Maximum viable size of unbroken pane in front of the pilot chair and the rest is to support that, I guess? Dunno, though. I know the interior set was designed first and then Sternbach fitted the exterior design to the cockpit after it was made, so I guess it came from the set designers.

Powered Descent posted:I forget, did they ever explain the weird front window on the Delta Flyer? It wouldn't look out of place on a Gothic church. Probably reinforcing since it was designed to fly into a gas giant. Plus Tom wanted to put fins etc on it to make it look cooler so I wouldn't be surprised if he just wanted it to look that way.

The best Greatest Gen episode is where they reviewed The Visitor, and it was just them making terrible Bill Cosby jokes and convincing themselves they were going to lose all of their listeners over it.

curiousTerminal posted:These are the same people who build ships with gigantic pits that people aren't supposed to go into, yet still have gravity. No guardrails or forcefields for safety, with high stacked cargo. Absolutely no kind of authorization required to enter the shuttle bay, a shuttle, or to have it take off (a simple "someone has launched a shuttle" notice on the bridge is all you get). Nothing stopping a random schmo from replicating a gun in their guest quarters. Every object explodes at all times, yet the uniforms aren't flame retardant, and no safety gear is required to operate anything. The person with tactical information, defensive functions, and weapons capability isn't even granted a drat chair when their job is the most important during things that cause the ship to rock violently back and forth. gently caress, not even some kind of biometric scan required for any kind of captain-only command such as self destruct, which can kill hundreds, even thousands of people, you could initiate it with a sufficient sentence mix of the captain's voice. I love this post. FlamingLiberal posted:Imagine opening TNG Season 2 with that instead of with the episode where Deanna Troi gets to give birth to an energy being child Just watched this episode now. The Energy Child wanted to learn stuff, did for like 2 days, then left. That was the entire episode. I don't think there was a point or that anyone learned anything in the end. They spent more time explaining how this virus containment system worked than on the energy child. Worf and some security team people were there for the birth. Worf vs a Baby would have been a good fight. Also, Picard has never hung out with puppies? What the gently caress Jean Luc. And this new Doctor is really racist against Data.

Imagine going to parties and telling ladies a story that starts with "my mother died when I was young" and ends with "so now I'm prince of the Klingon empire." Too bad nobody in Star Trek has sex except androids and ghosts.

Watching the TOS episode "The Changeling" where Spock describes the probe they encounter as having "weight: 500 kilograms, shape: roughly cylindrical, length: a fraction over 1 meter" and my girlfriend looks up from her cell phone long enough to quip "sounds like a star trek fan".

Watches A Matter of Perspective yesterday and really struggling to understand why they included the rape subplot considering it gets completely dropped and Troi confirmed the wife wasn't lying from her perspective. Just a completely inexplicable inclusion that paints Riker as an oblivious sex pest then drops the thread entirely

Actually I think the only of the main TNG cast that didn’t gently caress at some point was Geordi. Hell, pretty sure Wesley was banging Lefler.

In the episode where her memory of an encounter with Riker turns non consensual while alien villain of the week enters her dream, it is not entirely clear whether the alien is causing that memory to change or just forcing her to relive a real memory.

They either split up or he died or something. I choose to believe that it turns out she had some sort of kink that made her into the holo-Brahms after she thought about it for a while. Also, no way Lefler was actually into Wesley. She was stringing him along.
