Ok, ok. Some good answers here.

Now.

You have to choose which Kai you'd choose to gently caress. Opaka or Winn.



And no, it cant be a holy threesome with Bareil or an Orb.

poo poo like this is why TMP is the best Trek movie. The whole movie is equal parts "genuinely terrifying" and "genuinely beautiful".

Watch it while you're high

By far the best Star Trek movie.

serious post though, TOS had some gorgeous guest stars so at least Gene had good taste

Watching the DS9 episode where people start having their imaginations manifest and Quark gets some babes, Sisko gets a baseball player he was a fan of, Bashir gets Slutty Jadzia, and O'Brien gets fuckin' Rumpelstiltskin.

Also baseball has been an extinct sport for 200 years because no one gave a poo poo about it so maybe the future isn't all bad.

how are the bugs more expensive than the borg? Wasn't it basically the gauold or whatever from stargate?

THIS STARFLEET DUDE HAS AN ALIEN INSIDE OF HIM!?! doesn't seem like it would take much in the way of SFX.

Porthos caused a diplomatic dispute that posed a risk to their ability to trade for spare parts, which posed a risk to their mission to save Earth, which posed a risk to all of humanity

Anyone grew up with an older brother who was into all this stuff probably had an experience like mine-
There's a new Trek coming out. The ship is far away from Federation space so they have to do whatever it takes to get back!
There's a new Trek coming out! It takes place before the original series so tech like the transporter is new and untrusted!
Got it with SW too- prequels! Young Yoda who fights!

So much disappointment.

It was weird when they just started bolting Larry Niven poo poo on there.

Oh yeah, uhh there are Kziniti and check out this weird ancient futuristic tech!

Why didn't anyone try to get Nagilum to help out during the Dominion War? Things got pretty desperate and the Federation almost lost, there's got to be some way somebody could have at least tried to sell Nagilum on helping them out as some kind of research experiment.

Bajorans are NOT Space Jews. They have no industry, they have no worthwhile food, their culture pervades nowhere and is the foundation of no other cultures. Please don't be so offensive.

Bajor's own mis-management of Bajor is not akin to a Genocide. The Cardassians tried to save the Bajorans and when they had enough of the suicide bombings of their industrial works projects designed to stop the famine and left, Bajor went out and founded an indefensible New Bajor colony across the worm hole, in the middle of another year of crop failure on the homeworld mind you, that was wiped out allegedly by the Jem'Hadar, but you and I both know New Bajor got caught up in another fevered season of prayer and not planting so it was a New Famine on New Bajor that claimed them.

She should have gotten pregnant on the ship, Chakotay's, and is found out only by the Doctor doing a scan of the baby. It would be even more shocking, going from intimate lover to self serving traitor.
But no, she did the dirty with a Kazon instead of just loving taking a copy of Voyager's science library and becoming the Stephanie Jobs of the Delta Quadrant selling tech.

"My chief engineer literally re-grew his optic nerves and eyeballs, why can't the Son'a just park in orbit (let alone maybe settle on the whole other side of the planet (what the hell stopped them from doing this decades ago???)) and reap the benefits of this space magic?"
"uhhhhh because reasons. shut up, go gently caress kiss hold hands with your 300+ y.o. girlfriend"


"geordi, we need more impulse speeds!"
"but dude we'll totally blow the intake manifolds (??????????)"
"just do it!!"
*nothing bad happens, the "intake manifolds" are never mentioned again*


"sir, two Son'a starships are attacking us. shall we engage them with our high-energy particle beams and antimatter-warhead missiles?"
"nah, that's boring/too expensive/too similar to Wrath of Khan. let's just lay a big space fart and detonate it in their faces."


"hey, salieri, since we're already planning on destroying a federation starship to eliminate the witnesses, do we really need to bother with hunting them down on the planet?"
"yes. please continue to waste time and resources on this endeavor so i can gloat over them, despite the fact that i was previously pushing to totally disregard their lives and just let them burn to death on the planet following our super-technobullshit plan."


"yo admiral isn't it kind of a colossal waste to do a one-time finite extraction of the magical fountain-of-youth particles when we ought to be building orbital resorts that can be used indefinitely? especially when doing it that way would negate any need to work with these loving assholes or interfere with the hippie white people commune on the surface?"
"uhhhhhhhhhhhh"


why are all the baku so incredibly white


why is it so hard for the son'a to loving find and deal with a few thousand people on foot? send some shuttles down and hose them down with phasers on stun, or knockout gas, or even holy poo poo just land like a few dozen dudes who can overwhelm a few starfleet dudes and dudettes?



why is michael piller writing this folksy "well gee when you build machines to do work you diminish yourself in the process" bullshit in a loving STAR TREK




why is piller writing in a small child for Data to intimidate??

I'm watching the DS9 episodes where Sisko, Dax and Bashir get beamed back to the 21st century for the riots or whatever.

I remember thinking the first time I saw this "LOL, there's no way any of this would happen by 2024, things are going so great!"

Now I'm like "Unemployment ghettos and labor riots is a really optimistic portrayal of the US in eight years."

I got 5 episodes into Farscape before I had to quit. I like the concept and I'm all for Henson Co. puppetry, but it just didn't click with me. The only episode I liked was the reverse ET episode.

Three different people have tried to get me to watch Dr. Who, and each one showed me their idea of "a great episode that will get you hooked". They were all bad, and two of the episodes had that doctor that looks like Odo's ugly younger brother.

now imagine you're just coming off of seven years of painfully mediocre/lovely Voyager episodes, the producers have been swearing up and down for months that Enterprise is going to be soooooo different and so much better... and you've just finished watching this turd. oh look, they took their normal scripts and did a find-replace where they replaced "shields" with "hull plating", that's... something.

i immediately gave up on the series right there and then. i remember a couple years on people saying "oh the series started to get okay" and i still wanted absolutely nothing to do with the show because of how incredibly burned i felt over the first episode. fool me once... shame on... shame on you... you fool me can't get fooled again!



and then nemesis came out the next year
