Father of the Year editionPreviously on /trek/: >>214162477
star trek sex with shran
>>214173257I liked that he ended up being the good luck fuckup of the rotarran
>>214173257Alexander killed the last gilvo in the universe
>>214173280Quark had one thoughbeit
>>214173280And it was delicious.
There sure are a lot of retards in these threads despite this being such an enlightening show.Yes I'm talking about the AI shitbot
Obligatory
Why did they lower Worf's voice in Nemesis? so stupid
Is getting joined with a trill the ultimate coom experience?
>>214173257Does he show up in Picard?
>>214173288Didn't the Most Toys guy have one in his collection?
>>214173335No lol even the showrunners forgot about him
Trump would have never been president if 7 of 9 didn't get obama elected.
I'm on season 4 and she's still doing the meme voice even though it's established the rest of her race don't speak like this. Do they ever let her stop and just speak like a bonger?
>>214173273Crazy to imagine that guy was going to become a diplomat in the future. I wonder what brave Klingon deed he did to be granted the rank of Conversation Master.
>>214173353What the hell I always thought she was supposed to be way more exotic than a bonger. I don't know what to believe anymore
>>214173353Only in the moviesEveryone stopped giving a fuck in the movies. Levar Burton didn't want to wear the visor anymore, Marina dropped the accent, Patrick Stewart changed the scripts
Jadzia I have a different worm to put inside you you're going to be alright hehehe
Bashir is touching her face in such a weird way, what the hell
>>214173407Rick Berman was too tired to wrangle them anymore
>>214173273That was retarded. Alexander's entire character on DS9 was dumb as fuck.
>>214173299It's funny because you're kind of outing yourself as the retard who doesn't understand the show
All this Dax episode does is remind me how much better DS9 would've been with a male Dax who could actually be Sisko's best friend
>>214173461Makes you wish you could forget he even existed, like Worf tried doing.
Worf is a terrible personJadzia is a terrible personEzri is a terrible personDax is a terrible wormBashir is a monstrosity
If Jadzia died in a season 5, I think the show would be better
Tuvok is a good Klingon
I'm so glad they got rid of Pulaski so we could have all those important Beverly episodes.
>>214173608Remember Me, Attached, Allegiance
>>214173404Sirtis is Greek born in Bongland. She did an Israeli accent as Troi.
DS9 VOY and ENT are grimdark soapslop. NuTrek is faggot shit. I long for Trek to return to being an autistic coworker public relations simulator.
>>214173665>Kal-El..... No!
DS9 is not grimdark it's funny as fuck
>>214173665Her accent does sound Greek, I don't know if you've ever heard it IRL
>>214173404She has the stereotypical bri’ish slag voice, it brings her down in attractiveness. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BGQm5hJZWC8&pp=ygUNTWFyaW5hIHNpcnRpc9IHCQmyCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D
>>214173608Suspicions was pretty good
>Gwan Roikah zap that fackin Lacyootus geezah inta smithareens wif tha deflectah dish beam an i’ll give ya a handie unda tha table in ten forwahd
>>214173299why are you complaining about ai when the actor with the most star trek credits voiced the ai computer
>>214173257
guys I just can't say enough how much I hate Trill
>>214173870They're a "cool on paper, shit in practice" race to be honest
>>214173870Huh??
>>214173953Never mind, I misread the post.
>>214173935precisely correct
>>214173461Alexander was shit in TNG as well. He's just a shit character.
Humans and Vulcans should be in the Federation That’s itAdding Klingons was pure wokeness.
>>214173935>my umpteenth host gooblazar once did this exact procedure>what? no I can't help with it, I can only humble brag about it
>>214173870same
>>214173870I liked the premise, but they didn't do right by Dax. Having the relationship between Dax and Sisko go from mentor and student with Curzon, to equals with Jadzia, and finally to student and mentor with Ezri was cool, but they didn't do enough to show their friendship until season 6. Jadzia hung out with Quark more than she did with Sisko. They should have thrown a baseball or something around.
Why no more platonic soulmates relationships in later Treks like Kirk and Spock? It’s kino.
