So I finished both parts of Redemption earlier today, I forgot how much I enjoy Gowron as a character. It says a lot about Robert O'Reilly's performance that even in full make up you are always looking at his eyes not the forehead. And it is really entertaining to watch Gowron's mood constantly shifting from angry drunk and to happy drunk during conversations and it really comes through in his body language and the tone of his voice, which does some much to distinguish Gowron from the Viking/Bushido/Biker that most actors play when they are cast as Klingons.

Robert O'Reilly wanted everyone to truly experience Bij, and we are all better for it as a result.

The Noodle Incident posted:Clearly the answer is Tuvix wants to live, so you take that as one vote for him, then ask Tuvok and Neelix after they have been split. Tuvok would agree that it makes more logical sense to have Tuvix and would probably die to kill Neelix, so that's two out of three votes for Tuvix and they just need to recombine them. Then just start combining other crewmembers at random to save on supplies. Imagine being the poor bastard selected for combination with Harry.

Also took the Enterprise vs two Warbirds from "how'd you like to die today?" to "Tomalak will remember you've done this" It is funny though how when Picard is asked to choose the next Klingon leader Worf (eventually) kills both of them and installs someone more worthy.

Besides, can you imagine if Picard would have picked anyone other than the two finalists? They had a civil war just because Picard didn't give the position to a dead guy's illegitimate tween.

Rewatched a few TOS season 3 episodes, and with hindsight it's interesting to see how Roddenberry's desire to make the crew interactions more realistically formal and military (after S2 loosened things up far more than he liked) made the show stiff and impersonal in a way the franchise never would go again. TV viewers would far rather watch a workplace family than a group of stern professionals, who knew?

Some of the scripts are decent on paper, but they didn't have the money to flesh out what was planned.

And, yes, the budget was very severely cut. In Inside Star Trek, Bob Justman says, "We almost had the money to do a really good radio show."

I'm watching Voyager for the first time since it originally aired. Caretaker wasn't too bad, but painfully 90s at times. Sadly a character from another Trek show was the best part of the episode. One thing that really stuck out to me was Paris making weird "Indian" jokes about Chakotay at the end. Like if he saves his life he owes him a blood debt. Then he asks him if he knows any Indian tricks like turning into a bird. What the actual gently caress Voyager writers.

If you weren’t aware Voyager hired a Native American advisor who was very much not an actual Native American as an advisor for Chakotay’s character. Though that likely wasn’t the only problem.

It's so loving dumb that there was literally zero issue with them all putting on starfleet uniforms and obeying orders. 3rd episode had an alien clock that uses Arabic numerals. I already hate Neelix, he's just completely useless and obnoxious. Honestly this is just making me want to rewatch DS9.

Payndz posted:Why not just keep going? Combine Janeweven and Pim to make Jevim, etc. Eventually you end up combining every member of the crew* into one body. Stick 'em in a stasis pod in a chamber made of whatever the hell material they used to block a multi-megaton antimatter explosion six feet away in Discovery, stick holo-emitters in strategic rooms and have emergency holograms run everything, then run like poo poo for the Alpha Quadrant. In all fairness, this is a pretty good episode of Voyager. The one where Seven and the Doctor basically run the ship because they're running through some kind nebula that would instakill everyone and somehow Voyager has enough stasis pods for everyone on board.

Yeah, it was some radioactive stretch of space that would kill all organic life and Seven could deal with it because of her Borg implants. Everybody else went nighty night.

I just realized ENT re-used this idea, right down to the ship's doctor and "sex-appeal" character being the two left running the ship. Only with a kind-of-great twist that it was only the doctor the whole time.
