Ogmius815 posted:I think the really frustrating thing about the episode is that at the end Nog tells Jake to tell both sides of the story or whatever instead of doubling down on his (correct) opinion that Watters was a terrible captain who got everybody killed. I thought he meant to have some sympathy for these college kids who were wildly out of their depths. Captain Dumbass was a charismatic figure who could have become a good leader, ensign cry face was just a kid who wanted to go home, don't call them all flaming retards.

They threaten him with rent at one point if he doesn't behave. Including back payments dated to the Federation takeover.

It's a bit confusing how Bajor struggles with environmental remediation in the first few seasons when the Federation is right there in orbit. Presumably that's the kind of thing the feds would be delighted to help with free of charge.

If we're adding more ladies to the bridge crew I'd prefer Rand, but take what you can get I suppose. Like they unfreeze Ayn Rand? Far out.

You can skip episodes as long as you hate fun, where fun is defined as doing things you don't enjoy so that you can fit in with a dozen 30 something nerds on the modern equivalent of a star trek usenet group.

Fighters would work if they had cloaking devices so they weren't instantly obliterated. That's kind of how it worked in the age of sail too. Boats were a useful tool in combat but they'd be shot to pieces if they were spotted before they reached their target.

Railing Kill posted:Isn't this actually what they did? I remember someone ITT mentioning it a while back. Like, the scripts were written with "Technobabble" or "Piller Filler" where a big pile of technobabble ought to be, and LeVar Burton or Colm Meany or Roxanne Dawson would just make poo poo up? That job fell to whoever was the science advisor at the time. You can imagine how much work went into the writers getting the science guy to understand exactly what needed to happen. I think Okuda complained that his input would be ignored whenever it was inconvenient. So lazy. Supposedly Ron Moore inserted the tongue in cheek technobabble scene with Riker and the Ferengi guy in Rascals. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Aug 25, 2016 |

funny way to spell posted:I've just found a massive plot-hole in Star Trek. On stardate 46379.1 the USS Enterprise D arrives at Deep Space Nine "to assist in the reconstruction of the Bajoran aqueduct systems, damaged during the Cardassian occupation". The exterior view of the Enterprise docked at an upper pylon is shown in both the DS9 episode "Emissary" and in the Next Generation episode "Birthright, Part I". However, in the TNG episode Bajor is nowhere to been seen. Both episodes take place before the station was moved closer to the wormhole by order of Major Kira in "Emissary, Part II" I understand this is a joke, but if that was a real camera set up like that Bajor wouldn't be in frame most of the time unless the station rotates.

Even if the station doesn't rotate, Bajor would not stay in the same place from the point of view of someone looking out a window.

Zurui posted:Westworld is loving fantastic. If you're not watching it, you should be. So far it's the best science fiction I've seen on television, ever. Yeah it's P good. Video games and buddhism have always been a good match but adding in blade runner and jaded skyrim PCs is a new sort of thing. And it pulls it off without effort. A friend told me she didn't know about watching it because it was violent and misogynistic. It's like yeah, makes you question whether it's right to bring new life into a world of corrupt power and pointless suffering. HMMMMM

Baronjutter posted:Are those the actual proportions of nu-trek ships? The nacels look so top-heavy or the supports so spindly. There's something about all the designs in nu-trek like they looked up some ancient secret geometry on how to make things look terrible through bad and unnatural proportions. Spaceships are spindly. Real spaceships are kind of neat with these weird butterfly unfolding from blunt cylinders to long fragile trusses and panels and antennae.