>>214174234It's because jadzia sucks. Her episodes aren't even about her, they're about the worm or some unfinished business of a previous host. Ezri 's better because she's cuter, has her own backstory besides the worm and when she talks about her previous hosts she babbles and sounds idiotic which fits because trills are stupid. Jadzia tries to sound wise talking about her previous hosts but trills are stupid so it doesn't work.
>>214174334Data and Picard, Tuvok and Neelix.
Why was Star Trek Nemesis such a depressing slog?
>>214174395It did what Enterprise did: desperately tried to appeal to general audiences instead of Star Trek audiences
>>214174411Yeah but if they wanted that it would've been non stop pewpewpew quips tits! like JewJew trek
>>214174366>Data and PicardRetconned to be significant later just like how in later TNG seasons Tasha Yar was Data’s bestie. >Tuvok and NeelixNot platonic but sexual in nature.
So where were Miles and Keiko planning to fuck during their trip before Miles got captured and tortured by the Cardassians?
>>214174450This was a pretty weird time for Hollywood action movies.
It's GEORDI and DATA you PLEBS
>>214174501Why are the transporter pads jammed into the cockpit when there's all that space aft?
>>214174334What're you talking about? there are plenty of strong male friendships in Berman Trek>Geordi and Data>O'Brien and Bashir>Paris and KimThese are all strong heteronormative male relationships
>>214174590Since there is often only a crew of one, there is a need to transport directly to the control area to be able to quickly take control of the ship in various situations.
>>214174470Picard loved Data. He was teaching him Shakespeare on the holodeck in season two or three.
I like the relationship between Dukat and Weyoun
>>214174501wtf why they have a meeting room on a small ship like the Runabout?
>>214174623Why would you have a crew of one on a ship that size? Isn't a shuttle more appropriate?
>>214174656to meet
>>214174643Geordi was being his Watson since season 2.
>>214174701But anon, it is a shuttle!
do you guys remember that retarded hologram bridge projection thing they did like 2 times in DS9? did they ever have that in Voyager? it was so dumb and just did not work lol. what were they even thinking?
>>214174590They didn't build a set for the back except for one episode of TNG and never used it again
>>214174884They wanted an excuse for Sisko and Eddington to act face to face instead of doing over the viewscreen and shooting their lines separately.
>>214174984but why
>>214175012It was more kino that way
>>214174984Eddington is the hammiest trek character since Kirk.
>>214174334>platonic soulmatesyou mean best friends? why do you people keep coming up with new terms for things when they already exist. you're not "neuro-divergent", you're WEIRD
>>214174656it's more like a lounge or a living room
>>214174763Picard and Data were doing Dixon Hill holoprograms in season one. Picard went undercover on Romulus with Data. Picard liked Data and enjoyed mentoring him and Data was an apt pupil.
I love Enterprise.
>>214173257This also works with Spock and Sarek.
>>214173313Knee licks was clearly a pedophile >she’s not a day over nine..>TOO OLD, that goes against Talaxian culture
>>214174949The opening scene of the movie Serenity where the captain walks through the entire ship showing every part of the ship is how every spaceship should be introduced.
>>214175483He is guided by the prophet Muhammad in the ways of Islam to worship Allah
>>214175450Makes more sense with Spock and Sarek given their predisposition to being holier than thou, logic driven, green bloodied viggers. Worf was just a piece of shit dead beat dad.
>>214175571Did jadzia know about Alexander before she started fucking Worf? I know Martok never knew about him before he showed up on the station and Martok adopted Worf into his house.
>>214174602add trip+reed
Did this nigga steal a temporal Cold War time ship? Said he got it in the 22nd Century, says he mugged a guy from the 26th for it.
>>214174570Its pronounced Data you midwit
I only have four gb free on my harddrive. Which DS9 episodes should I dl?
HELP
>>214176256The Muse
>>214175449>character only becomes interesting in the last few episodes of the series

Starfleet knew how to get Voyager home sooner but they hated Janeways ass.
