>Hey Dixon Hill, you looking to claw my eye out? Or are you just happy to see me?
>>214726401What about counselors?
In retrospect, Move Along Home is a decent episode, I think people just get really hung up on the goofy hopscotch part
i can't accept any dream crew that doesn't include Major Kira
>>214726750
>>214726769It's passable for us here, now, where we can burn through it and immediately move on, but the hate was warranted when it first aired, waiting an entire week just to watch the bridge crew dick around in jumanji for an hour was fucking brutal.
>>214726084One thing I dislike about TOS being a family show is we never got to hear McCoy drop an F bomb.>Hey Bones, come over and save this rock alien bleeding out on the ground>Jim what the fuck
>>214726750M'Ress, with two clones.
>>214726669McCoy would treat him like a second class citizen (based) and the EMH would treat him like a butcher (cringe)>>214726749How would one attach a metal nose?>>214726769>I think people just get really hung up on the goofy hopscotch partand Siddig al fahir al faisal al lebubu al skibidi al fatwah al kingdom of heaven al dubai's horrendous acting

>>214726750Guinan will be ship counselor.Troi will be the ship’s living realdoll/space occupier.>>214726796Just use the holodeck, Dukat.
>>214726839Why did TNG onward not have yeomen?
>>214726769it's also a pointless nothingburger ending on par wirh "it was all a dream"
>>214726890But he does. He said "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?", intentionally to get past the censors.
>>214726932replicators
>>214726932Why is she so huge? Not that I'm complaining
>>214726769It’s a fun breather episode you could only get away with in the first season. Even if the script was clearly TNG leftover scraps. I bet the original script had the aliens make first contact on the Enterprise. Quark’s part would have gone to Picard. The group trapped in the game would have been Riker, Worf, Data/Wesley, and Beverly. >>214726895I read on MA Siddig was given the script at the last minute and Brooks hated the whole thing.
>>214726890Watch his 60s movies "The Intruder", there he drops both the F and the N word
Star Trek needs more rape.
Star Trek needs more Christina Hendricks
>>214726945It’s season 1, it establishes the characters and furthers their development. I watched it a week or two ago and off the top of my head:>Odo asserts his authority as head of station security over the federation guy they just kinda dump on him and who eventually just disappears>Julian is established as smart but not “worldly”>Dax is established as smart and “worldly” (attempted)>reinforcement of Ben as a caring father and a hothead (different scenes)>reinforcement of Kira being a person of good character in the game >Quark established as a cheating scumbag with a heart of latinum who somehow eventually just skates over the whole thing without reprisalAnd so on and so forth. It’s ok
>>214726929>Guinan Ew. Neelix would be better than her.
alright, watching the Royale.
>>214727169Was it the same actor in Picard S2 when they did this? That might have been the only funny thing. Seven tells him to turn off the noise and hes terrified and turns it off immediately. I want to believe it's the same character. Literally the only memorable moment from Picard S1 and S2
>>214727076Why did Gene do it?
>>214727212One of the best episodes of all of TNG
>>214726954And Ent? What of them?
>>214727220It was, even though it makes no sense as why it would be other than as a memberberry
>>214727212I’m starting my new friend on TNG with The Royale next week. We’ll both be stoned as shit. I hope it converts him to Trekism.
>>214727281>>214727220>He was also the one singing the song playing on the BoomBox, was an associate producer of Star Trek IV, was the voice of the Vulcan Computer in Star Trek IV, and worked at Industrial Light & Magic, as a prop creator creating props for several previous Trek movies. Kevin Feige (Picard Spiderman Homecoming Producer) was a big fan of Star Trek IV and offered him the opportunity to "reprise" his role in Spiderman Homecoming.
>>214727281He's just been riding buses in california listening to punk rock for 40 years or so. Not saying it was good or made sense, but compared to the rest of Picard I was happy to see a lighthearted moment
>>214727328Fascinating.
>>214727275uhhh ship too small
>>214727293I really like the Hotel Manager actor, forget his name. He was Rose's husband on Lost, and also a super evil lawyer for Wolfram and Hart on Angel. He's very versatile.
>>214727406The Star Trek to Lost pipeline is REAL.
