For a show that thinks name dropping Episode titles of other Star Trek shows is a joke, it was a bit of whiplash for the joke this time to be the characters not getting that it was a Chang reference.

Shaxs yelling about the Pai Wraiths was incredible. When Mariner and Mariner were fighting on the bridge, and real Mariner had that pole in her hand, I was expecting someone to be impaled and have to pull themselves along the pole to give one last threat before the program ended.

Humerus posted:Mariner quoting Shakespeare is a nod to ST6 as well, except she quotes The Tempest (I'm trusting the XO here) instead of whatever Chang quotes (Macbeth?). Yeah, I caught that, too. Well, I mean, they lampshaded it because most people probably wouldn't have noticed quote from Tempest. Phylodox posted:I mean...it’s largely considered to be one of the best, if not the best, Star Trek films. Taste is subjective, though, of course. Ha. I must have missed the memo on that. For me, it's WoK, hands down. I think part of the problem is that I started seeing the movies in the theater starting with Search for Spock, but because the two movies were released fairly close together, I sometimes mix up Final Frontier and Undiscovered Country. I can't think of two consecutive Trek movies with such a disparate level of quality; FF is so horribly awful that it muddies my memory of UC. It would probably also mess with my recollection of Voyage Home, but that movie has such a different setting that it's just not possible. Now that I'm thinking about UC, yeah, it's great. But my memories of Final Frontier are seriously so malignant that I have to bend my mind hard toward Undiscovered Country to remember how good it is.

My first theatre Trek was UC and that is definitely my go-to memory for TOS movies Sure it's babby's first political metaphor but it WAS that for me and I love it forever

My first Star Trek movie was seeing Search for Spock at a drive-in theatre. I was five and terrified by the giant amoeba things and Spock’s gross pulsing Genesis face.

Cool ship. I wonder if it's just something she made up for the holodeck or that's what big Klingon ships are going to look like in this show.

I gotta say it's cool to see post-Nemesis designs and stuff. Oh also they should've had everyone in completely new and different uniforms, like they do in every movie.

That was a great Lower Decks episode, when they started rapidly spinning above the ship during the long approach i was in tears. Cautiously looking forward to Discovery returning later this month

Now that I think of it, the 8th episode of Lower Decks heavily referenced ST6 with the courtroom scene. It also had Kurtwood Smith, who played the Federation President in ST6.

Holy poo poo that was fantastic. I really hope the character development with Mariner keep. Though I kinda want Bromiler's discovery to only be a problem with him, and everyone else is like "yea we all know, its not a big deal. Wait you didn't know?" Parodies of the Trek films were so spot on. THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tarlibone posted:Thank you! God, that was killing me. In this time when media franchises drag on so long it's strange to think that the entire run of the TOS crew on screen from their premiere on TV to TUC was "only" 25 years. Hell, it was 12 years between TMP and TUC. If a 4th Kelvin timeline movie gets made that iteration of the movies will have been longer lasting than the TOS movies.

A.o.D. posted:So it turns out Ensign Fletcher, the fuckup from episode 6, wasn't a sudden addition from the episode. You can see him in the background of some of the earlier episodes, like Temporal Edict. Generally for an animated show like this you'd have a bunch of character sheets for backgrounders, so you don't have to come up with a new design every single time, you're just like "use background crew #34 here and #12 there". That also means that you end up with the effect of having a noticeable consistent population to the setting as a side effect - if you want to put the effort in, you can even divide them up into groups more likely to be in different areas or doing certain jobs. That also conveniently means that when you want a random-of-the-week person you can always pull an appropriate sheet from the roster to use for it and they'll have been there all along.

Like a poor marksman you keep missing the target. This doesnt really "Ensigns of Command", if you get my drift. Either it's a motif that the characters in the show have watched all of Star Trek or it isn't. You can't just flip between the two when you feel like it and it highlights the laziness of the writing.
