It's racism, Morty! They're a bunch of space racists, Morty! The Cardassians are *blluuup* a bunch of Nazis, *bllrrrup*, and Bajor is the Jews, Morty! The Maquis think they're like the french resistance but they're really a bunch of dumbass confederates! They're fighting for no reason over a dead past that always sucked and *blluuurrrp* and won't listen to anyone. They're all idiots, Morty! This is why you don't get involved in other people's problems, Morty! They're all racists and idiots *blluurrrrppp* fighting over something nobody *blurrrop* something nobody ever cared about. There are plenty of planets out there for everyone, Morty! But people are too attached to *blurrpp* to attached to meaningless things. Now hold these *bluurrp* these peppers for me Morty, we gotta get outta here! *Rick shoves a bag of Sisko's peppers into Morty's hands, opens dimensional portal as station security comes rounding the corner* I need these peppers for *blurrp* for szechuan sauce and I'm not gonna let some overgrown piece of jello stop me, Morty!

Whenever I think about the maquis for too long I get actually annoyed at these fictional yuppies who decided to start a war over a planet that, realistically, could not have been in Federation control until somewhat recently. I mean it was at the edge of Fed territory in the 24th century, so surely these douchebags are committing genocides over planets they’ve lived on for a hot minute and no longer. Just loving move you dorks. All the planets look like the Angeles National Forest anyways. Who cares?

Well, he just was not willing to do that.

The last two episodes of Discovery were good. I prefer the trill episode though. It has a serious problem with pacing, though. A lot of the episodes drag like hell for the first half and then are a hurricane for the second half. Case in point is the second episode. The plot doesn't move AT ALL from the previous episode until the midpoint or the third half, and then all the plot movement happens at once. They could have interspersed the character moments with the plot moments and had a better rounded episode that doesn't drag it's feet as much. I didn't like how quickly the admiral dropped his suspicions, like. He starts out deeply distrustful of them, then by the end of the episode he's like, well, okiedokie do whatever. They could have drawn that out over a few episodes and gone for more gradual pacing and it would have made a better arc, but could have also been boring as gently caress so, whatever. I don't see the problem with the Terrans being biologically evil since that's literally the entire point of the mirror universe. And having a misfolded protein that predisposes you to psychopathy isn't an inherently terrible explanation for the mirror universe as a whole imo. Also why the gently caress isn't discovery being sent out to repair the relays??? Communications should be the first priority so they can get a chance at rebuilding. Bahhhh. It has a lot of flaws at the moment, still. And the first few episodes of this season were pretty poo poo, but it does seem to be improving. alexandriao fucked around with this message at 07:34 on Nov 14, 2020 |

It kinda messes with the original idea of the mirror universe in that it's the road not taken, it's entirely something that humanity could become if we're not careful. It's our very real dark side taken form. Repairing the relays would be a good idea but there's thousands or tens of thousands of them, they probably need to rev up that project and get manufacturing ability and replacements. It wouldn't be interesting to see onscreen but if the writers were good they'd start off an episode with disco returning from repair missions and imply that that's happening and episodes are when something else more immediate comes up that needs spore jumping. (Along those same lines, I do hope the next episode starts after a minor time jump with the implication there's been refitting and analysing and tech-sharing) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Nov 14, 2020 |

Voyager shows us that the Maquis totally 100% suck and it's a massive question mark how anything gets done at all, because unless they're forced to behave like Starfleet they just fight and disobey orders and do nothing all day. B'Elanna shows up super late to work for a week straight, Chakotay's like "what gives?" She tells him she's been having dreams. But not nightmares, no. They're erotic dreams. She's been sleeping in past her shift start time every day because she wants to keep having sex dreams with the guy from Whose Line is it Anyway. She tells this to her direct supervisor. He agrees that this is a good reason to keep being late for work and fucks off to go be useless elsewhere.

Also I watched the episode where Kes is possessed by a raging warlord. Man, it made me wish they'd given Jennifer Lien a better character than perpetually doped up Neelix dater. She was a way better actress than the role usually let her be.

infernal machines posted:The what? You can split the episode into three parts. Unfortunately it was like 5am or something when I wrote that so I botched the sentence  if it was me i would simply correct the mistake by saying that you can split it into three parts each that can be split in two, so the third half is... no that doesn't work either MikeJF posted:[spoiler]It kinda messes with the original idea of the mirror universe in that it's the road not taken, it's entirely something that humanity could become if we're not careful. It's our very real dark side taken form. That's a fair point! Although they've already said about other physiological differences so it isn't that far removed from what's already been shown. MikeJF posted:Repairing the relays would be a good idea but there's thousands or tens of thousands of them, they probably need to rev up that project and get manufacturing ability and replacements. Discovery can get to them in five seconds, so it makes sense for it to be the priority. Also they seem to just be able to fix anything without needing stuff. MikeJF posted:
Yeah! Either that or show the last ten seconds of fixing one. It would be a good plot-mover, too. "USS Edinburgh just communicated through the newly opened comm link that they're in trouble!!" or whatever.

What? The same thing that would happen on any other ship: reprimand (official and unofficial), punitive work assignments, loss of privileges, the brig, etc. Of course she's stubborn, so maybe she'd just ignore all normal stuff, not do punitive assignments, and then you either don't have an engineer cause she's in the brig or you just deal with it I guess.

It would really fit the whole Voyager theme if they had a dedicated armed assault team of criminals and psychos.

I mean there's an ethical dilemma of what to do with any Marquis who just plain didn't want to work as a Starfleet crew and scrub power conduits or whatever, since, well, unlike the starfleet people they didn't sign up for this and basically slave-driving them to work would be super wrong. On a better show.
