There's a weird bit in a season 3 or 4 episode where Odo is complaining that Dax keeps sneaking into his quarters and moving the furniture around to gently caress with him. It's written to make him look like a neat-obsessed freak because she's only moving them by like an inch, but 1) it actually makes Dax look like a poo poo for repeatedly breaking into a supposed friend's private room and 2) when was Dax ever established to be a prankster? It's more something season 1 Jake and Nog would pull.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:I get the feeling that CBS wanted for Section 31 Trek, was what they got instead with the Pike show. I this this got mentioned in the Disco thread, but turns out that people are kind of sick of grim, compromised-morality spiky-black-leather antiheroes and would prefer upbeat, Star-Trek-ideals-having regular heroes. Plus, you know. Michelle Yeoh's no slouch, but Anson Mount's a dreamboat. edit: coming in 2020, Star Trek: Dreamboat.

Oh my gosh, the Cytherian is the least horrible, most likeable giant alien head to ever appear to the Enterprise crew (the Nth degree, where Barclay becomes a computer brain). I adore Kay Kuter.

Marina Sirtis displays real acting chops in the episodes where she, Data and O'Brien get possessed by ghosts, the episode where she joins Worf & Alexander in a western holodeck adventure, and of course the Romulan one. It's a waste that 90% of her episodes involved Troi getting mindraped.

Goddamn, TNG: Rascals is a weird one. I know it's just a late stage wacky idea script, but it still bugs me that the crew's first response to the captain having the body of a child with explicitly mentioned the same mental faculties as before, is "relieve him of duty" and "get used to staying this way, go back to school maybe?" Crusher's insistence that Picard must step down because, maybe, he'll soon start acting like a kid too, is bull. It might've helped if lil' Jean-Luc had shown behavior to lead her to that conclusion first. I was morbidly amused by O'Brien saying "there's a decrease in mass, I may have lost one of them" while transporting them in, not expressing much emotion for the fact that the one might be his wife.

I said come in! posted:Over the weekend I watched the episode Genesis and that is one of my favorite TNG episodes ever. Watching it again years later makes me appreciate it even more. My only complaint was that I wish it was longer so we could see what more of the crew transformed into. I seem to recall that episode's kind of derided for its nonsensical plot. I love it. Worf's transformation coupled with Picard's growing nervousness turns it into an excellent horror story. Maybe they should've made it a 2-parter so the ending didn't have to be so abrupt.

I can never get used to Picard's open velours jacket. He tends to wear it on the bridge and on official occasions and it never not looks like he's just casually letting his uniform jacket hang open to me.

It's weird as hell that Generations and First Contact had Data doing emotions finally, and then Insurrection is all "what is playing beep boop" again. That said, even though Data never got to grow gradually because story arcs aren't for syndication, Data's great. Y'all can go suck a Katarian egg. tee dee pow

This may be a general 80s/90s TV issue, but I'm noticing in the 24th century, whenever someone gets knocked to the ground, everyone's in a hurry to get them back on their feet. Are future people like elephants, where they die if they lie down for too long?

You can at least first check if they didn't break anything after some spacebeam launched them into the furniture, you dingus. It's not about the helping them up, more the instant need to have them back on their feet.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:Come on trying to kill O'Brien is only a $50 fine I watched the episode where they take Odo back to the Founders cause he's sick, and they judge him and make him permasolid. There's this great moment where Garak asks about the survivors of the Obsidian Order/Tal Shiar attack on the Founders and the female changeling just exasperatedly throws in his face "they're dead. You're dead. Cardassia is dead." and fuuuck, Garak's face. So he tries to hijack the weapon systems for a suicidal attack to wipe out the Founders, and Worf narrowly stops him. And... afterwards... he gets six months in jail? For all of that?

Heh, in DS9: Apocalypse Rising, they have Jake leaning over a railing to watch people walk across the promenade, but he's so tall at this point he has to basically fold in half to do it. It's also hilarious how Sisko keeps doing the Klingon voice even when there's no reason to, like after Martok exposes them.

They really needed to find an alternative for this era's Kirk than "I'm tired and bored, and old?" You just can't make these movies the same when there's not a TV show to build on and the cast isn't in their 50s/60s.

I almost wish you guys hadn't put the idea in my head. It makes so much sense. Sisko could be on the Defiant, has the prior history to work out with Picard, and is GREAT AT YELLING Picard and Sisko could've gone back and forth, NOOO and YEEESSS, as they slowly smash and destroy every item in Picard's ready room. In my dream FC, it's the Enterprise D instead of E, Sisko instead of Lily, and maybe a few additional DS9 guys that make sense to be there. O'Brien, Dax, maybe Odo.

Payndz posted:09 did well at the little character-defining moments for Kirk and Spock (although the opening with Daddy Kirk sacrificing himself to save his newborn baby had way more emotional force than anything else in the entire movie), but everything around them was an utter clusterfuck of nonsense, stupidity and contrivance. It still pisses me off unreasonably even now. Watching the deleted scenes made me realize why the movie left me confused when Winona Ryder got cast to play an old woman and where Nero hung out for 30 years. They really went at that edit with a meat cleaver. Though I'm not sure if putting in the shot of children in Klingon costumes coming out of a small spaceship would've been advisable.

Hahaha Senor Tron posted:I'm always sad they got rid of Kes, because the idea of seeing her entire lifespan over the course of the show was great. It would never have worked though, since the show wasn't allowed to have story arcs. Sometimes I imagine the actors going up to Rick Berman: "I wanna leave the show." Berman: "you can't leave. Nobody leaves." *gets a gun out of his desk drawer* "the viewers wouldn't understand."

I always found that scene really interesting. Spock is pissed as gently caress at her, shown from the moment he bats the phaser out of her hand, he's just so disappointed in her. Then he again gives in to anger when he melds with her and forces his way in, but when it yields nothing, Spock sounds shaken and heartbroken, not just because of how she disappointed him, but because of the atrocity he just let himself commit because he lost control. I mean, there's a bit of "baby why you making me hit you" wrapped up in that and could've been handled better, but I like how it shows a flawed Spock.

When Beverly says "I think something is wrong with the universe", the senior staff immediately start hooking up the negative space wedgie scanners and the "are you sure" only happens after they've done that. Spock: captain, our female officer thinks there might be cloaked aliens onboard the ship, planning a takeover. Kirk: Bones, thoughts? Hysteria? Menopause? Bones: you wanna slap her or shall I? Kirk: both.
