Could photon torpedoes get through an EVA's AT Field?
Newfag slowly getting through TNG and it's finally found it's stride and I find the show incredibly comfy. These characters feel like friends and family that I've come to know and I enjoy the little stories no matter how silly they are. Data best boy for now but there is no one I really dislike.Thank you for reading my blog and I'm looking forward to getting into DS9 and Voyager once I finish this and the TNG movies.
https://youtu.be/mhoa7oWPPhkWow the First Contact theme really is so good. I almost wish it didn’t start out with the little TNG music motif; it works so well as its own theme. This could be the intro to a new Trek if they wanted to
>>217677488>Data best boy for now but there is no one I really dislike.Data only gets more complex and interesting as the show goes on.
why don't they turn a planet into a space station and it can warp around and launch moons that are converted into space ships
>>217677575Geordi is an amazing feat. A boring character, but so nice and appealable to the common man that everybody loves him dearly nonetheless lol
>>217677483a railgun could. so probably, yeah
>>217677607Geordi knows what it's like to be an outcast and he uses that empathy to reach out to other outsiders. The show trusts you to understand this so it doesn't beat you over the head through dialogue.
>>217677455everyday is freightday
>>217677488based, TNG is peak comfywatchmost trek is best in the middle of the seasonsusually the first and last season of a series are the weakest
Gul Dukat did nothing wrong.
>>217677488Yeah once you dig your heels in it becomes so kino. Not that S1 is bad by any means, but once it starts really ramping up and riker grows the beard it’s such a treat. Every episode treats you with thrilling stories and good characters and it’s fun seeing how the crew handles the situations that get thrown at them and how they interact with eachother, and you start day dreaming about working at starfleet aboard a beautiful Galaxy-class ship
>>217677953>you start day dreaming about working at starfleet aboard a beautiful Galaxy-class shipiktf
Im hosting a VHS showing on cytube this weekend of a Star Trek 2001 TV special. They spend a lot of time talking about how Enterprise is going to be the best series yet, lol
>>217677868>>217677953Yeah I’m on s3 and honestly i had to skip a large part of s1+2 because it was just stupid and not enjoyable stupid. I’m now pretty much watching every episode and liking it all. I think also I’ve not come to appreciate the show for what it is and not what I expected it which helps.
>>217677488I love Season 1 and 2, the music is really nice compared to the more orchestral stuff of the later seasonshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smm10QW96DA
>>217678032This is a dream job UGHHHH we were born in the wrong generation, bros
>>217678081S3 still retains that 80s/90s synth. So awesomehttps://youtu.be/KYub8A9suIQ
LMAO Paramount pulled the episode due to poor receptionhttps://geeksandgamers.com/paramount-quietly-privates-star-trek-starfleet-academy-youtube-premiere-after-disastrous-reception/
>>217678160Right, once Ron Jones was booted, the music changed a lot. Very sad!
>>217678178Can the pull Kurtzman or is that too much to ask
I'm on ep 5 of Voyager and Janeway keeps going on all the away missions. I thought the captain was supposed to stay on the ship?
>>217678178
>>217677953>you start day dreaming about working at starfleet aboard a beautiful Galaxy-class shipOh god, I know exactly what you mean. I've been doing that on and off since the 90s. That show just felt so powefully real.
>>217678226Have you ever watched trek? I’m pretty sure they explicitly address this in TOS or TNG lol. Something about higher officers busting their ass to be in charge therefore they want to be the first to make potential discoveries on the ground of strange new worlds
>>217678032
>>217678226they are, but the actors always want to do cool stuff and not just stand on the bridge every episode
>>217678321A great part about TNG is that they don’t just punch in numbers and go to Warp and instantly zip into a new location. A lot of the show takes place in the middle of long warps with comfy white noise and cool views out the window
>>217678226that was just something they made up for tng so they could split the intellect and personality of kirk into picard and riker
>>217678321>>217678032gonna kms so hopefully I am reborn into a universe where I serve on a comfy starfleet ship
>>217678457Nigeria had more babies last year than all of western europe. Good luck with those odds bro.
>>217678457neat, thanks for sharing

>>217678695Actually I was a little wrong and might have been misremembering based on discussion from trek forums i’ve seen over the years but apparently by the time of TNG there is a rule in place that says Captains can’t go but First Officers and under should
>>217676592Every day. Every day this little faggot gives me this stupid fucking look on his face.
>>217678178To anyone wondering where the dislike bar is, Youtube removed it years ago but there's a popular extension that mimics the functionality. What you're looking at is the ratio of people that installed the extension and then disliked it versus people that clicked like on Youtube.
>>217678695If nothing else then the fact that Kirk went on away missions with the boys all the time. If he ever insisted Spock or Scotty stay aboard because someone had to be on the ship in case he was killed or captured it was at his discretion and not citing some protocol.
>>217678178i really dont get it. it should be very obvious what fans want. its not problematic or white dominant or whatever. we just more star trek as we enjoyed it. why see that and then make something like this?
