There's a subplot where she's injured and apparently one draft had her die, and they... just forgot they changed that in the shooting script? On our first watch through my girlfriend and I were 100% convinced she was dead and that was why Naomi was always buzzing around and annoying the crew but neither of us could remember it happening.

If I remember correctly during the run of Enterprise they're at first like "once every 7 years", then "nerds from the pro-emotion sect are working on speeding that up some" and at the end they're like "oh Vulcan women can bang as long as it is logical".

Sometimes you can just disappear from events for years at a time on Voyager if you pass into an out-of-focus anomaly, like poor Lieutenant Carrey who escaped one just in time to die

Personally I'd question if bottling up all your emotions until they're inevitably released once every seven years in a binge of unhinged sex, violence and sexual violence is really that logical

Sash! posted:You've been using "they" neutrally for so long that you don't even realize that you do it. Although this is true, it misses the very important point that this is the anonymous gender-neutral pronoun. You don’t know who that moron driver is, so you don’t know which gendered pronoun to use, so you default to “they”. As soon as you know who they are, however, you immediately switch to using their actual pronoun. Referring to a specific person by a gender-neutral pronoun is a relatively recent thing, especially since widespread understanding and acceptance of non-binary genders is still relatively recent.

Just started “The Big Goodbye”. Watching Picard nerd out to his command staff about the holodeck upgrades is very endearing. Starfleet are such square-rear end geeks, even the most dignified of them.

I just can't imagine a society that would get so advanced and yet not have figured out how to combat hormones.

What in the saucer-separating gently caress? If a holodeck hard reboots with living occupants inside, they dematerialize? That’s…an OSHA violation, at least.

I liked how that was the moment it became obvious B'Elanna would be chief engineer in "Parallax," when she was able to nerd out about the WARP PARTICLES with Janeway in a way Carey couldn't or wouldn't - the idea that the chief engineer needs to be able to work with the captain and challenge each other on big important projects, not just be a cog in the machine.

When does it become the arch? In season one, it is just ‘door’. Speaking of which, I really appreciate that Beverly Crusher is cautious unto paranoia concerning headaches, but just hand waves the fact the holodeck’s door is acting nuts. I wouldn’t go in Kroger if the doors were being that spooky.

I think you can just ask for the arch and that has the control panel on it, so you can access that without having the door there aswell?

Boxturret posted:I think you can just ask for the arch and that has the control panel on it, so you can access that without having the door there aswell? The holodeck had glitched and not responding to commands. The first iteration of the holodeck had no integrated arch. Personally, I like it just being the door. I get “good seasons of Westworld” vibes from it. Also, just started “Angel One”. I can already see this is going to be weird.

yeah, "arch" is distinct from "door" — you can see this in "elementary, my dear data" when moriarity specifically calls for the arch, and it shows up sans door

I am howling at the Cardassian reinterpretation of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf": Never tell the same lie twice. Fantastic. No notes. As I've been watching the end of Season 3 and start of Season 4 I've turned my Twitter into a conservative news feed reporting on events happening at Deep Space 9. There's so much good material to work with and a Federation Tucker Carlson would have an incredibly easy time making the crew of DS9 look awful. I could easily imagine them losing their minds over Captain "Sicko's" many attempts to groom alien children and to indoctrinate them into joining Star Fleet resulting in cultural clashes with Bajorans and Ferengi. Meanwhile a perverse time-clone has full control over the life support systems of the station. Truly dark days for the Federation.

DaveWoo posted:I'm up to the beginning of Season 4 in my first-time DS9 watch, and I have to say, that season gets off to an extremely strong start in its first two episodes. Way of the Warrior is a top tier two parter and its almost a DS9 movie for how perfect it sets the tone of show from here on. It is weird how excellent of a character Worf is, he elevates every show he's on, even picard season 3 where Rafi actually has a good relationship for once in her life.

There's far more serialization than there was in TNG (far less than in DS9). I know that everything ends up hunky-dory at the end of "Deadlock" because I watched it on first airing as a kid, but it's Ensign Wildman giving birth, it's taking place in the middle of a giant arc about Voyager facing off against Seska and the Kazon, and there's actually a fair number of balls in the air with ongoing plotlines, character developments, and so on. At least right now, in the back half of S2, it's a surprisingly serial show on rewatch. e: also Voyager wasn't syndicated for first airing, it was always on UPN, which likely helped a bunch (as well as DS9 kind of showing what could be done).

Just finished the Kira/Dukat episode early in Season 4 and... I dunno, this kinder, gentler version of Dukat isn't really working for me. Edit: Just started the next episode - I think I remember there being a fair bit of controversy when this one first aired. DaveWoo fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Jun 26, 2023 |
