Harry Kim wakes up in SF was a decent episode. Last few have been weak so low bar and all. This is next. It sounds cool but we'll see: E6 · Twisted 45 min · Oct 2, 1995 A spatial distortion phenomenon occurring inside the ship changes Voyager's structural layout by twisting and compressing it.  -S2 E7 · Parturition 45 min · Oct 9, 1995 During a shuttle mission to replenish food supplies, Neelix and Lt. Paris discover an embryonic pod and become caretakers of the hatching infant. Also from a page back I don't think Kes is a bad character. Maybe bland and made worse by her association with Neelix.

kes is a bad character because her very concept is so incredibly bad that it poisons anything else she ever does.

I always hated the universal translator because TUD already had a much better explanation with the trial scene with the Nuremberg headphones showing that obviously everyone is speaking X language, we just hear English as the audience. It doesn’t leave nearly as many holes as the universal translator which causes more narrative problems than it solves.

The best solution to different languages in fiction is “they speak English, whatever who gives a gently caress”

I appreciate the Star Wars method where there's several languages and most people are at least somewhat multilingual, because it means that we sometimes get a guy pleasantly chatting in English with a barking dog.

The best Neelix moment after Tuvix is in Season 4 E 12 Mortal Coil because he dies and if you just turn it off right then and skip all the way to the last episode its like he never came back

Wasn't there a Stargate SG-1 behind-the-scenes video where one of the actors read a letter from a fan asking why everyone on every planet spoke English, and they answered something like "Oh god, somebody noticed it, [Showrunner], you promised us no one would NOTICE that, what the hell do we even DO now?"

The episode of Voyager where Kim takes command of an alien ship feels like a plotline written for Neelix in mind.

Another Voyager episode, more Neelix jealously. But, Paris gave Kes a necklace with a locket on it. That’s a really personal gift and not cool. I guess he’s messing with Neelix.

Trek would do even better with the Star Wars multilingual method, as proven by Darmok and the fact that Klingon is an actual fleshed out language

You could probably retcon bat'leth as being a poo poo design because they arent actually designed for killing. Klingons love dying in battle. If you want to poo poo on your enemies, you maim and disable them and take them prisoner. You want them alive. To conquer them. So the bat'leth is a heavy sorta blunt bad at stabbing piece of poo poo because its designed to NOT kill your enemies, just to gently caress up their day while you laugh in their face and take over because you're the bigger badder more honorable warrior.

The Bat'leth is a lovely ceremonial weapon that doesn't really work but it doesn't matter because you only ever use it against other Bat'leths or when you're showing off. If you want to have a serious fight with a better weapon you use a mek'leth.

The bat'leth might be useful if you could split it in two for double stabby stab times.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:They could have done something like Farscape and just say that going through the stargate automagically implanted nanobots/microbes/midichlorian/magic spores in your brain IIRC he got injected by translator microbes at the start by the crew and slowly started understanding their alien gobbledygook. I appreciate when the language issue is addressed from the start as part of the world building. Even if it is just a babelfish.

Ghostlight posted:my favourite thing about tng is how i remember like only half of these episodes. I know, right. And it's not like we watched the episodes once and forgot. The season would be rerun over the summer. I think TNG was in syndication from the beginning? Real early on anyway. There were various star trek reruns on every night of the week from the late 90s on -- you might not be paying full attention to reruns but they were on all the time.