>>217678933You can’t do the same thing in perpetuity the already had issues with TNG and DS9 and VOY and wanted to move on to a new premise, and additionally yes I think you misunderstand how many people actually, unfortunately, have been enjoying STD and SNW and PIC and now SA. Not everyone is filled with hate, a bunch of people are actually filled with blind love for this new bullshit and there’s no pressure or a huge fan base writing letters demanding change.
ONE MILLION YEARS IN HELL TO MILES O'BRIAN
>>217678933Nerdy white autistic guys were soft banned from writers rooms in 2010 and hard banned in 2020. There's a chart floating around showing how white males have become an increasingly small part of television production. That's why there hasn't been any good sci-fi television in decades. And why so many recent shows are from a female perspective about female anxieties.
>Attention Bajoran workers… very often during my first tenure as station gul I was a prophet and was mostly derided. At the time of my struggle for power, it was in the first instance the Bajoran people who only greeted with laughter my prophecies that I would someday take over the leadership of Cardassia and of the entire Union and then, among other things, also bring the Bajoran problem to its solution. I believe that this hollow laughter of Bajor in our newly annexed Dominion territories has already stuck in its throat. I want today to be a station gul again: if Federation-Bajoran saboteurs inside and outside the the station should succeed in plunging the Alpha Quadrant once more into war, the result will be not the Bajoranisation of Cardassia and thereby the victory of hasperat, but the annihilation of the Bajoran race on Terok Nor!
>>217678997Go away, Kurtzman
>>217679029I’ve said it before but Star Trek is only getting fixed if by some miracle CBS appoints a racist, misogynistic white dude to be in charge. Better for some hard ass to be like “I should challenge myself and offer the fans good characters like Uhura or Geordi” versus a room of self-flagellating dorks trying to just reinforce their own retarded political ideas down the throat of everyone
>>217679102>Star Trek is only getting fixed if by some miracle CBS appoints a racist, misogynistic white dude to be in charge.My hour has arrived.
Sharing this here since the last thread archived without getting much traction. I found a VHS recording of a 1992 airing of The Search for Spock and you can download it here: https://gofile.io/d/micHjxThere are no deleted scenes added to pad out the runtime or anything, but it has some interesting instances of edits made to trim scenes and keep the movie moving along quicker. I made some side-by side comparisons of a few scenes I found especially interesting here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgGRtinDR_M
>>217679052Doesn't quite have the same punch as "I am currently having sex with Major Kira's mother."
>>217679052Dukat doesn't talk like that. you suck at this.
>>217678867So... in reality the dislikes are a hundred maybe a thousand times higher? Because not many people use that extension.
>>217677390Us all irrevocably indeed.
>>217679240Or it could be way more generous, perhaps a lot of people who had the extension installed also swayed to not liking and downvoting. It’s never going to be representative of true data and it’s hard to know how close it is to approximating the real deal.I hate youtube so much it’s unreal. They do nothing but further fuck up the site but the world is too stubborn to jump ship to a new alternative. Google has a monopoly on this shit bc youtube had insane and lasting first mover advantage
i memba when the way to watch videos on the internet was clicking on links to random file upload sites with embedded video players that you found on meme aggregator sites that updated daily
>>217679182An unappreciated man, indeed.
>>217678867they removed the dislike counter they didnt remove the dislike button.
>>217679182You have no idea what you're talking about, moron
>>217679439Okay, but they moved the bodies when they moved the headstones, right?
>no one is even hateposting about SA anymoreWhat happened?
Miles "chief" O'Brien is the most badass action hero of all time.
>>217679954It won the haters over... we lost
>>217679971
>>217679954The show turned out every bit as woke as we all thought it would be so there's nothing to discuss.
>>217679954bots malfunctioning not able to post anymore? some other show came out and all the /pol/troon newfags got new orders from youtube grifters and moved on to something else for the moment? idk

>>217679954I think we’ve all said our piece, what more is there to say?

>>217680052>Black guy managed two have TWO of his dads go get milk foreverKek
Remember when Klingons were ugly as shit but carried their heads high and commanded respectable admiration from their prowess and cultural might instead of le beautiful polyamorous Klingon Lives Matter gypsy minorities? Lazy ass interpretation and they offer no weight to the audience anymore :(
Can anyone give me a overview of the NG movies? Is it better to just leave it at the finale of tv series?
>>217677488blogposting again, but I just finished S3E7 'The Enemy'. Really enjoyed it and good to get some background and on Federation/Romulan relations. I liked Worf's dilemma and refusal about helping the prisoner and Picard's extreme disappointment in him but not that he would force Worf to do something he wouldn't want to. Good stuff and I liked Geordi and the Romulan working together and also what is the pont of Troi? She said nothing this episode and I find her the most boring of the main characters so far.
>>217680325Keep these up they are actually fun to read. I always like vicariously experiencing these episodes again for the first time through new viewers sharing the thoughts. TNG hits all the right notes
>>217680325>what is the pont of Troi?eye candy
>>217680325>>217680367>I find her the most boring of the main characters so far.Lmao
>>217680325They gave Troi retarded, story-breaking powers so if there is a story where someone who isn't a robot needs to keep a secret, you'll notice she's usually nowhere to be found.