>>214173706Anyone who says it's grimdark hasn't watched it
>captain murders a romulan for political gain>federation is shadowruled by a secret fascist organization>the doctor is an augment hiding his origin like he'll be sent to a concentration camp if he's found out>there's a seedy bar with sex programs on the stations, the bartender tries to get a 3d scan of the first officer so he can sell her image to clients who wish to rape her>because of real politik the federation is systematically killing and imprisoning federation citizens fighting for their lives and homes against evil cardassians>the captain bombs two planets in one episode>not grimdark

I would like to see more of what's going on with regular people on Earth.
>>214177501They make jambalaya.
>>214177501drug-fueled orgies in coomieblocks of an unimaginable scale. /trek/ hates these discussions of a post-scarcity society with replicators.
>>214177383You could dishonestly claim the same thing about TNG>Federation is taken over by evil parasite aliens that get exploded with the most gore ever shown on Star Trek at the end of the episode >those translators getting turned into spooky skeletons>lady getting phased into the floorand so on and so forth, too lazy to go through and cherrypick every example that serves my argument
A show isn't grimdark just when something bad happens. And it's not not grimdark if you put in some funny moments. It's about the overall tone and outlook of the world and people. Bladerunner and Alien are grimdark because everyond is just a pawn in a dog eat dog world. In DS9 the main characters defend freedoms and a free society, uphold family and friendship amidst danger and propagate these values even to enemies and when they fail to live up to it they are sad.
>Starfleet higher-ups are unhinged psychos who will lead entire crews to their deaths just for a shot at revengeDid Roddenberry hate Star Trek?
>grimdarkjust imagine that i posted the spongebob rollercoaster imagei'm not actually going to go and find it because you don't deserve even the minimal effort that would take
>>214177689TOS wasn't a utopia. He only came up with these ideas for TNG.
>>214177677>DS9 the main characters defend freedoms and a free society, uphold family and friendship
>>214173273I like that Worf didn't want him there because he doesn't think Alex really cares about being a Klingon. Not that that his son is only 9-10 years old serving in on war ship.
>>214178087It's not a warship
I am hereby taking command of /trek/.
>>214177689What are you talking about?
>>214177383>No he doesn't >No it isn't>No he won't and he doesn't >That was illegal >No they aren't >No he doesn't Moron
>>214178440I'm not sure I like your tone, anon.
>>214175449>Reed alert
>>214178452Don't try and talk about things you know nothing about, moron
>>214178456trip and reed were the best
Any trekisodes about being a social reject desperate for any kind of human contact?
>>214174023>"I want to be an accountant">"KLINGONS ARE NOT ACCOUNTANTS"
>>214178481trip was the best, reed is a completely forgettable character
>>214177648TNG is a deeply pessimistic take on Star Trek. DS9 returned the franchise to the optimism of the original series.
>>214178516Absurd malljeet cope
>>214178476take the stick out of your ass
>>214178506>t. travis
>>214178493Both Barclay and Geordi have creepy holodeck incel episodes in TNG.
>>214178527TNG made the Federation into a jingoistic military bent on genociding other species, DS9 walked it back.
>>214178544I don't think any other person would agree with this retarded take.
>>214178539Barclay broke the holodeck TOS off-cam.
>>214178560>what is First Contact
>>214178544Sisko was a lot more of a saber rattler than Picard. By a long shot.
>>214173721>Chav TrekFucking kill me now
>encounter at PowerPoint
Reg still having a job after they discovered the “Wesley is my spank slave” program being discovered is crazy. It was a different time. Didn’t Hack Mirror do an episode where they killed off a Reg type guy too to make a moralcuck point?
>>214178560That is why you fail.
>>214178604It's a dumb opinion and you should reconsider it. I know you won't because you're dumb, but you should.
>>214178599>walk into holodeck >reg is pounding your holosister>no crime committed ;)
>>214178618kinoakoochemoyafirst true garak episodekinoehhhhh
>>214178618lol a pile of trash day, I guess the omega directive is ok and the ds9 one is better then the last one
>>214178618>native american indians
>>214174590The tech manual books said the aft part of the runabout could be swapped out for different modules (but that was never shown). So having the transporter in the front makes sure it's always there.
