I took a peek at the Star Trek thread in TVIV and they were raving about the latest episode of Star Trek Prodigy. From their description it was a bunch of 'remember this' poo poo, so I had to check it out of curiosity.

It was insultingly bad. The episodes A plot is the captain kid takes the Kobayashi Maru test. The simulation puts him on the bridge of the Enterprise-D (or at least another Galaxy class ship), for the crew, the simulation has him pick characters from the database. He picks Crusher, Uhura, Scotty, Spock, and...Odo?

Why Odo I have no clue because he has zero starship combat knowledge.

Anyway, the insulting part is that aside from Crusher, they just recycled audio clips from those characters. I guess McFadden did the voice work. But the others is just awful because they're saying all these lines that you heard in different episodes in a totally different context. It's almost as bad as Tarkin-ing someone.


I shouldn't be surprised that the Trek thread would be into a kids show, but holy gently caress that was awful.

If it's supposed to be a computer simulation of those characters this isn't a bad way to do it. They would sound weird and artificial.

Also the kid doesn’t pick those characters he just tells the computer “Give me the best”

Why would the computer even think to have an officer of the Bajoran Militia who has never served in star fleet or even ever been a citizen of the federation?

Nah. It sounds awful when they speak because you know it’s out of context lines from the other tv shows or movies. Just get some voice actors that sound alike. It’s not like they’ve been afraid to do this, or even re-casting characters before.

In some sense the computer is right though, odo is the best. Perhaps not in a starship combat sense, but in a more general sense

Anyone ever see this movie?


It was released in 1999 and takes place in NYC on NYE 1981.

I caught it on cable a few times 20 years ago and really liked it. But it's been impossible to find for a while. Apparently it's legally tied up because of soundtrack and music licensing issues like the Wonder Years TV show was for many years.

It makes less sense than a kid from the Delta Quadrant knowing who Dr Crusher is? No it makes more sense, but fair enough if you don’t think she or Odo or whoever are “the best”

except the star trak computers are so powerful they can create sentient ai from a novel. theres hundreds of examples of the computers making totally seamless simulations of people with natural speech patterns and stuff. essentially everyone who speaks ever is translated automagically by the computers too

Hey now Royal Space Force is 99 percent a loving great movie that nearly gets derailed by one of the most extremely out of place attempted rape scenes I have ever witnessed in film.

I think that's Studio Ghibli's whole schtick. The only anime that isn't just an excuse to look at doodles of rape.

Watch his buddy Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies and then get mad when you discover he changed the original autobiography so the protagonist also dies as a means to tell 80s Japanese delinquents to stop disrespecting their dead parents.

Always found that hosed up that he turned one man's horrible life experience into a guilt trip for biker gangs.

I love Spirited Away mostly because it is loving gorgeous and has this weird dream logic going on that makes you feel like you’re stoned. The soundtrack is aces too. Miyazaki is the GOAT tho I enjoy all his flicks.
