alright guys, watching TNG S3E2; "Ensigns of Command". Wish me luck.
>>215134442Not bad on your first watchthrough, but I skip this one a lot on repeats now.
Are we in agreement?
that feel when you skub out during the episode intro and you gotta rewind see what this about.
>>215134552Neelix should be S tier.
>>215134552Trade Chakotay with Tom>muh space amerindians>muh maquis >muh "let my character take 7 of 9's virginity or I leave the show. Fuck the Janeway x Chakotay ship"
>>215134078
>>215135023fact: Kor is the best Klingon there ever was. there's a lot of that in TOS. the first to do it is still the best to do it.
tv used to be good and fun and stuff
>>215135023>Kino>Good, Marc Alaimo sighting>One of the worst, preachy two parters in all of trek>Goodbye ethics and morals>Kino
>>215134078You want me to hold the chicken?
Man wtf is with season 4 of Discovery? Does everyone have to have some gay tragic sob story? It's starting to grate me.
yum eeeee
>>215135826>It's been a quarter century since either franchise was good
>>215135058Based fellow John Colicos enjoyer. He was pure kino as Baltar too
>>215134557skub sucks
>>215134552I would move B'ellana up a bit though you're pretty close.
>>215135023Organia episode is super based
>>215136869I ate their vegan almond milk ice cream and it was very good.
>>215136501Starting to grate you? STARTING TO? You're made of steelier stuff than I am. I finished season 4 and it was gay as shit but now I'm halfway through season 5 and I fucking hate Mollenlock. Mostly the woman though. It's like in seasons 4 and 5 they knew they had a giant Michelle Yeoh sized hole to fill. As bad and stupid as her character was, she had the most charisma on the cast.
>>215136501Millennial writers mistake trauma dumping for good character writing. We were rolling our eyes at it 40 years ago when Tasha kept bringing up the rape gangs.
>>215135023I like the hillbilly singer in that TNG episode. He should have stuck around and been buddies with Data.
Speculating that TV would die out about 50 years in the future of when this episode was produced was a pretty reasonable guess... but turns out it's still clinging on to life
>>215137231Broadcast TV and radio will definitely be dead in 50 years. Once millennials and zoomers get in power, we’re gutting all this antiquated boomer technology.
>>215137329Kek as if zoomers are smart enough to do anything productive. These things will exist as long as big pharma is allowed to continue funding it through constant advertising
>Woman bawling her eyes out>Troi: I sense you are feeling immense sadnesswoah...so this is the power of betazoid telepathy...
>>215135023>The Neutral ZoneI like Picard's absolute disdain for the unfrozen people. He treats like them like absolute cavemen befouling his ship.
>>215137329broadcast tv has has had a resurgence in popularity for a while now. antennas are $10 and there is a fair amount of good channels with older content. pair with a streaming service or pirate box and you're set
>>21513732950 years from now sure maybe, but TNG estimated only about 15 years from present
>>215137483It's an example that should've been shown to writers of Picard as to why Picard didn't "love" Data. He definitely blamed Data for being the cave people on board.
>>215137483The worst thing is that 2020s society is even dumber than the time period where the humans were frozen. The modern version of that episode would be a broccoli head asking what the ship’s WiFi password is so he could check his crypto wallet.
>>215137606>this martini is bussin fr fr
2024!
Bioshock Dax from this 2 parter is by far her best look.
Was this the first Borg episode?
>>215138021kys
I miss kino character actors like that guard in this episode that was also Billy's neighbor in Gremlins.
Sisko is a GIBMEDATS
so how do they know they're not in a causal loop where them being there at that time and attempting to interfere caused the Bell riots to take place the way they did and by doing nothing they'd actually be altering the timeline?
>>215135826looks gay
>>215138207he's in a lot of stuff, or was. the guest spots used to be a highlight to watch for
>>215138260Because Sisko is just a wildcard and won't sit around and do nothing ever.
>>215138172You seem awfully comfortable with discussing suicide. Projection, maybe? I have no desire to kms. I would miss all of you too much!
Which are you, /trek/? A gimme or a dim?
