I read every page of this thread since the post about the original try-outs list for TNG roles and not a single one was about the spelling of "Ryker"?The_Doctor posted:Patrick Bauchau, an actual Belgian actor would have been interesting. Jenny Agutter as Crusher could have been fantastic.

FlamingLiberal posted:Even at the end of the latest season of Disco they still don’t explain how we go from basically everyone knowing what S31 is and them even having their own ships, to them being completely underground by DS9. I felt like it was implied that Control basically assimilated all of the Section 31 ships before it was destroyed.

I saw a preview for this when we saw Avengers recently and it broke my brain. The person I went with thought they must have found someone that looked similar to him. I assumed it was either de-aging or straight up cgi though. Star Wars did it and technology always improves over time so you know we'll be seeing this a lot now.

I wish they'd switch Yeoh back into Georgiou. Finagle some kind of a time-travel device where the emperor switches places with Georgiou in the past right before she died or something.

Astroman posted:Getting from the saucer section to the engineering hull is the secondmost underappreciated accomplishment one can make in their Starfleet career. The only way I can figure out how to get from one hull to the other in the Oberth is if the turbolifts are Willy Wonka style and fly through the space between.

^^^EDIT: That's a cool video. I think it's well established that the turbolift cars can move vertically and horizontally, which I guess is like the Willy Wonka elevator but I was referring to the end of that movie/book where it flies out of its rails into the sky. It's possible that the ones on the Oberth can fly out of the main hull straight to the engineering hull.

Powered Descent posted:It's always hilarious when the ship starts maneuvering while a turbolift is making the "jump" between sections, and instead of sliding neatly into the receptacle on the other section, they go SPLAT into a million pieces a few meters to one side. I'm imagining each one has thrusters and or some system to compensate for that sort of thing. Though it is hilarious to consider if it just shoots it out one side and then receives it on the other. What if you could step into a turbolift on one bridge and request it deliver you to the bridge of another nearby compatible ship directly?

There's a lot of it that is like unflavored oatmeal, especially in the beginning. I like Voyager, especially specific episodes, but there's a lot of chaff to get through. It was begging to be a serial show and was held back by the apparently absolute requirement that it stay episodic. Not to mention some of the bad ideas they ran with. Also I think once or twice in the last season or two they did a "Previously on Voyager" bit for stuff that was never actually on Voyager. Either that or I missed an episode somewhere and my bad memory has made me think that.

EimiYoshikawa posted:I mean, it definitely could have been an interesting thing, this race that somehow has shooty spaceships, but so little understanding of science that they don't get how easy it is to get more or less unlimited water from hydrogen, which should be fairly easy with their level of technology. Which then leads to the revelation later on that their entire peoples had been a slave race to the people who built the ships they now use, having risen up against their oppressors and overthrown them, seizing their technology for themselves, but more or less piloting them by rote learning and borderline cargo-cult understanding of what's now their own tech without understanding any of the underlying fundamental principles, which also means said technology is breaking down and deteriorating faster than it should be, because they can't really fix anything serious, which is, obviously, a huge threat to the well-being of their people as a result. Thus giving Voyager an in on a diplomatic angle and possible peace with what they had thought to just be savage thugs. We look for things to make us go.

I hated how Voyager handled the getting home part of the show so much. Early on every other episode has some crackpot way of getting home that never works because that would break the entire premise. You know that going in, so there's no tension. Then when they finally do get home, they end it without showing any postscripts for resolution. The beginning kills off half the crew, but who cares because you don't get to know them anyways.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:A lot of those anomalies lead to warp drive enhancements or a better understanding of space time, to the point where statistically maybe they actually are better off stopping to investigate. I really wish they hadn't stuck to the whole roughly 1 season = 1 year thing. They could have skipped between seasons or subtly over the course of a season. People should've been looking a little old by season 5 or so. The ship should've looked a little old and beat up, like someone still driving a car they bought 30 years ago. We could've had Janeway saying poo poo like "I'm getting too old for this" and someone's kids could've been promoted over Ensign Kim.

MikeJF posted:Yeah, a microscopic singularity like that is really just a point of constant energy output. The masses starships would be working with would be so small to work as an energy source that you could fly right through it and it wouldn't leave a hole; less than half a million tons or so, with an event horizon far smaller than the radius of an atom. (Remember, you need tiny mass for appreciable energy radiated, large black holes don't emit much). An antimatter explosive, on the other hand, can release all its energy at once instead. So Romulan's warp engines are green because they're using green energy then.

I wish when Voyager got to the Borg it was just a bunch of destroyed cubes and somewhat mysterious. Maybe get Seven by rescuing her from the shredded remains of one and then keep on trucking. Maybe have an encounter or two with Species 8472 later on that reveals they were responsible but not much else.
