Maybe they stopped doing the saucer separation because the Enterprise D is already kind of dumb looking and it looks even dumber when it's just the lower half farting about

Bit of a tangent, but one thing Mass Effect mentions in the codex is that Krogan love american-rules football. You just know that's gotta be a real brutal sight to behold.

I remember reading somewhere that Patrick Stewart would drive the production staff crazy by saying "hey, this seems like a great time to separate the saucer. shouldn't we separate here, guys?" during shoots. Or maybe it was notes he'd send the writers after he read the script, I don't remember. I'm pretty sure there was just a litany of excuses not to use it: - it interrupts the flow of the story to have to shuffle the cast down to ~the battle bridge~ and to deal with the saucer - you have to dress the set for the battle bridge again (that set got reused for numerous other stuff, but they were obviously able to redo it for Best of Both Worlds) - i'd be willing to bet money that at some point the producers/writers came to just dislike the battle bridge set design altogether - you either have to re-use Encounter at Farpoint footage (which they did for The Arsenal of Freedom), Best of Both Worlds footage if it's season 4 or later, or you have to shoot new footage which can only ever maybe be re-used in future episodes where you separate the ship - after mid-third season they wanted to use the new four-foot shooting model because Image G couldn't handle the big six-footer (again, obviously they made an exception for BOBW) - if someone has to hit the bathroom mid-episode they might be extra confused if they come back and half the ship's missing

Oh dude it could be far worse than you think. The crew have to force an inherent suspension of disbelief to interact with the programs, and that poo poo is glitchy as hell. Imagine if actual people from that era had to live inside an ultra cliched period piece that was assembled from aging book libraries and cut and paste history collages, not to mention the quirks an eccentricities of other planets playing out against the memetic cultural fancies of an era. I think the whole thing would poo poo the bed pretty quickly tbh.

Mulaney Power Move posted:Harry Mudd was just a goofy swindler Harry Mudd was an absolutely terrible person. And you know what? In a real series that strives for the idea that society has changed to something for the better, *an absolutely terrible person* is enough for some real drama without their wanting to kill everybody or blow up the Universe or whatever the gently caress. The 'normal' terrible people in Twin Peaks were horrifying when they were at their darkest, just as much as the supernatural entities ever managed to be.

Just imagining a Galaxy class ship going through the five minute scene for detaching the saucer section only to have a jem 'hadaar ship fly right past the drive section and take out the saucer kamikaze style. O'Brian is aghast and asks why would they do it, then they beam over and shoot him in the shoulder.

Also I tried to re-watch TNG and bounced off Encounter At Farpoint so hard, and yet the second I tried with ‘Emissary’ I was like oh yeah, this is the stuff right here. I guess I’m on a DS9 kick for the next month.

The crew could've gotten super into it, to the point where the men start a fraternity and the women make a competing sorority. It would mostly be a vehicle for Seven to either comment on how stupid every aspect of it is or get way too into it when it comes to winning at drinking games. If nothing else it'd be better than the Irish village episodes.

Lon Suder is Cointreau, cloying if you have too much but man is Brad Dourif sweet when he shows up to play anything anywhere Seeks is Fireball, sounding good in theory but cheap and nasty, ruining a good time

Joe Carey is a bottle of Jägermeister. You buy into it early on and put it unopened in the freezer, then you forget it exists for seven years and then randomly pour yourself a shot, only to immediately throw away the rest of the bottle.