>>214179298they kinda "show" it in the sense that sometimes they have the torpedo mount and sometimes they don't
>>214179298It's a pitty that we never got to see them walking into one of those variable modules. It could have been a small lab, a medical bed or a cargo compartment with special stuff. But they always do all the shit from the cockpit.
>do an honor killing>I'm placing a written warning into your employee record Mr. Worf >:(
>>214179298The central corridor should be retractable or temporary, it takes up unnecessary space from the module. The Eagles from Space 1999 just had cockpit in front and engine in back when unloaded.
>>214179888That's the one thing I don't like about the Runabout. You need the corridor to reach the aft compartment and if it's not there it *needs* to be part of the swappable module. You could have a bigass cargo module but if it's full you can't get to the dining room. I would be cool if the aft compartment could also be detached. Then a "really big"® cargo module could be attached, maybe with a big door at the aft for unloading.
What would you consider low effort posting?
>>214180630
>>214173257I like how Michael Dorn straight up admits Worf is a terrible father. Yet he is never included in listicles of “worst TV fathers” next to Petter Griffin, Cotton Hill, and Clay Puppington.
>>214179679>Captain, I wish to die>That’s fair, mista Worf. You are a useless cripple, after all. I’ll arrange for your position to be filled posthaste.
Starfleet officers must be ready for ANY situation, including the rare, but cunning, flying negro.
>>214181800I'll have you know freighter and freighter related activities are a lot of work, heh no free rides on this freighter my dad use to say, thats back when I was on a freighter I grew up on one you see
>>214181104I think to be considered for that list you have to at least attempt to be a father in the first place.
>>214182312Those are some juicy nacelles!
>>214180630All of my posts. All of them.
>>214182395yes we know
>>214182312I love freighters
>>214181800Mayweather's birthplace was the ECS Horizon, a human cargo ship, placing him among the first generation of humans born in space. A "Space Boomer":Due to his upbringing, Mayweather was known as a "space boomer" and was surrounded by the daily life of cargo freighters, the hum of engines, and the smells of recycled air.
>>214182471in space everyone can smell your farts
>>214182453Me too freighters sure are interesting so much to discuss for instance did you know they could only go warp 2? took a lot of time getting anywhere but like my dad said its not when you arrive but how you get there that counts
>>214182750we don't talk about the dark times

>>214183102What context do you require
>>214183128List names of films
>>214183179If you have successfully deduced that the numbers represent the corresponding film entry, you don't require me to spell out their names
>>214182395Shadow President Mignogna,Reports have arrived that asset "Orange Julius Bashir" is no more. Shall I deploy our doppelgängstalker to ease the transition? Long live The Plan. Debrief at tonight's DS9 watch along!
>>214183201JUST LIST THEM
>>214178599>>214178653It’s likely they have “digital rape” laws prohibiting making holoclones of real people for sexual release. Like how we already have laws against AI deepfakes of non consenting people.
>>214183292they do even on ds9, quark illegally tries to make a kira hologram by one of the combs

>>214183261No, I respect your intelligence too much
>>214183347it was literally never stated to be "illegal" why are you lying?
My Nick Mullen holoprogram that I use for totally not gay reasons got loose and now we need to kill it before it reaches Harry Kim. My bad.
>>214183457its literally stated as being illegal, why are you pretending you've watched ds9?
>>214183505why are you lying?http://www.chakoteya.net/DS9/454.htm
>>214183179I tried giving it to AI, his best guess is Star Wars, Fast and Furious, or Halloween
>it's a "Janeway just wants some coffee NAO, but Neelix is a gourmet and insists on taking forever by hand grinding single batch Yemeni light roast and slowly using a Hario NXA-5 siphon using a butane burner (which was a fire hazard) and it took too long and Janeway is pissed" episodeGod I hate these eps
>>214183574lmao you literally haven't seen ds9 have you? stop reading wikis you moron, Odo offers to arrest Quark after they figure ut what he's done, now stop trying ti discuss things you know nothing about, wiki reading faggot
>>214183588I had butane coffee once in Japan made from actual Jamacian Blue Mt. and I have been chasing that dragon ever since.
