Kitchner posted:I didn't realise you were an expert on force fields in real life. He doesn't need to actually have the tech to know that stopping an object in motion requires equal force applied to said object. A chunk of iron moving a 1/4 of C is going to require a shitload of energy to stop. This is really pretty basic physics.

Entropic posted:You just set up a vacuum chamber with something falling in it and transport it to the top every time it's about to hit the bottom. It will just keep accelerating until you've got it going a significant fraction of the speed of light and then instead of teleporting it to the top of the chamber you teleport it to outside, aimed at someone you don't like. Objects don't just accelerate infinitely. They'll hit Terminal Velocity before long.

Rynder posted:i almost wondered why a race of people living by the mob code would be pretty much human but then i remembered that a race of ancient humanoids jizzed on every planet in the galaxy and that's why everyone evolved to be humanoid I find it more interesting that from a single book, they were somehow able to reproduce the English language in its entirety. Same for the planet that was dominated by the Chinese that somehow had an exact copy of the Declaration of Independence, down to the handwriting and signatures, yet for some reason couldn't read it. THAT episode was the worst in all Trek. Also the Rome planet. God, TOS was pure poo poo. The Bible fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Sep 1, 2015 |

And we are to believe TOS is the superior Trek. Voyager wasn't great, but we never had to sit through Janeway hamming up tue Preamble of the Constitution to a bunch of Chinese dudes.

Mondian posted:The early development stuff for Voyager seemed pretty focused on that. The 75 year journey was based on going nonstop at maximum warp, the realistic figure was 200-400 years and that was supposed to be the omnipresent danger. Its a shame they abandoned that feeling, but in regards to deus-ex machinas, finding ancient alien super technologies is standard in Trek so I'm not sure how you're disappointed in that. I don't get what the big deal was; Kirk went to the very edge of the Milky Way as a standard mission. Why didn't they just use the tech he had 100 years ago to just warp back in an afternoon?

shadow puppet of a posted:Move Along Home is fun but its structure is the worst soft of high camp, writers room stench, low buy-in acting. audience gets it long before the cast does plot, and capped off with the 'now lets never speak of that again' finish that epitomizes bad serialized trek.

Kitchner posted:He is right though. If Move Along Home had been shot in the 60s it would have been seen as a groundbreaking piece of TV and one of the best parts of the series. Eh, I was actually comparing one of the worst episodes of 90's Trek to the entirety of 60's Trek and noting that it is still considerably better by far. The same goes for that Lizard sex episode of Voyager. Total garbage even by Voyager standards, but still immeasurably superior to even the best TOS episode.

I'm watching TNG and just got to the very first Holodeck Malfunction episode, and Wesley is saying they can't just cut the power because if they do everyone on the holodeck will just disappear. So I guess early holodeck technology converted organic life into holograms while the holodeck was running?

Pneub posted:Wow you're so edgy. Mobster planet. A planet full of mobsters because an astronaut left a book behind. Kirk reciting the Declaration of Independence, an exact copy down to the signatures, that just happened to be reproduced on an alien world full of Chinese people. That time some race of women reprogrammed the Enterprise computer so it called Kirk "dear" and sulked a lot. If any of that showed up outside of TOS, it would be regarded as the worst episode of Trek ever created. Lizard Kirk loving Lizard Uhura would have been among the most highly regarded TOS episodes. I'm sorry, but TOS was loving awful.

Tighclops posted:The Royale was awesome. I love how "we're stuck in a lovely pulp novel" is an episode The Royale was (slightly) better than A Piece of the Action because it was just a looping simulation made by aliens who had no idea how to house a human. A Piece of the Action was just a whole planet that was just copying a mobster book planetwide. I expected the "It was sci-fi made in the 60's" excuse, but so was The Twilight Zone and that wasn't pure poo poo. Hillary Clintons Thong posted:I mean, of course looking at TOS through the eyes of 2015 it is pretty bad stuff, but compared to others 1960s television, I mean what the gently caress.