>>217679240>>217679439Okay so it is still there. My brain just filtered it outThis is the ratio to the people that bothered to click dislike even when it appears to do nothing at all. I didn't even know what the point was until Google told me that it's supposed to curate your home feed. I don't know how that works differently from "Not interested" and I'm never going to know because Youtube refuses to elaborate.
>>217680324The finale is better than the movies but they are still mostly worth watching imo... Though Insurrection is mostly dogshit minus some kinda cool ship scenes.
>>217680301A gay Klingon birdwatcher from a polyamorous family is something you'd expect from a chud podcast 10 years ago. A CumTown bit played completely straight with corporate backing.
>>217680301The forehead is the result of having a durag welded to their head at age 7.
>>217679954there's only so many ways you can say that you can say something was entirely created by a gay robot
>>217679014at least its a break from keiko's cooking
NO FEET ON STARFEET ACADEMY THIS WEEKTHAT IS MY SOLE REASON FOR WATCHINGTHIS IS A TOE-TAL FAILUREKURTZMANN WE ARE NOW ARCH ENEMIES
>>217681163>Mary Sue on him
>>217679102>Star Trek is only getting fixed if by some miracle CBS appoints a racist, misogynistic white dude to be in chargeWow wee! Do I have some great news for you!
>>217681336Larry Ellison isn't some hands-on creative guyHe doesn't care about anything but "number go up" or "number go down" for the entire streaming service and probably has no idea what this show even is
>>217680325I think you'll find that even though TNG is great, there are a lot of times where they didn't really know what to do with Troi, Beverly and GeordiIt's not that they're bad characters, they just aren't given a whole lot to do compared to Riker, Picard and Data.(this is something that DS9 is a lot better about imo, the entire cast of DS9 has a lot of depth and conflict and interesting character traits)
it's fun watching tng for the first time and seeing all the memes that have been createdi just got to episode where barclay and his goon cave were introduced
>>217681369And you're convinced that these shows are pulling in numbers. This is perpetually a mystery to everyone
>>217681428no, I'm not convinced of that at all. I don't think he really cares about individual show performance -- it's been proven that streaming services don't give a shit about that as much as the big picture.Ellison is probably just looking at the numbers, seeing Landman carrying the whole streaming service on its back and says, "Good," and then moves on to one of the other many interests he manages with his billions other than P+
Whats the consensus on Tasha Yar?
>>217681369His own son founded Skydance and is Kurtzmans boss lol
>>217681473Clanker lover steel burner who got what she deserved.
Why were there no Voyager movies?
>>217681473the show is better with her leaving but her death is retarded and she was retarded for leaving
>>217681523also the actress is a migat
>>217681507Well he hasn't done shit so far has he
>>217681470If they take the mean average of every show on CBS All Access and then say "Welp, it's turning a profit. Well done boys" then they can overlook a giant money sink. 5 of them. If there is any kind of analysis being done on the individual shows then there is no way that they can turn these numbers into the assertion that Kurtzmantrek is bringing in viewership.This is gross incompetence or a money laundering scheme. These are the only two theories that make any sense and I say this because of basic math.
>>217681551Why do you think that is? How does something with support from right wing billionaires end up having so much LBGTQ non-white propaganda in it?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=sDK7BAJLyVcProdugy was good until the second season
>>217681524about what? are they supposed to get yeeted back to the delta quadrant?
>>217681524Like DS9, it was never as popular as TNG which was a cultural hit. Voyager also has a near enough completed story from beginning to end plus the later TNG movies flopped which made studios hesitant I imagine.
>>217681577Well, these guys weren't in charge when this show went into production and was filmed, so it'll be a lot more telling what happens AFTER this show.
>>217681533At least they brought her back and gave her a proper death in Yesterday's Enterprise. Funny how she died in one of the worst episodes, and again in one of the best.
>>217681617David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son, founded Skydance in 2006 and has been involved in Star Trek since for sure Into Darkness (2013).Correct me if I am wrong.
>>217681634uhm ACKtually she didnt die in Yesterday's Enterprise, she was canonically kept as a sex slave for years afterwards before being executed
>>217681656Well in that case it's even grimmer than we thought
>>217681703>uncomfortable with being the raped first time around and quit>comes back and becomes the raped again
>>217681703Going from one rape gang to another eh?
>>217681473It's an absolute tragedy they never put her in a miniskirt uniform
>>217679052He was a decent villain but them going "Bajor's Satan and also he had the hots for Kira's mother even though that was never even hinted at before" was just incredibly retarded.
>>217679052>attention Bajoran workers, why is it that every time I piss, I don't have to shit but everytime I shit, I also have to piss? Rest assured, I will find these answers and increase your workload tenfold each week I fail to acquire this wisdom. Your secrets will be mine. Don't @ me in the chat, discord kittens.>PS, Kira you fucking bitch I know it's you that keeps swatting me and telling High Command that I am, and I quote "trying to hook up with underage Jem'Hadar" please stop, it's very stressful and mean
>Alexander Hilary Kurtzman (born September 7, 1973) is an American filmmaker. He is best known for co-writing the scripts to Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) with his writing and producing partner Roberto Orci, and directing and co-writing The Mummy (2017). He made his directorial debut with People Like Us (2012), co-written alongside Orci and Jody Lambert.Jesus wept
>>217681820>it is as I suspected
Is this episode really the worst? Its just a basic cultural misunderstanding episode. I guess it has an old fashioned pulp perspective on foreign cultures but its so diluted that i dont really see how it could be called offensive. Replace the actors with a diverse cast and it wouldnt be as negatively seen. Its a retread for sure but not the worst thing ive seen.
