And try to obey the temporal prime directive this time. By which I mean lets not talk about TOS.

Why not? That's loving dumb.

Since Q is one of the best TNG characters ever created you're missing out in a lot.

Eh, he has his moments. He's usually just a plot device to give them an excuse to do crazy poo poo.


Someone photoshop those into little Neelixes.

But De Lancie does such a good job. He alone almost makes TNG worth while.

Yeah, De Lancie made the character worth using again (as a plot device).

Ground forces never make much sense when you can easily bombard poo poo from orbit.

You can't capture a territory and it's assets if you bomb it to ashes. If you want to take over a city, then it doesn't make sense to bomb it into gravel.

You can't take something over if you vaporized it.

star trek ships even have a stun setting on their main phasers, and can target with centimeter precision from orbit

no need to ever have more than a handfull of guys in key locations on a planet as long as you've got a few ships in orbit.

Even then, that's one of those thing that they mentioned once or twice in 40 years and never even tried to use once.

There also isn't any "ground forces" they are just dudes in the yellow uniforms. Since the only half way competent security person you ever meet in a yellow uniform is Worf and everyone else gets bitch slapped, vapourised, or tricked into letting their prisoner escape, I'm surprised the Cardassians didn't wipe the Federation out in ever land battle.

Now that I think about it, Worf's the only person in the federation that knows how to do more than that dumb two-handed club move. Maybe being obsessed with 500-times folded Hanzo Steel is a good idea after all.

yeah, this. you only need to use replicated material if there's a likelihood that you could eclipse the forcefield from its projector. otherwise every single texture, taste and even smell, and even stuff like mass and hardness and moisture is all doable with precise enough control over EM fields at an arbitrary distance

It can simulate smells, but can it simulate stank?

The episode "Conundrum" has the same problem. The Satarran aliens can wipe the memories of everyone on the Enterprise, alter the computer records, and insert their own crew posing as humans, but they can't defeat the Lysians?

I MEAN REALLY

They couldn't spend another week to find some no-name Miranda with a dumb crew?

That series loving tanked after the Jedi-Only-More-Bland became the main characters in the last couple Frank-written books. Everyone says his son's books suck, but that ship was already sinking so who gives a poo poo?

im permabanned poster spoonheadstomper58. i first started reading the star trek thread when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "spoonhead balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside spoonhead assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of the star trek thread humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" the star trek thread to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

A good cadet prank would be transporting things into people's asses as they go about their day.

Is teleporting a dildo into a butt technically sodomy? There isn't really any 'penetration', one moment it isn't in there, and then it is.

Lol at casuals saying McCoy isn't as much a main character as Spock and Jim

The relationship between those 3 is the heart of the show and what makes it so great. None of the other series have been able to replicate it and that's why they aren't as good


If you don't get that you don't get TOS and would be better off watching a technobabble show like TNG

Additionally, Deforest Kelly's probably the best actor that got permanently dumped into Star Trek typecasting hell for the rest of his life (although I doubt his bank account was crying to hard about it).

Coincidentally, Star Trek V spontaneously turns into Quality Star Trek at the one-hour seven-minutes mark and never turns back(I have that stupid movie saved on my computer for some reason so I could double-check the time):
