MrL_JaKiri posted:I like early DS9 where they don't know quite what the tone is going to be, stuff like Move Along Home is like TOS in a good way Yeah in the first seasons it really seems like the series could of gotten quite a few different ways. While it would be terrible, I still sort of want to see a world in which they decide yeah lets just go all in and only make Move Along Home type episodes.

There's likely literally thousands of other worlds who could of done farming on. Hell even on earth which you would expect to be far more crowded than most places Picards family still have a massive vineyard. Eddington was just looking for an excuses to be a jerk he wanted to be.

Cross-Section posted:Ideally you could program in an algorithm to subtly change food consistency and temperature but dammit the head of astrophysics needs that extra processing power to chart a brown dwarf or some poo poo Oh come on we all know 95% of all computation power in the federation goes to holodecks related activities. Also it really doesn't make much sense with the amount of science people who would be replicating their food daily, that there wouldn't of been just a whole bunch of them who would of figured out many different ways to make food not taste identical every time you get it. Like this seems something that should be pretty trivial to figure out, and even in Starfleet crew members often seem to have time to work on what ever side projects they just feel like. I put people complaining about the food as people just like to complain about poo poo. I don't care how far humanities advanced, people love to bitch and moan about random stuff.

Yeah, she seems pretty chill but we do often just see her when shes having an argument. Outside her relationship with O'brien, there's very few times we see her. I think they might of meant to show her teaching a bit more, but as that's just a hard thing to naturally put in to any particular episode I think they only showed it like twice?

Arivia posted:As someone who is that messy, you don't know how it happens yourself. It just does. You were wearing your top and then you took it off to go to sleep and yep okay it's in the bathtub for some reason. My personal theory is because "messy" people have some sort of gremlin'esq creatures who follow them around go and mess everything up when no one's looking. This is because messy people are just naturally more friendly, intelligence, good looking, witty, funny, charming, and just all around better people, which attracts these gremlin'esq creatures to them.

Is it a perfect episode, like of course not, but if Move along home is the dystopian future that humanity is destined to be trapped in for the rest of it's existence, than yeah sure, so be it.

IShallRiseAgain posted:Nah, Nemesis is bad, but stuff sort of happens even if most of it is fake and didn't really happen. The Fight is just one long and boring dream sequence with badly done native American stuff. Episodes of TV that are "It was all just are dream" are really hard to do right in everything other than plot light comedies, as it normally just feels like you completely waste of everyone's time. You're not twin peaks. Stop trying to be!

Beeftweeter posted:i never really watched boston legal when it was on the air, were those jump cuts and weird pans in the original? good lord that's distracting I'd forgotten how wildly the shooting and editing was in that show, but yeah it was. I don't think the camera was ever still for the entirety of the show. editing that show must of been a nightmare. Or maybe super easy, as like could anyone actually say you screw up? Spend most of an important dialogue scene on jittery cut-away shots of random objects in the room. Sure, why not!

Timby posted:Homicide: Life on the Street, too. It's always amazing when great shows like that come out to great acclaim, when people try and copy them they always seem completely not understand what made them great and just take some surface level style stuff that doesn't work without all the rest of it. The shaky cam from the Bourne films was the worst for this I think. That ruined so many action films for at least a decade or two.

Khanstant posted:Will you be lost if you haven't played all infinity of the other games yet? Just 1-1.54353 × 1014 Infinite sort of just ignores a lot of plot of the games after that. Fans pretty much agree that was a wise decision, that just went off in a whole weird direction. Soft reboot was a wise choice.

thotsky posted:The Federation-Cardasssian war having lasted as long is a bit of a mystery, but I think it is implied that multiple truces and peace attempts by the Federation were exploited by the Cardasssians. They're an empire in decline, if not broken. I think it's also implied that the Cardassians put a lot of resources into the war and it was their main focus where as for the federation it was just one of many boarder conflict that if you have boarders as big as the Federation you just have to sometimes deal with.

Tighclops posted:TekWar is basically low rent knock off blade runner but made out of early 90's clip art and filmed in Toronto I just thought Tekwar was some books and a video game didn't know it was tv show/movie. The movies up on youtube and was just skimming through it, and oh god is this part hilariously 90's goofy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_foClSWUbM&t=1842s It's the contentious cutways to the b-roll of close up of the dog barking in wide angle that really puts it over the edge. Genius. Like everyone involved in that scene must of known it was a joke right?

Yeah it was pretty obvious the writers didn't seem to know what to do with Troi. That Guinan just worked a lot better in the counselor role certain didn't help, but even before that Troi often just seemed to be there, except at any point she might be able to instantly solve a problem.

Looking at what's actually available in 4k, and wow they really isn't nearly as much as I thought there would be. Haven't bothered to check for a while. Seems netflix started 4k streaming in 2014 apparently, and getting near ten years on from that it's still very, very far from universal.

Der Kyhe posted:so ~30 years if you luck into getting one from the surplus auction. Sweet! Does bring up questions after a few centuries of space ship building, just how many private ships are floating around the Federation. You'd think by Lower Decks time at least around some places like earth would be busy as hell. I think Yorktown was one of the few times on Star Trek they really showed places being really populated (probably a budget thing usually).

Particularly spacedock. I assume that would be pretty visible.
