I just realized that I've never purchased any of the Lower Decks blu-rays and should rectify that (after the post above saying Amazon is out of Season 4). Are there extras on the disks?

Voyager has seven Emmys, The Wire only has two.

Well then maybe The Wire should have had more episodes set on alien planets! :smuggo:

I think the D7 and the newer Vor’Cha(?) Klingon ships aren’t appreciated enough. Much better than the bird of prey, big or small.




This is where you crush me and reveal they’re basically copied from another TV show or book or something.

The D 7 is still my favorite Trek ship after the Refit Connie. I was stoked when the Vor'cha showed up in TNG as I was never a big fan of the bird of prey as well.

Kirk did recite the Pledge of Allegiance then admonish the aliens for not following the true Consitution

For decades people have said Spock's Brain was the dumbest TOS episode but that one was the worst piece of crap ever conceived in the show's entirety.

I never loved the Odo Kira stuff

It never worked for me because Odo is a fascist and I doubt Kira would have had anything to do with him beyond "I work with this rear end in a top hat"

Better yet, with direct manipulation of the molecules involved, the replicators can make stuff that tastes a specific way but has the nutritional content you need (and possibly zero calorie if necessary.)

That would be the dream, order whatever you want and the ship's computer already knows how much you ate per day, your BMR, and how much you exerted yourself on the ship and gives you the exact amount of calories and nutrients you need to be 100% healthy, craving free, and ideal weight.

I think the computer is limited on what it knows about you when it comes to things like blood sugar levels, nutrients taken in (You might have had a protein bar you had in your pocket from a while back that you didn’t replicate etc) as you still have to have medical scans done to you to find out what’s up. In TMP those little tech looking belt buckles WERE medical scanners that were supposed to feed info to the computer all the time but iirc in one official book they mentioned those were short lived because many SF members started neglecting going to sick bay for regular check ups because they figured the belt info was enough.

I haven't watched Enterprise in decades but the one thing I remember that still annoys me is hearing that T'Pol was originally written to be a young T'Pau from Amok Time but then they decided not to do that. I still think it would have been an interesting thread to do.

Yeah it was creepy how may times they sexualized situations with her for no reason other than Maxim Magazine was cultrually popular so might as well tits this place up, boys.

I used to think about this as a kid. Why not just embed stun phasers into every room on the ship?

IIRC there was one time where the Enterprise in TOS used the ship's phasers set to stun to knock out a big crowd of people on the surface of a planet. I wondered why that wasn't used more than once.

Honestly the thing I see here is someone’s pride and joy. There’s an incredible amount of work put into organizing, staging, etc. it’s overwhelming but it’s obviously a labour of love, if that makes sense.

I completely agree- and there are some wild things that I never knew existed on that person's collection, like the different Star Trek character thimbles!

Also I had forgotten how awful the JJ Trek phasers looked.

drat, "Duet" is so loving good.

I'll go ahead and say it: I'm glad Michelle Forbes passed on DS9, because Kira Nerys is a better character than Ro Laren.

I can agree that Kira was better for DS9, but Ro was better for TNG.

On CBS Sunday Morning, there was a media interview with a birdwatcher and nature show host who is also a Star Trek fan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1E71CwXJhI

Edit: In the video, he credits being a fan of Spock for helping him stay calm and rational during an incident where a dogwalker threatened to lie to the cops that "an African-American male" was threatening her life and her dog, then she called the cops

As a kid with wildly overwhelming emotions, Spock was also my role model. :unsmith:

I'd say Olmos walks off set after a week because he can't stand the Klingon makeup and thinks the script is dogshit, never does anything sci-fi related again.

I'd pay real earth dollars to see Olmos playing a Klingon captain like El Pachuco.
