Picard's acting I chalked up to him not wanting to be there and probably hating Star Trek.

And that really freaking breaks my heart. Jean-Luc was supposed to be the epitome of a cool-headed, intelligent, authority figure, and a diplomat that understands that violence does not solve problems but usually just causes them; now we learn that the guy playing that character is a British redneck that yearned for the fight&gently caress action hero and pretty much nothing else all the time.

I don't think he is playing a character on American Dad. They just recorded things he said.

Bullock started out as Seth McFarland, by his own admission, playing a game of chicken with Stewart to see what was the most offensive thing he could get Stewart to say for a paycheck before he said no, and it turned out there was no red line, he was down for literally whatever.

Sir Lemming posted:Oh yeah, that's definitely one of the weak ones. As I remember it, Bashir basically realizes what's going on like 10 minutes into the episode, and then the rest of it is just him wandering aimlessly around a set that we already know is a dream and just trying different things to get out of it. They screwed up the dramatic tension. that's a good summary of why it's bad- just ends up being boring there was an episode around it where lwaxana is making crew fall for each other because of some weird betazoid horny cupid fever thing and I didn't like it much but it was never straight up boring like that one was Sir Lemming posted:Fortunately you're really close to the one-two punch of "Improbable Cause" and "The Die Is Cast" which I remember being some of the best episodes of the series. Yeah it was drat good after lots of teased bits and foreshadowing in previous episodes (the romulans trying to get as much info on the dominion as possible etc) it gave a good measured dose of action, drama and exposition- I binged the rest of the season today and the finale to 3 seemed a bit weak in comparison- almost seemed like it would have been better switched around in position with those two

Remember that first scene on Disco episode 1 when where they were lost in a storm and summoned their ship by stupdily drawing a logo of ... Star Trek in the sand? That the ship could see through the storm somehow and yet communications were down? Even though also that specific logo was of Enterprise and only Enterprise at the time, if the show was supposed to be a prequel? Yikes. jeeves fucked around with this message at 00:36 on May 26, 2023 |

This isn’t a video and also it doesn’t seem to be a problem going by that article link Jeeves added. It’s a Starfleet insignia, cool.

Yeah, the whole 'the arrowhead is only the Enterprise' thing was dropped so early in the franchise that I don't think it's even a valid nitpick.

The people who claim that the arrowhead wasn't an Enterprise assignment patch but was for all "starship duty" somehow never seem to remember the uniforms on the Defiant, which all have a different insignia. The rationalization I've come up with for this whole mess is that the insignia did vary from ship to ship, but they weren't unique -- there was a set of perhaps eight or ten of them that each captain could choose from. So Matt Decker chose the pretzel, Ron Tracey picked the embroidered rectangle, etc. But by far the most popular choice was the arrowhead, so much so that at some point after TOS, Starfleet just adopted that symbol fleet-wide and dropped the others. Boom, all problems solved.

okay so the infamous "there's coffee in that nebula" line is 5 episodes in and is literally the punchline to an opener about janeway trying to connect with her crew and be more than a captain to them and having to deal with neelix's "coffee" replacement. in context it makes a lot more sense than it's made a mockery of.

That was back when it was assumed that every starship did have its own patch. However: we saw a few Defiant crew wearing arrowheads in TOS! And then ENT introduced a distinct patch. My assumption is that the arrowhead is the standard duty patch, but that certain special duties or fleets get special patches. So, say the Exeter and Defiant were on some special mission (but not everyone on Defiant had switched their tops yet). Matt Decker was wearing a Commodore patch.

That was what was originally intended, yeah. The Antares had a different patch because they were merchant marine equivalent, starbase personnel had their own patch, and Commodore Decker's patch was meant to be because of his rank. The captain in the Omega Glory having a unique patch was an error.

The 70's and 80's tech manuals and fanzines had a bunch of different created patches for every drat ship in the fleet, under the erroneous idea every one needed it's own, before canon overrode their ideas.

Yup. The whole meme about it is mostly just telling on the people who use it more than a passing shitpost that they don't know what they're talking about but are convinced they do because they watched a youtube takedown or something.
