Thom12255 posted:The last cool borg thing was the intro of Scorpion. The no lasting consequences of Voyager should ruined what could of been a full war between The Borg and Species 8472. Both could of been powerful and still have Voyager have to sneak around but as it stood they needed the Borg to be the baddest on the block.

Thom12255 posted:Weren't the movie and the finale being done at the exact same time by the same people? If Memory Alpha is to be believed yes and they also thought that All Good Things ended up being the better effort. Generations is a pretty movie with good acting but its plot is a loving mess and didn't know what it wanted to do. Like the whole thing about time being and enemy and how do we deal with our past, present, and future are interesting concepts but they never do anything with it. First Contact, which I love, had Stewart ask to switch Picard and Riker's positions in the script. Riker was suppose to be the one on the Enterprise fighting the Borg and Stewart making the warp flight. Though, I think that switch worked out well at the end of the day.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:You're in charge of Star Trek. How do you make it better? -Say yes to Seth MacFarlane when he asked to do a Star Trek show. I guess more seriously, focus on the new live, new civilizations thing and focus on the ensemble. Don't do DARK TREK or WHaT IF THe FEdERaTION waS BaD?! I feel like every Star Trek lately misses the exploration of science, philosophy, and the bigger questions of society. They all want to be action shows to talk about how horrible everything is or become action with no substance.

BioEnchanted posted:Ensign Ro owns btw. also I like that in this episode with the memory wipe, they have no idea who the captain is, but Worf points out that both picard and himself have decorations that could imply leadership and have no idea which would be the actual leader - and instead of fighting over it, Worf is just acting as captain for the time being cause "Why not, we need someone leading the recon and we all know gently caress all so it's not like Picard is more qualified right now as far as everyone knows" I also a cool little character moment when Worf apologizes when they find out he is not the Captain and Picard is like, don't worry about it. Worf because its the honorable thing to say/do and Picard because Worf reached a reasonable conclusion.

Delthalaz posted:The secret Romulan terror cell based on a he destroyed borg cube is clearly using slaves of some kind (maybe former drones whatever) to make a DOOMSDAY DEVICE to seek REVENGE against the Federation. Because that’s what Star Trek is about. While I agree, we need more new life/new civilizations and boldly going, this is easily something I could see Romulan doing. Also, i bet the founders would start a war with the borg because they are arrogant pricks.

You may want to add the Defector and the Neutral Zone to the list to get some Romulus flavor that involved Picard.

I am not sure about how Data looks but also, he is an android from the future that the Federation has had decades to figure out all you need is one line of... "Working with federation scientists I have decided to age more human adapting my programming and body to age more normally like a human." Personally, I kinda like the idea of the Soon Androids slowly becoming a race of people post-TNG era.

FlamingLiberal posted:It’s Neelix by 10 miles There is a really good moment she has in Best of Both Worlds when RIker insists on leading the away mission and calmly points out... "It would be inappropriate for you to lead an away mission." It's one line but it shows a kind of wasted potential of the actress and the character. She is a calming force, she knows the protocol and Riker will listen to her above anyone else. Neelix never gets anything close to that. He should of been a guide to the Delta Quadrant and it's weirdness but they never want to seem to pull the trigger.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:What exactly about the Trek "political landscape" do you want further developed? TNG didn't bring a lot to the table as far as astropolitics goes; the Klingon Empire is rotten at the top with corruption, the Cardassian war gets retconned in as this supposedly traumatic conflict, and the Romulans are running around trying to stir poo poo up. The latter two are pretty much just plot devices to drive the actual stories the writer wanted to tell. A few things come to mind: 1) First and foremost the Federation is pretty much the dominant galactic super power in the galaxy. It would be interesting to see the allegory to the United States now. How can you live out your ideals and forestall corruption when you are given that much power. 2) With Martok and Worf in charge of the Klingon Empire would they bring back any reforms to the Klingon Empire. Enterprise pulled on a thread that could be explored about Klingon Scientists and other aspects of Klingon's that are not soaked in the idea of combat is the only way to build a society. 3) How would the Dominion's first defeat in thousands of years impact the Gamma Quadrant? Would there be more open rebellion, could we see other powers in the Gamma Quandrant? 4) How would Voyager's knowledge of the Delta Quadrant its species effect the future as well? There are tons of stories to be told in those 4 points alone! And as people have pointed out in this thread before, Star Trek is suppose to be about looking forward. The fact that Picard is the first Star Trek IP in decades that looks beyond its original series and premise is astounding. For whatever reasons the suits at Paramount think of Star Trek as the 60s TOS series and its holding the franchise back.

bull3964 posted:Rewatching "The Best of Both Worlds" for the umpteenth time. It's really crazy how well this nearly 30 year old episode of TV holds up today. The cinematography is about the only thing that's pedestrian by today's standards. Other than that though, the writing, pacing, editing, and acting remains on point. Even the special effects are good by today's standards and would actually beat some of the budget CGI that's on genre TV. It has a low key great Troi moment in it that also tells you how much they waste the character. Her telling Riker in part 1 that it's inappropriate for him to lead the away team. Cool, calm, collected but also willing to stand up to someone when they are making a wrong decision. So many great moments in that episode obviously but I think its a scene that deserves another look.

In a streaming service era, shelby would have a few appearances here and there. It works on one level since the character won't get ruined but on the other hand she was a great addition and good shake up to the episode it worked well.

Powered Descent posted:It's vanishingly rare but pop-culture things do sometimes persist for centuries in the real world. Robinson Crusoe was published just over 300 years ago, and his name, the entire "castaway story" genre, and even some specific story elements (e.g. his man Friday) are still present in the popular consciousness to this day. Don Quioxte, the Canterberry Tales, Shakespeare's works, Huck Finn, the Scarlett Letter, there is all sorts of stuff that has lasted hundreds of years off hand. Probably helps there were ways to store the stories.

After Voyager they should of given the Trek franchise a 5 to 10 year break. Allow for new producers, new creative forces but sadly they worked the horse until the core foundation of what Trek was became lost. Doctor Who's 20 year hiatus did wonders for it, someone needed to recognize that for Trek.

Lizard Combatant posted:My take on replicated food is that it's indistinguishable from the real deal except that that it's always the same. Ordering a cheeseburger or a loaf of bread is always the same recipe unless someone programs their own take. A tomato is always the same tomato over and over. There's a difference between replicating the raw ingredients and making it yourself and even more so when you grow the food. It's not that it tastes worse, just that after decades of eating it you can tell the difference. I mean it could also be like what impossible meat is like now. I had an impossible sandwhich from Dunkin Donuts and its fine, I like it enough, but isn't QUITE the same taste and feel of real meat.

Khanstant posted:Janeway is my favourite captain because of episodes like "Drone." If only she had the same compassion with... well you know, we don't gotta get into him rn. Janeway was totally down to let the surprise borg baby grow, Picard and Sisko would've gone straight for the aborgtion. Voyager basically suffers (amongst other things) from the fact that serialization as a thing people wanted was like 15 years later and it would of helped it immensely. Imagine if they actually picked up new non-federation crew members or could let baby borg stick around for a few episodes.
