Voyager is worth a full watch if for no other reason than the EMH. It was like the 3rd episode he slaps Paris and became one of the best trek characters.

I ordered the TNG technical manual because I could have sworn those weird rectangles on the back of the Enterprise D weren't the arboretum. It arrived today and I can find absolutely no reference to them at all.  Oh well, at least I have the technical manual again. I lost it in a move like 20 years back.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Nah, they clearly want rid of Old Discovery as much as the audience, I think. The writing has repeatedly gone to lengths to paste the words "WE KNOW IT SUCKED, WE'RE STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCH!" in big neon letters over everything. Have they unfucked klingons and turned the main character lady into someone who isn't at all related to spock?

Johnny Aztec posted:Tuvix IS Tuvok and Neelix. Tuvix has all their memories, personalities, everything! Being a mixed personality with another person is death to both personalities and creation of a new one. Just because the new one is a blend of the two old ones doesn't mean that the two old ones are there in their unmodified form. It's very specifically not that. Also using the teleporter to just print new crewmembers wouldn't work very well in anything BUT lower decks. And ESPECIALLY poorly in Voyager where the whole tension is "how can we manage to get home with limited resources"

womb with a view posted:Oh god wait so do Tuvok and Neelix both have memories of being Tuvix? Do they know what Janeway did? Do they remember protesting for their collective life? Does Neelix now know everything about Tuvok because his brain was in the same jar and vice versa?? I'm doing a full Trek rewatch so when I get there i'll look into this. Also, i'd like to point out that transporter patterns are too large to keep copies of. Also reading of the pattern destroys it in the buffer. Tuvix gets separated by radio tagging genomes (which is a particularly hand wavey woo woo way of doing it).

Yes, but that was a split annular confinement beam, not a copied pattern in the pattern buffer.

Totally new stuff gets by it. It's not perfect.

I mean, radiation poisoning is the damage caused to tissue from radiation. Even if they can filter out the radioactive elements themselves, the damage has been done and needs to be fixed by some other means.

Ghostlight posted:They covered up that there were more viable hosts than publicly acknowledged, but it still wasn't a dominant section of their population and it's not inconceivable that a specific genetic variation might die off over a millennium, especially with a massive population cull. DS9 Literally says "nearly half" so i guess technically you're right that it wasn't a dominant section but in that technically correct way that you still sound like you weren't paying any attention. Also the worst continuity problem is that they changed the spots.

mossyfisk posted:If we're going to have this argument for the fiftieth time, shouldn't we at least add a tortured topical twist? nah, the Maquis aren't an actual civlization or society. It's a bunch of different societies who's only common factor is they hate cardassians. Like, the federation was offering to move them and help them rebuild. And it's not like they're leaving their ancestral places, they were only there for a few years.

sweet geek swag posted:The fed colonists were ordered to leave, but Picard felt guilty about something a person who might have been his ancestor did so he renegotiated the entire treaty. After this, the explicit Starfleet position was that the colonists should stay on these worlds if they wanted to. The colonists assumed that this meant that if the Cardassians broke the treaty, the Federation would have their back. That isn't what happened. The armistice was agreed to in 2367. The treaty was actually done 3 years later. The troop movements and the destruction of a colony and trying to frame it on bajorans was all pre-treaty. They were never told "oh you can totally live here and have the same rights and protections as if you lived in the federation" They were told, repeatedly, that they should move and the federation will help them move. The "treaty" you're thinking of with Picard wasn't a treaty but was those federation citizens renouncing their citizenship and joining the cardassian government.

sweet geek swag posted:The treaty I am talking about with Picard was a complete renegotiation of the Cardassian treaty. Yes, I understand you are claiming this but it doesn't actually happen. You should watch the episode again. Picard: "Anthwara, I want to be absolutely sure that you understand the implications of this agreement. By giving up your status as Federation Citizens, any future request you or your people make to starfleet will go unanswered. You will be on your own, and under Cardassian jurisdiction." They don't change the treaty. It was literally just that one specifically colony not getting lined up and shot offhand.

sweet geek swag posted:You know that there was more than one Maquis colony, right? That's what the Maquis were, Federation colonists who submitted to Cardassian rule in order to keep their colonies, only to have the Cardassians immediately try to kill them. And the Cardassians would have to agree to let them stay. Maybe this was an under the table deal, but effectively it is a renegotiation of the treaty as written, and it applied to every Maquis colony. You were specifically talking about that one episode with that one colony. Now that you've been shown you don't know what you're talking about you're just gonna chuck those goal posts at warp 6.

sweet geek swag posted:Yes, I did use a synonym. Not only did I use a synonym, I used the synonym that was in the definition. So if I moved the goalposts I moved it from one word to the closest possible synonym of that word. I am so sorry, I should have realised that if I didn't use the precise same terminology one of the biggest pedants on this website would 'well actually' me. Yea, it's pedantry and not you being factually incorrect about what happens in the episode you are referencing. In no way are you just trying to cloud the issue and claim you were arguing different things the whole time as you slowly realize you were just wrong and aren't capable of going "oh I was wrong" The treaty (or agreement, whatever word you want to use to try and muddle the point) does not get renegotiated. The terms of the treaty are entirely unchanged. That's what makes this whole stupid ting kinda funny really. You keep using an example of people solving a problem to maintain compliance to the terms of the treaty without changing the terms of the treaty as an example of the terms of the treaty changing. They didn't change the treaty, they literally just said "well if we just make these people non-federation citizens then the treaty doesn't apply to them anymore!" I suggest you actually watch the show so you know what you're talking about in the future. Maybe then you can find an example where the "renounce citizenship" gets applied literally anywhere else. Because it doesn't. The DMZ is a zone that covers both federation and cardassian planets.
