I wonder if there's a list out there that lets you watch all of Star Trek in universe chronological order. And I wonder if i'm dumb enough to do it, even suffer through DS9.

Well good news, your criminal disrespect towards DS9 means you are forbidden from even watching it, because you don’t deserve to

No Disco on it but I still think it follows the spirit. And it has the movies in it.

TOS is good. It's basically The Twilight Zone with recurring characters.

Yea after the 4th time some woman leans against something and looks up into the light on her face and whistfully talks about love out of 10 episodes i'm done. Skipped to the movies. The Motion Picture is still pretty drat bad, but I'd forgotten how the klingons were in this transitional phase from the barely changed TOS version and the death metal band version that is the one most people think of.

FunkyAl posted:Explain how 15 minutes of different cuts of the enterprise to orchestral music. 10 minutes of "cool effects" when going into v'ger and everyone's just standing around looking off into the distance. The hot chick has to have a friggin "oath of celibacy" on file before starting her work for some reason. Demoting the captain of the enterprise just so you can take over is very lovely and apparently the only person who cares is him.

CainFortea posted:15 minutes of different cuts of the enterprise to orchestral music. This is all stuff that functionally contributes to the drama. The girl is celibate because it's a story about a crazy space robot losing its cosmic virginity, Kirk is feeling old and impotent and wants to prove that he can keep up with the young new ship (woman) and his arc is the realization that he is acting lovely. The 15 minutes is to firmly establish the scale of the enterprise and how v'ger latre dwarfs it, and the cool visuals are just far out, man. You're supposed to be dumbstruck by its unknowability. What use, words! I do agree there are too many cuts back to sulu being amazed by the entity however. Loses some of its grandeur, but I mean they probably all had stipulations in their contract about how long they each must appear onscreen.

The 10 to 15 minutes I saw of the 1st motion picture were unimaginably boring, so I went and did something else. I was probably also 15. I have never been back.

And the implication (that I don't feel is supported by the movie but i'll go with it) that Kirk later learns he's being lovely doesn't mean anything considering my complaint was that no one else on the entire ship seems to give a poo poo that Kirk is being a huge dick to the captain/commander.

The entire movie, V'ger (and Spock) are searching for greater meaning outside the confines of their logical understanding. After Spock returns from his trip, he emphasizes that V'ger is "barren" and cannot understand simple human connection, and holds Kirk's hand. Meanwhile, the probe V'ger sends on board the enterprise takes the form of Decker's Extremely Unrequited (celibate) Love Ilia, in a sexy bathrobe, and attempts to communicate with it are largely fruitless until Decker engages her on an emotional level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2B90xlDcp4 At the end of the movie, the V'ger probe flat out refuses to be communicated to with a simple numerical sequence and fries the wire. The lighting on the set becomes totally red. Its question, "is there nothing more," is answered by boyfriend decker in the form of him and Ilia/V'ger embracing and causing a visual representation of an orgasm. Spock, Kirk and Bones then explicitly state that they have witnessed the creation of a new life form, Bones jokes about "delivering a baby." Whole thing's a statement on the mystery of love and creation. Also, Bones chews Kirk out to his face for being lovely to Decker.

I don't know what's worse, the idea that any kind of emotional connection has to be sexual in nature, or that orgasms look like silver confetti in a tornado booth.

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:is this statistically significant yet? seems decent but maybe a touch high even if you're just doing up through Enterprise and leaving out the current ones so as far as I can tell, from our objective method judging 14 episodes (counting the motion picture as 1 episode), we currently have a 95% confidence interval of the entirety of Star Trek being between 39.4% and 89.2% good (estimate 64.3%) we're a bit away from conclusive results quite yet

Started in on TNG, and I forgot how bad they were finding their way into their characters. Geordi goes Yeehaw. Data says a contraction. Picard forgets he's not Captain Bligh.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:It is boring as poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyndLFYWGok Spock enters V'ger is cooler than hell. I saw 2001 in 70mm incidentally and it ups your experience of the film, so the same is probably true of this one. You were supposed to go out with your wife and kids, relatively, and the whole family was supposed to get drunk and eat steaks and go see this movie like that. And then your father weeps at the sight of the star trek enterprise in big motion and sound effects and sign you kids up for space force and 1978's stem middle school The cinematography in early tng is better and more daring i think, than in the other seasons. I like the bugs.
