The episode where Riker goes to serve on the Klingon ship and before he goes he just chows the gently caress down on Klingon food is pretty peak Riker.

Tighclops posted:-saying he's going to be on the holodeck jacking off immediately after meeting the lady from GoldenEye All the ones mentioned are good, but this one makes me laugh whenever I think about it. You know the ship is in trouble when someone comes aboard and makes Riker so horny he literally has to announce he needs to jerk off as soon as they meet.

Johnathan Frakes is also probably the best director of Star Trek as well. He's directed like 21 episodes of Star Trek across the different series and he directed 2 movies.

I don't know if I'd call him best in terms of the film direction. He's certainly one of the most reliable, which is one reason he's extremely beloved by production and directs a lot. He gets things done smoothly and on-time and vibes well with casts and crew and production alike.

There’s a commentary track for that luddite colony episode of Discovery he directed. He and Anson Mount have a good laugh over it having been filmed at Ball’s Falls. “Balls Falls!!!”

LeVar Burton is underrated here. I think it would have to be Nicholas Meyer or Cliff Bole though.

I'm ignorant enough of the process of filmmaking to really appreciate what a director does. But I will say that bosses in most industries, not just showbiz, will happily pick someone who's "competent though not brilliant; will get the job done with no drama" over someone who's "an utter genius in the field but notoriously difficult to work with". And they aren't wrong to do so, most of the time.

Miles for some reason is aghast that Keiko is going to spend another 7 months on Bajor. That doesn't make sense.

Just watched, for the first time, the Voyager episode where Neelix dies, is resurrected, and discovers that his religion is a lie. That was a hoot.

MikeJF posted:I'll take bland as a cauliflower over every shot being dutch or doing backflips, though. I agree, but, for example, compare how many genuinely beautiful shots (that aren't VFX; I'm talking about actor blocking, camera positioning and movement) are in, say, Insurrection, or The Search for Spock, compared to The Final Frontier. Shatner blows away Frakes' work every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Frakes' work is the exact same as Nimoy's: Two-shots, wide coverage, close-ups, call it a day and everyone go home.

There's a reason it's great, and this clip isn't what you think it is. It's an analysis of a scene that's (imo) indicative of the whole movie regarding technique and attention to detail. https://youtu.be/Vbq9xy8aa0g Meyer, hands down for the movie side of things.

Honestly I'm not even sure how much of it was the writers' issues and how much of it was the simple fact that the way the Trek episode formula worked, they'd only do much with characters like Keiko when they needed to present a plot obstruction for a main like O'Brien. Especially as a recurring guest.

keiko's punitive dietary restrictions were really funny though. it's a way to make o'brien suffer that isn't quite so horrible as usual.

Especially as a recurring guest. I mean, it's more easily pinned on Moore, because you can see his purestrained writing of female characters on Battlestar Galactica and, for the most part, oof. And I get that DS9 was made in a different era of TV, so you have to examine it with a slightly different lens, but looking back in 2022 ... oof. It reminds me a lot of the venom directed towards Skyler White in Breaking Bad ten - thirteen years ago, who so many people hated just because she had the audacity to be actually horrified at her husband becoming a drug lord. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:keiko's punitive dietary restrictions were really funny though. it's a way to make o'brien suffer that isn't quite so horrible as usual. As someone who's 38 and was diagnosed as diabetic about two weeks ago (long family history, it was inevitable), I kind of chuckle now at bristling at new dietary guidelines, because I feel that pain.

you know how the ferengi are always all like "huuuuu monnnnnnn feeeeeeee maleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" but what happens if their language isnt the same amount of syllables like what if the word for 'female' is just one syllable does the universal translator project extra syllables onto peoples lips or something

The UTI makes you hallucinate a language you can understand. It's a brain implant that intercepts incoming perception stimuli and rewrites it before it reaches your consciousness. So yes, it makes you see extra mouth movements.

And I get that DS9 was made in a different era of TV, so you have to examine it with a slightly different lens, but looking back in 2022 ... oof. For me it's not just the relationship dynamics. There's that interview where he pouts about how he thought it was gonna be so cool to "just loving execute" Jadzia and it was going to be "brutal", but mean ol' Rick Berman wouldn't let him do it and insisted that she at least get to take a shot at Dukat, and... the funny thing is, Jadzia didn't fire a shot. She didn't even pull her phaser before she got zapped. But Moore was still so pissy that he got pushback on 'brutally executing' the character that he had to gripe about it, even though he mostly got his way in the end. There's at least one other interview where I remember he sneered about it being too much of a "heroic cliche" for the female character to go down swinging and I thought "...how often did that really happen in the series, though, Ron?" Behr's not innocent though; that dipshit thinks His Way is the bestest most romantic story told in all of Star Trek

Can I get some motivation to watch more Star Trek TOS. I've watched the first two episodes of the first series. Apparently Klingons don't turn up until episode 26! Apparently episode 10 (the corbomite maneuver) is supposed to be pretty good.
