Imagine being a daycare teacher on your first day on the Enterprise, just back from the briefing where they told you what red alert means and you figure, okay, pretty intense, but surely it's one of those things you need to know on a ship like this but no one anticipates an actual emergency and it just keeps going off

Commence separation maneuver. Commence connecting maneuver. Commence separation maneuver. Commence connecting maneuver. Commence separation maneuver. Commence connecting maneuver, deeper. Captain, if we used the sex drive to slightly reposition ourselves, we could achieve a more than 37% increase in separation and reconnection speed. - Make it so. Commander Riker, I want you to execute the maneuver manually. oh yeah baby keep going don't worry I've had my Jefferies tubes tied

How do you come up with and shoot an episode like Yesterday's Enterprise and not have Worf appear at the end as the Klingon captain, that kind of twist should have been TV writing 101 even in the 90s.

Imagine living next to Worf like you're that daycare teacher fresh from the red alert briefing and you're told, oh yeah your quarters are next to the chief of security's. Oh good, you think, he's probably pretty straight laced but bound to be a professional, maybe I'll get to know him. And I mean you'd be right in a way but

Danaru posted:We look for things that make us go Communist Walrus posted:Giving up on makeup and saying "ah gently caress it, they're still aliens" is a rich Trek tradition. See also Troi, Guinan, Malcolm McDowell in Generations, the immortal muck farmers in Insurrection, and a bunch more that I'm probably forgetting. Like they don't even give any of them a wacky hairstyle. On the one hand it was pretty clever to make the Pakled all fat and jolly looking and it would have been neat if they'd similarly made some budget alien civilizations just by casting actors who are really tall or short or bald have some other common external characteristic. On the other that kind of approach needs a very sensitive touch or you get Ligonians.

Facebook Aunt posted:A problem for dealing with holo Doctors who are unfit for purpose is what do you do with them? You can't just discharge them to find their own way because they need a specialized environment with holo-emitters everywhere. (Assuming they didn't have the ability to just replicate portable emitters for all.) They aren't programed to enjoy just sitting around doing nothing, they need purpose.

Makes me wonder if Phil Farrand watches Picard and writes about it. Probably still in shock from the swearing, if so. e: or frantically rewriting his TNG books because Picard added new elements to The Canon

Allegiance was an interesting one to watch against the background of the current "how much does the crew learn" question. Like, if you're Picard, do you eventually tell everyone who was in Ten Forward that it was an impostor, or do you swallow your pride and let them believe that sometimes the Captain holds a singalong session? e: and hypothetically if you ever get made into a puppet of Starfleet's greatest enemy and used to murder hundreds of your peers, are you ever tempted to reuse the impostor excuse?

You start out like "I worked so hard to get assigned to the Enterprise, it's everyone's dream to work under Captain Picard, I'm so glad it worked out" and three weeks later you're holed up in a Jefferies tube with an illegal subspace transmitter frantically broadcasting PLEASE GET ME THE HELL OFF THIS SHIP I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW STARFLEET DAYCARES ARE RUN on Romulan hailing frequencies

It's been actual decades since I've read Phil Farrand's pedantic books but I distincly remember him extrapolating that Riker's love interest must have a penis and going on about how he didn't have him down as someone interested in, I believe the phrase was "flat-chested boys".
