Everytime they cut to Chakotay (who had the same scene like 8 times in a row) I just wanted to know more about what the gently caress chaotic space was and how the crew was handling it outside of the dumb Chakotay poo poo.

Chakotay only knows one thing, and that's that he has to KILL Chaos

Every time I watch TWoK, I notice how weirdly variable the quality of the voice recording is. When Kirk and McCoy are talking in Kirk's apartment at the start, for example, Kirk is almost always muffled and scratchy, but McCoy is clear as anything on some lines and muffled on others. Is there an edition where they all sound nice and clear? Has someone run the muffled lines through some kind of ML enhancement, maybe?

It was the best of lines. It was the worst of lines.

She gets a bit toned down 2-3 episodes down the line on season 1 and forwards but no, the "ms. Know-it-all who is better than most at everything but too cool to do things properly" doesn't go away.

She tones down a bit later on and also her style gets less grating once her whole deal is laid a bit more clear and they start to explore that. Most people don't mind her after that (but there are always a few holdouts who just keep on hating her).

In general the characters on the show grew and evolved more than I was expecting for the format.

I was just thinking how silly it is that Discovery Klingons look the way they do but you got Worf looking normal in Picard and I just looked it up and saw they're back to the normal look we've seen since TMP for Strange New Worlds. I wonder how you come up with an in-universe explanation for that? I don't think you bother.

I am in the middle of a trek phase and happen to have recently read that they acknowledge that Klingons sometimes change their appearance and Worf says “they do not discuss it with outsiders” so we’ll never know the “real” reason.

That was a joke line from Trials and Tribbleations and then Enterprise actually DOES give an explanation for TOS Klingons.

The explanation in Enterprise is intended to punish you for asking for an in-universe explanation for this type of thing

Remember "the Albino" from Blood Oath (DS9)? I just looked it up and apparently the writers weren't even sure if he was Klingon.

She gets better over time. I started liking her more when she stops slacking and starts actually trying to do stuff, even if what she's trying to do is at odds with Captain Her Mom and/or Starfleet.

Tendi and Boims and Rutherford are the real faves, though, and they all get lots of cool moments and great arcs.

I do kind of appreciate the joke in Enterprise that O'Brien and Bashir take guesses about what could have caused the change and they turned out to both be right.

I don't remember where I heard it first, but I really like the idea that they should have put Worf in TOS Klingon makeup for that episode and had no-one comment on it.

or you could find a compilation of worst tng episodes and watch that instead for a much better experience. or st fan films. or st fan comics. or st erotic fan comics. or you could scribble "STAR TRAK" on the wall and stare at it. basically anything's a step up from picard.

Ugh. They could have just colored some pitty costumes and given them the same gray faces but with color-coded shades and it would have come out better than whatever that was.

I will say Picard is better than the fanfilm I saw. Holyshit it was such garbage from the top down. Writing, acting, directing, camera work, sound, lighting. Everything was poo poo.

IIRC Tim Russ was the director, and it had Walter Koenig in it.
