Something I'm liking about Janeway so far, at least in the first season, is that she's kind of trying to be the Captain Mom type simply because they are all stuck there in the middle of nowhere for possibly their entire lives and she's just trying to forge bonds with people to help them cope. Little moments like her geeking out with Torres about how to solve the tech problem when she is considering who to make Chief Engineer early on, or her and Chakotay chatting on the bridge about spirit guides, help that idea nicely. Her catchphrase is less "Engage" or "Get it done" but more often "Let's try it." And when I say Captain Mom I don't mean it in the Dr Crusher way, it's more that she knows she needs to hold things together herself and help the crews start to form bonds with each other.

Pick posted:Tos: golden age sci fi Voyager is ultra dotcom-boom, like arguably one of the most important two-parters of the show (where the doctor gets his ~mobile emitter~) is dominated by some tech company CEO, the ship's captain is obsessed with coffee, and there's even a whole loving episode about a roving band of super-intelligent consultants in space.

Of course, Seska's a cardassian. No wonder she's so chaotic evil for no real reason.

But nothing they'd ever come up with before then was remotely that dumb. Plus the acting in the whole scene is so godawful.

Is What We Left Behind available anywhere at all? There was no theatrical release around me and I only see listings for it being sold on DVD and Blu-Ray. I haven't had an optical drive in like a decade. Can't find it on The Internet either.

I saw it, and first thing you notice is boy did they get old or what? Some other stuff: it starts off with none other than Andrew Robinson in an ill fitting suit introducing the rest of the documentary, no makeup but slyly acting a little like Garak the big battle redone in HD is super gorgeous some of the actors are somewhat upset over being 'the middle child' Trek Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Aug 3, 2019 |

Binary Badger posted:some of the actors are somewhat upset over being 'the middle child' Trek I would be too. I saw this timeline the other day:  I never realized that DS9 only had one season to stand on its own as the sole Trek show (or that there was only an 8 month gap between the end of TNG and the start of VOY.) The first season gets overshadowed by the wildly popular TNG and then once DS9 is hitting its stride, here comes the new hotness.

I didn't realize Enterprise and DS9 were so close, I think of Enterprise happening a year or two after Voyager finished.

Yes and when Voyager started production it got almost all of the attention from the Paramount higher-ups since it was going to be the main draw of UPN Also Berman and Co did not really understand what Behr and Piller were doing with DS9

Now I'm reminded of the BBC America commercial that ran through all of Voyager's treknobabble in like 30 seconds, interrupted at one point by Chakotay's "Now let me get this straight."

I don’t know if it’s just the “backer’s edition” copy but the Blu-ray of What We Left Behind I just got has a much better cover than the one you usually see. Instead of Behr doing the whole hand pose thing it’s a shot of Sisko’s baseball on his desk in front of his computer screen. The back of the insert is a not great but not terrible cartoon drawing of Sisko standing in front of his office window looking... contemplatively tired? Hard to say. In any case it’s a much better cover than I was expecting.

8 episodes into a watch through of TOS and holy moly do the 1960's and Gene Roddenberry combine to make some cringe worthy scenes. Also I love that they come across an exact replica of Earth with the same continents and everything and no one really seems to give a poo poo about how or why it's there.

Hold up, hold up. Odo is effectively only 11 years old at the start of DS9?! He doesn’t remember anything before the Bajorans found him, so he’s only experienced eleven years of life. Jake Sisko is older than him! Comrade Fakename fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Aug 3, 2019 |