>>217681820most of /tv/ is too young to remember but Transformers was THE movie of the summer that year
>>217681758They were setting up her character arc as learning to trust and love again after a tumultuous upbringing. She even tells Data she's comfortable around him because he isn't capable of rape. But it all worked out because we got the Data/Geordi best friends timeline and not the Data/Geordi/Tasha love triangle timeline.
>>217681861And it wasn't even as good as the Transformers movie with Orson Welles in it.
>>217681859Shades of Gray is the worst because it's a clip show episode.
>>217681859yeahit's also just an extremely cheap looking episodeit would be right at home as a TOS episode
>>217681861I thought ROTF was better than the first movie and I never got why everyone hated it so much.
>>217681859no, it's fine. it's actually a good episode showing how aliens that seem backwards and retarded in their culture to humans can have it actually work for them and still be civilized. when what's her face was like "Lutan fuck off" he just kind of accepted his L and it was a peaceful transition.
>>217681859tasha wanted the bbc bad
>>217681859I find the treatment of Klingons in STD and SA to be way more offensive than Code of honor personallyEven in SA if the story is that the Klingon Empire fell and came apart, the idea that they would go from interstellar empire to a bunch of people wearing animal skins hunting with fucking bows and arrows is so goddam insulting when paired with an apparent push to try and make every Klingon played by a black person.
People call him Optimus Prime instead of Convoy and they want to have opinions on Transformers lmao you probably have trouble telling Seekers apart you cuck
>>217681912I actually don't mind the parts of that episode that aren't clips. Makes it a very swift rewatch, versus episodes like Okana I skip outright.
>>217678221Well other anons did some digging and found that kuntsman is married to a lawyer, a lawyer who just so happens to own a shell company that, as luck would have it, just so happens to deal with all the finances at the studio.This includes payroll and contractors. So the next time you ask "why did this cost $20million" or "who needs 25 co-producers" it's money laundering. So no, paramount won't fire him. He saves them tens of millions via Jewish coin shaving. Any "loss" he generates with his vanity projects is wildly offset by the tax savings and quarterly bonuses
>>217682015get pissed on by acid storm, jerkwad
What i find to be a common problem with NuTrek is that they fail to understand the scale and unique traits of the different factions of star trek.
>>217681336>jew>white
>>217681859What I find offensive is how badly they hid the stunt actors in the show with the final fight being a joke. HD makes it worse because you can clearly see Tasha Yar is a guy in a wig in the pilot episode.
>>217682038there are no such thing as unique traits, that would be racist
>>217682038It’s actually impressive how homogeneously boring and gay and retarded everyone is.
Why is Kurtzman bad but the Ellisons aren't?
>>217682026those deals are with the old jews that sold paramount. the new jews bought it so they could implement their own fraud, not continue perpetrating the old jews fraud
>>217682128I don't know what /trek/ you've been posting in if you think we're "pro jewish billionaire" around here
mirror universe: who would be the most interesting fuck? like you would learn something about science or life or death afterwards?
>>217682110It was a pretty diverse cast of characters with different convictions before it turned into Spirit Halloween costumes having feelings in hallways.
>>217682160Clarify the question, horndog
>>217681859Its really not that bad, its an OK episode blown out of proportion because you cant make heckin negros look bad
>>217682128they are both bad in different ways. ellisons are slightly favorable at present because they sunk billions into paramount and are presumably motivated to seek profit which requires producing content that people actually want to consume. its a long shot but its the only shot we got
>>217682051>HD makes it worse because you can clearly see Tasha Yar is a guy in a wig in the pilot episode.There's another episode where Worf is carrying an unconscious Data and it's clearly a doll in a wig. I'm surprised that scene hasn't become a stock anti-TNG shitpost.
Alex Kurtzman claims "persecution" but is conveniently leaving out years of history leading up to this. He was initially invited here on good faith. We were promised an in depth exploration of Picard's character in his later years but we were given a rehashing of his encounter with The Borg which appears to be the one thing he knows about TNG with a dozen b-plots that went nowhere. I didn't say "money laundering" for the first 5 years but I have no idea what else to say at this point.