>>214727395It still seems a little odd to me that Ent had a dedicated chef on board. Was he also a Starfleet officer of some kind, or just some rando chef they found who was down for the gig? Weird
>>214727471maybe he was also the yeoman, or we never saw him, or the rank wasn't in use yet due to ship storage being small enough that different department heads were in charge or their own stuff
>>214727471the navy has chefs.
>>214727461Remember that time that John Locke trashed Captain Kirk because he got his men killed, then he got Boone killed. Symmetry or something. Lost is so fucking good nobody better say nothing bad about Lost. Wookie prisoner maneuver was great too. Didn't even mind seeing Mac on Lost getting head butted by Sawyer. I can't think of many other actors who were on both shows though. I knew Terry OQuinn for confusingly playing multiple roles on X-Files before I'd seen Lost
>>214727471>>214727567Yes there is an mos for chef https://www.navy.com/careers-benefits/careers/business-logistics-administration/culinary-specialist
>>214727471The Star Trek future is so enlightened that some cat lizard thing is touching everyone’s food and they all roll along with it.
>>214727581Same anon: clarification: I grew up watching X-Files reruns out of order on TNT before I'd seen it at all in order. Terry OQuinn played a metallic supersoldier guy who got sucked into a rock as well as playing some kind of FBI guy before that. Also if we crossover to Millennium, he played another character in the same universe, that guy from the Millennium Group. He's also super versatile. Loved his Man in Black in the later seasons of Lost. Super intense.
>>214727662Okay I'm done sperging out. Resume normal duties.
>grandpa, what did you do during the Dominion War? What do you answer?
>>214727581Like everyone else, I thought LOST was cool at the time, then I went back and watched it again and realized it was the genesis of JJ's mystery box slop that normies would eat right up, which paved the way for the rest of JJ's empire of crap.
>>214727822>"I made chandeliers, timmy">point at the one hanging from the ceiling>hundreds of little glass tubes stained with a familiar white residue illuminate the room
>>214727822>I supplied faulty Cloaking Devices to the Federation and Fed inaccurate information to the Dominiont. Romulan
>>214727827LOST started the trend of “Throw out weird puzzles and foreshadowing now. Worry about what it all means in 5 years”. That’s why I love the self contained mysteries of the TNG era.
>>214727822scalping spoonheads
>>214727827Perhaps, but Lost was helmed pretty much by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. I'm convinced Carlton Cuse was the reason that Lost managed to remain satisfying. I rewatched it a few years ago and it was actually better than I remembered. We know Damon Lindelof can go off the rails, so the secret ingredient must be Carlton Cuse. I offer as secondary evidence of this: Carlton Cuse was show runner on The Strain and that show managed to stay satisfying and dramatic and on-the-rails all the way through. Creepily predictive of Covid as well. JJ Abrams really didn't have a lot to do with day to day Lost. One of the only podcasts I ever listened to was the weekly Cuse/Lindelof podcast, and Carlton Cuse clearly had a clear confidence that he wasn't just stringing people along. Which on rewatch, they definitely were not stringing people along. The last 3 seasons are relentlessly dramatic. Usually I hate rewatching things, but Lost is the exception. This is all I have to say on the subject. >tl;dr Lost rules, also watch The Strain if you never have. It's like a horror mystery action show. Worth it for the Ratcatcher character alone. Lots of memorable characters really. Seriously: The Strain. And don't believe the Haters, Lost rules.
Beat Elite Force the other night, Holy fuck that last boss is a damage sponge.
>>214727822I made a killing off of sourcing authentic Gamma Quadrant lizardskin.
The great TNG and DS9 /trek/ Watchalong continues tonight with two pretty good episodes.honestly it's a good line up from top to bottom tonight
>that was Quark>the shiny announcement box guy
I forgot about that talking face box
>>214728285The only real negative about either game is the combat can be a slog, especially certain parts of the first game like the infinitely spawning moth things.
>the only face box I respect
>>214727822I banged so many Caitians and Ferasans, grandson. None were as stimulating as your grandmother though, you have her ear fur. Let's watch the first time her and I mated together, go get the popcorn, I'll pour us shots of Aldebaran whisky.
