Goatee-less Sisko with hair in the original/voyager uniform looks normal. Bald Sisko with goatee in the new/movie uniform looks normal. But something about that in-between period of Bald Goatee Sisko in the old uniform looks off. Like he’s the unnatural Tuvix of early season and late season Sisko.

Wasn't there an episode or two where he had hair and goatee?

Cthulu Carl posted:TOS it was just random numbers. TNG on, they used a more cohesive scheme, but the scheme according to wikipedia was "the first digit "4" should represent the 24th century, with the second digit representing the television season. Doesn't that imply each season is a decade apart? They're all looking good for being in their 90s by season 7...

The "formula" for TNG Stargates got tweaked a few times, but stuck with "the first digit is 4 for the 24th century, the second digit is the season". Looks like they eventually settled on a logic that a year is "1000 units"Star Trek Chronology posted:"The year 2323 works out as the zero point for the system of stardates developed for Star Trek: The Next Generation, assuming that the beginning of year 2364 (the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation) was stardate 41000, and that stardates progress at 1000 units per year. In other words, under the Next Generation system of stardates, January 1, 2323 would seem to correspond to stardate 0. This probably shouldn't be taken too seriously, because Star Trek's stardates have never been too internally consistent, but we're mentioning it here because it's kinda fun."

That was like a whole bit in the first movie they couldn't figure out the symbols because they were five thousand year old constellations and also later the symbols on the other side were different because they were from the Abydos point of view. In the tv show they retcon/handwave it so that all the gates have the same symbols (except a unique point of origin) but say that it's because the gate network was originally plotted from Earth.

Apollodorus posted:Which makes no sense because constellations only look the way they do from one specific point at a certain time. That was one of the little details the movie got right: the symbols on the Abydos gate are completely different from the Earth gate because they're constellations as seen from Abydos with an Abydos-centric Point of Origin glyph. They dropped that from the TV show because it meant it would be loving impossible to try and find your way back home to Earth from any of the hundreds of thousands of gate addresses in the Stargate network if they all had their own symbol sets.

Eh, the DHDs would've offered a way around that. Even if not they could've just established a way to easily identify which symbol was origin they didn't know about in the movie, and then said they were all always in the same order from there. The main reason they dropped it was the physical props always being the same. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Oct 20, 2023 |

MikeJF posted:The main reason they dropped it was the physical props always being the same. That too, I suppose. Though this is why I actually like the Stargate Universe gate a lot, all of its glyphs were binary signifies, which made sense for a "hero" gate that was constantly moving between different galaxies, so assigning the seeded gates pre-determined 6-digit address rather than constellation-based co-ordinates.

you dial the gate because its a big rotary phone and this resonated with the ancient studio execs

And when Voyager gets back in contact with Starfleet and they're told about the Dominion War that's currently going on Chakotay's just straight up like "What the hell's a 'Dominion'?  "It was the small details between TNG, DS9 and VOY that made it feel like it was one continuous ongoing story universe for a while so that you didn't need actual actors doing crossovers all the time to still make it feel cohesive in a way. They even acknowledged the movies as happening too, and the movies acknowledged what was happening on the shows, too. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Oct 21, 2023 |

Since there wouldn't be a Second Contact mission profile in the Terran Empire, what would the Cerritos's role be? Quisling Wrangling? Mobile Oppression Palace? Orbital Crematorium Unit? (And lol at Buff Everyone on that cover. They all skipped leg day!)
