Don't know if this has been mentioned, but for UK goons, Netflix now has TNG, DS9 and Voyager. TNG is the HD remaster. I watched a few first season episodes and I've never heard anyone talk about Patrick Stewart's comedy chops in The Naked Now. Discuss.

Nebakenezzer posted:A long time ago in a faraway trek thread, somebody wrote an ending to Voyager where Starfleet is all "Oh Good, you're back. Sorry about the mess, the Federation just got through a devastating war. Yeah, earth was attacked and everything." Has anyone read Homecoming and The Farther Shore? They're the Voyager sequel novels. In the first one it tells how there was like a collective shrug from everyone in the Federation when Voyager got back because it was like 100 people who disappeared one time and everyone is like, 40 billion people are dead.

I watched Vanishing Point last night on the basis that it at least sounded interesting, if a bit derivative of older Trek episodes. Jesus Christ, Enterprise could not get more bland if it tried. Everything is so flat and lifeless, from the visuals to the (Berman-mandated) shite score, the performances of the actors, the execution of the story itself... Everyone involved just seems bored.

I couldn't bear Enterprise season 1, and watched episodes of season 2 as goons recommended season 3 so I had to get some setup. What's the pilot called? Cause all I remember about him from season 3 is that he concentrated really hard on pushing the buttons and didn't do much else. He makes Harry Kim look well-written.

Watching Night Terrors, I love the episode even though it's just everyone talking slowly, the score really gives it a great atmosphere. Also, Remember Me was ace. I miss being 7 and watching those episodes for the first time.

Grand Fromage posted:The only part of ID I really remember was when the evil black ship blasts the gently caress out of the Enterprise so hard it knocks it out of warp. That was pretty cool as Trek battles go. The movie grated on me because some things make no sense. Common for Abrams' movies. I could rant about ST09, but sticking with ID, one thing that annoyed me was the proximity of Earth to Qo'noS. The Enterprises gets between them in about 5 minutes. Never mind the loving super blood that that writer is so fond of. Or the transwarp transporter nonsense. Or Scotty meeting up with Kirk at a random vista to tell him about said transporter. I have to disagree with the negative comments about the main cast though, I think they're great.

I hate fight choreography that has one person against many foes, most of whom stand there doing nothing but waiting for their cue to attack, and it's so obvious. Like Batman should be dead a thousand times. Rey, too, in The Last Jedi. Or in the Picard trailer, the fight on the steps looks awful. https://youtu.be/Ja8cHYtF8n4

Big Mean Jerk posted:It tries really hard to be All Good Things without realizing that the wink-and-nod future stuff needs to be balanced with the present. They spend more time showing you this supposedly awful future for the characters that the actual present becomes an afterthought in their own finale. And then when you finally do focus on the “real” crew they’re just handed a solution to their problems in the most anticlimactic way. It’s written as if the writers were told a week prior that the show was ending and rushed to come up with an easy fix to get them home. It’s so lazy. The also seemed to forget that it was their last season, so plot threads were left hanging like old men's balls, swinging in the wind. They spent one of their last few episodes, Natural Law, with the kind of filler you'd expect in season 1. One of the older Trek threads summaried Voyager as 7 years of wasted potential that "ended with a slap in the face." Sadly still true 18 years after it ended. gently caress me, I feel so old. With the balls to prove it.

FlamingLiberal posted:I didn’t know that the original intent of the S1 episode ‘The Neutral Zone’ was for the Federation and the Romulans to join together to fight the Borg (who we find out down the road were responsible for taking out outposts on both sides of the Neutral Zone). I don't get this. Did the Borg wipe out the Neutral Zone colonies, then clear off to the Delta Quadrant, then come back after they saw that the Enterprise had holodecks or something?

Hannibal Rex posted:-Enterprise had one cool season, which is more than Voyager ever achieved. Voyager season 4 would like a word. In Enterprise, was Mayweather the pilot? I think in season 3 he had 3 lines. All he did was look intensely at consoles. They really just gave up on characterisation in that show.

But yes I can't believe these actually escaped whatever poo poo filter exists within most humans. I'm re-watching Enterprise Season 3. Some awful filler but it's reasonably decent overall, except that poor Travis gets to do and say gently caress all². I only watched about 8 episodes total from Seasons 1 and 2 - most of them were loving shite. What's Season 4 like, apart from the finalé?

Can we talk about how loving amazing some of the scores were in TNG? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsFdpXa4XpM That's from Where Silence Has Lease, one of my favourite TNG episodes because of the soundtrack and its incredible atmosphere. I watched this episode as a 7 year old kid back in the day, and it felt so unnerving. There will never again be this kind of Star Trek episode, where weird poo poo just happens - like Time Squared, another Season 2 quality show. Also, there's this loving masterpiece from The Best of Both Worlds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrZ7E2WC3RI Never again, sadly. I've read that Rick Berman actually directed the score composers to make the music as bland as hell in the Voyager days because he found some of it distracting. What a dipshit, if true.

I watched Voyager Endgame yesterday for the first time in years, and jeez Louise it ends even more abruptly than I remember. I think there are literally 90 seconds of screentime with them back at Earth before the end credits roll. One thing always confused me - how did they end up inside the Borg sphere? The editing is just really confusing and makes no sense. Another thing I've thought of recently is the CGI in Enterprise - I'm not sure if it's art direction or lighting or whatever but it seems often worse than DS9 and Voyager, which hold up reasonably well for 90s TV.

Der Kyhe posted:Considering how in PIC S1 the Soong colony was hidden away in a badly explored sector right next to a major fleet base considering how quickly they got there, there could be a position for Nova-class small exploration ship that just scans and checks the nearby uncharted systems and fills the gaps in the star charts. I think the more likely occurrence is that those ships in the Picard season 1 finale traveled at the speed of plot, rather than anything more carefully considered. Other great examples: in Star Trek 09, the Enterprise arrives at the Narada about 15 seconds after the rest of the fleet, which is already in ruin. And Into Darkness, why, Kronos is a mere 2 minute jaunt away!