>>214183622its just weird how you think you can lie about star trek in a star trek general as if no one would notice
>>214183647I'm not you are you stupid faggot, its illegal thats why odo offers to arrest him, you've never seen ds9 you have no idea what you are talking about now stop embarrassing yourself, you idiot
>>214183578It guessed Rocky or Star Trek, after 7 attemptd
>>214183669if you read the script or even had watched ds9 at all you'd know it's because Quark illegally hacked into personnel files. he literally says it 2 seconds before offerinf to arrest him. making a deep fake holocoom program of someone isn't illegal. you're wrong. now go talk to Worf.
>>214183702yes I know because its illegal to have the holo profile of real people without permission, now once again stop trying to discuss what you have never seen
>>214183728>because its illegal to have the holo profile of real people without permissionno it isnt, you're just lying. still lying.
>>214183644NuTrek never even attempted to find their Jeffrey Combs who could show up at any time as any character.
>>214183644Try the Yemeni stuff, it's a game changer. I understand now why "mocha" adds chocolate, the actual stuff from al-mukha has that complexity built in. The steampunk siphon stuff is fun but honestly an aeropress is better than either a siphon or a chemex
>>214183746no i'm not hilarious that you said>read the scriptwhen I simply watched the show, you lying faggot last (you) don't ever post again until you've actually watched what your trying to discuss
>>214183770you're lying. if you weren't you'd have proof but you don't. you're freaking out acting like the literal script of the show is "wiki" so you can dismiss it. do you realize it's impossible for you to ha ve watched something that never occurred in the script? so I guess you're not lying you're hallucinating and have that kind if dementia that makes you angry
wiki faggot, you haven't watched it your opinion doesn't matter at all, now your not going to get any more reply's at all.
I like to think the Enterprise holodecks are the reason Riker kept turning down other captaincies
>>214183843do you think any kind of website other than 4chan is a wiki? i don't need a wiki i knew you were wrong and I knew where to find the proof, which was, the literal transcribed episode. there's no wiki involved. I know the rest of ds9 too and if you could even say which character in which episode allegedly said that owning a holoprogram of a real person without their permission was illegal (something you cant do because that never happened, and because you haven't watched ds9) I'd link that episode script too so everyone can see you're a delusional faggot who's making shit up
>>214183578>>214183681AI is so fucking stupid, I looked up 'freighter captains star trek' a little while ago its response "there are no civilian captains in star trek heres a list of starfleet captains"
>>214183933>there are no civilian captains in star trekCivilian ones are called Skippers.
>>214183954they're still called captains
>>214183965And then he says to me:>they're still called captains
>>214183954>a freighter captain you want me to go on a date with a freighter captain?t. jake sisko imitating benjamin sisko
>>214183954also the guy who takes picard and wesley when wesley is going to the academy is called captain
>>214183979this is a star trek thread where we talk about star trek. you haven't watched it so you should probably fuck off
>>214184022I posted a pic from Voyager, Anon
We don't know if he wanted to arrest Quark because he illegally accessed the files or because making a holoprogram is illegal.
>>214184072he was going to arrest him for the thing he said was illegal the line before he says he's going to arrest him
>>214183761nu-trek didn't have an academy award winning makeup artist either and it shows, my god does it show
>>214183857I'd also turn down a promotion and ship if it meant giving up my personal gooncave.
>>214184031There'd be like at least three more Gilligans if that was true.
>>214184310he was offered the titan which is another galaxy class, I know I know stop being a buzz kill
>>214173353I met her irl at a convention in the early 2000s and that woman looks 20X better irl. It's like the camera hates her or something. In pictures and films she looks her worst and fatter.She was wearing this black little dress and she was fucking tight. Smelled great too. Perfect boobs with a nice cleavage. She also felt less fake than other cast members I saw over the years when singing autographs.Frakes is great on stage telling stories.Spiner is a funny asshole cunt. It's obvious that it's on purpose and people love it.Stewart... was okay back then. Always polite. But you could tell he wanted to be somewhere else.Gates isn't good in a live setting. Very awkward, not funny or charismatic, but nice anyway.Burton is fine, but you feel like he thinks he's better than Star Trek. He's the only cast member I got that feeling from. Not even Stewart was like that.Dorn is the funniest. Very self-deprecating and willing to make fun of himself and the show, but in a way that still feels like he loved every minute of it.
