Romulan whiskey's rhetorically risky. But Romulan ale would be yond the pale.

"It's impossible for the romulans to have more than one alcoholic drink" is a weird thing to nitpick

Calling one drink ale implies the existence of heavier, harder alcohols.

The_Doctor posted:Calling one drink ale implies the existence of heavier, harder alcohols. My headcanon for why Romulan ale (which as an ale can't really be on par with hard liquor in terms of alcohol by volume) is illegal is because the Romulans also spike it with some kind of psychoactive drug or something that, while relatively benign for Romulans, doesn't really agree well with the human liver. I base this solely on a recipe that I got from a fellow homebrewer who regularly makes Romulan ale with a hefty infusion of THC

Romulan Ale was illegal because there was a cold war analog at the time and they were like Cuban cigars. Eventually this was just kind of forgotten.

Maybe Romulan Ale is illegal specifically when it's aged in Romulan Whiskey barrels, lending it the trademark blue color

I want an episode where its revealed that the Romulans spend so much effort crafting their mysterious and secretive mystique because behind the scenes they're spending all their time brewing and getting tanked up on hard-core liquor. (I think its because Romulans are Vulcans-who-drink, and its established that Vulcans are on the Hardy end of the species scale so their liquor would presumably be more potent)

Astroman posted:Ron Tracey was a helluva character: Even if it doesn't always come through, I get the sense that character motivations were just discussed at far more depth and actors had far more discretion over portrayal than in modern Trek franchises. This is a depth of consideration from both the actor and the writers that I just can't picture going on behind the scenes at Picard or Discovery. I picture those meetings as a room of several dozen producers and their support staff combing over #startrek tweets.

Veotax posted:Also, actual clip from The Lower Decks That looks like some pretty high-budget animation and complicated effects considering how chintzy the character designs looked. It's a weird contrast. I wonder if there's some disconnect happening in there. It's not a bad first look, but I guess the real trick will be how well they pace it. I dunno if it'd fit the bill for people's expectations of "star trek". Trying to make things more animated seems like it'd take it away from that direction.

I know Worf is the first Klingon to serve in Starfleet and various people know about him, but is his whole "Honor honor honor!" spiel supposedly famous throughout the quadrant or something? Or is that reference a meta joke?

And one of the candidates for the leadership of the Council years before that, too. Then refused to kill the losing house in the Klingon Civil War in a big public ceremony. Worf should, really, be at least a minor celebrity/person of note, in both the Klingon Empire and Starfleet (for teaching classes on the civil war and current/recent Klingon geopolitics). Plus, you know, first Klingon in Starfleet.

Hannibal Rex posted:-Enterprise had one cool season, which is more than Voyager ever achieved. Voyager season 4 would like a word. In Enterprise, was Mayweather the pilot? I think in season 3 he had 3 lines. All he did was look intensely at consoles. They really just gave up on characterisation in that show.

It’s funny, but in season 4 it’s like they suddenly remembered Anthony Montgomery was still on the payroll and started giving him things to do. It’s a little jarring, actually. Also lmao at Twilight in season 3 where his only appearance is as a dead body due to him being killed within the first 15 seconds of the episode.
