BioEnchanted posted:I kind of like Eddison in Deep Space 9, the mid-series Security Chief for the Federation (alongside Odo as chief of Bajoran security), because he's just there as some guy. No major subplots so far or drama, he just does his job and goes home. It's an amusing contrast to everyone else having some kind of major personal stakes in every situation. The important thing to remember as you watch is that Eddington really loves tomatoes.

Roadie posted:I always figured that it was the repetition. The food is of good quality, but once you've tried all 38 versions of mac and cheese in the replicator library you know literally exactly what you're going to get whenever you order mac and cheese, in taste, texture, arrangement, and everything else. That's perfectly fine (even good) for some people, but others will always want some real cooking for more variety. I’d figure by the 24th century, there’d be some random variables they could toss into the food algorithms, like After Effects expressions. “Pick a random number between 4-8 in terms of creaminess of this potato salad recipe”.

Should have just not involved Stewart and made Picard about the rest of the cast trying to locate him for 3 seasons, and then in the finale reveal that he’s been dead for ages and/or got his soul spliced into a new cast member.

Arivia posted:they came up with the idea of a Cardassian mole amongst the crew members and then worked backwards to insert Martha Hackett into episodes ahead of time, so yep! they did cast her to play a Cardassian I’m pretty sure this is the only time in the duration of Voyager they thought something out that far ahead.

Fighting Trousers posted:On this week's Star Trek: Enterprise, everything sucks and Jonathan Archer's just committed his fourth war crime before breakfast. The best one was S3’s Extinction, where the happy-go-lucky rendition of the theme was immediately preceded by an alien getting burned to death via a flamethrower while screaming horribly.

Is Enterprise now the only series where none of the cast has ever cameoed in another Trek? I would assume Keating and Trinneer would be 100% down for an LDS appearance.

MikeJF posted:https://i.imgur.com/wd8cHu7.mp4 Same, but it’s 1998 and it’s a fuzzy recording of the previous night’s new Voyager episode, Timeless. You saw the previews for it during the week, and the ship crashing into the ice planet captured your imagination. Sadly, it was on too late (5th grade woes) and had to settle watching it the next morning while you ate your Lucky Charms before catching the school bus.

Was there something unique about the behind-the-scenes with Prodigy that made it ripe for cancellation, or did it just have the unlucky crossover of “we need to do some magical accounting this quarter, and we think Prodigy is getting the least amount of views of all the Treks, even though we’re pretty sure all our viewer measurements are bullshit”? I though I heard something about it being a joint venture with Nickelodeon that made it a little wonky.

MikeJF posted:One of the plot elements of Picard season 2 is that on the Europa mission of 2024 we discovered a microorganism on Io that we were ultimately able to bioengineer in a way that enabled us to reverse most of the effects of climate change. Honestly it was kind of a pretty cool story hook and a fun bit of world-building, but in true Picard fashion, it was implemented in the worst way possible.

zoux posted:I never watched These Are the Voyages because I was like "everyone says Terra Prime is a fine finale so I'll just stop with that" but the problem is that it makes the very last scene of Enterprise Trip and T'pol mourning their dead baby. Honestly though that scene is a great end cap to Enterprise’s themes. The “maybe someday” lines while Trip and T’Pol hold hands shows that these two species, who were so at odds at the beginning, are now on the road to true cooperation and mutual love. And that can be extrapolated to humanity as a whole now being set on the right path to accept the coming alliances with the Vulcans, Tellarites, and Andorians. But yeah it’s a downer, I cried at the end when it first aired lmao

I like when he has an episode of self-reflection in S4 and has a “everything’s terrible, I’m terrible” breakdown. He’s a bit more chill after that - which I think might have been Coto course correcting his character.

disaster pastor posted:Right. There's a bit of tension in that he's fully aware of all the horrible bits but doesn't know there's (kind of) a happily-ever-after following them. I can see it now. Vina leads a newly restored Pike through a door, and suddenly they’re on the bridge of the Enterprise and all his friends are there - including Hemmer and whoever else has died along the way. Cue tearjerker music, end series.

I kinda love how engineering and cargo bay establish the Enterprise’s secondary hull being mostly a hollow tube staring at the inside of the deflector dish. I know they scaled up the Enterprise in Discovery only so that it didn’t look puny next to the Disco, but I swear they’ve been subtly shrinking it back down a bit. It’s still a big ship, but the Turbolift Dimension hasn’t appeared at all and they seem to be at least trying to have the sets grounded in some logical manner.

I like the sometimes uncanny-ness though. One of my favorite shots in the series is them walking to the crashed ship on the Gorn Ice Planet. It looks like a painted backdrop in the best way.
