Something that works in classic holodeck references would be fun. Moriarty? Or a Robert Picardo EMH cameo.

Barry Foster posted:Basically she likes and respects what she's seen of TNG, but it's maybe a bit too stuffy for her. So LDS is perfect for her. She likes the best part of TNG and though the stuffiness was there, for the time, it felt very right, I can't express it, but for other shows on and the general attitude, that militarism was very much in our culture.

Nullsmack posted:Hold up, what media did the fusion-driven warp bit come from? Sorry, missed this earlier. Not sure if it's ever been started in dialogue, but (aside from being said in tech manuals), just off the top of my head, the type six shuttle and a few other small/old ships are shown in close-up diagrams onscreen as being fusion-driven, we've been told by producers the Phoenix was fusion-driven, and it's the current interpretation of "their power is simple impulse" for the Romulan warbird in TOS: that they had impulse reactor driven warp engines. There are probably other bits I'm forgetting though. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Oct 15, 2021 |

MadScientistWorking posted:Was that a Star Fleet Battles reference or diddolphins appear in Star Trek in other places? Between Cetacean Ops and the close-up on the RCS thruster quad, and various other background bits, the show has an extremely strong "yes people working here have read the TNG tech manual, multiple times" vibe.

Wee Bairns posted:Of all the races they could chose to portray as a legitimate threat, the showrunners chose the Pakleds. And they've not only made it work, but have made it work well. I love that. Given how scared paramount is of mentioning anything in the post-DS9 era, it was probably the only species they were allowed to use. But they did a great job with em either way.

God those Belugas were amazing. I'm going to get that shirt, gently caress it. Genuinely sad it's a while before a new season but at least the Orville (which I think hits the same beats) is back in March.

This show is really good. I'm a bit worried about Manchurian candidate Rutherford because that seems like the sort of thing that is at risk of becoming dark and gritty nu-trek.

I just noticed how much Eugene Cordero keeps popping up in stuff I like. He's in Loki and main cast in Lower Decks, and I always loved him showing up in The Good Place. We just watched the Tacoma FD pilot and while it's not great, it's got more Eugene and two of the Super Troopers cast being essentially that but firemen. Someone get this guy on Doom Patrol, he'd be an amazing C-list DC hero/villain for that show.

Well the romulans used a trapped singularity somehow It really just needs LOTS OF POWER and m/am is one portable source of that. Voyager had those ring gates that pushed things at warp and Sisko SAILED at warp Probably someone someplace uses Omega particles or Q-nuts to warp

Barry Foster posted:That Cetacean Ops scene does suggest that the Cali class really is pretty big, I thought Apparently according to Word of God its designer, it's an Ambassador-class saucer that's had tugboat engines attached. But with oversized windows I guess. Maybe that's why the S2 model made the windows smaller.

I loved the finale. Thirsty dolphin officers? Nice. Secret almost-erased memory that will be a whole thing next season? Nicer. Near death experiences used as a callback to AKA (a. k. a. Almighty Koala Ascension)? Nicest.

In case anyone missed it, because it took me a second pass to pick up on it, but the joke with Tendi and Rutherford in the Jefferies Tube admitting to each other that they love the ship being a tease to people who ship them was excellent. "I know you're not supposed to get attached to your ship, but how can you not?" Still, that scene later where Rutherford was anxious about deleting his backup copies of his memories of Tendi feels like they're keeping that ball in the air, in case anyone felt cheated.

Very real chance that whatever remains of the fan community on Tumblr that didn't bail at the last buyout is currently embroiled in a bitter ship war thanks to all the Mariner/Jennifer stuff in this episode
