Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i thought the voyager scene was talking about the maquis world(s) getting clobbered, not the cardassians. what was the name of the voyager episode? (i understand this is difficult as the overwhelming majority of voyager episode titles are utterly perfunctory) It was the episode where they got letters from home via the link they'd established with starfleet. Chakotay and Torres got word about the Dominion slaughtering the Maquis and Torres got depressed. Episode name is "Hunters." People make fun of DS9 for having long poetic names for episodes but at least they are relevant to the story and not one word nothings.

Mulaney Power Move posted:hey what does "polarize the hull" mean in enterprise Glad you asked! Since all the aliens use beam weapons, they just made the hulls out of transparent aluminum and then polarized it so a fraction of the light would pass through. The aliens keep changing the polarity of their beams so they have to keep changing the degree of polarization in response. hth

Didn't realize until tonight that Famke Janssen (AKA Jean Grey) was the lady in "The Perfect Mate" in the proto-Dax makeup who gives every male on the Enterprise except Data a boner. Also it's striking how much Daisy Ridley looks like young Famke.

Polarised hull plating was based on some fancy-schmancy new materials the US army was researching at the time where when exposed to a polarised EM field they'd become a bunch tougher.

Last night my sister and I watched Rejoined and Starship Down. From the summary of Rejoined I was expecting a boring Trill politics episode but I was surprised to find out it was more of a lesbian romance thing that only barely dipped into Trill culture and when it did, it stuck to what, to me, is the more interesting part of it, the reverence they give to the symbionts and how their culture is shaped around the mission of giving them as many new and different experiences as possible. Terry Farrell wasn't great at playing the teary-eyed heartbreak she really needed to get across, unfortunately. Starship Down was fine. It's Disaster but not quite as good. All the individual bits were fine but they didn't really feel like they came together, and we still haven't had nearly as much time with the Defiant as we had with the Enterprise when Disaster aired, so there isn't as much attachment to the ship or as solid of a sense of place. Some nice personal development for the cast, a fair bit of airing out things that needed to be said, but all occurring inside little bubbles. Quark's subplot felt especially tacked on, like the writers couldn't figure out how to get the Defiant out here without bringing him along but struggled to find much for him to do.

Speaking of the Defiant -- why hasn't the Federation copied Romulan (or Klingon) cloaking technology on all their ships? One reason I've heard is that such a device would only be useful for war, and so the ostensibly peace-minded Federation would think would send the wrong signals. But surely a cloaking device would be extremely useful even on a peaceful civilian science vessel given the prime directive of not interfering in other species' development? Another argument is that it was possibly a condition of their treaty with the Romulans and/or Klingons. But now that Romulus has been destroyed, and the Klingons and Federation are (or have been) allies?

I've watched too much star trek and now I've noticed that the musical theme for Timothy during Hero Worship in TNG was reused in the DS9 episode Equilibrium for the piano theme Joran Dax played.

Imagined posted:Speaking of the Defiant -- why hasn't the Federation copied Romulan (or Klingon) cloaking technology on all their ships? In universe: it's because the Federation agreed not to develop cloaking tech as part of a peace treaty signed with the Romulans in the early 24th century. Main episode to watch regarding this is "The Pegasus" from TNG season 7. Production reason: because spaceships look cool and you wanna show them off on TV

Cloaking shoulda been a sensor trick and not the ship actually turning invisible or "going out of phase" or whatever
