I don't necessarily disagree with putting it in JJ Trek. Alright, vulcans be hosed and I'm sure it'll be an annoying recurrence. But I feel no matter what they did, they'd still put in nonsensical revelations and discoveries about all the races they've established. Might as well do it in place where things were different and aren't cannon anymore. Alternate cannon or whatever.

What matters is letting Meyer do whatever he wants.

Bester was a cool character, I should finish b5.

I dunno. Season 5 lacks the goodness of seasons prior and they completely ruin Lennier in like the third last episode or something.

Milky Moor posted:

Not really?

Lennier's been resenting Sheridan since like Season 3 - and he even joins the Rangers early in Season 5 in the hopes that Delenn will turn around and love him instead (I think he even literally says 'So I'll be worthy of your eyes' or something like that).

It just feels wrong. Like lennier doesn't, shouldn't have that kind of thought process. I believe he'd serve delenn till he died (like he'd move on with his life if she died first), but to actively kill a friend. No, it's weird and doesn't belong. Maybe like a moment of maybe. I dunno, it's just not right for the character.

The problem is JMS is a goon lord and doesn't see anything wrong with it. Or the weird future Marcus cloning Ivanova and stranding them on a planet to live out happily ever after thing.

Lt. Tuvok's Ball Busting Training is a weird episode to close the season off with. I actually kind of like the Neelix episode before.

I would watch Star Trek: Federation's Worst Cadets with Tuvok.

They don't have that excuse because DS9 was already doing serialized stories when Voyager premiered.

I seem to recall reading that the writers said "yeah, we'll wrap this up in a few episodes" and then dragged it on forever. And good on them. Berman said gently caress it, and started voyager

Reminder: Archer let an entire species die out even though Phlox could cure their disease because they weren't warp capable.

This is the future, and that's super fast. Space miles per hour, or GigaMiles/hour.

Also, this this the future, it would kilometers. Gigakilometers.

edit:

quote:

Enterprise, set in 2151 and onwards, follows the voyages of the first human ship capable of traveling at warp factor 5.2, which under the old warp table formula, is about 140 times the speed of light. In the episode, "Broken Bow", which is the series' pilot episode, Capt. Archer equates warp 4.5 to "Neptune and back [from Earth] in six minutes." There are two reasons why this is not in conflict with statements in previously-aired Star Trek series, set after the time of Enterprise, which declare that use of warp drive within a solar system presents extreme danger to both ship and surrounding planets. First, Archer was simply mentioning familiar landmarks as a way to comprehend how much faster his new ship was than any Earth vessel which had come before. Second, those future cautions were uttered in an era of hundredfold greater traffic concentrated around major spaceports. Flying randomly at high speed a mile above Manhattan is frowned upon today; in 1916, no one would have been close enough to notice.
What the gently caress does this have to do with anything?

None of that explains why the science super ship's inaugural mission was to track down some dangerous terrorists tho.

Some admiral who pushed for the design said it would be a great ship to do the job. To show the ship could stand the rigors of terrible space and armed enough to deal with the unknowns too.

I dunno six bucks a month doesn't seem terrible. If you could pick the 3 or 4 networks that have shows you wanna watch, you'd be paying 20 a month for it, and that's reasonable to me.

But odds are I won't be able to get all access in Canada so whatever. Yarr.

Haven't seen any of these shows in the better part of a decade, so they are all new to me

going to slog through S2E02 and 03 tonight, insh'Allah
