No.


Is that Starfleet headdress given to Nog basically a standard issue codpiece?

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

First four episodes of Season 3 are decent. Just pretend it was a little self-contained 2-parter episode that ran weirdly 2 hours long and don't worry about anything else.

I watched the first season and swore it off then, I was then convinced to watch the very last episode of the most recent season and it was like gargling salted piss while being lost in the desert

There's no science fiction in this story, no wider issues or themes examined, and it doesn't even come off as a fun romp because it's so stupid and contrived and laser focused on reminding you of better shows

"Hi Everybody!"

... did they really just rip off the Death Star II core attack and call it done.

The Enterprise D isn't a Starfighter or the Falcon, Terry. It's a bigass ship that maneuvers like a brick on a good day.

Probably doesn't take much to pretend that the asteroid destroys the Shrike and thus the whole villain plot.

The cast takes Bev's reappearance to hang out, and Geordi shows them what he's been working on in the shop.

Can even put in a Captain's log montage with Riker saying that Beverly found a way to detect the remnant infiltrators.

fwiw apparently the entire production team and writers room went "Terry, please don't do this." and Terry replied "No." So they were forced to do it.

There was an inkling of an interesting idea there to do something interesting with the Ent-D being a museum piece made out of 50% structurally compromised starship hull, forced to kick some rear end one last time to save the day as the bolts and band aids holding the saucer section together come apart due to the strain of having to do literally anything

It was right there. It was right there, Terry

But no instead it was just a grown man bashing his old action figures together for 20 minutes, complete with the guy making all the sound effects and doing all the character's voices and using cuss words he isn't old enough to quite understand the context and meaning of yet

The Enterprise D is a luxurious command cruiser; it would only take 3 X-Wings equipped with proton torpedoes to take it out. You're loving up, Terry.

If the season ended with the aged, past her time, died violently once already, held together with space duct tape Enterprise-D literally flying apart at the seams in a final heroic sacrifice to save the Federation, every single person who cried and clapped and cummed over the "best Star Trek ever" would have instantly turned on the season and wrote it off as the worst piece of Trek media ever because it raped their childhoods and something something just shove in all the screamcrying over The Last Jedi and how Luke's heroic sacrifice and death somehow ruined his character forever.

People don't want actual storytelling, they want all the pop culture boo boos on their brains kissed and made better by mommy.

So exactly how much of Return of the Jedi did they rip off? Were there Ewoks?

Please tell me there were Ewoks.


Edit: Borgified Ewoks count.

I can picture the meeting for the Enterprise G in my head.

"I have an Enterprise I want to do"
"We already have one though"?
"I hate that one blow it up so we can use mine"
"But the next one is already planned"!
"Ugh... fine... blow that one up too then, so we can use mine"!
"But the letters"?
"There's still plenty left" :downs:

The slaloming through the Borg supercube is a job for the battle bridge and a saucer separation. But then it would just be the bit of the Enterprise that isn't actually the Enterprise and the whole point was to get them nostalgia hits of the crew being back on the main bridge.

Also, "Why am I sensing enjoyment?" is so drat dumb and forced and off character and people seem to love it. A simple fix would be to just make it "I'm sensing enjoyment."

Timby over in the TVIV threads has been dropping all sorts of deets from his connections inside the Modern Trek production world, and one of them was that the Enterprise's Death Star II run was all Terry's idea and he got in a literal shouting match with the writers room over it, then went behind their backs and pitched the idea directly to Alex Kurtzman and Kurtz went "Sounds awesome, Tony, I love it. Lock it in. ...Wait, WHO are you again?" And Terry went back to the writers room and was like "Suck my dick, plebs. ENTERPRISE-COASTER GOOOOOO!" and then ran around the room making whooshing noises or so I imagine at least.

Even if they were going to do a Death Star run they could've at least animated the ship as a massive thing struggling to make turns and tokyo drifting round corners.

gently caress even in Star Trek Online the Galaxy drifts and slides when you try to be maneuverable and feels massive because of it.

Hell, if you want to rip off something, the final battle in Battlestar Galactica's right there - Ram the saucer in to the cube while the shields get all shimmery and phasers fire randomly, go in on foot through Ten-Forward for nostalgia-bate, back out and run for it.

Ram a fleet of distracting shuttles out through the main shuttlebay door without even opening it.

Come to think of it, one of my biggest gripes with Picard S3 is that they bought back the Ent-D in CG and didn't even have the decency to give us a shot of shuttlebay one.
