Gammatron 64 posted:What was the whole story behind the Jeri Ryan \ Obama presidency thing again? Her husband, Jack Ryan, was running for Senate in Illinois. During his campaign, their divorce documents were leaked, which showed that he was an abusive dick who pressured her to have sex in public and took her to sex clubs and etc. Jack Ryan drops out of the race, leaving a certain Barack Obama to win that Senate seat. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Apollodorus posted:Watching the Star Trek retrospective. Jonathan Frakes seems to be saying that watching Star Trek was the only happy thing his family did when he was growing up No, he was saying that of all the comments he got saying "Star Trek inspired me to be an engineer or a doctor or whatever" the most powerful ones were people who said "When Star Trek was on, it was the only time my family was at peace." He wasn't referring to his own personal situation.

It's funny, because I just watched Chaos on the Bridge last week, and then the retrospective just sucks Gene's dick for the entire time while I'm laughing to myself thinking about all of the stories with his crazy lawyer and whatnot.

It's because Star Trek shouldn't take 3-4 minute long breaks to feature a loving terrible lounge singer. That's why I hate Vic.

Fister Roboto posted:My favorite thing is the episode where Data gets kidnapped by the collector guy. Troi being able to tell that the dude is lying would instantly resolve the conflict, but she's not on the bridge at the time so I guess everyone just takes his word for it and accepts that Data is dead with absolutely zero foul play. Also, in the episode with the Pakled, Troi goes "Hey, I sense deception from them, we should probably be careful" and Riker goes  "Pfffffffft, whatever. Send over our Chief Engineer."

It's a bit of a gag, sure, but it's one of the few things I've read that articulates why none of these reboot movies have ever worked for me. A BIT of a gag?

Baronjutter posted:I've found people's opinion on Lwaxana is almost entirely down to age. Olds like me have come to really like her and sympathise with her, specially after her DS9 development. Young folk find her annoying and dumb. Heartless people of any age also share that opinion. Lwaxana herself isn't the problem of Cost with Living. It's the holodeck program that she creates.

How long do Cardassians live? If they're closer to Vulcan life spans, then the age stuff works fine. He might have been 45 then and he's 75 now but 75 is "middle aged" for Cardassians.

Jack tried to explain how their multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars" was something other than multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars". Yes, this is why you are horribly incorrect, the prequel reviews are not just "It's Not My Star Wars" like everyone tried to tell you, but your brain is broken in a way where once you've determined you are correct you can't be persuaded. Except you can be shamed into thinking TV Tropes is bad based on goon opinion. You are a strange case, MisterBibs.

WickedHate posted:To be fair, TV Tropes is basically pouring creepy poo poo out of every orifice. It's pretty easy to understand how someone can like the prequels, but after a few billion examples of the absolute bottom of TV Tropes it's pretty objectively bad, not even getting into the more subjective problems with the kind of writing and media analysis it encourages. No, I get that, it's just that was the one time he took goon consensus that he was wrong and agreed with it. But he'll dig in and fight anyone who argues about anything with him to the death. Why that one? MisterBibs posted:Yes, everyone tried to tell me that multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars" was not actually multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars". Given that it's multiple hours of saying "Not My Star Wars", the outcome was hardly in doubt. You really don't understand that your perception of reality is off when you're the one odd man out arguing what a thing is? Like, not even arguing about the quality of the thing, but objectively describing what that thing is. Because the prequel reviews are literally not what you keep saying they are.

Baronjutter posted:I think it's really hard to depict future culture and music and fashion well. They either play it safe by having it some how closely mirror what's in style today, which results in those futures looking extremely dated. Or they come up with something actually legitimately different and weird because poo poo is 200 years in the future, and then viewers bitch about how the hair and fashion is so dumb and weird. Or they go the trek route and just pretend culture doesn't even exist. I thought Hunger Games did a pretty good job of inventing a different and weird fashion sense that seems plausible.

Every single person who dies in "The Ship" dies for literally nothing, because the Vorta would have let Sisko take the ship and Sisko would have let the Vorta take the Founder. It's not even an ambiguous "was it really worth it?" kind of pointlessness, it's just a bunch of people who die for nothing. Kibayasu posted:Grimdark means something different than just "dark." Or it did, at least. Exactly. Warhammer 40k is grimdark. Star Trek Universe is the total opposite. Oh no, how grimdark, energy weapons that kill instantly and draw no blood.

Neelix is so terrible. Everything about his character makes me question the writers, he is the Jar Jar Binks of Star Trek. "Neelix is the key to all this. Cause he's a funnier character than we've ever had before." - something probably said in the Voyager's writers' room.
