Pick posted:Eugenics Wars are references in Space Seed tos iirc ?? Correct, the real answer is that in early TNG they weren't sure how much of TOS they wanted to acknowledge "really" happened and if anyone even raised the objection at the time, somebody probably just said "eh, just ignore it".

Some people need to justify their right to exist

Kitchner posted:Basically yes. You don't even have to change anything, that portion of the history was left deliberately vague. WWIII can go nuclear after one side or another gets desperate enough in a melange of starvation and coastal devastation and internal strife, or one of the early warning systems malfunctions and triggers retaliatory strikes (as almost happened several times IRL), or whatever. The particular socioeconomic causes were never specified, largely because at the time everyone just assumed the Cold War would eventually go hot, but we've still got plenty of reasons of our own.

Neddy Seagoon posted:To be fair, that seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do as part of biometrics and record-keeping in a universe where weird poo poo happens on a daily basis. Having their full DNA template and physical appearance helps to reconstruct someone after the alien of the week turns them into a shambling semi-beastial horror. Yeah, that's just the future equivalent of taking someone's photo and biometrics for their secure ID. And then using them to create AI-assisted fake porn.

It probably filled in the rest with Barclay's holosmut algorithms.

pentyne posted:Even funnier when you start realizing that logic and rational are two wildly different concepts and "logical" could just as easily lead to mass violence and strife if it makes "logical" sense. This is why Vulcan logic is best portrayed as a lifestyle and a philosophy, not a religion. "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end."

Kitchner posted:I still actually reckon this would be better than Voyager's Bridge crew just because none of the missions would make sense and the ammo counter on your photo torpedoes wouldn't work. Plus you couldn't play as Janeway trying to keep her cool and not give into the temptation to execute other players. Voyager Bridge Crew always crashes when the Ops player starts launching infinite shuttles.

Neddy Seagoon posted:No, it's brought up on multiple occasions that it's a lack of skill. This is the kind of thing that the TNG writers should've thought of re: Troi. They made her "empathic" instead of fully telepathic but that means poo poo-all for the "solve the plot in five minutes" problem, whereas Odo's limitations are both character-driven and help curb his ability to break scripts.

Andromeda and Earth Final Conflict both had decent first seasons that were kinda goofy but earnest in that early 90s, PTEN, remake Outer Limits way. Like they were cheesy but heart-on-its-sleeve cheesy, you know? But then both of them got taken over by try-hard ego cases who wanted to get all gritty and SRSBZNS and poo poo just got embarrassing.

I've never met someone with a given nerd-spawned name who didn't have a look of resigned shame when someone called them on it. Like not even in a mocking way, a teacher in college going "Oh, Galadriel, that's from Lord of the Rings?" got a "yeah, that's it" and that forlorn downward glance of wishing they could shrink into the hollow embarrassment dimension forever.

Origami Dali posted:it might look like everyone is just blindly yielding to rank in those situations, but yeah I think you're right. there was that TNG ep that seemed to directly address this, when an alien race kidnaps Picard in his sleep and whisks him away to an escape room for observation, and replaces him with a doppelganger who acts fuckin weird and orders the crew to fly directly into a radioactive thing that will definitely kill them. At first they're like um ok, but as they get inches from death and not-Picard is still like 'take us in further, that's a direct order', everyone does a mutiny. I love that episode because the jolly Picard who drinks beer after work and sings sea shanties with his crew is when the bridge gang realizes this isn't our captain PenisMonkey posted:I’ll watch those.
