I do like the idea of having more "all-alien" episodes. I think Klingon gets too clunky being juxtaposed all the time to the stuffy Starfleet stuff. I'd like a mini-series or maybe just a three-part kung-fu style cheesy adventure story of a bunch of Klingons competing to do something. Maybe play up the Asian influences on their culture, have a martial arts tournament with a murder sub plot and some hot Klingon cheeks in leotards and wait what were we talking about again

This is HBO right because the Klingon show should be basically Rome meets Game of Thrones meets Ip Man.

Dicere posted:Just watched "Let He Who is Without Sin ..." the other night. In case you're unfamiliar, Worf and Dax go Risa to work on their relationship because Worf is goony and possessive. He's a total loving baby about it. He stumbles across this moralist movement that showed up to protest decadence in the Federation. So, in the space of a day or two, he reads their literature, buys in whole hog, and helps them taking the weather controls offline - ruining the vacation of at least 100,000 people (a figure Dax uses). So now there's lightning storms and everyone's pissy while the Risans have to repair the weather controls. Meanwhile the moralists decide a storm isn't enough and turn off the seismic controls (likely with knowledge they obtained from Worf). So Worf and Dax save the day, arrest the terrorists, everyone is happy and Worf and Dax kiss and cuddle in the runabout back to DS9. I actually think that episode is one of the most interesting involving Worf, because Dax basically tells him what the whole thread has been saying: he's a shadow of a Klingon, a joyless stick in the mud unwilling to bend for anyone. Worf is actually treated more realistically than ever before--while he has some great successes and victories and gets some great moments, he's also got some of his biggest failures and gently caress-ups and those go along too. There's a great episode where he's unable to fulfil a mission and allows a Cardassian informant to be killed so he can save Jadzia's life after she's injured by the Jem'Hadar in a jungle. His career is shot, but he keeps his job at least, but it's a great moment that defines his character, and even Sisko says that in the end, he'd have probably made the same choice.

The way I view the Maquis is that they exist so far from the glorious paradise of Earth that they've gone wild, so to speak, and aren't as nurtured by the Federation as other places are. They have had to, unlike so many other generations preceding, eke a living out in a hostile environment, tame and terraform their way to a thriving civilization, and they accomplished this with very little help and support from Big Government back home. They are proud of what they have done, but now that their work is just about done, they've made these planets into viable places to live...and the Government, who did so little to help them (or so they feel) has taken their land away and given it to a bunch of filthy spoonheads and you know those Cardassians had been sending rape and pillage parties into Macquis territory for decades and didn't you hear about Celulon 4, a colony of 30,000 people whom the Cardassians disrupted from orbit on a whim? That's the way I see it. The Maquis are wrong, but they have good enough reasons for why they do what they do. Politics isn't a factor for them--they are, in fact, revolting AGAINST politics in general. They're frontiersman with ships. That's what makes Eddington so perfect for them: he's Starfleet through and through, but he dreams of being some revolutionary hero, and the Maquis cause is just pointless enough to work: innocent, hard-working people who just want to defend a land which they feel is theirs by right, who dare to fight the most powerful forces in the galaxy to have their independence. The Maquis would probably have quietly surrendered after a couple years if Eddington hadn't given them hope and tactical prowess.

Even Bashir says that the human brain remains an enduring mystery, so even in the 24th century, the mind is truly the final frontier. If only the Federation hadn't culled all the religious people, they might have a Buddhist hanging around to explain poo poo to them.

Sounds like a Klingon wet dream. Speaking of, is it supposed to be implied that the race of aliens that created all life in the galaxy was genocided by the Klingons? They mention that they killed off their gods, and I would consider it very poetic and appropriate that the Klingons were the last race to be made by the

I guess, but I don't know what to call him. I don't think he qualifies as an "actor" since he doesn't really do any acting. He's basically a professional nerd? What I'm saying is, Wesley needs to get a real job.

Honestly, if the only change this results in is just slightly more bloom, I'm okay with the change. The new Trek universe has been so poorly fleshed out that they can honestly just do the same old poo poo they've always done with Star Trek and barely refer back to the new films. I just don't see how they could ever hope to do anything as complex as Deep Space Nine with the shallow world they are now playing in.

I just want two Trek shows: one a traditional Trek show, like TOS and TNG, and one a spin-off designed to show off a new corner of the universe. Maybe do something kind of weird and have it centered around a restaurant in space. That way you can do lavish sets and have people in civilian clothes, but also have big state dinners and Starfleet officers coming 'round for the best plate of Torellian Squash Maggots in the whole quadrant. Maybe a weird cross between Downton Abbey, Star Trek, and throw in a murder mystery subplot underneath it all. The best part would be to have Hannibal-esque food for all the weird alien dishes, and one of the main cast is a belligerent four-armed alien Frenchman.

Is there any reason to assume that Section 31 is even known by the Federation? I figured they were just bankrolled by particularly rich Federation types and were otherwise effectively a domestic terrorist organization. That's sort of the thing--they're so deep cover, they may as well not actually be covered at all.

counterfeitsaint posted: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. Somehow, I feel like the Dominion would ultimately crumble under its own weight if it took over the Alpha Quadrant. It sort of seems like they are at a breaking point as it is--the Founders are wholly removed from active governance, and their genetic monsters seem to be growing increasingly harder to control.

Gutcruncher posted:Is that a different episode? You learn they're the founders when you learn its all a dream, right? Yes. It's weird, but it shows that the Founders aren't a foe interested in destroying things, they're interested in control. It only seems out of place 'cause you know so little about the Dominion at that point, but by the end of the show the whole sequence demonstrates that A) the Dominion are genetic engineers and seem more comfortable working with biology rather than lifeless technology and B) The Dominion have a strong philosophical creedo behind their actions, and as cruel as they seem, they aren't just murderers--they allow the Federation people to leave the planet of their own free will.

Apparently Shimerman and Auberjonois were, in Auberjonois' words, "very dear friends" in real life and it shows through. That episode was fantastic and justified them turning Odo into a hu-mon for half a season