>>217682128Ellison is good because he's benevolent. Reddit accused him of being nazi, but he didn't change Nickelodeon or Trek.Kurtzman is arrogant but incompetent
>>217682231Well get it started bro, give us the screencap
>>217682181presumably everyone aboard a starship is an explorer at heart. new discoveries everywhere. then mirror universe
Okay so Will Shat will do a cereal commercial full of poop jokes but Lower Decks and RLM are beneath him?https://x.com/WilliamShatner/status/2017281661042384921?s=20
>>217681883OK but the tasha/data/lore timeline could've gone full death note game of cat & mouse
>>217682317>Shat will do thing that makes him a lot of money but wont do the things that dont make him a lot of moneyIts a mystery
>>217682317The RLM thing is so funny to me
>>217677390>You're such a freaky girl>I love it
>>217682317I actually did some research why do Hollywood actors like Brat Pitt do commercials but not series. Apparently commercials, per capita, pay a lot
>>217682160mirror guinan When Q gets worried it's time to start sweating
>>217682160ensign horndog, report immediately to cargo bay 2
>>217682323They were definitely cooking something with Lore and Tasha, as well as Lore and Dr. Pulaski. >>217682314I remember it was the one where Data got knocked out so they turned him off and on again.
>>217682317>>217682354he obviously found the RLM defense force backlash amusing and quadrupled down because of it
>>217682378Industryfag here, traditionally the margins on commercials are astronomical especially car commercials I'm talking literally 10+ million for A-listers to do something like a super bowl spot, shot in one dayDirectors and DPs get in on it too
>>217680052>Jay-Den.Why does this...Klingon have a human name?
>>217682438>more Borg than woman
>>217682662Yeah, I mean, so called "a list stars" like Bratt Pitt, Leonardo Dicaprio and Thomas Cruise do them for a reason
>>217682699more woman than a fleshlight
>>217682665probably because this is a show for kids so even the aliens can't have names that sound too silly and embarrassing for a zoomer to say when they're talking about the show to their friends
Vulcans have some gay new name now and Klingons are almost extinct. Bravo George
>>217682662So it's money laundering? They pay them that much as a payoff for something else they did that they couldn't pay them for legally. Makes sense. Thanks. Now I understand how the organized crime that runs Hollywood and Advertising operates
>>217682886Troi is so much cooler in an actual uniform. Jellico I cannot thank you enough for bringing a certain decorum back to the ship, sir
>>217682918its more like embezzelment
has anyone seen the show Fringeapparently it involved Kurtzman and i must see how it compares to the thoroughly disappointing ST:PIC
>>217682859>relativity
>>217682929I love this guy. Only retards would think that he was a disruptive asshole. His style was just different. Serving under him must have been as amazing as under Picard.
>>217682840I'll admit my first credit card choice was because of Sam Jackson. There were just dozens of shit options to choose from, and 1.5% cashback was simple. still got it. one of the few commercials i know i personally help continue
>>217683057The crew being absolute whiny babies about his changes was a hoot.>b-but thiis isn't how p-picard would command...
>>217682317>Lower Decks and RLM are beneath him?Today I will remind them
>>217682438>when your hot but you can also act and become a fan favorite and save the entire show. I dont remember, but horny teen me probably got in to trek because of 7of9.
>>217682957Yeah truthfully I never learned what the words that stand for financial crimes mean.
ItJustKeepsGettingWorse
Why isnt there a blu ray of ds9 and voyager? Is it because it was mastered on video? I heard something about recreating effects but i would be happy with lower res special effects alongside high res dailies (or were those shot on television cameras)?
>>217683444>non binary humani thought that bully guy was actually an ugly fish alien
>>217683444>first ever gay relationshipTwo hot women kissing does NOT count apparently>non-binary humanHe's a fucking gay fish
>>217683444The first one eh. You guys have like 7 shows and 12 movies over half a century but I guess this is first mention of gay people.
>>217683626They lauded STD for having the first female ST lead.They're tabloid journos. They don't give a fuck about the truth, just what gets clicks.
>>217683477It's that, but it's also because doing it for TNG cost a bunch right as people were buying less physical media. So they decided to spend money elsewhere because you're supposed to get excited for new product instead.
>>217683444>non binary humanI thought he was Khionian bitch
>>217683477My conspiracy theory is they can't have fresh eyes on DS9 and Voy because people will immediately see the difference in quality to the P+ shows. It's the same reason we don't have classic Pokemon games on the Switch/2.
>>217683724Really makes you wonder how he repaired his computer consoles. Surely the Cardassians didn't leave any blueprints behind in the computer core.
>>217683669I don't know how they're ever going to put their foot in their mouth more than with Star Trek. You have nothing to prove or innovate so you just reinvent history. The random IP you found to grandstand is a man's vision of a bright future where humanity ah fuck it
>>217683755Odo didn't need them in his quarters he could just use the ones in his office
>>217683715kek.
>>217683755I assume a tricorder can scan an undamaged original and feed the data to a matter synthesizer or transporter.
>>217683444Why does that Commander have his pips on his neck instead of his collar?
>>217683852Heyooo. Looks like Orion’s belt. He’s gonna need it the way his pants are always off!
Why are there so many wizards in Star Trek?
>>217683444>sets the internet on fireI remember when it used wrong to call them flaming homosexuals
since SA is all you guys talk about i feel like i might as well actually watch it
>>217683444>last klingon in the galaxy is gay>race is just a social construct as long as we remember them fondly
>>217683943The ferengi spazzing out in this episode is fucking hilarious. Did they really expect people to see them as the new big bad of the series?
>>217684153Just because someone calls you a fag doesnt mean you start sucking dick
>>217684213>Did they really expect people to see them as the new big bad of the series?Yes. The following year they made the Borg the big bads, and the Ferengi became Team Rocket.