I just watched Indescrecion where Dukat is trying to get his dick wet, but Instead Kira pulls a thing out of his flat grey ass and then they recast Ziyal twice. I had way too much Shiraz fyi.>https://youtu.be/GO3HkhyqgJ0?si=EPbgNY6SEB2qpss0
>>214727581>I knew Terry OQuinn for confusingly playing multiple roles on X-Files before I'd seen LostAnd oddly enough he only showed up on shitty episodes, other recurring actors got lucky and showed up in the memorable ones
>>214729062for some reason like the sequel episode Return to Grace way better. i guess because the first time I watched DS9 I shipped them and it was never sailing higher than in that episode
>>214729113>That Asian guy who played different scientists in 3 episodes and got gruesome over the top deaths in 2 of them
>>214726890Gosh if only we had hours of his voice on tape and the ability to create whatever we want him to say with technology.
Which captain would you want to have officiate your marriage? I think I'd pick Sisko
>>214729183Nana was so against KiraxDukat.
>>214729062>Shirazswitch to priorat or garnacha
>>214729494Chekov. Seems like a cool, down to earth Captain. Plus, temporal agent.
>>214729494This guy.
>>214729518Kira's character is so morally inconsistent that it would actually make sense for her to fuck Dukat.>hates collaborators to the point of wishing them dead>gives Odo a pass for no reason
>>214729559I 100% will if I can find a bottle for around $15.
HELP
>>214729113My headcanon is that the FBI agent O'Quinn played in the X Files movie (he let the building explode to destroy evidence of ayys) is the same as the super soldier he plays in later seasons. He just regenerated his body after the explosion.
>>214729518and she was right for that. just because something would be insanely hot doesn't mean you should do it. we have fanfic for that.
>>214729712Also imagine being Alexander Siddig and watching Marc Alimo flirt with your wife on set.
>>214729737I mean I'm sure he did.
>>214729753Imagine being Nana Visitor and watching a dude on set flirt with your husband tho.
This is your 10 minutes notice my nonnies
I know this episode is shit but the lack of participation in the TNG portion of the walkthrough bums me out, brother.

>>214729944TNG is just not as fun honestly. The watchalong was started for DS9 and people wanting to see it together the TNG thing is just kind of...coincidence. You should be the change you wish to see
>>214729062Something about Ziyal 2's jawline makes me rock hard.
I played Star Trek Resurgence(demo) and wow what a breath of fresh air Dialogue written for adults
>>214729944I'm sorry you can't get anyone excited about s1 of TNG
>>214729806She was probably too busy dealing with the gangrape flashbacks
>>214730083Watching the bad episodes of DS9 is fun, watching the bad episodes of TNG is fun too.Anyway, it is what it is. At least I started something a few people in the thread seem to enjoy for the DS9 portion.
>>214730030>TNG is just not as funhe says, when The Big Goodbye is up next
Bashir has no friends so he has to pretend with the only person more of a friendless loser on the station than he is.
>>214730275It's tough getting bitches when you live on the same station as Morn.
>>214730294Also Captain Bodet and his transparent skull, that guy is crushing puss regularly
>Garak is an angry sloppy drunkit fits
>>214730127I disagree. The character writing in early DS9 is fun, the writing in early TNG is bizarre and off-putting This is evident in first viewing but more so emplified on repeat viewings
>>214726084I prefer S1-2 TNG to the rest of the series. *Crosses arms*
>>214730127Don't worry, people will start to get involved when season 2 rolls around. Much like real life
>>214729593>>214729690Who the hell wanted to see that shit?
I love how DS9fags have gotten so uppity after years of being handled with kid gloves that now they're going after TNG. lol. lmao.
>>214730417Eh, it's season 1 of TNG, it's not a big deal. It's definitely not something everyone loves.
>>214730417>Calling season 1 of TNG bad is going after TNG
>>214730416I did, but I resent that it came from that retard.
>>214730516No one even said it's bad. He said no one is excited to watch it
>>214730463>>214730516Don't throw stones in the glass house that is DS9 season 1.
>>214730563Either way, they fly by. We got to S2 of DS9 so quick, it was basically... "In the Blink of an Eye."Heh, that's a Voyager reference. No big deal.

>>214730748can it spoonhead
>>214730786the way he reacted to hearing Cardies be called spoonheads made it seem like he had never heard it before. it was cute.
Okay. I dont like voyagerz its too preachy. I dont like ds9 because Im racist. What trek should I watch?
