Speaking of DS9 gifts, I bought a Feltman-Langer "raktajino" mug for my wife but it's got flamingos and stuff on it. What's a good food-safe paint/enamel to use to turn it into a Terok Nor commissary blue?

Mulgrew had some harsh words about how her character was written. I think she said Janeway must have been a psychopath or something like that, it's been a while.

Also has anyone ever counted the number of times they say "some kind of ..." cause that is one well the writers went to so many drat times. I think Voyager may be worse than TNG.

I just gotta say that Paramount Plus is the jankiest piece of poo poo I've ever been forced to watch something on. Everything is always hosed up except the ads they find a way to Kramer into everything despite claims of ad-free. What gives!

Me trying to watch Star Trek, but first I have to watch an ad.

The ad: Hey! Have you heard of star Trek!? Here on Paramount plus! Don't you want to watch Star Trek!?

Me: I'm loving trying to

mfw Paramount perfectly loads teaser, Paramount logo, and ad for SNW only to have literal 80s style encoding glitches in both audio and visual channels for the show I'm actually trying to watch

This is the watch list I just went through

Pilot
2x15 Threshold
2x16 Meld
2x23 The Thaw

3x26 Scorpion
4x8 Year of Hell
4x23 Living Witness

I bet those were inspired by Automats. I'm not sure if american automats were still around in the 60s, but they were certainly in living memory.


The way they worked was that there was a big kitchen on the other side that kept all the little compartments stocked with fresh food.

Add voice controls and a bit of futurist automation and you just say what you want and get it in moments, but you still are only choosing from whatever the kitchen has cooked up that day.

The last automat closed in 1991.

if star trek were written again today it wouldnt have a naval command structure

both because people dont like that kind of tv anymore and because it doesnt mesh with updated views of a utopian future

Yeah definitely people don't like procedurals based on ranked organizations these days for sure

Enterprise had an episode (Oasis) where they find a disabled ship and most of the crew is holograms, specifically to raise and provide a community for a child

The second one is DS9's Shadowplay, notable for Odo turning into a top to amuse a hologram child

Wow the crew in Enterprise is dumb as poo poo, about halfway into season 2. I'm actually not absolutely hating it like I did the tail end of Voyager but these dumbasses are like, just dropping their crazy sci-fi tech on low tech planets constantly.

Seems like every loving time it's Malcolm or Hoshi. Mostly Malcolm.

"Set Personality preset 'Juliet-Four-Four-Alpha'"

"Insert character into program; 'Dominatrix Dungeon, Version Four."

"Execute Program and Engage".

Man your code's all hosed up, check this out:

"Computer start BDSM Dungeon program 3"

"Change Dom avatar to match Counselor Troi"

It's so loving bad. Everything is like a highschool play, and all of the melodrama and pseudo -character development is completely unearned. It switches tone from grimdark to an episode of Gilmore Girls to a soap opera often within the same episode and everybody involved with it should be embarrassed