>>217684233incorrect analogy
Starfleet Academy is more like an American highschool. The stupid varsity jackets, debating clubs, homer simpson'esque pranks ...holy shit. Is this what Kurtzman thinks Starfleet is run?
>>217684552you're right... but now we are actually talking about sucking a dick. How does that make you feel, faggot?
i'm a gay faggot who has sucked dicks and taken dicks in the ass, and i hate all of nutrek.
>>217684587i'm not talking about that, you are. you brought it up out of nowhere.
>>217684213(((Yankee traders)))
I suppose the Modus Operandi of star trek is>I am Gene Roddenberry, I am providing a world in a post-scarcity society, don’t think about it too hard I can’t explain the specificsBut by the time of TNG is there still a sort of wealth system? I get that money isn’t a thing and especially by the time of replicators and holodecks you’re good to go, but what about prime real estate e.g. one of the best condos overlooking an Italian villa, a yacht, a well-to-do family with lots of power? How do these things still function? Inherited and trade on a case-by-case basis?
>>217684781The Federation is just the british empire. The ranking is a class based system if i ever saw one. A society like that probably wouldnt care if the poor starved.
>>217684781techno-fudalsim. It makes perfect sense if you think about it instead of just whining about the surface level appearance
>>217679240In reality it could be whatever.They're saying the sample is incredibly biased because the only people who install the extension (and therefore vote) are ass-mad faggots who are upset people can't see their downvotes anymore.It's a farce. People who take it seriously have a dent in their skull or are closet Cardassians.
>>217684781With a spaceship, you can go anywhere you want
>>217681507>>217681551Correct. Elisons son and Skydance basically burns money to make forgettable trash.One of his big movies back in the day was some forgettable WW1 airplane movie (Fly Boys IIRC) and it was a text-book example of taking every trope and tired-cliche and weaving it into 2 hours of meaninglessness. He's probably had some other failures since then.The internet often describes him as looking like the kind of guy who calls his dad at 2am panicking that he's killed another hooker. Kek.But I judge people on the context of their character, not on physical attributes. Will team Ellison be good for Trek? No, probably not.
>>217678178>make STD which barely anyone liked>continued doubling down on Tard Trek>make SA which continues the canon of STD>even less people like itHow much dirt does Kurtzman have on Hollywood to be able to do this? How can someone hand this guy millions for a 7th time with nearly nothing to show for it?
>>2176818612007 was stacked for films. It's kind of nuts really.
>>217680325Enemy is one of my favorite TNG episodes. It's simple, sure, but it's still an excellent script of two enemies being forced to work together under worsening conditions.
>>217685152and vidya. It was a great time, perhaps even arguably the peak of civilization
>>217680313>female klingon
>>217680313Why does she have a south London Jamaican accent?
Welcome to Star Trek's Enemy Races: We have>warlike: Klingons>scheming: Romulans>warlike AND scheming: Cardassians>???: Breen
>>217683444>gayfish and pussyklingon linked up! Need it or keep it??!
>>217685283>Jews; Ferengii
>>217685283Breen are mercs who get the job done
>>217685283Ruthlessly opportunistic and mysterious. Exactly what they needed to be to stand out and be interest in before hack writers couldn’t help themselves and put them into a little box
>>217685283>KlingonsEmpire destroyed, now a bunch of polyamorous gay hunter/gatherering refugees>RomulansEmpire destroyed, now a bunch of samurai elf refugees run by female witches or some shit (???)>CardassiansGive Kurtzman time>Breen"What's a Breen?" -- Kurtzman
>>217685305two quantum torpedoes weren't enough
>>217685343>BreenWeren't they turned into gay jelly people in STD?
I still think the Breen are badass just for this scene alone Bro martyr'd himself so the boys could get away
>>217685419That was pretty good characterization of the Breen.>weird ass helmet guy prisoner>let your guard down for a second>he instantly puts his life on the line and kills you
>>217681859I wouldn't say it's bad because it's racist, it's bad because it's boring and stupid. They kidnapped a high ranking crew member and Picard is supposed to "play along" by kindly asking for her back?
>The Star Trek Enterprise stream on PlutoTV has ended>OG/TNG/DS9/VOY streams are all still goingrip
>>217685477but i have faith of the heart ;_;
>>217685477It’s been a long road, gettin’ from there to hereIt’s been a long time, but my time is finally near
>>217685477You can dislike ENT. You can say it isn’t perfect. But I implore you /trek/, try not to fully hate it.
>>217682886I like this comfier version
so plan A for Kes was to have Voyager's journey take about 9 years and for her to die as an old old ocampa in the finale I guessAs dry as Kes was that would have been pretty cool, Seeing her all cherubic in the pilot to an old crone in the finale.Would have been quite emotional dare I say.
>it’s an O’Brien episode of DS9
>>217685755She had too many prosthetics on, sexwise I can only tolerate betazoid dark contacts or cute Vulcan ears
>>217685826*and Bajoran nose ridges
>>217685826what does she have other than her ears?
