Dear Starfleet Command, Today we found some space hippies. The space hippies played us a song and then they hijacked our ship to a planet called Eden but the planet was all acid and it burned their feet (ow!). Also a guy named Adam died on Eden from taking a bite of a fruit, har har. Oh, and they called me a Herbert. I don't like space hippies. Love, Captain James T. Kirk

FilthyImp posted:My guess is a Full Betazoid with The Sum Totality of Their Psychic Powers would go back to that poster saying it would solve all the plot. Troi never really went for the "torn between two worlds" thing, though. Yeah, her Betazoid powers were kind of gimped by her human half, but she didn't really fret about that.

Met posted:Ears are hard, man. Nipples are easy. He probably didn't want her feeling like she was loving a ken doll. Reminder that Odo's uniform was a shapeshifted extension of his body. He was just walking around starkers all the time. There wasn't anything under those beige velour trousers except changeling goo. He pretty much WAS a Ken doll.

Automatic Slim posted:Come to think of it, like GoT or BSG, have major characters die and pick up new ones on the way would've been excellent. Janeway dying mid way through the second season should've been the way to go. They kind of did that though, at least once. Kes didn't exactly die, but eh, close enough. And in an astonishing coincidence, this happened at almost exactly the same time they picked up Seven.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:This goes back to the TNG tech manual where they said the warp nacelles were by far the densest parts of the ship. The warp coils are supposedly loving massive. So in theory, whenever the ship gets knocked around by Q or Tin Man or whatever and goes sailing off in a flat spin, it should be spinning around the nacelles instead of around a point more-or-less in the middle of the ship. ... We're putting more thought into this than the show runners ever did, aren't we?

cheerfullydrab posted:There are people who literally would like just the battle scenes from Battlestar Galactica interspersed with ads for energy drinks. There are fans who make those for themselves -- they computer render really long, really neat-looking battle sequences featuring the starships from their favorite sci-fi universe(s). Some people love them. I've never even made it all the way through one, even though I usually love the big space battles. (I could watch Enterprise vs. Reliant or the battle of New Caprica all day.) But without even the barest hint of storyline other than "the Romulan warbirds are attacking and those Excelsiors are the defense", there's absolutely nothing to hold my interest. The special effects in these things can be surprisingly decent, and I'm sure the creator thought of all kinds of clever tactics to have the ships do. But I don't actually CARE.

Count the cores:  For a full discussion of this and many other Voyager inconsistencies (such as just how many shuttles and torpedoes they burned through over the years), see this page. For crew inconsistencies (i.e. they went through HOW many redshrts but always somehow had a full crew complement?), there's another entire page for that. You know what, I'm just going to link to the impressively long master list of all these investigations: http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/inconsistencies.htm

The Endbringer posted:In the episode with the spore plants that make everyone happy, Spock tells that girl who loves him that he has another name but she "wouldn't be able to pronounce it" Once the actress who played Amanda was at a convention, and during the Q&A, the fans begged her to tell them what Spock's first name was, since if anyone would know it would be his mom, right? She paused for a long moment, then with a perfectly straight face, she said "Harold" and moved on to the next question.

FilthyImp posted:There was a companion series around at the same time Andromeda was launched that was also a Roddenberry, right? All I can remember is TekWar (which is wrong) but the other series was about Earth being at peace with Aliens who visited but they're not on the level or something Earth: Final Conflict. I never watched it but I remember the marketing really playing up that it was developed from something that Roddenberry had once scrawled on a napkin.

Fat Shat Sings posted:if it's the typical "improve voyager" effort post it's going to be like "blahblah make it have stakes blahblah battlestar galactica blah resets blah supply constraints blah year of hell blah actors allowed to act blah" Okay then, let's come up with new ones. Voyager should have been a musical. Like Cop Rock, but done right, and also in space. With Delta Quadrant themed songs, like rap battles between Kazon factions. What Voyager really needed was gritty realism. Like in a typical episode they fly to New York and it's 1971 and Harry witnesses a murder but if he testifies the Mob will come after him. Four little words: gratuitous Neelix nude scene. Go!

Fat Shat Sings posted:I guess it was alright for the shows writers to use current at the time paradoxes and mysteries since creating one wouldn't have been relate able "Gorblox's Theorum of Gnn'ggh!" but suggesting something would remain unsolved for 350 more years is funny when we solve it 20 years later. Six years, actually. But you know what, I'll allow it. There's ZERO chance that Fermat used the same reasoning as Wiles did. So if Fermat had an actual proof in mind, it relied on reasoning that we still haven't figured out. (Personally I think the most likely explanation is that Fermat was just mistaken, and if he'd actually written down what he was thinking about, he would have gone "aw gently caress, that doesn't actually work after all, does it". But then I might be wrong.) And besides, Jadzia Dax once remarked that Tobin's approach to the problem was "the most original approach to the proof since Wiles over 300 years ago." The proof had been published only a month before that episode aired.