William Shatner did not generally get along with his Star Trek co-stars, with many finding him difficult to work with due to his ego and tendency to "pull focus". While he and Leonard Nimoy were at times at odds, they were also sometimes seen as friends. DeForest Kelley was a good friend of Shatner. However, actors like George Takei and Nichelle Nichols have openly criticized Shatner for years, with Takei calling him a "prima donna".
>>215138426As one of the protected Peoples of the Book, I am a dimme
>>215138267shut up welshy
>>215136793holy shit I watched the og battlestar as a kid it never clicked for me its the same actor
Okay so the Defiant is shielded from timeline effects, sure I'll buy it. But why, when Sisko and Bashir changed the timeline, did they only notice the effects hours or days after their beamout, and not immediately? That makes no sense
>>215135023for the love of god janeway even 20th century primitives had the Geneva Convention
>>215138676because time travel stories never make sense unless you allow for a bit of 'time' lol between cause and effect
Jeri Ryan is in Against the Wild 2: Survive the Serengeti
>>215137577Vance might win one term, but not two; after eight years voters get tired of the incumbent’s party and vote in the other side. His only asset is that 2030 reapportionment will be really good for Republicans.
>>215138886she is also in dracula 2000 as one of his 3 brides
>>215138454His ego is his lifeforce.
>>215138931I don't think people will get tired of winning. Also, the Democrats may not even be a party much longer. Their constituents appear to be illegal immigrants, convicted criminals, and domestic terrorists. It's kind of baffling.
chakotay should've taken control of voyager and airlocked janeway
theres no time..except to make this speech
>>215135023That ENT episode is nice little piece space horror. I like that the repair station is never explained, it just is.
>>215134078Lol at the pic. I'm only a fan of ToS so I'm out
>>215135023fucking amazing lineup
>>215137483It had more to do with the fact that this whole thing was sprung on him at the last minute right before a diplomatic meeting of galactic importance.
>>215140821the lineups have been max comfy lately. we get some dry spells but lately its been good. tomorrow is ok too
>>215137483>Capitalist saves dumb space commiesUhh I'm thinking based
>>215134552there is only Janeway.
>>215137577we already are in Star Trek
>'Tell Keiko, I love her'.The clone replicant Manchurien-canddate Miles had a SOUL. If I directed that 'sode. I would've held that shot of his dead body. for like five whole minutes. Slowly panning out. And orchestral music building into a blaring swirl.
>>215134552Tom haters love DISCO.
>>215142748Shut that cunt's mouth before I fuckstart her head
I just watched In the Pale Moonlight 13 times in a row, and this is not a joke. AMA.
>>215141628I love the Bell Riots two-parter so much.
>>215134078After finishing the next generation, do you guys recommend watching deep space nine even if I haven't seen the original series? Or is the original a pre-requisite?
>>215143604Honestly, the only time TOS is relevant in DS9 is an episode that you probably know by osmosis. Trouble with Tribbles, which is spliced together with DS9 to create Trials and Tribble-ations.
>>215143426
>>215143613Okay cool. I have tried with the original series but I just can't get into it. It's so formulaic and very obviously not meant to be binged.
I'm getting into Star Trek right now. Should I watch the series in complete sequential order before moving on to the next which is what I've been doing, or watch multiple series concurrently?
>>215143604Never managed to watch more than the odd episode of TOS.You need a bit of TNG for DS9, but that's about it.
>>215143613and the mirror universe, which iirc is not in TNG at all
>>215143613They have a whole ass episode of TOS Klingons trying to die honorably on DS9. It has a lot more than people realize.
why did last thread sage at 127 posts?
>>215138676>But why, when Sisko and Bashir changed the timeline, did they only notice the effects hours or days after their beamout, and not immediately?example?
>>215143958It was Data themed. And with the recent upswing of AI. Which is a bad thing. Most Trekkie folks have become unsympathetic to his character. Either that. Or, the Bingo dweeb killed the vibe again.
>>215137924I am going to have to agree with you. It is something to do with the feather in the hair and that outfit. I love the whole jacket + skirt combo.
>>215144241Oh yeah, Clint Howard in DS9 another TOS callback.
