I can't remember - were the TNG ones specifically named as Trill? I could swear there's an early episode where an entirely unrelated species shows up with the same leopard spot markings as what were later Trill.

The Trill from DS9-onward reuse the makeup style worn by Famke Jenssen in The Perfect Mate, but she wasn’t a Trill in that episode. They tried the Odan style forehead piece on Terry Farrell at first, but Berman insisted they change it during the pilot’s production because he said it “made a pretty actress ugly” or something along those lines.

Oh cool I didn't know there was test footage available. Honestly that looks too indistinguishable from a human I can barely see the bump What would that guy on the disappearing planet have said instead of "Do your spots go all the way down?"

What would you prefer as an actor, sitting in makeup for however long that forehead piece took or getting the spots drawn on? I bet the spots would take longer but then you don't have to act with poo poo on your forehead. That's probably distracting.

I could have sworn she was also somewhat allergic to the material the head piece was made out of. Someone (Meaney?) was also allergic to the Klingon head and hated it.

Yeah she was allergic to the prosthetics because otherwise it would've made more sense for Dax to pose as a Klingon than O'Brien.

Star Trek: Beyond was fantastic and better than half of the original Star Trek movies. It's too bad it was the franchise fatigue second sequel instead of the first movie. The maneuver where they hid the ship in the plaza's pool and pulled it out at last second, so that Krall's ship could crash into it as Bones led him there, was really clever.

Yeah usually people are pretty decent about hiding spoilers or phrasing things vaguely, I've only ever avoided the "Modern" Trek thread on days Picard dropped until I could get my watch on, just because it was a wall of spoiler tags.

There are ways they could have done the ending to Picard that would have made it worthwhile and I think would have brought more closure to things, but they went a different direction that was very strange that I still don't know how to feel about.

Angry Salami posted:If you believe the thread, no good television's been made in decades, if ever. I dunno I posted in the thread about how good Punisher is. The premise is: Are you a Bad Enough Vigilante to. . . Assassinate the deputy director of the CIA for his war crimes in Afghanistan? Kudos to Marvel for daring to take Punisher in that direction. Let's see The Expanse is pretty good, first two seasons of Narcos were excellent. First season of Downtown Abby was quite good but they never really challenge or develop the characters IMO it became too much comfort food. Alex Trebek is alive and returning to Jeopardy! Of course there's always David Attenborough, may God protect him. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Apr 5, 2020 |

All the "good" parts are probably already on youtubeAngry Salami posted:If you believe the thread, no good television's been made in decades, if ever. I think part of the reason modern Trek stuff gets dunked on so harshly is that it's not the late 80s/early 90's anymore and Star Trek isn't basically the only game in town; it just sucks compared to many of it's contemporaries.

Look, CBS All Access is free for a month, everyone is on lockdown, and it's only 10 episodes. Translation: if you give any sort of poo poo about spoilers for the show, there's about as few as obstacles as possible in your way to rectifying that so do it or stop complaining. Also, I have no idea at all how you have escaped the major spoilers OUTSIDE of this thread by this point if any part of Google's algorithm knows you like Star Trek. FlamingLiberal posted:The season is just so jumbled. They burn 3 out of 10 episodes just getting Picard to the ship that is going to take him to the actual plot. Then they spent way, way too much time on the Borg Cube which ultimately has little involvement in the main story and feels like a side story that they just ran out of time to really do anything with. My thoughts are they should have used the 'fix anything' mcguffin to fix Picard's brain condition and then downloaded the latent Data copy into the golem. That would have addressed Spiner's aversion to playing the character as he ages (he already said he would be fine as coming back as Altan Soong) and given an in-universe reason for Data aging. It also would have given resonance to their conversation in the simulated universe. As it stood, Data essentially committed assisted suicide after being on life support for the past 18 years. Had he gone into the golem that aged naturally, he could have had an opportunity to experience morality as humans experience it while being able to connect with his "siblings" of the android society. This would have been especially sweet for Data since he's twice been given brothers that have let him down. That would have felt a lot more natural than "whoops, Picard is a synthetic now!" bull3964 fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Apr 5, 2020 |
