They would be wearing holo clothes on top of their jumpsuits though. Unless you want everyone to go onto the holodeck naked. You really want to be in the room with a naked Neelix?

Harveygod posted:Deep Space 9: Except because DS9 has an internal continuity, the irony is not lost on Sisko. I love how Quark just revels in finally finding out that Sisko has a price. He is willing to drat himself for the greater good. And even though he claims he can live with it, there is just that slight inflection when he repeats himself that suggests he is being torn up inside for going against his morals. Seriously, just listen to this monologue. It is amazing.

Ezri is a better counselor than Troi is, and she actually became a commissioned officer despite being a neurotic wreck half the time. Though I always thought it was weird that it was never addressed again on DS9 that the 1 in 100 Trills are compatible with symbionts line was just government propaganda. It was a lie put in place so the truth would not get out about widespread compatibility, but that would mean that Ezri should have had no issues undergoing the transfer from Jadzia. I guess Ezri was an emotional wreck even before she had Dax put in her.

I like his earlier rant in that episode where he takes the piss out of Picard's speech from First Contact. "The Line has to be drawn here! This far and no further!"

Urgh, why is every Gul Dukat episode after Waltz such a letdown? Some of them aren't even bad, like the one where he prank calls Kira to say he hosed her mother, but they just aren't as good as the ones before his psychotic breakdown.

Figaro posted:I remember some (hopefully minority) of DS9 fans back in the day wanting a Dukat/Kira romance. Particularly during season 4 and 5, it was all pretty gross. Mmm genocide of my peoples what a turn on! I like how they taunted those fans with the episode where Dukat gets Ziyal back. He and Kira have all this goofy antics going on in the cave where they "bond", and then Dukat immediately follows it up by declaring vengeance on everyone who wronged him after the moment passes.

Baronjutter posted:Yeah that's a bad scify trope that always gets me spergin'. You're never going to be within visual range of 2 asteroids, let alone a field so dense you need to do fancy flying. Unless a planet or something just exploded like a year ago. Much as the Star Wars expanded Universe could become ludicrous nonsense, I liked their justification for the asteroid cluster near Hoth. It was the result of two planets colliding and being responsible for the frequent meteor showers across the planet.

We only ever see the one guy use it. Are they all former Franklin crew members or are they natives of the planet? Where did they come from? Whats going on The alien life leeching device had a side effect of making him look like the alien society that left behind the drone army and swarm ships. The other guy who wasn't a drone was the only other surviving member of the Franklin's crew.

The JJ movies version of the Federation looks like the Federation from Starship Troopers, right down to the grey, fascist inspired uniforms. At least in Beyond they got some nice blue field jackets that reminded me of the decent costuming from Enterprise.

That makes no sense though, why would the universal translator need to be recalibrated for her? She could just speak English.

So part of her lying was spending 150 years developing a functioning alien language so far removed from English that the universal translator could only translate into robot speak? Wait, I'm over thinking this. I liked the movie.

shovelbum posted:I haven't looked at the timeline of everything but at any point where was Janeway aware of the carnage of the Dominion War did she pass up on a chance to intervene in it? Well in one episode Chakotay gets an email from Starfleet telling him that the Maquis were wiped out by the Dominion and it doesn't affect the episode in the slightest. The Maquis were specifically created for Voyager and yet DS9 did way more with the concept than the Voyager crew ever did. CADPAT posted:Well I just hit S7 of DS9 and holy poo poo does S5 and S6 have too many loving time travel and Quark stories. There's a war going on you fucks.

They probably did praise sisko considering how fast the maquis were wiped out after Eddington was arrested. Their biggest mistake was picking a fight with the federation when they could barely withstand the cardassians

Remember the Star Trek FMV game where Q gives the player a chance for payback at the Borg? They reused the Voyager set but they couldn't afford future chairs, so everyone on the set had to sit in rickety folding chairs from Walmart. I like to think that that is why on the show Harry and Tuvok are stuck standing at their consoles, because the ship couldn't afford seating after using cum-bag computer packs.

I often find the B-Plots on DS9 better than the A-Plot. DS9's strength is in its character development, which is why the secondary plots are so good when they focus on character interaction. Especially stuff between Jake and Sisko. It took them years of failing on TNG to show children properly, only for DS9 to knock it out of the park with their father/son relationship.

Man, they did three O'Brien suffering episodes in a row. First, he is trapped with Bashir while dying of a bioweapon, then he gets murdered before going Manchurian Candidate, and then he gets trapped with Sisko on planet eco-hippy psycho cult bitch. EDIT: gently caress me, Profit and Loss is a good episode. You get Garak and Quark as major players, and Quark manages to sell the one episode romance that Trek so often fails at.