>>214730845ENT
>>214730899Is that the one with the big nose captain? I meant that ones too preachy>you cant hunt those animals...theyre intelligent life formarinos!
I want you to kill yourself for attempting bait this weak
>>214730845>VOY is too "preachy"kek
>>214729402that would be extremely disrespectful to the man's memory. let him rest jeet faggot
to be honest I had forgotten all about this episode. I'm feeling that it's a bit cringe desu
>>214731005>he doesn't remember the "Especially the lies, doctor" episodePleb
>>214730989I meant ENT. Ill give Voy a shot.
>>214730825
>>214731024sorry I'm just not as impressed with Garak as it seems most people are
>>214730683shut up BF
>>214731041*slaps this onto your post*
>>214731102no you can't do this to me!
Do you guys name your episodes or just keep the numerical value? Me, I name episodes I like.

>>214730845Voyager is probably the least preachy Star Trek in existence. It portrays both sides of conflicts to the point of almost seeming racist at times.
>>214731033I always look for this clip on youtube and I'm always disappointed that it doesn't exist
>>214731301I meant ent. I never saw voyager. I saw like 20 episodes of Ent and it was condescending to the audience way too often.

It's interesting to note that according to official Star Trek canon, James T. Kirk is the ancestor of one Charles James Kirk, a free speech activist who was assassinated in the early 21st century. James T. Kirk was named in his honor. I never realized that before but apparently that's official. That clears a lot up, actually. It explains why Captain Kirk took such an interest in helping Charlie X, who was a very lost young man. Maybe he felt that by trying to help guide this young confused boy, he would be honoring his ancestor who was known for helping lost young men throughout the world.
>>214731827
>>214731827*descendant, not ancestor, obviously
>>214726199She always reminds me of Melania Trump

>>214731946She does show her boobs in the 2005 movie "Slow Burn" and some obscure miniseries called "Diamond Hunters"
>>214731827Makes sense. Charlie X did seem to have a problem with free speech.
>>214731777>>214731806uhhhthe one with tripsthen cut the 2nd one to get rid of the part where lore says "show me ur warrior fierceness" so it starts with worf smacking him and then jobbing to one punch. when lore hits worf a 2nd time, end it as soon as worf hits the wall. no frames where he starts sliding down

>>214732323>>214732359why do you guys like star trek, its basically the antithesis of your beliefs
>>214732415kek. I agree. Lore sucks.
>watch nutrek>then watch TOSWhy does TOS break canon constantly?
>>214732435Gene was based.I'm sorry you're a secondary grifter.
Wow so season 3 Picard Beverley Crusher said nobody has seen or heard from the Borg in 10 years. Picard didn't flinch. Pretty funny desu that they just decided to pretend season 2 didn't even happen. I guess Rios never got to live happily ever after with latina doctor kek. Juradi never existed either apparently or something. Wow. So I would say to any other viewers that since season 3 decided season 2 isn't canon future viewers can totally skip seasons 1 and 2. Even though Adam Soong appears in season 3 talking about golems and stuff. What a fucking mess.
>>214732480This is like when people say the prequels create plotholes in the original trilogy of SW. No, just erase those crap ass movies and leave the originals alone. To me whatever the Jedi did in the prequels isn't canon at all.
>>214732047Exactly! You get it. Charlie X was a little tyrant, just like the liberals who Charlie Kirk tried to bring to reason.James T Kirk saw this and wanted to help Charlie X, just like his heroic historic ancestor Charles James Kirk did. The name Charlie helped evoke this memory in Captain Kirk and he knew what he had to do to help him.
>>214732276Pussy ass shooter should've challenged him to a duel like in the old days
>>214726750Tuvix
>>214732435In what way? There are tons of episodes where weapons are used in self defense and none that paint assasinations as good.
>>214732435That's been debunked many times. Star Trek is conservative coded.
I'm gonna watch Shadows of P'Jem
Really Picard season 3? The Borg? Again?Sigh.
>>214732693This.
>>214732698They do mention individual freedom quite a bit when discussing their core philosophy. The Borg are the ultimate leftist collective.
>>214732435>military-style hierarchy>personal responsibility emphasized>duty and honor>adherence to non interference/conservative rules like the Prime Directive>merit-based advancement>self-reliance>moral clarity>pragmatic leadership>racial blindness>uhura laughing at the very idea of being offended by the N wordya bro totally a libtard show lmao are you even paying attention
>>214732782Sorry chud, right wingers dont believe in free healthcare!
