nine-gear crow posted:Troi/Riker/Worf was a love triangle for nearly half of TNG but they were never allowed to actually develop or commit to any aspect of the relationship because TNG was an episodic syndicated status quo change-agnostic show. It looked like Worf was ultimately going to be the one they went with for Deanna at the end of TNG, but then Worf went to Deep Space Nine and TNG movie writers went "gently caress it, just have Riker and Troi get back together." I think it was more, at the very beginning they established that Troi and Riker had feelings for eachother, did almost nothing with it for the entirety of the show except for Riker occasionally getting jealous when Troi had her one-off ill-fated romances, and then towards the end of the show, writers in search of something for Worf to do started pairing him with Troi to help show his softer side. As opposed to Crusher and Picard, who had feelings established at the start and the series did nothing with, but Picard did have a whole lengthy developing relationship with her son. TNG had the sexual energy of a piece of toast.

TNG had sexual energy, but nobody liked it, it freaked them out. So they stopped doing it

i thought from the first few eps of ds9 that the show would be roughly 50% star trek nonsense and 50% quark/odo cheers and while i ended up loving the show i'd have loved it more if they stuck to that formula

Riker and Troi were soul mates, or something like that, drifted apart due to Rikers ambition, got reunited but settled into more of an open, but very close friends with implied benefits kind of situation.

Poke Chop posted:Im pretty sure that every instance of worf and troi is a psychic fantasy (eye of the beholder) alt universe (parallells) or alt future (all good things). The closest they ever came to flirting in normal spacetime was when she was possessed by a ghost and threw him across ten forward. That time when everyone de-evolved, Worf bit Troi on the face because he wanted to mate with her. Which doesn't exactly disprove your point, of course.

Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries…. The assistant director for the Cetacean Institute walks into Golden Gate Park in broad daylight and disappears… A doctor gives a pill to a dialysis patient who spontaneously grows a new kidney, a doctor that is never seen again… A Russian spy breaks into the most secure aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, and vanishes without a trace…

Powered Descent posted:That time when everyone de-evolved, Worf bit Troi on the face because he wanted to mate with her. Thanks for reminding me of that! I figure, sometime after parallels, worf approached deana with a complicated klingon ritual and she just laughed and said she was free saturday. To her it was drinks and a quick shag, but you know how worf gets... That's why worf asked for reassignment to ds9. And why he got absolutely blasted at her wedding.

All of the complaints about Riker are that he asked for affirmative consent and left when the person answered, "But you already have my implied consent!"

The past few pages of this thread have been pretty horny so I suppose it's only appropriate to say that I am watching Enterprise now. Lots has been written over the years about the color-saturated decontamination in the first episode, and how determined T'Pol's nipples are to pierce that thin fabric, but I feel compelled to contribute a gay male persepctive: Trip's genitals are snugly supported and presented forward by that underwear such that I could make out the outline of his penis. No freeze frame tricks, she just bends down to moisturize his legs and   Anyhow, that sequence is so goddamn stupid because I don't think a viewer has ever made out a word of dialogue that was said. It would have been an okay sequence probably if they had just stuck to the fixed camera and not cut to Michael Bay camera angles leering down the crevices of their skimpy clothes.Also it's different that they ran into one of the weirder places I've seen in Trek thus far (that echo room) with twenty minutes left in the episode and then ran away without learning what was happening with it. I know this series is ultimately a disappointment to many people, but the first episode spent a lot of time promising the viewer to not lean as heavily on certain Trek writing aides as previous series, but then they noped out of their first mystery to focus on the escort mission. I can understand it but it does feel like the NX is a smaller proof-of-concept vehicle meant to run around the local cosmos and get it's crew home alive, and not the kind of ship that's going to carry a deployment of scientists like the civilians on Any Other Enterprise But Mostly The D. EDIT: And since my other other Trek long-watch is DS9, the obvious reuses of Defiant sets kind of hurts inside. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 09:00 on May 25, 2022 |

The whole scene is Weird AF but since the actors are twenty years older (and one is mega wealthy) I don’t feel as bad treating it like a car wreck to go past mouth agape.

this is the scene y'all are acting like is a dang porno or something. The sexlessness of Trek is lame but I can see why they don't even try anymore if all it takes to set people off is a light touch and an exposed midriff. Get the rulers out, the vice principals want to go measuring skirts and t shirts for dress code adherence. I don't think we've even seen Saru's midriff at all because of you puritan ninnies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SAKh1_6uGw

The_Doctor posted:Mayweather was an absolute wasted asset. drat, if I were writing an episode he'd be really gifted at microgravity ballet, which he has practiced since his childhood on the freighters despite teasing from his siblings. The episode would hinge on him overcoming his nerves before a huge ballet performance on a busy space station by talking to various crew members about his past and stuff. Finally, he'd be confident enough in himself to put on that tight future leotard and do a ten-minute wire ballet performance that finished out the episode, complete with loving looks from everyone who supported him
