V-Men posted:That's certainly Janeway's dilemma. She has to balance he needs of her crew and her ship with B'Lanna's needs. But it ultimately comes out to the crew's and ship's material needs (to have a chief engineer) versus B'Lanna's desire to not be treated using the research conducted by a war criminal. Meanwhile Janeway happily zips around in shuttles and goes on away missions even though she's the highest ranking Starfleet officer the entire quadrant.

If you question that you have to question why any bridge officer is on any away team. TNG at least had the idea that Riker would be an action man on away teams and Picard would stay on the ship and do his job, but that didn't hold. Even sending Riker is crazy, they have a crew of thousands on the Galaxy class, they don't have a specially trained away team?

But at least in the Alpha Quadrant that's somewhat excusable, but if Janeway dies arguably the whole crew is kind of screwed as she was holding the Maquis and Starfleet elements together. That there isn't a squad a marines on every ship doing away missions and security is also a little bizarre. Like, this is a universe with the transporter and people/entities can show up at any time. When humans went Warp 5 for the first time they got boarded almost immediately, so it's not some esoteric threat.

Most of the time in TNG, Data was usually the commander of the away team, if i remember right statistically.

I’m rewatching TNG for the first time since I was a little kid and picking it up after a break my next episode was Up the Long Ladder. Yuck! Okay I got to The Emissary and honestly K'Ehleyr may be my favourite guest star on star trek ever.

Trickjaw posted:Of course it will. I'd listen to Bob Justman first. Even the Justman / Solow book has a fair number of inaccuracies (I've been working on a long-form fact check of it for more than two years, one of these weeks or months I should really get around to finishing it), like claiming that Roddenberry screwing Courage out of royalties by writing lyrics to the TOS theme (true) resulted in Courage never working for Trek again (false; he composed a few hours of music for the third season and did some orchestration for Goldsmith's compositions for The Motion Picture). The really genuine and authoritative tome on Roddenberry is Gene Roddenberry: The Myth and the Man Behind Star Trek, by Joel Engel. It's been out of print for ages but can be found pretty cheaply on Amazon and other used book sites.

On one hand, there's nothing factually incorrect about this. On the other hand, there isn't another hand.

Who do you cast as Roddenberry in that hagiopic? My vote goes for Brendan Gleeson playing 80s Gene just so I can hear a proper Irish brogue for the “waves and waves of cum” line delivery.

Tom Hanks, that dude is scooping up every real person biopic role he can get these days whether he looks or sounds anything like the real thing or not. Bonus points if he can pull another Walt Disney and make Gene not look like a scummy flailing rear end in a top hat with his patented T.hanks charms.

Yeah I want to see Hanks doing scenes of the TNG writers room quote:Ira Steven Behr [on Roddenberry vetoing the original story for the TNG episode "Captain's Holiday," in which Picard vacations on Risa]: "He said, "There is no way we're doing this story. But, I like this idea of the pleasure planet [...] I want to see in the background women holding hands with other women, and men walking, holding hands with other men. In scenes in the background I want to see women kissing other women and men kissing other men, and then in the background I want to see orgies." "Orgies on Star Trek: The Next Generation?" "Yes, I want to see orgies. I want this to be an erotic episode where the captain gets to indulge his erotic nature."

There are some episodes in season 3 that should work but lack....something. Examples include Wink of an Eye and Cloud Minders, two episodes that have interesting premises but the execution falls flat. They were just running out of steam by the end of TOS' run.

The show was deliberately being squelched because it cost a lot and its ratings weren’t improving despite the obvious fanbase