>>214732782Forgot to mention:>Real actual hard science not phony social science shitlib nonsense.
oh yeah now I remember how they totally fucked up the lore about Coridan.
>>214732766yepthe leftists always point to the retcon of the "moneyless society" from 80s trekbut even that can only comeabout when resources become unlimitedergo the creators realize its not practical in reality where resources are limitedlibs never think beyond the superficial
>>214732798These movies do love it when a woman gets blown-out into space.Borderline Guro.
>>214732804oh theres a ton more examples, i just didnt want to spend all night on itlike i said, the idea that star trek is a liberal coded show has been massively debunked. the libs just dont know since they rarely leave their echo chamber and never listen to dissenting opinions. which is why they never can comprehend arguments against them but we always know everything they are going to say before they say it
We're heading for MegaCities not the Stars.Thanks Obama.
Why did they add this scene?
>>214732163In the DVD extras for this series they said that they wanted to do more magic episodes for the original show, but the budget was too low to pull it off, they also wanted to use God in that episode but the network told them they were only allowed to use Satan
>>214732867>they wanted to do more magic episodes for the original show,lmao no way
>>214732817To me it's basically a society where the invisible hand has turned every single citizen of Earth into a billionaire. It's the ultimate triumph of unfettered capitalism, absolute resource saturation. They don't even prevent someone like Vosh from becoming a profit-driven archaeologist. They're confused by it because everyone is functionally a billionaire, but they don't stop her. They respect her freedom.
>>214732853This came out in 2013 the last normal year.
>>214732904They even showed it in the trailer
man even though I basically just finished watching it I forgot how frustrating this show is
>>214732900It’s like the ultimate “free market” sandbox, but one where the market’s usual pressures are irrelevant because scarcity is gone.Libtards try to paint this as "see socialism works" because they ignore the fundamental facts of the situation and they conveniently leave out that it was all brought about by the advances of capitalism.
Wow Nemesis was fucked from the start...
>>214733027Patrick Stewart demanding to drive the dune buggy like a petulant child certainly didn't help.
>>214733063TV Picard: Thoughfully sips tea while reading a book.Movie Picard: RAaagh more daaka!
Picard literally cucked this dude.
>>214733063they should have killed him (patrick stewart) after AGT, literally everything he has done since then has been an effort to sabataj the franchise
this episode is making me mad if Shran wasn't in it I would turn it off
>>214733154https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkOubBr65s8
>>214732900>everyone is functionally a billionaireIs that why most people live in tiny colonies on dusty planets, being terrorised by energy beings and living rocks?
>>214733132Wisdom is realising that Patrick Stewart is an actual selfish idiot, and that William Shatner had far more respect for the franchise when he made Final Frontier
>>214733132I think First contacts works well enough as a trauma dump episode for the borg. Its mostly hokey action/drama slop, but I think its fun action/drama slop. Though it should take place like a few episodes after, Picard holding on to thoughtless rage years and years later seems a bit much.

>>214733374and dont forget captain kirk's swanky apartment overlooking the san francisco bayevidence that starfleet officers get preferential treatment, similar to starship troopers
>>214733374There isnt enough space for everyone to live on earth. Expansion has to happen.
Feels weird when you realize that Star Trek was a reliable summer tentpole movie franchise all through the 1980s. How far things have fallen.
>>214732435Star Trek is neither modern conservatism nor modern liberalism.
>>214733355Yeah man me and the boys love working in the mine on Janus VI. Some of us were killed by the horrible creature but that just adds to the excitement.
>>214733339agreed V is great and has some of the best emotional beats of all of the movies, especially between kirk spock and mccoy
>>214733407I love that The Friday the 13th films funded the Trek films and Paramount was embarrassed by this.
Federation planets are by default fascist (that's a good thing)
>>214733404Advanced technology would bring water to all earths deserts. There would also be floating cities. There's more than enough room. Most of the earth is empty today.
Lmao
>>214733418>using an example from TOS as evidence in an argument about retconned TNG era economicsits like you arent aware of anything
>>214733404>>214733467Also I once calculated that the Dyson Sphere they found on TNG could easily hold like trillions of people.
