feedmyleg posted:Have any more info on this? Sounds like an interesting read. I'll see if I can dig it up but I heard about it like 10ish years ago and google has gotten shittier over time. It might have been the original disneyland, even What I recall is that they very much wanted a small parcel of land, and the person living on it very much liked his small little home how it was, especially the old tree and riverbend just outside his window. He wouldn't budge even for a large amount of money, and Walt decided that upping the price wouldn't work. So he roped in a few of his workers and had them try an alternate approach. They found a riverbend that matched well enough, with an old tree in just the right location, and built a copy of the guy's house, and did some landscaping to patch up the finer details. This was, apparently, enough to convince him to sell. They had a similar person they also had to convince during disney world construction, who eventually sold after Walt Disney pulled some strings and got his football hero Paul William "Bear" Bryant to come down and talk to him personally, but I'm having trouble finding info on that too.

IShallRiseAgain posted:The entire point is that nobody can actually know what he did or the Romulan alliance would have fallen apart and it would have all been for nothing. He can live with keeping it a secret because telling anybody would risk the Romulans finding out. Which shows a pretty deep misunderstanding of their psychology. In the spinoff stuff the Romulans find out about it and are like 'ah the Federation are finally willing to take things seriously like adults'

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I'm quickly turning into 'the B5 guy', but: one of the things that makes Babylon 5 work so well is that it's not tethered to canon. JMS could invent the universe with each episode because B5 was a standalone series. As long as it was consistent with what had been portrayed about the characters and world in previous episodes of B5, which allowed him to build on previously told stories ...now what's the term for that?

It's not a big spoiler, a later voyager episode mentions that on their ship the holodeck has a totally separate power supply incompatible with the rest of the ship, which is almost certainly because they designed the Voyager class a few years later, and Geordi complained about having his holoddeck power limited by thr ship's power supply in this episode.

nine-gear crow posted:Yeah, Worf made it to captain and was in command of the Enterprise-E for its final mission, all details of which, including the fate of the E itself have been classified by Starfleet as an excuse by the showrunners to let someone else tell the story of the E's final days in novel, comic or video game form. The E was also at Gamma Serpentis and was one of the ships that got hosed up by the Living Construct, and was presumably under Worf's command at the time as well because Picard was an admiral by that point and leading the Romulan evacuation from the USS Verity. Worf altered the separation of the Enterprise to look a little bit like the original Probert art  but mostly like a giant space Bat'leth

BonHair posted:Isn't Klingon society basically in decline because they went from having a nuanced society to focusing everything on combat and honour? I think TNG had a Klingon scientist who just wanted to do some engineering, but she kept having to deal with getting looked down on for not fighting.  Despite any canon to the contrary, I posit this as the only possible way that Klingons could have developed warp technology.

 Captain, we have discovered a loophole in the admiral's security system. While there are intensive biometric scans, they are only applied to 'unknown' individuals, that is, those without a commbadge. And individuals without a commbadge are instantly transported into the brig, no exceptions. I see. Number one, I believe this is your department. All I need to do to save the Federation is seduce some hottie from the crew, scoop up the commbadge from my bedroom floor, then transport over to the ship and rip the tabs off the commanding officer? My whole career has lead up to this moment.

No Dignity posted:Picard's rationale is just so self-serving too! They're a space faring civilisation, not primitive natives and he already interfered in their affairs when he saved their lives at the start of the episode, but then he ignores any avenue that could give them a more positive (or at least informed) outcome, he's just playing god from a ivory tower and congratulating himself for his wisdom, it's contemptible. The video by the Freeman's mind guy about that episode is pretty great, and I have to wonder if the LD guys saw it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lQ1XIrXjls