>>215144250The writers of DS9 loved TOS and worked in as much as they could, far more than TNG which was always trying to distance itself from TOS.VOY didn't much care for TOS either if I recall and ENT preceded TOS.
>>215143834>no 47sInto the trash it goes!
>>215144278>VOY didn't much care for TOS either if I recallThere was a callback here or there. From what I remember, Janeway fondly calls Kirk's crew a bunch of cowboys, and there's that episode where they travel back into Tuvok's memory of serving on the Excelsior
>>215144548They wereCowboys in space
>>215134078God, not another time-travel-to-the-sixties episode.
>>215134552Harry Kim should be in the 'booted out of the airlock' tier.
>>215144548>and there's that episode where they travel back into Tuvok's memory of serving on the Excelsiorfucking takei, i can't believe he didn't want to be on the enterprise with the rest of the gang. the whole excelsior thing felt really forced
>>215144589They had all the sets and all the props for some reason, the sandy streets the rolling bush
>>215134552I agreenow do this for tng and ds9
>>215143958Because, like most geezers, oldtrek seethers can't get it up.
>>>/pol/
>>215145336I agree. The thread with the Trump image was like, 3 threads ago. It's not even remotely on-topic anymore.
>>215144111That bingo card was the only one keeping the thread alive at the end. You have no gratitude at all.
The NuTrek retard with an axe to grind is literally killing these threads. /trek/! Lend me your energy! Together we can beat him hhHHHHNNNNGGGGGGGG-
>>215145527Hi Bash. I've always considered you to be the Michael Burnham of /trek/. And just like how she always single-handedly saves the day. I believe that you will save us from that menace. Whoever they may be.
>>215145845You ever go to a Star Trek con?
>>215145916If I wanted to hang around with fat smelly autists I'd clone myself
>>215145916Do they have to pay for these pictures
>>215145952yes
>>215145990why would you do that
>>215146007idk but I hear the better ones will spend a few minutes chating and answering questions
>>215145916Vic did nothing wrong.When's his rock opera?

That man was in the English dub of Ouran High School Host Club you show him some respect.
pitch me a Trek and Baby Yeed crossover
>>215146043*sigh*https://vocaroo.com/1day9MyVS9A5
>>215146394
for anyone who cares I am going to watch TMP, smoke a joint, and relax before bed
>>215134552Harry Kim should be in E for Ensign tier.
>>215146611you say that every time and you know what I'm in full agreement
that little dude was so excited to see the enterprise he does a flipI know how he feels
>>215146476Me on the left
>>215146641First time I've actually said it myself.
>>215146476they really were taking the whimsy out of Star Trek with these Movie Uniforms.
>>215146711well its been said
>>215146476Sweet dreams, this guy is going to be in the dark, watching you sleep.
>>215146725agreed, i love the technicolor of TOS. These uniforms are by far the worst too muted and earth toned for a star fleet
>>215146734Have we formed a hive mind? Is this how the Borg forms?
>>215146749Look! I am going to post it again! The East is burning red!
>>215146738is that the lil donny guy?
>>215146782I call one
>>215146476sounds good
>>215146869you can stop posting that shit now kthanx
>>215146986I'll think about it.
>>215146930Who will be the lolcuteass of Borg?
I missed Civil Defense and all sorts of shit because I went on vacation for my birthday.I'm sorry, Watchalong bros.
>>215147051happy birthday
>>215147021their are no girls in /trek/ this is a guys only hive so no queen either
>>215147076

How would Star Trek deal with wisdom teeth?Just had mine out and it hurts :(Is their opiates and opiods in the future?
>>215147249why do you keep posting this weird shit, stop it
>>215147487they probably have a gizmo that prompts your jaw to start reabsorbing your wisdom teeth, and some kind of pain relief hypospray
>computer>replicate me some heroin and put The Velvet Underground and Nico on repeat
>>215146476>>215146646>they blew the budget here so future movies had to scale it way backIt's a shame
>>215146254Captain Janeway stumbles upon a baby Yoda. Harry and Tom volunteer to take care of it, but they forget about time zones in space and so they feed the Baby Yoda some leola root stew after midnight and it becomes a Gremlin, wreaking havoc with the biomimetic gel packs until Tuvok kills it
>>215147701kino also he kills neelix before tuvok gets him
I look like SIsko, but I act like Odo.
