I really wish Trek had more random lower level characters, much like the above mentioned Barceley. DS9 had a whole cadre of characters, but it always felt like there were maybe 10 Star Fleets on the station ever. It would have been interesting to see more really low level guys cycle through. jeeves fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jul 15, 2019 |

In the Time's Arrow 2-parter, Picard totally just tried to sound like he knew what Data was talking about : Data: "My brother's positronic brain has a Type-L Phase Emitter, while I have a type-R" Picard, in a conspicuously surprised sounding tone: "Type R?" He totally interjected as if he knew what that meant while having no idea why it was relevant. It's the equivalent of a plumber and astrophysicist talking, and at one point the plumber just blurts out "Oh yes, of course Quarks would do that..."

Did he just see a bunch of forcefields and treadmills and wireframe people?

Maybe the holodeck has a Geordi Mode in which things are tuned to work better in VISOR vision, and which to everyone else appears like a swirling eldritch horror.

I always thought it was stupid that the VISOR made it look like you saw in oil-in-water swirl cycled through TV static vision. He should have had...you know...human-type visuals. Except, to make the VISOR cool and good, add special engineering modes he could switch on and off.

Giving Geordi some innate edge over a normal engineer would have been cool and distinctive, but I can’t even remember a single time the show highlighted Geordi’s engineering abilities as anything more than average. They always just had Wesley or Data puzzle things out. Shame, they shoulda just kept him as the Helm officer and found some 8th regular (but not Argyle) for engineer.

I always thought that was stupid, too. There's no reason he couldn't have had normal vision, with fancy modes he could turn on and off at will. There was an episode where he was on an away mission to a derelict ship or something, and they were piping what he was seeing to the viewscreen. Picard was like "wtfb how can you make any sense out of that poo poo" and he was like "you get used to it" which doesn't even make any sense because it's all he's ever known.

Hipster_Doofus posted:There's so much gold from TOS and TNG they could be mining instead of stupid prequels featuring *~~ It's interesting, in the 90s they clearly were trying to expand the Trek universe, DS9's premise being "We have perpetual access to the Gamma Quadrant, and we're focusing heavily on a pair of societies we haven't really done too much with yet" and Voyager being "We're exploring The Literal Entire Delta Quadrant" and ever since it seems like nobody currently running the show knows what to do with all of that. Two prequels, and nothing (until now) set after the 2370s. We've been stuck in the Alpha Quadrant since 2001, despite having 3/4 of the galaxy to work with. jeeves posted:edit - She even admitted that "for a bad episode" it was no where near as bad as anything in S1 TNG. Of course I didn't spring Meridian or crossdressing Quark on her, as I would rather not get murdered in my sleep. Crossdressing Quark is the only episode of DS9 that I skipped. I already don't like the Ferengi, so Ferengi episodes were torturous for me. Add in transphobia to an already misogynist, vaguely antisemitic "comic relief" species that I despise and you have the perfect recipe for an episode designed to piss me off.

To be fair, that episode was in the first season and I don't think how Geordi sees was ever really brought up again in TNG. I kind of figured that he did have normal vision with overlays for different things that were controllable. Wasn't there a scene in First Contact where Geordi is tracking Zefram Cochrane with heat vision and that was a special mode for his eyes?

Picard asked Geordi to take a look at an alien ship though the windows because the sensors weren't giving them much. There was "The Mind's Eye" where he was brainwashed. There was "The Enemy" where he could see the beacon. There was "The Masterpiece Society" where he could tell that there actually wasn't a fracture in the biosphere.
