They should have put a commbadge and wheels on a potted plant and used it as a background extra.

Farscape had sentient plants, so Star Trek is already behind the curve. Edit: Huh. I guess they're a thing in TAS and LD makes a reference to them. Atlas Hugged fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Jun 7, 2023 |

Atlas Hugged posted:For Morn, it's not that I see him in Quark's a lot. I mean specifically, he's a background character walking around the promenade on a loop with the other extras. Him being a barfly and in shots at Quark's is fine and we've already established that about his character by the end of season 1. My point is more that as a random alien extra walking around the promenade, it wouldn't be so obvious that it was the same dude walking in the same direction in SD, but in HD he's clearly on a track and in the scene because they want the promenade to look diverse and lively.

Quark isn't a Worf, but he is a true believer; the kind of guy who embarrasses everyone because he bought in on the grift 100% while everyone else is mouthing along for the $. He's got his copy of the Art of the Deal enshrined above his bed and screws over his employees so that he can invest as much as possible in timeshares.

Beeftweeter posted:they do change odo's makeup at some point, although i don't remember when exactly. you get used to it, and the later iterations look better The big change with Odo's look is when he gets the turtleneck permanently at the beginning of the third season. (Previously, he only had it in Crossover, in season 2, but Auberjonois requested the change.)

The opening arc in S2 of DS9 might not be the strongest arc in the show's run but it is kind of a preamble to the sorts of things Ira Behr and co figured the show did really well.

I like to think Morn didn't just have hair but a magnificent mane. Young Morn looked like Lobo.

Solid first two episodes of the second season, and I'm excited to watch episode 3 tonight after work to hopefully wrap up this little civil war. If this is what I have to look forward to for the next 6 seasons, I'm a happy camper.

The Circle trilogy is not the best DS9 multiparter (you could even argue it's the worst), but it works on such a fundamental level that you totally get why everyone looked at it and said, "hey, we can do this a lot more, and lean on our recurring characters instead of highlighting one-offs," and that's the one major piece of DS9's structure that season 1 didn't have yet.

There's an episode where they mention Quark's dad not having the lobes for business, makes sense that he'd go all in on ferengi ideology, little did he know he got it from his mom

It's not perfect, but my complaints are basically quibbles. Like if you put Li Nalas next to Vedek Bareil in casual clothes, I don't think I could tell them apart. They are the two most dour men I have ever seen in a TV show. You get the impression that neither really wants to be there, and I don't really mean the characters, but the actors on set. I assume this has something to do with the direction they want to take Bajoran men and their characterization. Jaro also has a certain dourness to him, but he feels far more distinct than Bareil and Nalas do, like the actor has a clearer idea of what the purpose of his characterization is. Also this show is so weirdly horny. What was up with that 90s TV?

I love the ending of the episode where Grilka goes to DS9 where Quark's in the infirmary being repaired after a very violent night of lovemaking while she's doting over what's left of him and then Dax and Worf show up with their own injuries and Bashir's just like "I'm going to stop asking questions because the answers are frankly upsetting..." Also Dax having Worf's sash loosely hanging off of one shoulder and half of Worf's hair being loose really sells the gag.

The thread title was once "He puts the beige in Bajor" in reference to Bareil.

Grand Fromage posted:The thread title was once "He puts the beige in Bajor" in reference to Bareil. I always wonder with retro watches like this if the viewer (me in this case) is going to land the hammer on the head of some controversial nail or in-joke that fans have discussed to death for ages. I'm glad in this case, it's an in-joke and not some highly controversial point about the subtle portrayal of the characters.
