Though actually it's pretty ironic Barclay is so at home on the holodeck, considering all the wild poo poo that happens there and way more often than transporter accidents.

Aside from the silly guns the other thing I remember about Elite Force was the roleplay server(s) where you just hung around on Voyager doing nerdy Star Trek poo poo, which I guess was built off the "explore Voyager just like in the show!!!!" mode. But the most important detail is that one of the non-combat "weapons" was Coffee, Black. John Murdoch fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Der Kyhe posted:Unfortunately they most of the time forgot to show Worf actually being competent security officer. Worf served the important story purpose of pushing for a more direct, pragmatic, and ultimately militaristic solution...so Picard could then shoot him down and try and use his signature diplomacy skills instead. And then complications would inevitably arise and he'd sigh and go "okay Mr. Worf, you may now fire phasers at the problem".

Though honestly when I think of Worf as chief of security, I think of the time when...uh was it some Cardassians? came on board and he proposed to Picard that they probably shouldn't let them freely wander around sensitive areas of the ship like it was some brand new security paradigm. Though I'm not sure that reflects poorly on Worf so much as Starfleet in general.

Rynder posted:I'm on The Inner Light and it's a great episode as always, but I never thought about how horrible people from the destroyed planet were. Hey let's lock some poor future person in an O'Brien-esque mind prison for an entire lifetime, then permanently traumatize them by ripping it all away. Hopefully they'll like the flute! What's always been hilarious to me is that it's the exact same premise as the classic Alan Moore Superman story "For The Man Who Has Everything" except there it's explicitly a villainous act and Superman drat near kills the dude over it.

MikeJF posted:The worst part these days when I watch it is the jarring shift back to a really bad interlaced NTSC transfer every time effects come up because of the whole fuckup where the master tapes were lost and they had to pull any shot with rendered effects off of videotape and the quality plummets and also they had to zoom and crop them for some reason to make it even worse. Can confirm. The graininess is still noticeable at times, but it's still a big step up from the previous digital version where it teetered on being unwatchable.
