The trouble is, the people who live in the cube will be under embargo by the United States, because they'll be... CUBAN!

Cube is a neat movie and I actually kind of like Hypercube as well. Much cornier but fun and weird

Just popping in because I found a fan website dedicated to the USS Crazy Horse: http://www.themareks.com/ch/ Haven't read the "stories set on the Crazy Horse" yet but I'm also far back at page 64 of this thread so see y'all in a bit

I wonder if it'll be a hellscape inside like Kowloon or some other, newer version of a hellscape. Probably hotter, I assume.

Powered Descent posted:A lot of chairs used on Star Trek, including a few Captain's chairs, are ordinary commercially-available chairs, sometimes modified a little but often just used as-is. I get the impression that they tended to be on the expensive side, though, and they'd probably be even more so now. But hey, they're the exact chairs that were used in the show.  Worf's ball tree was a chair!?

No that’s just an anatomically correct sculpture of Klingon genitalia.

Watching Time Squared in my rewatch and its hilarious to me that Picard just straight up murders himself at the end. Then we see a shot of O'brien there with a "What the fucccccccccck" look on his face.

I can see how the prop department on Star Trek took one look at that chair and bought it because it's so werid you can descirbe it as "cuting edge future aesthetic."

I forget, does he actually sit in the chair during Family, or is that just Dorn loving around in outtakes?

I'm rewatching deep space nine from the beginning for the first time in a while. The first couple of seasons are much more solid than I generally give them credit for. Everyone being super supportive of odo and his love for unsupervised use of policing power in whatever arbitrary way he wants has aged poorly to the point that it's funny though. Also, the way Kira responds to collaborators directly comparable to her later actions is also pretty good.

He's fiddling with his mustache right before they come in; the mirror is itself an interesting bit of furniture.

I can’t decide if that chair would be horrible to try and sit in or unexpectedly comfy.

You watched your captain vaporize a version of himself in cold blood, watched yourself blow up multiple times on a rickety space station, watched a cylon assassin version of yourself get phasered, spent years in a mind prison....

Huh, the Breen are mentioned as early as "Hero Worship" in TNG season 5, I had no idea they were a thing before DS9! Been slowly working my way through the blu-rays, and I'm in a stretch of episodes that are either new to me, or a bit too bland to remember from when they first aired. Next came "Violations," with Troi and other members of the crew (but especially Troi) getting mind raped. "The Masterpiece Society," surprisingly, focuses on Troi for the second episode in a row. She does a romance thing but thankfully avoids the "woman quits Starfleet for a love-interest-of-the-week" trope. Just a few eps away from "Cause & Effect," the first episode I ever watched!!  I know that episode's been brought up here before as possibly the ideal introduction to TNG. It's the kind of story that is arguably enhanced by having no familiarity with the show or characters.... basically the inverse of when dorks suggest "Far Beyond the Stars" or "In the Pale Moonlight" to a non-fan.

Cause and Effect is the episode I used to introduce Trek to one of my best friends like, 17 years ago and he’s arguably a bigger nerd now about the franchise than I am.
