I remain confused they did all that stuff with Seven and the Borg in season 1... and then in season 2 decided to dump the Borg Queen plotline on Jurati instead.

Riker doesn't use condoms. He's been declared a galactic health hazard from his exotic melange of unkillable space STDs, so he has to use a level 2 containment field.

post-scarcity is an unfortunate phrase, it always causes these 'well resources aren't *actually* unlimited' arguments. i like to think of it as like, post-money as an organizing principle. A million people are trying to score one of Sisko's restaraunt 10 tables every single night. You can show up with 100 million bars of gold pressed latinum and sisko dgaf, he doesn't want a moon - he wants to run a restaraunt and he's living his best life. So how do you score a table? By being someone Sisko wants to meet, or by knowing someone with a connection, or as payment for a favor done previously. what i'm trying to say is that the Federation is entirely run by nepobabies and tiktok stars

I like the implication that the Klingon Empire is a victim of its own imperialism, with the warrior class basically metastasizing out of control thanks to the wealth brought by conquest and looting.Craig K posted:wasn't there an episode where a different race, i want to say cardassian, was complaining about the overreliance on redundancy in starfleet systems? IIRC "What is all this clutter? I can't access the primary system." O'Brien: "Oh, that's the secondary backup." "...... The *secondary* backup?" O'Brien: "...yeah?? You can never have enough backups." Honestly who knows if its Starfleet policy, or simply O'Brien's personal idea of how to do a spaceship properly after long service on the Enterprise.

SNW is still Nu Trek. It's mostly the same people. It just doesn't have the spectre of sweeping season long plots hanging over it that has the writers constantly coming up with galaxy-destroying threats.

UPN made one, it was called Mercy Point and it got cancelled after 3 episodes Episode 1: A computer virus has begun to affect humans Episode 3: "An experimental surgery on an influential man's dying son that requires an ill alien to be sacrificed for his blood" Also featuring ANI, the android nurse, who was so efficient and attractive all the other nurses were jealous TheDeadlyShoe fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Jun 12, 2023 |

FlamingLiberal posted:Honestly the new SNW episode could have been a two parter or a little longer. It resolves very quickly. The 'Stealing the Enterprise' subplot was unnecessary and seemingly didn't leave the mining camp plot enough time to develop. I suspect they had some things they wanted to achieve from the episode - Spock having a dilemma of choosing between his duty and Chapel, introducing Pelia - developed concepts for each, and worked backwards from there.

before any species or colony is allowed to join the federation, one member is first subjected to a transwarp evolution test. if they evolve into a salamander, the application is approved. if there's too much genetic engineering, they tend to evolve into different random animals which is UNACCEPTABLE.

appropriatemetaphor posted:So is SNW shaping up to be ok? I didn't really like the first ep of S2 at all. Felt like a load of stuff from Discovery (i assume? everyone is suddenly a veteran of the "klingon wars"?? and pumping up with super soldier serum??) and had like feel of random poo poo just happening for no reason. I like S2E2 a lot better than E1. Same thing happened for me in SNW S1. E2 has a dumb premise, but it executes that premise very well. So...strong TOS energy.

After 3 seasons of SNW M'Benga will get censured for the weird daughter thing, the distribution of incredibly illegal combat stimulants, and five years of medical war crimes. This is only slightly worse than average for a Starfleet doctor, so he just loses about 10 years of seniority or so.

a society smart enough to figure out antimatter bombs from watching ufos fly around, but too dumb to invent a-bombs honestly S1E1 had strong pilot energy, its probably not a good standard to judge SNW on either way. It might actually be best compared to "A Piece of the Action" in terms of plot.... I like the rest of S1 a lot better. Stargate SG-1 did the 'locals gaining power with offworld tech or potentially so' plot a bunch of times and i think all of them were better than S1E1. Well, most of them.

Just read a report, take a deep sigh and stiff drink, tell the offending Captain in question not to violate the Prime Directive doing something noble, and repeat. And that's their entire week, with the occasional meeting with their other Admirals to compare horror stories from the reports they reviewed. sometimes you get together to celebrate that only 15% of Vulcan officers were Romulan spies this year

the real issue is that the Klingons are like "You call THIS a Bat'leth?" and everyone's like 'No it's a bat it's differ-' and then they slice the bat in two. like, every single time.

I don't think SNW is obsessed with Trek. Obsessed with Spock maybe, lol. My view is that SNW and classic Trek take fundamentally different approaches to constructing their stories. In classic trek, the characters are a lens through which we experience the plot. In SNW, the plot is a vehicle through which we experienced the characters. SNW's approach isn't intrinsically bad. The classic trek approach has its weaknesses - it's how we end up with Worf's nonexistent relationship with Alexander, or Janeway's inconsistent characterization. And clearly a lot of people have connected with the SNW cast and are therefore happy to have More Cast Content. But IMO SNW's character-first approach has left its plots generally confusing, weak, or abbreviated - to me, this has felt particularly noticeable in Season 2. And I do think classic Trek's approach is better in the long run for making compelling TV and even for making compelling characters. In the given example of Operation: Annihilate, Spock being a potential casualty is used to lend direct emotional weight to the unacceptable scenario of sterilizing the world to stop the parasite. The plots the important bit and the character is serving it. But this is also an opportunity for characterization and this is an episode that capitalizes on that. The difference in season length may play a part as well. When you have a lot of episodes, that's a lot of opportunities for the characters to find a plot they really shine in.
