Sisko's dad's restaurant pokes so many goddamn holes in the Star Trek economy. Who the gently caress would be a busboy for no pay? Those clams Sisko is cleaning don't look replicated, they're fresh. Otherwise he wouldn't need to clean them. Who's catching these clams? There's a million questions that arise due to it.

Cojawfee posted:It's like the Sims. You pick a career field and then you start at the bottom. First you're a busboy, then you're a waiter, then you're a cook, then you own a restaurant, then you're the president. But most of the time you are standing in your standard issue living cubicle, pissing yourself. Career event! The shipment of fresh clams is late! Do you: [Replicate some and try to pass them off as fresh] or [Whip up a new dish on the fly with what you have?] *pick answer* Nothing matters because your customers eat for free! You get promoted!

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I thought Risa was supposed to be less "brothel planet" and more "free love planet". It's a brothel, it's just free. Risa was set up as a nymphomaniac containment planet and it sort of worked itself into a tourist destination.

Gammatron 64 posted:I doubt the new show will really "bring it back" because it's on CBS all access. The only people who will watch it are existing fans, it won't get new ones. loving this. If you launch a show nowadays on a paid streaming service that is not Netflix or Hulu, it is doomed to die. Hardcore fans will seek it out, though many will probably  it.

Skeesix posted:I just watched "Measure of a Man," for the first time in many years. I thought there was no way it would hold up but holy hell is it good. Patrick Stewart just relishes all those lines, but then so does everyone else: Frakes gets a chance to be so conflicted, Whoopi nails her small part, and the Judge plays extremely well off of Stewart - well except that they were apparently supposed to have sexual chemistry. I'm sure everyone is going to tell me that it's actually garbage but my eyes were glued to the screen like the first time I watched it. I highly doubt anyone in this thread will tell you it's garbage. That's ranked up there as one of the best TNG episodes. My favorite part is Data complimenting Riker for doing his duty well, as well as Riker's guilt about almost getting his friend sent away and disassembled.

I can't believe in all the talk that's been posted about that episode, no one's mentioned the hot Space Irish lady that Riker bones.

I feel like you need another column for "Actively Avoid" because a "No" on Essential doesn't adequately prepare one for the horribleness of episodes like Cost of Living or Profit and Lace. "Eh, it says non-essential, but let me watch this one anywa-"

Rhyno posted:Man, DS9, Our Man Bashir is either the very best or very worst episode of the series and I can't decide which. A Bond ripoff where the villain's plan actually succeeds is a great idea. That Bashir triggers the plan is the icing on the cake.

Baronjutter posted:I told my wife it was the most boring of ds9 episodes and we should skip it. She hates the child actor who plays molly. Says she's the worst child actor she's ever seen and her presence on screen throws her into a rage. The child actor of Molly is barely in that episode anyway, most of it is the new older feral Molly.

I just came back from seeing Beyond, mostly so I could start clicking spoiler bars in this thread. I liked it! When I realized that they were weaponizing "Sabotage" to kill the swarm I got a big ol grin on my face. It actually made the trailer better in retrospect. I also teared up a bit when Spock found that photo of the old crew. SuperDucky posted:It'd be one thing if it was fan service. It'd be one thing if it was an action movie. It'd be one thing if it was a Star Trek movie. It'd be one thing if it was trying to introduce the new series cogently. It failed at all of those missions because there are too many cooks in the kitchen. You can't have CBS and Bad Robot and Justin Lin and Simon Pegg trying to make the same movie. Saying you'd rather "rewatch Nemesis" is some harsh loving words though.

"Captain, that last attack has left us in an unstable orbit. Given the speed that the Enterprise is going, I have calculated that we will impact the surface in X minutes" where X is whatever is most dramatic. There, problem solved.

Drone posted:This also destroys any tension caused by that entire scene, ruins the pacing of the entire event, and shatters the illusion that everyone has of the drama that is unfolding. Congrats, everyone in the theater has been put to sleep. Not if you make X something like 2 or 3 minutes. Just enough time to abandon ship and then it crashes. I wasn't suggesting it take an hour, I was trying to think of a way to appease the "That's not how orbiting works!" crowd.

Timby posted:Stewart's chiropractor told him that he would suffer permanent spinal damage if he continued wearing the costume, and so he demanded costume changes before he would show up to start shooting the third season. Man, that's really hosed up. How bad do you have to gently caress up costume design to cause that?

Baronjutter posted:Yeah I managed to google what the "H on clothing" stood for and figured it out. Has this brand recently exploded or is it just a bias that I'm suddenly noticing it a lot more? Reading up on it, it claims to wick sweat away and be comfortable for sports in some special or novel way. I'm guessing most people buy it for the brand and not their needs as high performing athletes, because I'm mostly seeing it on dumpy middle aged white dudes. The Rock wore it in the newest Fast and Furious movies, therefore people buy it because they want to be as cool as The Rock.

Literally none of the Federation Star Trek ships look interesting or cool, in my opinion. Ship design isn't why I watch Star Trek. Some of the other races ships can be kinda cool looking, at least.