>>215147804>I look like siskodoubt.jpg
>>215146725>>215146749They probably wanted a more serious and mature look than the show was going for. Show how Star Trek was growing up with the fans.
>>215147804Post skin
>>215148237nah gene probably just wanted more muted naval-looking uniforms like The Cage's bridge
I look like Bashir, but I act like O'Brien.
I look like Gerard Way but I act like Janeway.
>>215148530you do not look like gerard way
I look like the Klingon restaurant owner but I act like Gul Dukat.
I look and act like Neelix
>>215148648Quit being such a killjoy
I look like okana but act like barclay
Which trek is the most rewatchable?
>>215149041meanwhile in the real world
>>215149056all five of them
WHEN I WASA YOUNG CLONETHE FOUNDERS THEY TOOK ME THROUGH THE WORMHOLETO EXECUTE THEIR PLAN
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG OCAMPANEELIX TOOK ME INTO AN EMPTY CARGO HATCHAND RAPED ME IN THE ASS
>>215147676Just a massive blunder with the special effects on TMP. They hired a company that had only done tv commercial graphics, Abel and Associates. They paid them and let them work for months on the FX, then they asked to see what they had finished 9 months before the release of TMP in theaters, all Abel had finished was the wormhole sequence. They got fired and they had to pay Doug Trumball an insane amount of money to come in and save the movie.
>>215149041it baffles me people don't shit on you more
>>215149156we've spent 10 years shitting on him, at this point we mostly ignore him and occasionally tolerate
Thank you for the venom!
ok I'm done
>>215134078How is that fella outside not asphyxiating and freezing? What is holding his drink to the cup and his food to the plate? Why does he seem unconcerned with the entire situation?
>>215149056If I just wanna watch a 'sode. nine times out of ten I'm going VOY or TNG.
>>215149465thats gary he's basically a god
>>215149145TMP is kino but there's no denying that it was a disaster both in front of and behind the camera.When you can tell they were rewriting the script as they were filming - that's pretty bad.
>>215149472word
>>215149511in I am spock, nimoy talks about how he and deforest kelly tried to throw in a bit of their usual banter just a tiny bit and they'd glace at the director and realize those bits were getting cut
>>215149841Spock isn't a banter character.
>>215149941you haven't watched TOS yes he is mccoy and him spar constantly
>>215149941He his the target of banter. McCoy calls him a green-blooded soulless mongrel. And Spock banters back by slightly rolling his eyes.
>>215149941heres one of countless examples, the usual pattern is mccoy tries to insult spock and spock turns it around and makes it a compliment, sometimes mccoy gets the upper hand like in amok time but usually spock wins
>>215149941>Spock isn't a banter character.fake TOS viewer alert
>>215149841They keep a few of them>McCOY: Spock, you haven't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.>SPOCK: *eyebrow raise* Nor have you, Doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.But otherwise everyone feels more stiff than they should
There's a whole playlist of McCoy and Spock bantering with each other on Youtube, pretty good compilation by this fellahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrVqmYzGTuM&list=PL9tFigROBovFxqNcOpdX7SA0zJkDIJzoQ
>>215150265I am really looking forward to my TOS rewatch once I'm done with Ent although tbqh I'm enjoying ent a lot more then I thought a would not nearly as bad as I remember
Was blue shirt Picard an incel
>>215150427he fucked whats her name at least so no, in fact thats the whole problem he never learned restraint and discipline
>>215150427Don't you remember the 'sode? Picard FUCKS HARD.
hello how is your day going, /trek/?the prophets tell me Nacelle will announce a Ro Laren figure at SDCC this weekend
>>215150679NYCC*
>>215134485same
>>215150679but why?
>>215150811you never have gut feelings about stuff then it just manifests out of thin air in front of you sometimes?
>>215150902but Ro? why Ro?
