i had forgotten that the premise is that it's just normal human evolution sped way up, so canonically in star trek humans will eventually become horny salamanders pretty sure they dont show this in the far future on discovery

To be fair humans live on a bajillion planets now, there's probably one planet of losers who degrades into a salamander.

According to braga he was trying to do something with the whole "evolution isn't necessarily always 'upwards', it's just adapting to a niche and can go all over the place", but he admits he didn't make it work.

A man in an oxygen environmental becoming intolerent of oxygen is incredibly dumb even on those terms. I think the episode wouldbhave worked better if they'd just dropped the evolution angle altogether and it was just out of control mutation caused by humanity crossing a barrier they were not meant to cross or whatever

Honestly, if you massage the script just a little bit in key places it'd probably be considered a pretty drat good one.

Personally I cannot wait to become salamanderized. Voyager did do more body horror stuff than any other series, the Vidiians are difficult to even look at. That one episode where they take that guy's face....off.

The Greatest Generation guys discovered a 2019 William Shatner/Jeri Ryan b-movie by the Atlantic Rim director called Devil's Revenge which I watched last night and it's probably one of the worst/funniest things I've ever seen. It's free on Tubi, give it a shot if y'all got a hole in your schedules and feel like laughing at something. Oh yeah, it was written by Maurice Hurley, despite being dead for years by that time, so I guess Shatner found the script in an old drawer and decided to shoot it?

Likely it was just in development hell for a decade and a half and Hurley had been hired for five minutes at the start EDIT oh my god you didn't mention it was co-written by the Shat and Hurley, that means they probably wrote it together 20 years ago (likely Hurley wrote while the Shat spouted stuff at him) and Shat's been trying to get it made for that long.

quote:At least one of the models of the larger amphibians was fully automated from its interior. Dan Curry remarked, "The most interesting thing for that is when they became lizards, that we had a little person inside a very large, constructed, physical lizard-like creature. And I was amazed that she was able to move around in there and get it to look so lively." (Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)

FISHMANPET posted:Did TNG ever really treat him as an enlisted man? Like, he was "Cheif" in that he was Transporter Cheif which was a role, not a rank. I think he was even called lieutenant early on. It was really DS9 that decided to say Cheif was his rank and that actually he was enlisted, and really explore that. TNG treats every crew member as an ensign out of starfleet. TOS had crew man. Real navy and army have enlisted and commissioned officer. You graduate high school and enlisted, you are a basic crewman. You go to college you start as an officer. Miles was a lt. Junior grade same as Worf or Gordi. In my head-cannon he is promoted to lt. Full grade same as Worf and Gordi but TNG and DS9 writers are not military people

Lt. Barclay outranks O'Brien in TNG since O'Brien always referred to him as sir.

They established O'Brien as enlisted in 4x03 family, before that he was treated as an ensign.

One of the best moments in the entire franchise is when Miles figures out he's about to have to call Nog "sir." He's joking about it, but he also seems pretty proud of him.
