Are we in a temporal whatsis? I have the strangest feeling that I've seen the above thread title for an earlier Star Trek thread...

Gonz posted:If you're new to Star Trucks, you should probably take a gander at this, as it's one of the best scenes from any of the TV shows. That is the best scene of Star Trucks. Still not enough to get me to drink root beer, though.

I wonder what kind of aesthetic they're going to go for. A lot of the more recent Trek aesthetic stuff (Enterprise sets, most of the non-ship JJTrek sets, etc) I really like, I just want the writing and ... seriousness? gravitas? of old-style Trek. I'm not even really averse the the pulse phasers of JJTrek, honestly. And all the shots of Starfleet Command and such were pretty as hell. But those movies totally flailed around with a big dumb tentpole action movie thing.

MikeJF posted:I can't remember if that was the one where he married a smoking hot half-Klingon-half-Romulan chick, or was that one of the other ones. The Shatnerverse is one long string of novels, he meets that chick in the second or third one or something. Then they have a kid who ends up being Human/Klingon/Romulan Jesus because the whole purpose of the Preservers spreading life around the galaxy was to make a being who could magically re-battery the galactic barrier, because that barrier was keeping out the evil subspace nanomachine consciousness thing that wanted to assimilate the entire galaxy. Apparently Humans, Klingons, and Romulans are the three races 'closest' to the perfect genetic mix, so having a tri-breed unlocked the Space Jesus powers.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:UFC will still exist, though. UFC is obviously the Ultimate Finnegan Championship, and what Kirk's academy roommate got up to after graduation. Imagine that annoying Irish guy from the one TOS episode as this Vince MacMahon figure... Zurui posted:I think y'all have a critical misunderstanding of what "post-scarcity" means. This is from a good few pages back, but James P. Hogan's book Voyage from Yesteryear does something like this. It's more an economy of respect, people do things because they like and/or are good at it, and get recognized for it. Respect/acknowledgement becomes the 'unit of currency' but it's not limited at all - gaining more respect doesn't somehow remove it from other people, it's not a zero-sum game like capitalism.

TNG aired at a time when television was still strongly episodic. There may have been a few more serial shows (and shows like Babylon 5 would shortly make it a lot more popular) but the paradigm at the time was definitely not long-term character growth focused.

Timby posted:Maybe I need to watch the Klingon episodes of DS9 again, but it just felt like Gowron randomly switched from being a mildly paranoid leader to a jabbering lunatic. And then Sisko basically tells Worf, "Yo, go wreck his poo poo," and I'm like Wasn't that change in Gowron because he had been replaced by a changeling? Or am I due for another DS9 rewatch?

The_Doctor posted:Apologies for tumblr content, but I thought this was hilarious. ... So humans are basically dumb rednecks who, after making friends with their stellar neighbors, can't resisting joyriding all over the cosmos while yelling HEY YA'LL WATCH THIS? Imgur is being a pain in my rear end right now, but imagine the 'yep, checks out' scene from The Expanse right here.

Drink-Mix Man posted:I think the thing that makes the show uncomfortable to watch for me is witnessing Scott Bakula basically struggling to figure out what the gently caress he is supposed to be doing practically every single moment. I really sense him discovering on camera that the writers didn't know what to do with his character the entire run. One thing I will say for Voyager: When Mulgrew figured this out she at least doubled down on the schizo captain acting.

Big Mean Jerk posted:ENT really should have doubled down on the "Dubya in Space" aspect for Archer. I'm reminded of that image from reddit posted earlier in the thread, about how zany the federation is. Ent blew the opportunity to show a ship full of space rednecks (honestly, that's what humans are compared to vulcans) getting in weird loving situations and then having to report back to earth. "You found WHAT? And then the ship fell through a portal to WHERE? And now we're at war with WHO?!?"

Railing Kill posted:Between DS9 chat and chat about how much Archer is a human potted plant, this has been a rough page for my will to continue ENT. Maybe I'll look up a watch list because god drat do I have better poo poo to do than the sci fi equivalent of watching paint dry. The actual star of Enterprise is Shran.

FlamingLiberal posted:I'm sad we didn't get a season 5 where he would have been a main crew member. I think Manny Coto said that was their plan. Season 5 with First Officer Shran (or whatever) plus that bomb-rear end NX refit that actually looked like a Starfleet ship...

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Sure it is. Doesn't mean it needs an extra hull strapped to the bottom. 95% of Starfleet designs follow the 'saucer, primary hull, some nacelles' plan. The exception being Mirandas and Akiras (and the Centaur in that one DS9 episode). Well, and the no-nacelle designs like the Defiant and Steamrunner and such. But those are deliberately eschewing the standard. WarLocke fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Oct 26, 2016 |

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:They should just do another animated series, but get the studio that did Space Battleship Yamato 2199 to do the animation. Animated Star Trek or animated Farscape? Actually, don't answer, now I want both. (And yeah, SBY2199 looked sweet, except for all the ladies being in catsuits while everything else was so naval old-timey)

Moriatti posted:Does that work without character context? That seems like it would be similar to having "Naked Now" as your first or second episode. Good point. I kind of feel like the pilot pretty much lays Farscape out. John is lost and doesn't know what the gently caress and everyone around him is crazy. That's like the whole show right there. e: Wasn't 'The Naked Now' the second episode of TNG?

Pwnstar posted:In Episode 6 of the 7th Season, Data asks Worf to look after Spot and tell him that he is a pretty cat. Later in Episode 19 we are told Spot is pregnant with a litter of kittens. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic cat or something? I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder. Do we ever actually see Data feeding Spot? What if Data keeps ordering new Spots from the food dispenser because he kept killing/starving the old one?
