I'm continuing my DS9 watchthrough (there are huge swathes I've never seen) and I've reached Homefront.

It irks me that in 300 years apparently the New Orleans accent has vanished. Sisko's dad pronounces the city name as 'New OR-leens', rather than the native 'N'awl'ns'. :mad:

"How long before you're due back at Starfleet?"
"About an hour"
"Just enough time to take a stroll to Audubon Park."

The gently caress it is. You 'stroll' 5 miles in an hour? I appreciate Sisko's dad has got a brand new aorta, but drat, he ain't no Steve Austin.

If Voyager had longer nacelles on elevated struts it wouldn't look too bad, it's the dinky Galaxy-esque nacelles that give it a bad profile. The early prototype model, while hideous and overly-busy, has a much better overall silhouette and would have been a better choice.

This one? I loved this look! If Voyager had looked like this, I'd be very happy.

A story about the Maquis stealing a Defiant variant from wherever it is they mothball prototype starships would have been interesting.

What's weird in Beyond is that it implies everyone is actually talking English all the time, even the aliens. When the universal translator is busted out, there's actually a noticeable delay.

Trent posted:

Definitely this. It's almost like they put the line in Season 7 just to explain this. There is really no reason for DS9 to rotate that I can imagine, but Ezri says she can feel it rotating in the space sickness episode.

DS9 rotates all the time though? Look at the background stars on any scene on the station with a window (Sisko's office is a good one) and you'll see the stars moving across.

I never realised that TAS didn't use the real TOS theme. It's like some copyright-dodging version of the theme.

Powered Descent posted:

Maybe they stuck the shuttles in the same place that Voyager kept the Delta Flyer and Neelix's ship.

I reason that they gutted the aeroshuttle's parts to make the Delta Flyer and just left the underside plate in place. Which is a tragedy because the Aeroshuttle was basically a runabout and Voyager could really have used one of those.

Star Trek is...

Number One
The mysterious female executive officer, she was described as a slim, Nubian woman of uncertain age. She was expressionless, highly intelligent, and always cool under pressure. When Captain April left the ship, she would serve as "Acting Commander." The role was written by Roddenberry for his mistress, Majel Barrett from the very start.

Uhhh.. Pretty sure she's not in any way a Nubian. Unless Roddenberry is making up a planet Nubia.