>>214184636>Burton is fine, but you feel like he thinks he's better than Star Trek. He's the only cast member I got that feeling from. Not even Stewart was like that.Roots and Reading Rainbow fame will do that to you. But don't take MY word for it.
>>214184956Tell me to fix the goddamn warp core one more fucking time!
>>214184636huh odd, but now that I think about it his appearance on community was all about reading rainbow I don't think they even mentioned star trek and abed is right there
>All Good Things... finished again
rewatching the voyager episode where they're stuck in a void and janeway decides to be a shitlib and start giving all of the ship's shit away on the hopes that she'll form an alliance with the randomers stuck there and tuvok and seven keep calling her retardedunfortunately the writers obviously forced janeway's method to work but it's still hilarious in retrospect
>>214184956Stewart famously fucking hated working on the show early on but he was/is a professional
>>214178618I always get Journey's End and Final Mission mixed up

Have you ever made a large prop or bought one? Yes, making your own replica bridge counts.
>>214184636They all know they could read a book on tax laws for an hour and the audience would eat it up. The TNG cast is that legendary. Once you start getting recognized in foreign countries, you know you’ve made it.

>>214185882why did they make the space gypsies so unlikeable
>>214186005Picard S03 has absolutely dogshit writing like the rest of the show yet I still really enjoyed it because they knew how to nostalgiabait hard, and it worked
>>214185931The SW guys did copy it and made a live action.
>>214185882Did they go back to the G-quad and got genocided by the Dubsminion?
In retrospect, why did Trek peak when it did? There was a time in the late 90s when there were 3 TV shows airing plus movies with the original cast being released all in a single year. Also there was a shitload of toys and books and stuffand then it just sort of fissiled out with ENT
>>214185929I love this batshit screengrab
>>214186043>gypsies are so unlikableftfy
>>214186083because nothing else like it existed, we or at least I grew up on TOS reruns and movies and then thing ds9 and voy happened and it was the best, just the best
>>214186033IIRC, Agent Smith in 'The Matrix' said that that late 20th century was the peak of humanity because the human brain was unable to comprehend anything better.
>>214173257I wonder if the person who made the meme was going with the literal 'I don't think about you at all.' answer that people who have never actually seen the scene think happens in Mad Men, or intended it to e the actual 'I do think about you.' I presume the former.
>>214185952>foreign alien youth run around stealing and causing fights>their lady leaders do not acknowledge this as a problem and continue to demand concessions'indeed>>214185978the bajorans and their paranoia and xenophobia after being occupied by cardassia was perfectly logical, it was a nice detail on their culture and how they weren't quite ready to join the federation its a shame they just handwaved it away over time to just let them join instead of showing bajor's growth>>214186078digits will confirm this fate, the dubsminion is thorough in it's justice
>>214186140Funny how that interpretation stated a few days ago and has spread like wildfire.
>>214186142they never joined anon
>>214186066I love TNG and it didn't work on me.
>>214186142common Vorta L.
>>214186066idk, they managed to make the shit plot points of s1&2 useful for s3. That's a fucking feat. And to make the characters make sense without invalidating the first 2 seasons.
>>214186122That was obviously a dig at Fukuyama's End of History and ideas like that, not based on whatever nostalgic reasons millennials have for idealizing the 90s.