>>214733355>federation citizens only did that by choice>>214733404>There isnt enough space for everyone to live on earthThe mental gymnastics of the federation stooge
>>214733503Okay. You go live in a dyson sphere and mega city. I want fresh air and small towns and mountains.
>>214733517It's obviously more than one anon, anon
>>214733517>quoting different peoplefirst time on 4chan i take it?
>I'm sorry your parents were killed by the Crystalline Entity >But at least they died doing what they loved - thrillseeking
MACOs or Hazard Team?
>>214733535haha yea that never happenshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_submersible_implosion
>>214733520Youve obviously never seen the show. A Dyson Sphere has every conceivable living situation. More than enough fresh air and mountains for everyone. Do you even know how big a Dyson Sphere is? Fuck this I'm not debating with a retard. You probably think Coruscant is feasable
>>214733525Yeah I'm the bottom guy, I disagree with the top guys interpretation. Not everyone is a wealthy. There is a need for resources and space is limited so man has to expand and build up new land.
>>214733558Dont worry, anon, it's obvious you were right. He is an idiot.
>>214733535But they DID die doing what they loved. That biddy was about to fuck Riker just for funsies.
How do I picardomax
>>214733566>the bottom guywe dont need to hear about your sex life we want to talk about star trek
do Andorians find it rude if you stare at their adorable wiggly antennae when they're talking to you?
I don't feel like arguing but as a Trek fan just go see how big a Dyson Sphere would be. It's literally insane that we never heard about the Federation going back there. Its basically unlimited living space for thousands of years.
>>214733631The Dyson Sphere introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics" was revisited in the novel Dyson Sphere, published in April 1999. In this story, the USS Enterprise returns to the sphere for a planned six-month exploration. However, their mission is abruptly interrupted when an unknown force launches a neutron star on a collision course with the sphere, threatening its destruction. The novel delves into the mysteries of the sphere's origin and its implications for the Federation.
>>214733631Looking inwards, never seeing the stars, only the eternal day of the sun fixed directly overhead It's perfect hell
>>214733673I will admit that that doesn't sound pleasant. Maybe the builders came up with some kind of day/night system. Although if there was night on one half and the sun was blocked, the cities on the other side of the sphere might look like stars? Not really sure
>>214733673>acting like they couldnt look out the 40 foot thick transparenr aluminum on the observarion decks or take a shuttle outside or do any number of things that a reasonably creative writer could easily think of with the slightest bit of brain power
>>214733673A dyson sphere is literally just building a shell around your entire star system to catch solar energy. Yes it's that retarded.
>>214733339>>214733292Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain, why is he climbing a mountain?
>>214733726And Im supposed to want to live in this? Liberals love their pods
>>214733673>>214733707The day/night cycles of planets wouldn't be affected in any way. I'm embarrassed to be associating with you.
>>214733726It's an interesting thought experiment and a level of engineering that I frankly find inspiring. Imagine the culture that succeeded in building it. They would make the federation look like cave men.
Space Colonies when?
>>214733756if they were that advanced they would have realized what a retarded idea it is and never actually do it.
>>214733762M-Class planets are too plentiful in Star Trek.
>>214733751They weren't living on the planet they were shown as living on the inner shell of the sphere and the inner shell of the sphere would always face the sun. Dipshit.
>>214733756Honestly I think it's retarded and if a culture had the engineering means to do something of that scale and that's what they decided to do then they would be super science downies because it's a fucking dumb idea.
>>214733582Be bald and snippy.
>>214733751There were no planets. They'd all been dismantled for the sphere. When the enterprise flew inside, you could see all the artificial continents on the inner surface. The sphere wasn't a power collector - it was living space.
>>214733373thats what I said.
>>214733772Would have should have. In the show they DID build it and it's an unbelievable feat.
>>214733772>>214733786There's a difference between thinking it's a good use of time and materials, and thinking it's a cool use of time and materials. If you've got enough time on your hands to make a Dyson sphere, why not just to say you did or could?
>>214733726>>214733751>>214733756As Dyson conceived it, it was more of a ring; which is how it's portrated as Habitats in the Iain M. Banks Culture novels.
>>214733793Technically it would've been both a power collector and living space. But in a society that advanced they would never need to rely on solar power.