>>217685882It's obvious almost her entire face was prosthetics. She doesn't look anything like that according to her mugshots.
>>217685813>Julian makes him do gay stuff in the holosuitegrim
>>217685954
>>217677525Still boggles my mind that they didn't repeat what Locutus was if they needed an avatar for the Borg. The Queens were so shit. I remember, naively, thinking during Picard s3 that Locutus would be resurrected, but no, it was the mustache twirling cackling Queen again. Remember when Locutus literally asked Worf in bafflement why they resist? Because from the Borg's POV per TBOBW they were the good guys. You don't get that warped but sincere outlook with the Queen
>>217682026Interesting. Without research I inferred it was down heavily to being a croney of JJ, who has daddy Spielberg in his corner
>>217682038Why do I find TNG-DS9 era Romulans so appealing? I am also now reminded of the sheer quality of actors they got for small roles. This motherfucker right here had the screen presence to play the arch villain of an extended arc pitting the Feds against the Romulans. William Sadler also killed it as Sloan. And Katsulas as Tomalak
Idea:>new antagonist called some shit like the Freehold of Worlds or whateverthefuckwhocares>like the feds, the freehold formed with 4 different races coming together consensually - but in their fractured corner of the galaxy, when they did begin expanding, they incorporated in new worlds that did not conform after negotiation and peace overtures by defaulting to coercion, threats, and outright invasion - but said invasions were like Alexander at Guagamela - forcing a decisive single victory vs. terror campaigns>the races that had the shit beaten out of them were then picked back up and had the dust and blood brushed off them by the freeholders and fully incorporated in>can serve in the navy, have high political office, etc. and the freeholders have advanced mechanisms to ensure cultural assimilation>by the time they encounter the fed, the new generation of freeholders have not for a generation even had to bring in a new world via violence because of prior generation's reputation - the threat of what they can do with a decisive victory is well known and, like the feds, they do turn planets into paradises.>they are half as old as the federation but cover slightly more territory, have slightly better science/equipment in a few areas, create paradises. So can brag about how their way works>not like the romulans/klingons where one race rules space and over client races or the twisted horror show that was the dominion>but their expansion can rely on coercion, implied threats, and violence>but they can be reasoned with so it's not all out war when they encroach on federation space>the don't even want to take over the federation because it's too big but view them as competitors for new worlds to join their respective unionsBasically the feds, for once, face a reasonable ideological foe vs. feds but evil (terran, confederation) or empires where there is one specific race at the top dominating.
>>217686018Hottest take ever incoming but while fucking cool in concept, the Borg ended up being really dumb and gay in execution and should have been contained to like 4 or 5 episodes max before being nuked out of existence. Sometimes flying by the seat of your pants in the writing room leads to watered down outcomes and you don’t always get hard-hitting lightning in a bottle
>>217686119They’re just pure scum bags. Not like Klingons, much more sinister and worse. Any time you give them the benefit of the doubt they always end up being calculating and cold and you’d wished you just cut their throats instead. I love it
If you see this image, you have been visited by the shapeshifting Odo of Deep Space 9. Many Ales and Bajoran Orbs will be yours, but if and only if you post “GET THE FUCK OFF MY GODDAMN PROMENADE” in this thread.
>>217686353>the Borg ended up being really dumb and gay in execution and should have been contained to like 4 or 5 episodes max before being nuked out of existence.If you had to go back to TBOBW the only real critiques would be the drones looking a bit shit here or there and having something adding to the idea of a collective intelligence, like when Picard has been kidnapped and is conversing with the Collective, the fucking drones in his area can be moving their mouths too and adding to the chorus. The way it plays out when they escort him, it's like they are mindless goons taking him to the big bad rather than actually linked to the intelligence
>>217686119I was just watching that voyager episode about the next emanation and was thinking about the quality of the bit part actors due to the guy playing the alien in line to die who Harry swaps places with.
>>217686119>>217686389Romulans really explore the concept of "What if Vulcans were assholes", which makes them interesting.
>>217686419I always figured that the Borg "speak" as a whole like that when they're linked to the ship via their alcoves
>>217686415GET THE FUCK OFF MY GODDAMN PROMENADE
>>217686389I like how having the first Romulan Starfleet officer (who is sincere about everything lol) should have been a character arc for someone and a historic moment but instead it's a throwaway thing in that shitty picard tv show wasted on a nonentity of a character called elnor. I can even imagine the guy who eventually becomes the first Romulan Starfleet officer initially being their liason (DS9 tried something in an episode or two with that lady who ran the generator for the loaned cloak device) and when he consents to wear a starfleet uniform after a certain point, he still has to spit in their faces by demanding HIS uniform have a green colour scheme and obvious romulan pins etc
>>217684171lel, i cant believe these writers are just writing off the klingons. kahless the forgotten. fuckin fantastic ending.
>>217683444Hey remember that episode of TNG when Riker met that genderless alien but still called her a “her”
>>217686423>>217686119Once upon a time, actors and really everyone involved in making a show would actually try to produce a good product.
