FuturePastNow posted:The baseball episode is fun behind the scenes because apparently Nana Visitor was the actual worst player on the cast, she couldn't throw or catch a ball at all. Meanwhile, Rom's actor Max Grodénchik was a semi-pro player who literally could not play badly enough for the script and had to do everything left handed I love that Odo is having an absolute blast playing ump

IShallRiseAgain posted:I mean being functional is better than being non-functional and being heavily reliant on others for even simple day to day tasks. It also gives them a lot more freedom. The others realistically are going to be stuck at the institute for the rest of their lives because there is no cure for their condition. It'd be like giving a non-verbal autistic person the ability to communicate and the ability to live on their own. I got that, that's why I said it was unintentional. I just thought the language and behaviour were amusingly similar. Also I love that by season 7, both Benjamin and Dukat have gone completely native, just one is Bajoran Jesus and the other is Bajoran Satan.

goddamn most of keikos bad writing seems to crop up in "time's orphan" which is probably the weakest episode of the season other than the bits with worf and kirayoshi, gung gung gung indeed

I have like 8 episodes of TNG and I'm actually kinda sad about it, the show has been a nice companion for getting through the NFL offseason doldrums that I always dread. Anyway, the natural choice would be to jump right into DS9, but I do want to ask if there might be any benefit to watching DS9 and Voyager side by side instead of just one after the other. Did they have a lot of crossover? I know they partially aired at the same time so most fans at the time would've been watching both, at least for a few years there.

The first episode of Voyager begins with the ship docked at Deep Space Nine. Quark also has a cameo in that episode. That’s the only crossover.

No. The only crossover is that there's a few plot points in the initial premise of Voyager that get set up by earlier events during DS9 season 2, but there's no actual crossover during their runs, you gain nothing by watching them in parallel.

Ok well I'll at least watch the first season of DS9 on it's own in that case. If I start to lose interest maybe I'll start going back and forth.

I like the Vic Fontaine stuff in later seasons, it's a cute idea. Also the Chimera was a really cool episode. I loved the other changeling who has mastered form, even able to become something formless

Also if I had an idiot like Sloan constantly wandering into my bedroom unannounced for some idiotic mission, I'd start sleeping with no bottoms on and just try to make our encounters as uncomfortable as possible. "My bedroom, my rules. You don't want me flopping aggressively around the room, arrange meetings in a more considerate place."

I kind of want to see a show where a small ship gets attacked by some bigger villain ships, a crewmember gets annoyed, opens a general com channel and just yells "WOULD YOU PLEASE gently caress OFF!" and it works.

It's interesting that the last few episodes are a big 9-parter with the titles even ending in "Part 5", "Part 6" etc. I'm at episode 20 of the final season. Also I love how much of a mess the Breen ship is, it looks like it was cobbled together with no rhyme or reason.

Beeftweeter posted:ok. why Since I sniped, I might as well try and explain why. Which, I'm not entirely sure why. I find it entertaining. I think it's kind of interesting that there is some kind of spiritual force at play here, which our rational logical star fleet officers aren't at all expecting, which sort of hints a little bit about what Bajor is all about. I think it's fun to see O'Brien's and Bashir's relationship start blossoming. It's fun to see O'Brien not do a very good job at uniting the villagers. "Ok, let's all really try now!". And see him get really confused and flustered when, for example, the village elders offer him his choice of young women to be his wife. I think it's clever how the original storyteller basically planned all this, as a way to get his real apprentice prepared for the job. Because as it turns out it really wasn't about how prepared the storyteller was, it was about how much the village believed the storyteller. It's all just... I don't know, I think it's fun.

Agreed on the Vic stuff, I love the Vic stuff, all of it, I love that guy. Though I'm surprised Quark allows a better bar to go on within his bar.

I love how confusing the Breen are, even Weyoun's got no idea what the gently caress is going on with those robot wolf-lizard things with fridge-suits despite existing on a temperate planet. I like to think they don't need the suits and their faces are just normal humanoid without even any weird prosthetics, they're just loving with people by wearing weird shaped helmets.