>>214186142>the bajorans and their paranoia and xenophobia after being occupied by cardassia was perfectly logical,whatever you think of kai winn the fact is she was democratically elected through some sort of means and she was a complete psycho bajoran supremacist also remember when that guy brought back the caste system and they all blindly lapped it up? kira was willing to go along with it right up until some otherwise seemingly normal guy straight up murdered a lower caste member for no reasonthey are a truly deranged race and dukat was right
>>214186179oh thats righti forgot that sisko had an autistic outburst in middle of negotiations and ruined it allpeak ds9, that
>>214186222it was peak sisko
>>214186222BAJOR MUST STAND ALONE. IT WAS FORETOLLED BY BAHALALALA
>>214186221>Me on my way to get my third refill of kanar on a Kai declared holy day while my bajoran concubine watches helplessly.
>>214186083UPN was a mistake. It was everything Star Trek was not. It's quite an achievement by Berman that Star Trek didn't transform into something like Buffy. A transformation that Paramount ultimately achieved with nutrek. Still, on UPN Star Trek stagnated and always tried to replicate the success of mid TNG but they lacked the inspiration it had with submission scripts and the in-house writers had no idea how to come up with new genre-defining stories and formats.
>>214186221also kai winn was simultaneously bajoran pope AND the head of governmentliteral theocratic state, but sure, great candidates for the federation
>>214186222did they ever once point out that he was correct because if they had joined the federation at that time then they couldn't have signed the non-aggression pact with the dominion when they took DS9
>>214186293The Federation wanted total control over the wormhole and a staging ground 4 ly next to Cardassia. That's why.
>>214186347No, they had respect for the audience's intelligence
>>214186293acktully Winn was blocked from head of government and Shakaar became the leader, Kira blackmails Winn, its whole thing easy to forget because Shakaar more or less vanishes for most of the show but remains living rent free in odos head
>>214186347if you didn't get that then its your own fault for not paying attention
>>214186373>>214186347aaaAUGHA! AAAAUUUGHOOOOAAGHAAAAAAGH!
>>214186354Yes, it's actually very shady, they gave the bajorans so many passes just because it was strategically significant. Also there was clearly some sort of affirmative action thing going on at starfleet academy what with the hundreds of bajorans going through the system even though every one you see is a total spastic fuck up (Ro, Sito)
>>214186417forgot pic
>>214186447MR WORF, KILL EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD ON THAT FUCKING PLANET, RID THE UNIVERSE OF THE MAQUIS FILTH ONCE AND FOR ALL, HAIL STARFLEET
>>214186432>recruit locals into interplanetary organization>send those trained locals back to take over the government and infrastructure to push federation policiesah, it's the jesuit playbook in SPAAAACE
watching pathfinder my favorite recurring flashy light thingy shows upfriendly reminder it was also in airplane 2 for shatners scenes, based flashy red light thingy
>first episode after Caretaker>SPATIAL ANOMALLYOh boy wonder if they will do many of these kind of episodes? :^)
>>214186432how can you get through Starfeelt Academy believing that a wormhole isn't an explainable phenomenon but a magical realm created by your specific gods?
>>214186475Y-you can't do that! We're the M-Maquis and we still live there!Oh no he's gassed us!>Flees uninhabitable planet.
>>214186483I think it was invented for some unrelated 80s scifi movie. Can't remember which one.
>>214186526if there isn't a compilation of the flashy red light thingy throughout time and space and multiple shows and movies there should be, pretty sure it shows up in sg1 as well
having just done a rewatch of voyager, an observation is that a lot of the episodes revolve around someone perceiving something or infected with something or is in a supernatural/space magic situation and no-one else on the crew believes them and thinks they're crazythey did this a few times in TNG but in VOY it's like every other episode
>>214186483
>>214186490I'd bet they never educate cadets on the nutso space entities out there, but then once they're in starfleet they have to have a sit down special course on how dangerous and insane they are.>So other than the alien empires and hyperpowerful races we might encounter there's also giant space aliens with magic powers to worry about.>Yes there's a Q consortium made up of what might be gods who meddle with us for fun, if they show up dont play their games and act cranky.>Yes there's also like a dozen sentient entities who have captured our ships and experimented on us for fun.>Yes there's also like a dozen entities we can't even communicate with like the crystal entity>Oh and this planet is off limits because an alien who can wipe out whole races with a thought actually lost his wife and larps with her ghost in their old house and still lives there...>OH YES also your bajoran classmates weren't lying about their gods forming and controlling the wormhole but we're pretty sure they're just more omnipotent aliens.
