Can't believe you left out the best and most canon of Star Trek, Galaxy Quest.

I've always been curious if the real reason Q doesn't do much in the one DS9 episode he's in and never appears again is because he didn't want to piss off the Prophets, what with Sisko being part Prophet and everything.

Vulcan men have a 7 year refractory period.

Hasn't it been shown that the Federation tends to do badly in any war against the Klingons though? Yesterday's Enterprise comes to mind, and the Klingon war arc in DS9. And that's not even counting Disco.

I think the Federation president and Council are also the defacto government of Earth, since that's where it's located. For instance during the DS9 episode where Red Squad try to stage a coup on Earth, we see the Federation president but I don't recall them ever mentioning an Earth president or government.

So member species of the Federation have their own fleets, with the exception of humans because of Star Fleet. Do those fleets ever get involved in wars?

It was kind of weird that shows set after the TNG era went out of their way to show that hologram tech seems to have gotten worse over time. When they aren't flickering randomly, they're dumb as rocks and can apparently be disabled by blinking at them, and that was a flaw that was apparently around for 900 years.

I always found this kind of funny because what difference would it have made had he been promoted, other than a boost to his self-esteem? They're stuck in the Delta Quadrant so it's not like they have regular crew rotations. What extra authority or responsibilities would he have gained that he didn't already have as part of the senior bridge crew? Who could he order around now that he couldn't before? It seemed like he was always in the Captain's position in the Night Crew for instance, and could order the other ensigns around when the show remembered they existed. Whether you see this as an argument for or against Harry's promotion I'll leave up to you.

I don't really mind Section 31 as presented in DS9, and if you keep watching you'll see why. It's the later series portrayals that are just bad, with the possible exception of Enterprise maybe.

I assume it's because season one also had a lot of people writing/working on scripts in TNG that were also in TOS like DC Fontana etc., so it probably gives off TOS vibes when they were still trying to figure the overall direction of TNG.

cenotaph posted:I agree. I was also thinking that recently when I was watching some Enterprise. I think they got some replacement parts from some aliens and I thought it would be neat if they had picked up some noticeable parts from other species over time. At least they remembered damage sometimes. Of course they remembered damage, it was the first time there was serialization in Star Trek.

Eh there were certain parts where the designs of the new cgi seemed way out of place with the general aesthetic of TOS. The android showing its insides off comes to mind.

zoux posted:I know she’s said that had they written her more like they did in Skin of Evil she would’ve stuck around. My impression is that Crosby left because she didn’t think her character was well used and McFadden “left” because she pushed back against sexism in scripts, and probably on set as well, and therefore clashed with the show runner. There was a huge staff shakeup before s3, even got a new cinematographer From what I understood, Denise left because they didn't do much with her character and she didn't want to spend the rest of the series standing behind the wooden arch on the bridge. Marina stated that, had Denise not left, there was a good chance that Troi would have been killed off instead, since they didn't really know what to do with character most of the time. She gathered this after talking with Majel, who confirmed that they were seriously considering killing Troi off.

The DS9 theme is the best, because it's the only theme you can sing along to by singing Meow Meow Meow Meow. At least until season 4.

Railing Kill posted:I liked how that episode ended. DS9 handed trauma well compared to most Trek, and I liked that they didn't take the easy, episodic way out by mashing the ol' reset button at the end of the episode. VOY would have done nothing with it, and been borderline offensive about dismissing trauma. One thing I forgot about it until a recent view is that it's mentioned that O'Brien is seeing a counsellor in it. Compared to say, that episode where B'elanna gets depression after finding out all the Maquis in the Alpha Quadrant are dead and Chakotay is like put your big girl pants on and stop being depressed.

Wil Wheaton then? If that story about how he was offered a major role in a movie and Berman refused to let him have time off for it because there were major Wesley episodes coming up, only for them to be him just be on the bridge with no lines, and it was implied Berman did it on purpose because they didn't want to risk Wheaton becoming a movie star was true that is.

The Klingons didn't have an emperor for centuries until the clone of Kahless came along, and that role is strictly ceremonial and spiritual.

DS9 goes into more detail about it. Especially the episode where Jadzia has to pass a bunch of tests in order to marry Worf. Like how the Klingons briefly experimented with democracy.

I think it's implied in Picard that Worf was the captain of the Enterprise E, and subsequently got it blown up.

In theory Trip was the first officer. But he was in engineering 99% of the time so T'Pol was the actual first officer.

Pinterest Mom posted:It's usually just replacing the matte painting for whatever planet they're beaming down on. It's a good use of it, in keeping with the vague "we're staging a play" sense that a lot of TOS and TNG/DS9/Voyager have. Didn't the La Sirena bridge on Picard have the same problem? Like the bridge was in a giant room.