>>215150940she's an exclusive lego character, no good figures have ever been made of her, and nacelles strategy has been to make side characters before main bridge officers there will be a Ro
>>215147539>hypospraydesu those sound much more painful than a plain old syringe. They have something similar irl and I'm told it hurts like a bitch.
>>215150679I start a new job on Monday. Less pay but shorter hours and a lot less stress. Also WFH so no commute.
>>215150973I think your attempt to meme it into existence is mistaken and I am getting serious Déjà vu here, have we done this before? years ago?
>>215151021Im always right eventually
>>215151037I knew it, one day Ro simp one day you'll get your lego
>>215134552Tom and Harry are the Julian and Miles of Voyager. Having them anywhere below B is sick and wrong. Torres was the Yoko that broke up the boys.
>>215148530>Gerard Wayway past his prime fat 46 year old comic book writer Gerard or 25 prime twink emo fuckboi Gerard, this is an important distinction
>>215151124not bf in fact the idea that he tries to conflate himself with gerard is insulting, but don't ever shit on gerard way he's a cool dude
>>215151124Twink death is a helluva thing.
New Whomp Trek!
>>215147051Ezri was just the cutest thing. Her actress still looked hot well into her 40's.
>>215151187It's so quaint seeing old media try and think up evil future technology. They weren't even close to the manmade horrors we ended up putting in our pockets.
>>215151268Ezri is my waifu forever
>>215151187sensibly chuckl'd

i really like ds9 but sisko's acting is hilariously bad sometimesbeen rewatching this week and i actually burst out laughing when he is arguing with Kira in the Maquis 2 parter
>>215146476Patrician Trek choice comrade.
>>215151408His cadence is remarkable, I'll grant you that.
>>215151436i think that's what gets mehe sounds like he's reciting a high school play when he does that
>>215150265>McCoy and Spock bantering with each other One of my favorite parts of TOS, I have seen some episodes over 30 times and I still giggle at their bants
>>215151450He's making boring dialogue interesting
>>215151408bad acting to me is when it's unconvincing. Avery as Sisko is not unconvincing he's just doing something you don't usually see.
>>215151408it isn't bad its unique one of a kind, no-one has ever managed to do what he does
>>215151408To be fair even Patrick Stewart even had bad and overly stiff line reads. It makes you wonder why they didn't choose a better take. Shatner on the other hand was so over the top he totally owned whatever ham-tastic performance he put in that week.Does anyone have the WEBMs of Kirk flailing around set? That's what I'm referring to.
>>215151499The flails were impeccable.
>>215151080They're not though. They have zero chemistry and their banter comes off as super tame and stale, like they've only known each other for a week.
>>215151696this bashir and miles are bros ride or die, tom and harry are sterile and lame
>>215151480Yeah, getting a reaction isn't a bad thing, and I think a lot of people are just accustomed to plain and flat dialogue. What Avery does as Sisko wouldn't be out of place on the theatre stage, and especially a lot of modern TV has lost something in having naturalistic dialogue while still using theatre style line delivery without emphasis.>tldr Brooks is based
>>215151729for me, it's miles barclay
>>215151729Pairings like Miles/Bashir, Kirk/Spock, and Data/Geordi make perfect sense. They balance each other out. I think in all three shows they didn't even like each other at first but conflict forced them to work together.
>>215150427This was so stupid I understood the why but the lesson is dumb in context to everything in and around when he ask for a chance and they say hes to timid the man is activaly trying at that moment and to assume that because someone is hesitant once will always be hesitant I mean fuck picard does behaves like that alot in show why is it a weakness now also for Riker to be the critic to point this out is retarded should've been a different character Janeway would've fit the situation better
>>215148237From what I've heard they put together a task force to determine what life would be like in the future and based their design decisions off that. Some nut suggested that the future of fashion was disposable clothing, hence the boring looking jumpsuits with sewn-in shoes. I much prefer the TOS approach of just assuming whatever was cool in the present day would be common place in the future, which leads to military officers wearing Beatle Boots and tight-fitting pants.
>>215151932Fashion is cyclical so the of-their-time wardrobes of old Trek doesn't even break my immersion. Whose to say 60's and 80's fashion won't be back in style when those shows take place?
