I like how in TNG they scan the atmospheric conditions of the planet after they beam down without protective suits and then slowly suffocate.

Is there a list of Trek books that were written as sequels to specific episodes?

The entire Enterprise relaunch begins with them explicitly stating that what we saw in These Are the Voyages was a Section 31 coverup and that it was all dumb bullshit to hide that Tucker’s death was staged so he could become a spy on Romulus.

Doesn't cover individual episode related books, but here's the flowchart that Trek Collective put together for most of the book series that were at least complete as of 2013. Star Trek Lit-verse also offers a more-updated guide to things like this. Basically the TNG "A Time To..." books are like an eighth season of TNG set between Insurrection and Nemesis, and then the Titan books like a Riker spin off TV show set after Nemesis.

FlamingLiberal posted:OK so this is the Millennium trilogy which is not part of the relaunch. This is a very minor quibble, but they're sort of relaunch? This might be a retcon thing, but I think the series is supposed to be the Prophets telling a story to explain the nature of time/reality to The Sisko after he joins the Celestial Temple at the end of What You Leave Behind. So it's an alternate reality that never really happens, but Sisko is aware of its events?

BonHair posted:I was under the impression that Trek EU is basically fanfiction, with very little editorial oversight or regard for continuity. That blurb confirms my impression pretty hard. Seriously, why would Picard even care about size? I read those as a teen! They're deliberately batshit insane but that blurb plays pretty hard and fast with the plot. Picard's quest is to build a massive ship capable of surviving a 17,000 year slingshot maneuver as part of a grand plan to go back in time and change the past to win the war without causing an alternate timeline (since that would be of no help to them in that timeline) by sending a ship back to a time where they could plant time bombs deep in ancient stable geological rocks deep under all of the enemy's critical facilities set to blow in the present after the ship slingshots back. By the time of the book Picard is deep in dementia but Nog is looking after him and running the project on his behalf. Doesn't work, they recover the wreck of the ship from ancient times and confirm it crashed on arrival, but it's implied that Picard, Vash and Nog survived and became preexisting ancient mythological figures in the bajoran religion. Like I said, it's deliberately batshit insane. At the end of the first book DS9 is destroyed when the red wormhole is opened inside it and the Defiant accidentally slingshots around the new wormhole as it opens while it's trying to escape and ends up in the bad future 25 years on, at the end of the second book the universe ends and the third book happens in a pocket of space-time inside the merged wormholes with transitory links back in time through which they work to avert the plot of the trilogy from happening.

Bridge Commander was set post-DS9, and there was a bit where a captain scolded a Ferengi and threatened to report him to Grand Nagus Rom. Shame it was just so darn boring. Bullbar posted:Why do I find Cardassian women so hot Why not.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:The hard part is probably not so much the space exteriors as it is the composite shots. Every time someone fires a phaser or beams down or whatever, someone at minimum has to re-composite those effects shots. Right, but that was also the case with TNG. I think the common wisdom is that DS9 would be harder because of the CGI space battles probably needing to be 100% redone. But it's probably not that much harder. The bigger problem is that the TNG remaster didn't necessarily pay off financially. So "not much harder than TNG" is still an obstacle for a less popular show.

Big Mean Jerk posted:The Iconian War was so boring but it was almost worth it just for that mission. That was after the iconian war was over, that was one of the missions from the DS9 expansion, which was the best story stuff the game's ever done before it suddenly wrapped up abruptly and then the game suddenly switched focus to boring discovery stuff in a move that totally wasn't studio mandated at all.

Okay, so in conclusion: 3 2 4 5 6 7 1 Most pleasant surprise: Half A Life. They gave Lwaxana a serious script for the first time and it really worked. Also one of the only episodes about an alien culture clash that ends without a sneering lecture about their moral inferiority from one of the bridge crew. Also young Michelle Forbes  Most disappointing 'good' episode: The Drumhead. When I posted about it at the time someone accurately summarised it as a 'well, fascism could never happen here' story. If TNG was a product of self-satisfied 90s end of history liberalism then this was the ideology at its most worst, the villain immediately implodes from Picard giving a single speech about inspirational values and her apparently snowballing witchhunt movement just turns to dust in the wind instantly, the power structures and underlying ideology of the Federation is never really examined let alone tested and everyone just gets back on with their lives having vanquished nationalist authoritarianism with a single bop on the nose from a rolled up newspaper

Half A Life is legit great and it sucks that it’s rarely ever brought up when people talk about the good TNG episodes.

I wish we could've seen Q gently caress with other species. I'm sure the Klingons would react well their race being put on trial. The Ferengi would find a way to bribe an omnipotent being. The closest we got was the two-man show De Lancie did with Nimoy where Spock out-logics Q.

I mean it’s an allegory, but even in-universe Picard didn’t foil her plans with a speech. She hosed up her own scheme by accidentally letting the mask drop for a second in front of the Admiralty and all her followers. She destroyed her own credibility by dropping that facade and making it clear it was all about her own personal issues, not preventing any actual threat. And it’s not just magically solved by the end of that scene, because in the epilogue Worf is still frustrated with his own actions and how easily he bought into her agenda. Picard doesn’t say “hey it’s all good we beat her and it’ll never happen again”, he says it can only be prevented by further vigilance. It’s a good episode, op.

It's also not magically solved because the officer who gets drumheaded (if you want to call it that) still has his career hosed over it, and they never pretend it's all forgiven for him.

My SO told me at some point in the last nine years they were interested in watching TNG, so we did, occasionally pausing just long enough for the Blu-rays to catch up, for episodes like "Yesterday's Enterprise". They skipped "Shades of Gray". Then we watched TOS with the original effects. Then all the movies. Then DS9 in step with Greatest Gen's schedule (except they missed Bariel dying and the Risa one, because we were busy those weekends or something). Also caught all of Picard and Lower Decks. We broke up Wednesday. Don't know when I'm going to watch the DS9 finale or listen to this week's Greatest Gen about it. These human emotions are highly illogical.
