Screening for what?

The DS9 Documentary 'What We Left Behind' was in theaters for just today only, although they are going to be streaming it on some sites by the end of the year supposedly

The documentary was good but there's just so much they left out since it's a 2 hour documentary. It needed to be a longer form documentary to really cover everything well. A lot of topics get like 2 minutes of discussion and then they move on

The main draw is probably the interviews and the new HD footage from the show that they worked on

that might be my favorite moment from TNG

At first I was like "oh poo poo the one that Christopher Lloyd made them blow up" but then I remember that that was actually the original Enterprise that had been retrofitted, and the 1701-A was in Final Frontier and Undiscovered Country and presumably lasted for many years afterward until retirement.

I always make that mistake...

At the end of The Undiscovered Country, Uhura gets a transmission from Starfleet that the Ent-A is to be decommissioned. Which is weird because according to Memory Alpha that means it's only in service for 7 years (the end of The Voyage Home to the end of TUC is apparently a 7 year period).

I figure he has only two settings - being sad himself, or making everyone else sad by being alive.

God this reminds me of that Voyager episode where Neelix dies and finds out there is no god and then wants to kill himself

How about, like, there's a road race that the crew has to win? With like racing team uniforms and everything. But with spaceships of course.

Trying to remember, but is that the stupid one where some AI or something gets into the Delta Flyer and Paris falls in love with it

No, that's a different episode. They find a junked shuttle in a scrap field with a neural interface and a mental projection of an attractive woman, Paris becomes her interfaced pilot and it turns into your typical addiction/enabler story.

Look, sometimes you just gotta gently caress the hot ship

The general premise of the Picard show has been reported as the fall out of Romulus being destroyed, right? That teaser mentions a rescue armada so I could see Picard being broken by the devastation or getting there a moment too late to do anything. He tosses his commision and goes back to making wine where his family all burned alive in a house fire in the 24th century.

Yes it�s post-destruction of Romulus

I really wonder if Beverly died on the Enterprise trying to rescue people or something. I feel like it can�t just be �oh no, too many people died�

Trek just going along with JJ's terrible "Entire Romulan Empire... uh exploded, that's why my space miners are so mad!" thing as cannon and not just some dumb side-universe bullshit is really depressing. I was hoping they would have just ignored the movies and let them do their own thing.

It�s just Romulus/Remus as far as we know

There was a lot of stuff that was never really explained. They teased the mysterious Future Guy for multiple seasons and then never explained what his deal was. Apparently the plan was for him to be a future version of Archer, maybe from a different timeline. I'm just glad that they concluded that arc so we didn't have to deal with its nonsense for the entire show's run.

Obviously the Federation lost a war or something there. It is the only explanation.

The UFP gets the short end of the stick on a lot of treaties for no real reason (see- Treaty of Algeron, where the UFP is banned from researching or making cloaking tech but it�s a-ok for the Romulans to do it).

Maquis were so bad and so loving wrong. Their entirely arguments boiled down to sacred clay and gold-fringed flags. They were a mix of settler-colonialist nationalists and free-men-on-the-land all LARPing as oppressed freedom fighters.

Pretty much yes. I hope the writers were never trying to make us side with them because they sure as hell never came off as anything but unlikable douches.

Do it. Watch Voyager. I myself still need to watch Nemesis, Into Darkness and Beyond. I swear, I'm gonna do it some day. I have seen everything else, what's another six hours?

Beyond is mostly forgettable but it's definitely not deserving of being in the same conversation as Nemesis and Into Darkness.

so I finally sat down and shotgunned the last two episodes of Voyager

anticlimactic.

I couldnt even be arsed to pause it at the final screen in order to ID the different starships out of the fleet that showed up at the wormhole

I was going to rewatch DS9 but it occurs to me that I've missed most of TOS... time to remedy that.

I think the only notable ship you see in that fleet is a Prometheus class

Other than that it's the usual Akiras/Nebulas

Colonel Cancer posted:

Those aliens that steal your kidneys and other giblets and staple them onto their face were pretty cool imo

The Vidiians were interesting but like with most Voyager aliens, poorly used

Like there�s a whole episode where one of their scientists splits B�Elanna into one fully Klingon person and one fully human person. How do you even do that. Then they kill off the Klingon B�Elanna but the regular human one is ok and they just fix this somehow? The bonus stupidity of the episode is that the Vidiian scientist wants to gently caress Klingon B�Elanna but she is not interested, so to win her over the scientist kills a captured Red Shirt and puts that Red Shirt�s face over his own like he�s Leatherface.

Two of my favorite Dukat moments are him doing the �I hosed your mom� call and also in �Civil Defense� where he shows up on the station to gloat about the security system killing the DS9 crew only for him to get trapped because his superiors back then didn�t trust him and put in a fail safe if he tried to abandon his post