>>214186573>Captain, Tom is blatantly out of his mind, he's spending all of his free time working on that ship that tried to kill me and he just assaulted me>Janeway:
>>214186674lol I just watched that yesterday, her reaction was hilarious
>>214186663remember the space fish that were doing body horror experiments on crew members in their sleep?you know starfleet keeps talking about how space is magical and wonderful but yeah they never point out having to come face to face with eldritch nightmares on a weekly basisIn fact, the audience never really sees the 'magic' of space either, 90% of the time it's just unimaginable horrors
>>214186621and the stupid cartoon gets it wrong, because of course it does, just have to edit that out and that is perfect
>>214186699sup pack led
>>214186810finish s6 yet? I'm on pathfinder
>>214186674Janeway doesn't care only that the coffee flows.
>>214186083Star Trek’s signature of optimism and moralfagging was really going out of style in the early 2000’s. People wanted grittier stories and a plot that kept you guessing. The fairy tales that TNG was known for were increasingly seen as quaint and childish. But now television is so serialized and takes so long to make, that people are craving episodic monster of the week shows again. >TNG/DS9/VOY: 8 year runs, almost 180 episodes each. Still remembered decades later.>Stranger Things: 9 year run, 42 episodes. Will be forgotten two months after the last season.
>>214177632Their society probably more or less indoctrinates people to want to move around the Federation and LARP as all these professions. They realized having hyper-ghettos, gene warriors, and AI overlords wasn't good for stability and force this sort of Utopian lifestyle through culture.Maybe it's been so long even the leaders have fallen for it, maybe AI actually is running the show but decided to keep to the original plan.that is my headcannon
>>214176256Buy more hard drives. I have over 35 TB of external hard drive space for backing up my downloads. Since they're paired up for redundancy, that's actually 70 TB of space, duplicated twice. Get with the program, anon.
>>214187111jesus you need help even the idea of people just wanting to be a part of life and participating confuses you
>>214186483Is Airplane 2 worth watching, or just a waste of time? I didn't know Shatner was in it.
>>214187001Stranger Things has already been forgotten
>>214187111Maybe the Federation whole purpose is to keep individuals in check by making them naturalist space farmers keen on tending their own little farms instead of having humans build competing megacorporations that build their own android or cyborg armies that war each other.
>>214187001How will future generations remember current Trek? inb4 they won't
>>214187253Isn't that the show with that 50yo hag that plays an 11yo?
>>214187270there is no current trek
>>214177501At best, it'd just be the TV show "Friends". At worst...>>214177632...it'd be block after block of brutalist apartment towers. Remember, one character described Earth as a place "where there's nothing to do except drink wine and hang out at vineyards and soul food restaurants".
>>214187270a very dated, misguided, badly written show with zero joie de vivre
>>214187270Maybe how Knight Rider fans remember the various revival shows, or how Magnum fans remember the new Magnum?
>>214178493The STTNG episode "Future Imperfect" ends with someone like that being revealed.
>>214187326literally Kafka-esque.
>>214187243well its no airplane 1 but it has its momentshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBRZSD3RgKI>I guess Irony can be pretty Ironic sometimes.>oh cut the bleeding heart crap we all have blinking beeping and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing, and BLINKING AND BEEPING AND FLASHING I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!
>>214184636My brother met Sirtis at a con in the 2010s and she kept talking to him for close to an hour dropping clues she'd fuck him that he could not piece together but he also had one of his kids with him
>>214187291>one character described Earth as a place...no I don't remember that neither does anyone else because that never happened, now go ahead and spam your maxisim crap and get it over with you faggot
>>214187291That line was from Star Trek: Velma which doesn't count.
This guy is so pathetic lol>I don't watch star trek PLEASE LISTEN TO ME
>>214183761nuTrek had Jeffrey Combs
Insaneway had such promise when she was geeking out about science stuff.
>>214185278nice. i kek'd
