, or religion were. To see the show really think of what is the 2019 version of Kirk kissing Uhura. Also, any modern depictions of Kirk where isn't pansexual isn't my Kirk.
