Honestly all it would take is a nearly perfect image/actor in scene that increases in chromatic aberration as the camera moves around to remind you that it's not a physical object.

No Dignity posted:Please, continue with the updates. This is the correct answer. There's so much excellent ferengi content sprinkled throughout DS9. Just watching the Ferengi specific episodes will have you missing the root beer speech, or Quark teaching a Vulcan about logic. Or there's "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River" which finally demonstrates how Ferengi culture can function as a cooperative society.

Is it weird for me to say that I'd like to see SNW have Matt Decker show up, just to do a character study on him when he's not mad with grief?

Timby posted:In TOS' The Enterprise Incident, Spock says that Starfleet Intelligence reports that the Klingons and Romulans have been sharing technology (which is the on-screen explanation for why the Romulans are using Klingon D-7s; in reality, Wah Chang smashed the original Romulan Bird of Prey model after he got ratted out to the propmakers' union). Wanting to steal a planet killing weapon is way more in line with how the Romulans operate. I guess they wanted something more visually distinct than 'vulcans, but not'.

We've only ever definitively had just one Doctor twice on a Star Trak. Phlox on the NX-01 because it was a small ship, and The Doctor on Voyager because everyone else was dead.

MuddyFunster posted:Identity Crisis, come the gently caress on, what was that? Already wasn't on board for another round of "Geordie sits in ten forward and boisterously laughs like a weirdo in the proximity of women", this really is far too soon after Galaxy's Child. But then, the episode itself is just the dumbest of dumb schlock. He yet again attempts to solve a mystery by heading off into the holodeck and is farting about in there for far too goddamn long, before turning into a ludicrous UV light monster that certainly wasn't intended to hold up to HD scrutiny. Boy oh boy, what a pile of poo poo. Identity crisis isn't a great episode, but it's also an episode I point out that when TNG dips into Horror, it often does it quite well.

thotsky posted:If you're a warrior you're a warrior until death. Retirement, or dying of old age, is portrayed as the worst possible fate, and a grave dishonor, multiple times across the various shows. Eh, there seem to be several different paths Klingon warriors can take. There are those who, when confronted with peace, lose their poo poo and turn allies into enemies. There's those who aren't so bloodthirsty but still lose themselves and become a shell of the people they once were. Then there are those who, while no longer having physical foes to conquer, find a metaphorical foe to vanquish, and while some of the more narrow minded klingons might sneer at them, those with any amount of introspection understand that such undertakings are still worthy endeavors.

MuddyFunster posted:The Crystaline Entity returns! Silicon Avatar doesn't begin all that well. Oh, the attack by the entity is quite tense and scary, but then when the story introduces ENTITY HUNTER EXTRAORDINAIRE Doctor Marr and her unreasonably lovely attitude towards Data, it began losing me a teensy bit. She is incredibly nasty. And then, some way in, it becomes painfully clear that Marr is wounded, obsessive, more than a little unbalanced and probably shouldn't be there. Naturally, Troi does not pick up on this. Still, it's sad, real sad. The final scene is so perfectly low key too. No grandstanding or clumsy moralising, just a muted, sober conversation with Data, one final shot of her looking quietly crestfallen, cut to the Enterprise drifting away. Such a kick in the nuts. Great guest star turn from Ellen Geer. No one liked that title card, and you only have to put up with it for that season.

Crusher is command qualified. I don't know exactly what that means in the context of Trek, really, but if it's anything like the US Navy that should mean she has at least a basic understanding of every critical system on the ship, right? It's not like TNG didn't demonstrate that she was competent as a ship's commander.

When she comes back after that with the goofy episode with Alexander, I felt a lot more receptive to her. I'd probably feel the same about the earlier episodes too if I saw them again, possibly? You have discovered that Lwaxana is good, actually.

One of the things I loved about tWOK was how when those ships shot each other they were positively wrecking house. Even though it's all bullshit and the rules are all made up, the fact that a shot was doing visible damage that carried over from scene to scene helped sell the reality of the situation. Pirouetting across the screen and putting on a light show had all the impact from Galaxy Quest where Tim the toolman said "fire the green lasers, fire the blue lasers" in the most disinterested tone he could manage.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:how the gently caress did they do that, were they just carpet-bombing random planets?! The dominion invaded and captured Betazed. It was the site of multiple Federation counter attacks. Also, an antimatter powered starship can sterilize a planet all by itself. 7 billion is low compared to stripping the biosphere of a planet, which is something the captain of any starship can accomplish on zero notice.