>>215151499
>>215146394>I got an ugly Morrigan, hey what up Jess>I'd rather put my dick inside M'Ress
>>215152084funny to think that these men fought in ww2
>>215152004That's one of the reasons I think the visual design of TOS holds up so well. I guess the Pop Art colours and plastic chairs look dated and tacky to actual Boomers who can remember the 60's, but I when I was watching reruns as a kid, I'd never seen anything like that, it looked perfectly space-age to me.
>>215152198what compels you to post such trash? after all these years why?
>>215152185TOS is so dated visually that it wraps back around to being novel. It also helps that the directors understood staging and blocking so your eye is always following the characters.TV shows now have such uninspired staging because the directors know you're glancing up at the screen from your phone every 30 seconds.
>>215152350The irrepressible spirit of juche.
>>215152531no I think its just the directors have no fucking clue what they are doing
Ah, I made it to STD 506. The episode where Tilly has to win a footrace. Totally not immersion breaking or anything. A fat whale could easily outrun a native. It's 56 fucking minutes long. This is saying a lot, but this piece of shit is high on the running for worst episode of STD.
>>215152639that doesn't mean anything, you just can't stop being a total retard can you?
>>215152668why the fuck are you watching that shit?
>>215152680Only if Dear Leader wills it.
>>215152531TOS has a level of sincerity that modern TV wouldn't go anywhere near: the bombastic orchestral soundtrack, the way the lighting will change to reflect the character's emotions, the over-the-top stage combat; stuff like that is what makes it peak television.
>>215152753>the bombastic orchestral soundtrackBear McReary's BSG soundtrack can be rightfully treated as an opera on its own merits.He even walks through the entire creative process meticulously on his site, by episode and by track.https://bearmccreary.com/project/battlestar-galactica/
>>215152725so how your attempt to watch TOS going? you fucking waste of life
>>215152818Bears a great dude and BSG is stellar but that doesn't answer the question
>>215152852Doctor Spock's Gundam was lame and gay. And they let this guy be the Federation's expert on childrearing?
Keep your wits about you, /trek/, for today we are entering into some tough, lengthy negotiations.
>>215152753Also the episode titles are so insane you can't wait to see what they're about. TNG onwards went for one word minimalism.
>>215152668I wish I could find the review of that episode I say a couple years ago on youtube. It's by some woman who by all accounts looked like a social justice warrior - short dyed hair, beanie, tats, dressed like a highschool dropout - just absolutely reaming the episode for being comically shit because they had the landwhale decide to be the baitalas, I cannot find that video anymore, either because it was taken down, or because youtube's search became such trash in the past 5 years that you can't even find a video by searching its exact name
>>215152944thats TMP not TOS ffs BF you really are a useless waste of space
>>215152980There's just too much to even get angry about. Every minute is stupider than the last minute. Oh now Tilly has an eye that can scan the walls where they're trapped. What??? Most of STD is just boring trash but this episode is infuriating
Did he bring order?
>>215152980I will say one thing. It's pretty funny how shit they were at analyzing this culture. They whistle to talk, oh wow, they have 3 genders, how magical, they don't have any form of social hierarchy, wow they're so evolved. Then WHOOPS they happen to practice human sacrifice. Lol. Nice job miss Captain Xenoanthropologist. Now Burnham just broke the prime directive. I'm on the home stretch after this one anyway.

>>215152967I think somewhere along the way they got the idea that Trek titles are supposed to be "classy", so you get pretentious names like "Persistence of Vision" or "To Thine Own Self" that are often tangential to the plot, or even completely unrelated. It's even worse when they go with a Latin episode name.The episode titles are pure space opera / pulp fiction: TNG kept it up for a little while: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Arsenal of Freedom", "The Last Outpost", but they eventually gave up. The episode names used to be memorable, as soon as I hear a TOS title, I know which one it is. As much as I love VOY, I'll see a title like "Caecillius est in Horto" and it's 15 minutes before I remember which one it is. And often, the episode doesn't have a guy named Caecillus or a garden in it.
