Also the phoenix event started today. Not a big surprise with an upgrade weekend coming up, but it kind if came out of nowhere with no notifications. Some more old event stuff in it too, as well as that ancient pre-order EMH boff.

It's not that old original EMH- it's the Voyager Doctor one that was a convention reward. From the 2015 STLV. So maybe they're going to put the old convention boffs in the Phoenix store in the order they were released.

I decided I liked the look of Altamid plasma cannon bolts so I upgraded a set with Phoenix upgrades and managed to get an ultra-rare card for another Voth Dickship in the process. Thanks upgrade weekend and Phoenix event.

What's a good way to learn science ships and/or what's a good starter science ship for someone who's only really played escorts and is a tactical character? I don't get these secondary deflectors yet or how to do science control-wizardry.

Hell, aliens grabbing ancient humans and dropping them off on another planet is canon in Trek. And not even from Voyager, it goes all the way back to TOS.

That's the basic premise of like. . . . gently caress, 6? 10? episodes of Trek. Each series at least has one, sometimes multiple. Event STD got in on the action, although that technically wasn't aliens.

Yeah it was a repeated TOS plot because the budget was so low they took any vague excuse to use whatever other sets or costumes were lying around the studio lot. The only reason I say it's more voyager is because TOS often didn't even bother to justify it. "Yeah the planet just evolved identically to earth. :shrug:"

Both because I want to sit back and :popcorn: at the inevitable online blowup and because I want to phaser Nazis in the face.

While undoubtedly true for the most part, a little of it will be mitigated by Patrick Stewart being able to tell them to gently caress off if something is completely retarded.

Did you see Star Trek: Nemasis? P Stu is pretty cool, but the man kinda doesn't give a gently caress about much beyond a paycheck when it comes to things like making the lore idiotic.

Stewart was also responsible for the episode Starship Mine.

Stewart really wants Picard to be a sci-fi action hero.

I remember a rumor from a few years back that the idiotic dune buggy scene in Nemasis was 100% there because Sir Patrick loves to hoon around in off road vehicles. Dude just wanted a day of loving around in dune buggies on Paramount's dime.

There is a dumb dune buggy scene in Nemesis specifically because Stewart wanted and excuse to tool around in a dune buggy on the studio's money.

Wait, I take it back, ST:Picard will be amazing.

I've heard the same thing, yeah. He was also apparently the main force behind the kinda-romance with the Baku lady in Insurrection. He really wants to be the sci-fi action hero who runs around, shoots people, and fucks hot women.

I respect Stewart tremendously as an actor, but I've come to the conclusion that I don't think much of him as a person.

Cyrano4747
Sep 25, 2006

I dunno, I havne't heard anything bad about him as a person. I mean, nothing on my radar about him sexually harassing kittens or groping random passers by or whatever, and he seems to have a decent grasp on insane ST nerds and how to pander to them in a good humored way.

Now, does he give two shits about ST in the way nerd do about lore and the characterization of Picard and all that? I doubt it. Dude seems to look at JPL as another roll he's played, a fun one, and a lucrative one, but just another character. Frankly that's probably a healthy way of doing it, however annoying it might be for those of us with ~~opinions~~ about the ideals of starfleet or whatever.

Everything I've seen about Stewart is that he's apparently a wonderful caring guy, just something of an eccentric goof and basically nothing at all like Picard. It's not a shock that he treats Trek with all the respect it deserves (i.e., none at all).

To be the debbie downer while Patrick Stewart is all of those positive things he's also getting ancient despite aging very well.

Temper your action scene expectations I guess. Hopefully he has many more years to enjoy.

Loved him as Deputy Director Bullock in American Dad. Particularly the episode where he fucks Stan's daughter and Stan has to restrain himself to stop going King Kong on him to secure a promotion. Especially when Patrick Stewart/Bullock enters Stans' kitchen during breakfast wearing Hayley's pink girlie bathrobe post-shag looking for snacks before another round.

Needs a video link, garbage quality though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBZ5OLy2EDg

I'm not expecting him to care like a full on Lore sperg, I just meant they're not likely to make him do anything he doesn't want to do. So yeah, he's responsible for joyriding in a dune buggy and stuff, which while dumb in an action schlok kind of way is largely inoffensive and has never bothered me.
