That was Hal Sutherland, the animation director. However, his article on Memory Alpha blames the colorist, who wasn't colorblind, just liked those colors: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Hal_Sutherland

Eimi posted:In the Pale Moonlight is great, but I always saw is a Sisko being the villain there. Like his speech is incredible, but to me it always was meant to be a dark moment in his life. Its shot triumphantly, but if he really could live with it, he'd have turned himself in. Certainly Admiral Leyton would be proud of what Sisko had done there. This is part of what makes it great, imo

MuddyFunster posted:So did season 3 not redeem this show for folk round here? Season 3 drove me crazy because none of our favorite characters were acting like themselves for most of it - having arguments about the very things that TNG devoted entire episodes to how one should never doing them, then doing the things that their TNG selves said not to do. Like - not relinquishing command when emotionally compromised, as Picard should have when Jack was in danger. But the really unforgiveable part to me was the whole series mcguffin being that a woke collectivist mind virus is infecting the youth and only boomers can save us. It's hard to imagine anything less Trek. More like chuddy passion play. No thanks.

Atlas Hugged posted:I get what you are saying about planned arcs, but shooting scripts and production issues are very different beasts. You also have the departure of Susan Ivanova (Claudia Christian) from the station which required rewriting elements of the season 5 arc and introducing a new character. I know there's no official reason for why Christian left One of the key things to understand about the cast of B5 is that many of them were broken-down last chancers for one reason or another who J. Michael Straczynski was trying to give opportunities to. For instance, the guy who played Sinclair had to leave because his schizophrenia was becoming too bad to function. The guy who played Doctor Franklin is deaf and a lot of directors didn't want to work with a completely deaf actor. And Claudia Christian has been very public about her struggle with alcoholism and her recovery. AFAIK it was more due to that than anything else.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Given what the newer shows have been pulling and canonizing from all the novels, I’m already assuming the whole “Trip faked his death to help S31 influence the coming Romulan War” thing is implicit canon and it’s only a matter of time before Lower Decks or something references it.

That's crazy. I'd think Trip would think S31 is too much like the people who cloned up a baby out of him and T'pol's DNA to go along with any of that. And yeah, Trip is not someone I'd choose for that job. Better to go with a a Hawaiian xeno-anthropologist who at least knows how to pronounce mnhei'sahe ("The Romulan Way", Diane Duane)

AlternateNu posted:Yeah. I’m pretty sure that for the Klingons, at least, the title was a hold over from before the great houses wrested control from the monarchy. Plus, names don’t matter even in real life. Does anyone think North Korea is actually democratic, a republic, or even “of the people”? Oh my god this is so not true. Names do matter, extremely a lot, and that's why people misapply them. Why do corporations spend billions on branding if names don't matter? As Terry Pratchett put it, "Magic is the invocation of names." The invocation and manipulation of the meanings and semiotic associations of names is the basis of the emerging field of cognitive warfare! The goal is to undermine the meaning of those words, to change what people think those words mean. https://www.act.nato.int/article/cognitive-warfare-strengthening-and-defending-the-mind/ Marketing, religion, magic, cognitive warfare - they're all the same thing, but people react to them very differently depending on which name you try to use and what context you use it in. They all spread by unmooring symbols from their meaning in the mind of the audience and relinking or redefining them to a concept that is better aligned with the goals of the practitioner. For an example of how this kills, you need look only as far as the original Nazi "blood libel" of the Jews or the way transgender folk are being painted as "groomers" by the modern version. Remember when Critical Race Theory became a hot-button issue overnight? That was the result of a thinktank rear end in a top hat using controlled media platforms to redefine CRT as something other than what it is. https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1371540368714428416?s=20 https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-inquiry/how-a-conservative-activist-invented-the-conflict-over-critical-race-theory Names are powerful. Names are at the heart of everything. Names are one of the most powerful tools humanity has invented! But every tool is also a weapon, and what you're looking at is the weaponization of names.

Angry Salami posted:Yes, that's right, referring to the Romulan state as an 'Empire', when actually it appears to be an autocratic republic with no single head of state is exactly the same as blood libel. Huh? Read the post I quoted, maybe. I was responding to this comment about North Korea. Hell, it doesn't sound like you even read my post, from that comment. I didn't compare, or indeed mention, Star Trek. AlternateNu posted:Does anyone think North Korea is actually democratic, a republic, or even “of the people”?