Reminder that Freeman Dyson didn't describe the Dyson Sphere as a solid shell but rather just a bunch of artificial objects in orbit around a star to harvest its energy. Basically just a bunch of orbital colonies.
>>214733824Isn't Culture the series with the sentient spaceships that banish one of their spaceship brethren because it enjoys the pleasure of humans inside it too much?
>>214733821>If you've got enough time on your hands to make a Dyson sphere, why not just to say you did or could?You'd need Kardashev I to make a Dyson Sphere, but if you had Kardashev I, you should use it to work toward Kardashev II
>>214733821Because it's not cool. It's dumb
You couldn't walk on the inner surface of a Dyson Sphere. The gravity you feel inside an object is due only to the matter closer to the centre of mass than you are - in this case the star. The attraction of the external shell exactly cancels itself out. This is a basic result in gravitational mechanics, a consequence of Euler's Divergence Theorem.
>>214733859t. non-dyson sphere haver
>>214733837Yes true. It was meant to be continuous habitable living space absorbing power from the star
>>214733853Maybe it's the science fair project of a Kardeshev II child.
>>214733863>The gravity you feel inside an object is due only to the matter closer to the centre of mass than you are - in this case the star.Inverse square rule matters. A substantialy smaller amount of mass that is closer (e.g., under your feet) can anchor you while the larger, but farther away mass (star) pulls in the other direction. Dyson Spheres are big. The star is far from you.
We're way off on a tangent. The Dyson Sphere in TNG DOES exist and could easily support an almost limitless amount of people. The surface area is stupidly massive. Imagine that the humongous distance from the Earth to the sun was just a single radius. Then calculate the surface area of the sphere. Then compare that to the surface area of an average M-Class planet. It's like finding an entirely new Quadrants worth of livable space. The fact that they basically shrug it off is proof that they're all essentially just billionaires jaunting around for fun.
>>214733863If the federation has artificial gravity, then Dyson Sphere builders had it 100,000 years before they built a Dyson Sphere.
>>214733904>A substantialy smaller amount of mass that is closer (e.g., under your feet) can anchor you while the larger, but farther away mass (star) pulls in the other direction.Doesn't work that way. Inverse square is true, but the greater amount of mass far from you exactly cancels the mass close to you. The gravity at all points inside a hollow shell is exactly zero. The star will be the only attractive location
>>214733932Artificial gravity. It was an engineered structure.
>>214733907I think at the end of the episode they said they were sending an entire science-specced flotilla to start work on it. The flagship isn't designed or sent out to long term research missions, it's role falls squarely into diplomacy and show of force.
>>214733959What is a flotilla?
the only way making a Dyson sphere wouldn't be a totally retarded endeavor is if you were someone friends with a Q and he blinked it into existence for you
>>214734018It's just a way to show off to fellow space travelling billionaires. It's like building your own island. Sure that might be a retarded use of resources, but you're just flexing and showing that you were the GOAT society. People still marvel at the pyramids and it took us thousands of years to build anything taller. The pyramids were a retarded use of resources but they still built them. Retarded and genius sometimes coexist.
Anyway I am moving on from the Dyson Sphere question. I think they're cool as fuck and nobody changed my mind on that.
>>214733932>The gravity at all points inside a hollow shell is exactly zeroSorry, mistated that. It's more complicated. But the statement is correct for the inner surface of a shell of uniform thickness
>>214734001Like a flotello but smaller and more graceful
>>214734082they are dont let retards in /trek/ convince you otherwise
>>214734060nobody is going to be impressed by that primitive mindset in the 24th century. all they are going to see is how much of a waste of resources it is and wonder about the mentally retarded insecure person that insisted it be built
came back after a half hour to see there were no (Yous) awaiting methank you for your concessions
Raffi is the worst fucking actress.
>>214734204Holy shit stfu tranny
How come the DS9 Lwaxana episode is the only good Lwaxana episode
>>214734268which one?
>>214734268Cost of Living is great.
I'm glad they threw in a Majel Barrett Computer Voice nod in Picard 310. Overall the season is like a 5/10 which is really high for nuTrek.
New>>214734453>>214734453>>214734453
>>214733863wouldn't the spin of the sphere keep you planted on the inside because of centrifugal force, or am I misunderstanding how that works
>>214733027US marshalls is great fuck you
