Soong specifically said that Lore was too real and creeped people out. His solution to make Data less creepy was specifically to prevent him from using contractions. Also to make him not a psychopath, but mostly the contracting. That video is hilarious though, lol at 80s quality control.

In the first couple seasons, Gene insisted on spandex uniforms that were a size too small for the actors, because "they don't have wrinkles in the future" or some completely absurd poo poo. It never really got addressed until Stewart's doctor basically said they were destroying his back and he should quit if it wasn't fixed.

The progenitor was played by the same actress as the female changeling. All female klingons have cleavage holes in their armor, so it's pretty easy to figure out that big soft ridge-less titties are a thing.

It wasn't the Romulan star, it was a magic star that could somehow put the entire galaxy at risk. Because that's not completely retarded hack writing at all.

Kitchner posted:Wikipedia disagrees: It doesn't specifically say that it's the Romulan sun though. Under normal circumstances you would assume it would be, but the movie also used a phrase like "could threaten the entire galaxy" so that poo poo is right out the window. Supposedly there is like a whole comic book series that explains it all in more detail, but the comic book series also talks about how Nero went and chilled with the borg for a while for some reason, and included the phrased "They tried to assimilate me, but they could assimilate ...my hate" which makes the rest of this clusterfuck of a movie look like Shakespeare by comparison. counterfeitsaint fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Oct 21, 2015 |

Spock did save the galaxy. He used his magic technobabble juice to stop the supernova wave, he just did so too late to save Romulus. Him using the red spooge on the supernova is what threw both him and nero's gay rear end garbage scow back in time in the first time place. Nero's motivations were poo poo. I can see him being angry for awhile after it happened, but to dedicate the rest of his natural life to making Spock suffer when the had the technology and the ability to do literally anything he wanted in the past was stupid. It's one thing to have one guy snap, but the fact that his entire crew was apparently cool with dedicating their existence to revenge as well made it even dumber.

Higgy posted:So I've been moving through the treks and I'm onto Voyager because I hate myself. Some assorted thoughts as I passively let season 4 occur: All of these opinions are correct and proper. shadow puppet of a posted:You wont manage to make it through Enterprise if Voy is giving you this much bile. Enterprise is abysmal and so far out of the vein of the 90's style treks that its like watching some moribund, Danish-Australian co-produced sci-fi show made through co-financing through their national broadcasters. Oh wait I just described Farscape. Still, just watch Farscape instead. Enterprise is okay. It's a hell of a lot better than Voyager for sure. It suffers from a lot of *wink wink nudge nudge* this is what really happened or here is the origin of this idea bullshit that literally ever prequel ever made suffers from. And it's got a lot of star trek fatigue since these poor bastards have been writing star trek like their entire adult lives by this point. Season 1 and 2 start off slow, again, like every other star trek ever made, but it does pick up. Everyone loves the poo poo out of season 4, which is great overall, but it does start with one the dumbest episodes of the series. It's really the only trek where the ship feels and looks like a real ship, with a sense of scale and you can see how people could be living inside it, instead of just a cool model they ship a clip of that's unrelated to scenes inside. DS9 > TNG > ENT > > > VOY

So I wanted to watch a random TNG episode tonight, and ended up with the Irish stereotypes one. It was way more hilarious than I remember. In HD you can really see the disgust in poor Colm Meany's face in the scene where he beams them up for the first time, and a little folky Irish jig starts playing, and the head guy of course immediately runs over to offer him a drink from his hip flask, the standard greeting between two Irishmen. I think this might have been the original origin of O'Brien must suffer.

The new series can be a what if section 31 never existed, and the Dominion was able to bide it's time and take over the whole alpha quadrant and a bunch of human slaves can have a perfectly upfront and transparent "government" in their slave quarters and talk about how great they all are. At some point early on there could be a reference to that time a star fleet captain caught a simple tailor trying to mislead the romulans and trick them into the war but he put a stop to that sound of underhanded immoral thing, then they'd all go start their 18 hour shift in the dylithium mines.

Yeah, that stupid dance she does with Nog in that episode makes up for a lot of dumb poo poo in my mind. Jadzia isn't that well liked because the writers didn't know what the gently caress, and associated her with most of the worst story lines in DS9.

ChogsEnhour posted:Does it explain why they're unheard of when they appear in NG? To add to what others have said; I think it's established that whatever they are, they're trying to contact something in the delta quadrant, and it's unclear by the end of the episode if they succeeded or not, to further poo poo on the original "Q exposed humanity to the borg" story, but by the end of the episode everyone still had no idea what they were, so it makes sense that later in TNG people don't know what's up. It's still overall a pretty good episode, and a better premise than "Ferengi show up and take over the ship, but everyone's asleep, so it doesn't count as first contact."

So I finally watched chaos on the bridge. It was okay, and it was interesting to see all the behind the scenes stuff from the first two pretty bad seasons. That lawyer dude has probably been dead for years now, and he's still playing Gene's bad cop and taking the heat. It suffered from having William Shatner's ego and now 30 year old grudge attached, and would have been a lot better with someone else. I'm almost certain he was feeding people lines as he "interviewed" them, and it also seemed like makeup let anyone who wasn't on Shatner's side look all gross and sweaty. I expect they probably played up all the conflicting versions of events too. Listening to Steward talking about bailing on a live segment and telling Good Morning America to go gently caress themselves was the highlight of my day though. Edit: The stupid comic book art was crap too, but I'm not really happy with the visuals in almost all documentaries so meh.
