There was a Voyager episode where the Leonardo Davinci hologram gets the Doctors mobile emitter and he and Janeway have an adventure. Its a dumb episode with a doofy premise, but the episode begins with a group of small ships showing up, knocking Voyagers shields out, beaming a bunch of their cool stuff away, then running like hell. Voyager is out in the dangerous neighborhood and gets mugged, then they spend the episode having get their poo poo back. I actually liked that this was something that could not have been done on other Star Treks, where Picard could just call space AAA and retreat to his ready room to listen to public domain crap for a couple days till the tow arrives.

It's been established since TOS that Vulcans feel but repress.

There was also a TNG episode about an ancient Vulcan weapon from back when they allowed their ultra intense emotions to run wild. There's also the episode with Alzheimer's Serek and his emotions were more than Picard could handle.

I like how they couldnt really decide what rank Obrien had on TNG so they kept just kinda throwing pins at his neck.

Why even have all these rooms the Enterprise has? Fencing room, just use a holodeck. Courtroom, holodeck. Hot-rear end mirror room, holodeck. And unrelated, I love how they dont seem to bother securing anything. One of the only good things ST:Enterprise did was actually take real ship and submarine design philosophy for their poo poo and SECURE HEAVY OR BREAKABLE THINGS

All of Worfs knives and swords and dangerous pointy trophies shred the poo poo our of his upholstery and he's gotta replace his furniture every goddamn week.

Delsaber posted:Those fighters show up a couple times on DS9 I think. The Maquis stole a bunch of them, then later Sisko throws waves of them against the Dominion fleet to die horribly like he's Zap Brannigan or something. NERDYTHEROY Maybe they simply take less materials than runabouts which are big and intended for longish trips? Real reason is of course "because shut up"

Rynder posted:Eh. Wasn't a D'deridex the size of like, 5 enterprises? Plus I assume to cloak the whole thing used a ton of power. I assumed it's why they were the only race shown (?) to use something other than dilithium, a black hole provides a lot more energy for their dumb big ships. The ship would be a much more manageable size if they didnt have the huge loving HOLE in the middle!

DS9 owns cuz Worf shows up and immediately begins kicking asses and then continues kicking asses for 4 seasons.

How come it took me over 20 years to notice that Betazoid eyes are black? I remember the Voyager murderer betazoid had them but I thought it was just him having crazyeyes.

I finally went and watched Enterprise Season 4 and while I wouldnt call it great or anything, its pretty clear that if the show started like that it wouldve probably gotten the whole seven seasons and possibly even become great after another season or two. Like Voyager, just one big wasted opportunity

Non-citizens of the federation can totally join Starfleet. Besides in Worfs case it seems likely that his parents would've gone through the proper hoops to get their son citizenship

BTW the US Military allows non-citizens to serve and France has a military branch made almost entirely of non-citizens. Its not that silly an idea.

Having the lead Bajoran character in DS9 be someone not associated with the Federation or Starfleet was a much better decision in the end anyways.

Its funny how a major plot point in DS9 is the fact that omnipotent beings live right outside the station but it never really just pointlessly falls back on them as a story crutch. It would be so drat easy to just go "uhhh... then the gods do stuff"

Neither of those were pulling a get-out-of-jail out of their asses though. The prophets/pawraith stuff in the finale mightve been dumb, but it was definitely being worked towards for like half the season. Deleting the Dominion fleet might have not been worked towards for the whole arc, or even the whole episode, but it wasnt some writer's asspull. The episode largely involved the people on the station disabling the station's weapons to prevent destroying the minefield. Rom in fact did manage to disable the weapons but like a second too late. If the writers were just going "eh I dont know how to end this arc, just do whatever" then Rom either would have succeeded or everyone on the station would just be standing around going "gosh I wonder how we're gonna get out of this one" the whole episode.

Enterprise was cool because the inside of the ship is like a submarine or something, and everything serves a purpose and cargo is actually secured. Also the uniforms are functional and have pockets. End of compliments.

DS9's amazing because an episode starring one of the kids and a holodeck character ends up being great. DS9's cool like that.

Besides just going hog wild with colors because OH poo poo COLORS, it was their way of telling everyone "hey this set is the same loving set for a trillionth time, but you see the walls have different colored lights therefore its a totally different room. trust us"
