Since we're doing Scotty talk, in case anyone doesn't know -- his actor, Jimmy Doohan, was missing the middle finger on his right hand. They used a hand double for closeups and he was careful to hide it, but you can see it in a couple of scenes if you look quickly. How did he lose the fingat?  A machine gun burst on Juno Beach, D-Day after he personally killed at least two Germans And the bullet that took his fingat? It would have gone through his chest except it was deflected by Doohan's loving cigarette case. He quite literally gave the Nazis the finger.* (* Actually it was friendly fire but whatever.)

Apropos of uniform talk, do you guys think Riker used to wear a skant and then Basic Instinct the bridge crew whenever he could, at least until Picard ordered him to knock it off? Because that's my new headcanon. Imaging being at helm or ops and Riker comes over and plants his outside leg on the bar of your console. You try to keep focused on your LCARS panel, no chance you're going to look at Riker's trombone. Suddenly, a Romulan warbird decloaks and fires, you hear an explosion over your shoulder, and without thinking wheel your head to look, and FFS there it is just flopping there. "See something you like, Lieutenant?" he asks sotto voce, winks so that only you can see it, spins away slowly enough so that you can see it languidly glide through the shadows as the skant falls to cover it, and then all business he bellows, "Red Alert"...

I'm pretty sure this was discussed in the thread, but I can't remember. I know Forbes was approached for DS9. Did she refuse on David Caruso grounds, that it was time for her to break into movies? Or was it to avoid typecasting? Sorry, thinking about Riker's 10 Forward (if you know what I mean) has sort of flustered my brain and I don't remember the reason. e: nthing the Jellicoe love. When they say Starfleet's not a military organization I believe it, because in a real space navy pissbabby Riker would have been court martialled for refusing direct and lawful orders in a theatre of armed conflict (or whatever the JAG-ease is for this).

But are you going to tell me the Search for Spock is a better movie than First Contact? Correct Answer: 10 < 9 < 7 << 3 < (5 = 1 = 8)# < 4 << 2 < 6 [Nominal ranking: 5 < 1 < 8 but it's almost apples & oranges] But I'm a filthy Dr. Who fan so what do I know?

Bogus Adventure posted:Yeah, it's an action movie with special effects. It's a decent action movie, but it's an action movie with Star Trek decorations that takes the Moby Dick route once more. Unlike Wrath of Khan, where Kirk is the white whale to Khan's Ahab, Picard is the Ahab to the Borg Queen's white whale. Also, First Contact doesn't end with the death of a beloved character, whose potential return is teased at the end of the movie. It's decent, and one of the few TNG movies where I felt good after walking out of the theater, but I don't ever get the hankering to rewatch First Contact like I do with the TOS movies. Alfre Woodard and James Cromwell also do a lot of heavy lifting toward making the film watchable.

Ghostlight posted:they're not even zombies anymore. like, the whole thing with zombies is they represent a loss of autonomy and humanity - they are a debasement of everything we identify as human. the borg don't even threaten that anymore because you can just go into surgery and pull out the toaster parts and you barely even have ptsd from the thousands of people you killed. post-voyager being borged is like taking some bad acid in a foreign city where sure you're trapped in this deeply unpleasant experience right now but to get through it you just need to keep in mind that at the end of it will be a nice warm hospital bed and a return flight home. In a slightly different dimension, TNG S4E1 begins not with the inverse graviton pulse failing against the Borg cube, but instead with Picard waking up in a hotel bathtub full of ice. Written in lipstick across the mirror is "Call Dr. Crusher." Picard turns to look at his side and there is a fresh, sloppily stitched incision directly over his kidney ** Horns blare the opening credits music **

It's Ellen Cleghorn playing Guinan. I'm sort of struck by how bad the skit was. Not just bad writing, but subpar work from all the cast except Tim Meadows, Cleghorn, Sweeney, (can't believe I'm going to say this) Rob Schneider, and Al Franken (who I think was the Ferengi). Farley's Riker walk was funny (always walk as though you have to batter a door down with the side of your forehead!) but he big time flubbed at least one cue/line. Oh man I forgot how bad a cast member Melanie Hutzel was. Sucky civilians: not just the administrators (don't forget the guy on K-7 in Trouble with Tribbles!) but the ambassadors too. Fox is the only terrible one I can remember specifically but I'm p sure there's at least one other terribad (not counting Sarek who's awesome and the various aliens from Journey to Babel). I was having trouble winding down tonight, nothing on TV, didn't want to start something new so I watched Take Me Out to the Holosuite. I've only seen it once before, maybe 10 years ago. Good but not as great as I remembered (Magnificent Ferengi will be my next DS9 45 minute time waster); it was notable because there was no real B story to the plot.

He was on the Away Team, and did you know he just happens to have a PhD in exobotany from before he joined Starfleet? Yeah, it's his hobby, and since he's a Starfleet officer, so we thought it would be safer for him to do the initial analysis. I'm sure he'll let you look at his notes, maybe review the paper he's submitting to the Vulcan Science Academy's conference..."

Wah and the Star Trek production staff argued they bought it off the shelf instead of commissioning it but that was dubious and the union had evidence this was not the case. The union agreed to drop the dispute if Wah was not paid for the model and the studio gave the model back. In a fit of understandable pique Wah took the model into his back yard and smashed it with a sledge hammer.
