Lmao of course Voyager decided Chakotay was from the colony in that Wesley episode, because there couldn’t possibly be Native Americans living anywhere else in the Star Trek universe

Big Mean Jerk posted:Lmao of course Voyager decided Chakotay was from the colony in that Wesley episode, because there couldn’t possibly be Native Americans living anywhere else in the Star Trek universe As the Star Trek wiki puts it it's a little more complicated than that: quote:The producers of Star Trek: Voyager originally intended Dorvan V to be Chakotay's homeworld. (Star Trek Monthly issue 4, p. 55) Although this idea was not established during Voyager's run, the Voyager relaunch novels state that Chakotay and his family were native to Dorvan V. However, "Tattoo" established Chakotay's colony to have been established centuries ago, which does not appear to be consistent with "Journey's End", which stated that the settlers had been on Dorvan for about twenty years. Even though Picard's statement "Dorvan Five? Isn't that where the group of North American Indians settled?" to some degree implies that Dorvan is unique, Chakotay would seem to originate from a second planet of American Indians in the DMZ. So, it looks like the Voyager people wanted Chakotay to be from that colony, but they messed up the details.

This may be a general 80s/90s TV issue, but I'm noticing in the 24th century, whenever someone gets knocked to the ground, everyone's in a hurry to get them back on their feet. Are future people like elephants, where they die if they lie down for too long?

Is this what's alien to you in Star Trek?)

When I see someone fall, I stand by idly hoping gravity and time will run their course and keep them on the ground forever, where they belong.

You can at least first check if they didn't break anything after some spacebeam launched them into the furniture, you dingus. It's not about the helping them up, more the instant need to have them back on their feet.

After someone took a nasty fall, usually from a great height, someone would say, "Be sure to move their neck and spine around."

To be fair if I worked in a place where there was a not-insignificant chance that I was going to die in a shower of pointless sparks I'd probably just Tyrell myself first. E: TOS movies appear to have popped onto Amazon Prime somewhere in the last couple months since I looked, if anyone was unaware. Orv fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Jun 1, 2019 |

The TNG episode "Transfigurations" really runs the gamut of "things that weren't meant to be seen in HD". It starts with the most graphic gaping head wound I've ever seen on a network/syndicated TV show, and it ends with a "being of light" that's clearly just a guy in a full-body suit with the brightness & contrast turned up.

It's really weird that Yesterday's Enterprise gives Tasha a proper heroic ending only for it to be revealed that she basically ended up a sex slave before being executed after a failed escape attempt.

I don't know how I feel about "Valiant". It's an effective enough deconstruction of "the young plucky adventurer" thing, but I'm not sure what it adds to the overall narrative, and Nog's losing his leg ultimately does more to make him aware of the horrors of war than this episode does. If anything, it just seems bitter and discouraging to any young people who might like to project themselves onto Star Trek characters or towards an entire genre of fiction.

If anything, it just seems bitter and discouraging to any young people who might like to project themselves onto Star Trek characters or towards an entire genre of fiction. It was mostly about Nog's inability to look past the rose-tinted glasses and listen to his friend, and how military people can sometimes do reckless and stupid things and not realize they're loving up and how we need writers with one published book under their belt to keep the military in line. I feel like someone's less successful marine brother was more liked by his parents.

There's an alternate universe where the Star Trek producers decided to just rent almost all of the costumes and this thread is all "heh, where's the future-clothes? i guess fashion stopped in the mid-60s  "Also in that alternate universe we can't stop whining about the terrible future-music that TNG had its characters listening to and wishing they'd gone for something a little more ~timeless~.

Ok I'm starting DS9 again and am thinking of compiling a list of not dumb and/or crazy Bajorans. I have a feeling it will be a short list.

Vedek Bariel is a nice dude. That famous flute player does a great cover of the DS9 theme. Kira's next Bajoran president boyfriend seems chill. That Bajoran who got lucky and killed a nude Gul is cool. Odo's dad has his issues but in the end he wants to make up for them and for Odo to be happy. Marta is flawless. Jake's girlfriend is... a pedophile actually so she isn't cool. Gul Dukat's daughter is half Bajoran. The guy who takes over for the Storyteller is trying his best. The general follows orders and responsibly resigns after Steven Weber fucks it all up.
