MillennialVulcan posted:The fans must have orchestrated some sort of super successful write-in campaign for him. They did. They were all his friends and family and sent multiple letters at his request saying how much they loved his character in the episode, which Paramount got before the episode even aired. The letters were successful in getting him fired. And let me tell you this guy... his name is fuckin Biff Yeager. What a great fuckin name!

If only they'd managed to get him fired before he poo poo up an otherwise decent first season episode.

Come on he's barely in it. Geordie was still at helm and Jim Shimoda had just been killed, so they had to put in someone.

He was barely in it but noticeably worse than practically any other extra with lines in the series. I mean not everyone can be Colm Meaney but poo poo.

He trades it in for 50% of "dollar" value, then wires more latinum bonds to Quark's for enough "dollars" to get a premium five suitcase pack for the price of four. THERE... ARE... FOUR... SUITCASES!

DrNutt posted:God the music in early TNG is so good but it's also distractingly dating. Some of it sounds straight out of TOS with the extremely overdone cues and such. It's so different from modern TV and it's fine it's just sort of jarring. Except for the visual effects and obvious cast changes, the production on early TNG feels like TOS Season 4, like they just took an extra year off instead of 20.

On my first watch, the Naked Now remake would have made the show look like it was going to be like the Twilight Zone remakes if I hadn't heard the stories about the first season being the worst one

It really was, in a lot of was. Roddenberry basicaly got the band back together and rehired a lot of writers and production staff from TOS. But a lot of them quit after he and his lawyer alienated them. It's interesting though, because perhaps it was the pushing off of the old guard that allowed the show to hit the highs it started to achieve in S3. Had they stayed on, TNG may have been a mediocre, dated series thst lasted 4 or 5 seasons and never spawned 3 more series and movies.

While the music is certainly gorgeous, the one thing I truly wish they stuck with was the lighting from the first two seasons. The overly bright tone from seasons 3-7 really made things feel cheap.

I think part of why I liked Masks so much is that they do something even slightly adventurous with the lighting. Of course the ship has to be getting magically morphed into an alien library/temple for them to try it, but...

Masks reminds me of Jumanji when the house slowly morphs into a jungle.

Yeah I really enjoyed the idea, even if I have a quibble with the execution, and don’t understand why people don’t get it.

I think the bridge lighting absolutely needed to change, but the conference room suffered greatly for it; it works so much better when they can play with shadows in there.

Pick posted:Do Romulans go through pon farr? I think Romulans deal with powerful emotions by directing them like terrifying lasers at others instead of bottling them up Vulcan-style, so instead of one animal lust-gently caress every seven years they have an increasingly co-abusive sexual relationship with someone compatible, and just wear more upholstery to cover the ugly green bruises.
