the most bonkers thing of all is that webster with all the energy of a 70s sitcom went off the air only a year before the fresh prince of bel-air formally welcomed everyone into the 90s and 00s vibe.

It was the late 80s, they were living it up in the future, you were no longer limited to three networks to choose from, but now had four* plus PBS! So many choices. Only the best of the best in entertainment could survive with competition from so many other networks. *Depending on if Fox was airing in your region, and also what time of day it was

That KFC Star Trek ad seriously blew me away. Great production values, and I really thought some of those actors were the original cast. Or real close.

lol Chakotay built up in the open of The Fight to be some kind of trained boxer and when he swings on Tuvok he gets absolutely big brothered. Chakotay blows.

Tuvok: I apologize but I must excuse myself. I seem to be experiencing an emotion, second hand embarrassment.

He's such an unfortunate character. He comes across as a fair and good commander but is saddled with all the achoochiemoya my people have a saying crap and just isn't cool on the heels of Riker where of course there's going to be a comparison. Also you get a little piece of the personal connection he has with Janeway on their bathtub planet episode but it doesn't go too deep ever again and with no one else, either as a good friend or anything beyond that. I'm almost half way through S1 DS9 for the first time as I skipped most on my original watch through. Nothing great so far except the characters. Bashir isn't likable though. Also a lot of the time it doesn't look great, like it was filmed through a white filter on the lens.

I liked when some guy was being an rear end in a top hat and Chakotay confronted him in the mess hall and the guy is like "We're supposed to be Maquis, this isn't how we do things" and Chakotay says "Oh you wanna do things the Maquis way?" and loving decks him and knocks him to the ground.

The only Chakotay scene I liked was towards the end of the run, when it's revealed that yet another member of his bridge crew was a spy for yet another faction, and he's like "Was anyone on that ship actually working for me?"

Year later it turns out that after Eddington got got the entire Maquis was like 20 guys. The rest were all spies. If every intelligence agency in the quadrant hadn't been tripping over themselves to embed agents the organization wouldn't have been able to do any terrorisms at all.

Watched the DS9 ep where the shuttle crashes on the planet it’s 2 warring factions and nanites that prevent them from dying, real good sci fi bones which I love. Funny how the Kai decides she wants to stay on the death and killing planet living in a cave.

I have only the vaguest of ideas about what DS9's vibe is in the long run but Vortex feels like the episode that kickstarts it.

If we assume I wasn’t such an odd child that my interests couldn’t represent a baseline (I know. We all know.), then extremely bad sitcoms might have been that decades beige equivalent of Skibidi Toilet.

Do trill and symbiotes have a different pool of names, or does it ever happen that someone ends up being called “Dax Dax”?

I forget Jeffrey Combs is the space gladiator slaver in Voyager. Nothing this guy can't do. Also more Chakotay boxing lore. Edit: drat, I'd recognize Martok's voice anywhere. He's pretty cool as the Hirogen pit fighter. TheKingslayer fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Apr 19, 2024 |

The original Enterprise model that was used in the opening credits has been returned to Roddenberry's son. He wants it to go somewhere the public can view it after it is restored. https://apnews.com/article/star-trek-uss-enterprise-roddenberry-e3cea04b05ae5c24130d144a0b38d051

Yeah the article says this is the first one. The larger one came later.quote:The 3-foot (0.91-meter) model of the USS Enterprise was used in the show’s original pilot episode as well as the opening credits of the resulting TV series, and was the prototype for the 11-foot (3-meter) version featured in the series’ episodes.

 Tuvok is the man. Watching DS9 again I'm thinking Major Kira might be a good candidate for all star crew just to get nasty in combat situations. In the death and rebirth war moon ep when the bad guys charge into the cave she doesn't hesitate to do a combat roll, grab a phaser and blast a dude.