Sometimes I'll be taking a shit and pondering things about Star Trek.Like for example, the Borg. They are one, unified consciousness linked via subspace. So how does the collective designate? How does it give orders? There's only one mind. How do the "limbs" of the Borg operate, so to speak?How are they like>cube 4742 is off assimilating an advanced culture>sphere 6767 is taking scans of a nebulahow does this work?
>>217686578There’s a borg queen who i always interpreted as being the central brain of the borg because the drones were mindless
>director's control of the set and command of the script is so fucking bad they he couldn't even wrangle the Kliggers and make them properly say "KAY-LESS" and "CROW-NOS">they all say KAY-LESH and CRO-NESH instead>and none of them are wearing the fake teeth
>>217686449Well it works even better because Vulcans ARE assholes, but well-intentioned. So it's a good foil to be like "here is an even worse version, if you had any doubts."I'm not sure what the fantasy scene was like around the 60s to the 80s when their lore was being developed and solidified (certainly high fantasy and dark fantasy wasn't as developed and tropey as it is now.) I imagine D&D and Lord of the Rings and a lot of fantasy tropes played into it though. Vulcans / Romulans ended up being a "pompous asshole regular elves" and "conniving truly untrustworthy dark elves" class, either deliberately or accidentally through convergent evolution of the lore. >>217686506The idea of Klingon diaspora is actually really interesting on paper. An honor-bound culture deeply obsessed with tradition and feudal loyalty suddenly robbed of the anchor that ties them together (ironically losing their home world through their own ignorance and greed). Too bad modern writers can't be trusted to do anything interesting with characters or races beyond gay relationships and quirk chungus marvel humor. It's a shame, really.
>>217686542Are you really making this sort of incel argument about Trek?
Shouldn't Klingons be Federation members that far in the future? Daniels on ENT said it a couple of times.
>>217686628spoken like a true huge faggot who has never watched trek
>>217686704They would at least be having an internal civil war over half of them doing it and the other half being a faction of guerrilla antagonists trying to thwart a federation alliance and return to any semblance of klingon re-unification. But modern writers don’t want to offer anything interesting
>>217686628One of the better things in Enterprise was that they showed the Vulcans were elitist dicks, and that most species dont like them, especially Andorians
Voyager has the comfiest bridge.
Why is /trek/ so fast recently
>>217685477Has that even been a channel for very long? I know for a while they were playing episodes on the generic sci-fi one.
>>217686755The comfiest bridge is the TNG bridge with the lounge chairs at Helm and Ops
>>217686710Thanks for your input
>>217686763tourists
>>217686763zoomer faggots have discovered Star Trek. Youngfags are basically mining the past now that current year sucks. They find everything already systematized for their consumption by the oldfags that watched, evaluated and catalogued it all. A zoomer can bore to the bottom of a genre well in way less time and effort than at any time in history. I wonder what they will do when they speedrun all the good shit and have nothing left.
>>217686734You don't get it, dude. Dilithium all over the galaxy exploded simultaneously because some child (definitely not Franklin Richards from Marvel) cried really hard and this totally exploded the whole fucking Klingon Empire. Yes, they all lived together on the same planet and they all died at once, more or less, so now they're hunter/gatherers so Kurtzman can make a weird racist depiction of them and somehow get away with it.Also just ignore alternative technologies like the Romulan singularity drive which is standard on all of their fucking ships or the slipstream tech or the transwarp tech that VOY got from the Borg, or anything they learned in the Delta Quadrant. Nope.
>>217686815Nah TNG bridge is too bright to be truly comfy. Voyager is all dim and chillaxed. A brooding space to peruse the universe on the slow voyage home.
>o’briens master plan to free tosk from the hunters was to punch them in the face
>In 3195, Ambassador Elim Garak's name was the sole name of someone who did not attend Starfleet Academy on a wall honoring luminary cadets and graduates from Starfleet Academy in the USS Athenaoh I hate thatWhat's the implication? He becomes a little lapdog for the federation post-war? That's not the future I foresaw for Cardassia.Humbled after being utterly devastated? Sure.No Ambassador Garak though.Even if the Fed + Cardassia became best buds, Garak being the olive branch is quite distasteful desu. idk if I'm being an autistic purist though.

>talking about plebbit when it was just revealed moot is in the Epstein files and Epstein was involved in the creation of /pol/ and the gay culture war zeitgeist we've dealt with for the past 15 fucking yearsWhen was the first /trek/ thread? Are we part of this too? At this point I'm going to start to wonder if BF was involved, jesus christ, what a clown world
>>217677390One of my favorite Star Trek moments is when Spock loses his patience for McCoys racism and McCoy is genuinely terrified for a second.
>>217686987That makes no sense, everyone knows Garak is way too sketchy to hold something like a diplomatic position, especially the Cardassians.

>>217687383that's great. you're so great because you were born in the 60s. you're a god.

>>217680325One of if not my favorite episode. You get Geordi, you get Romulans, you get Worf being a based dickhead, you get Picard working his talk-no-jutsu even if it fails to convince Worf, you get the thinly-veiled threats and sabre rattling between Tomalak and Picard, you get Wesley not being insufferable and actually being knowledgeable within the bounds of reason for his character, it's great.
>>217687404I was born in 1982.
>>217687574then we're the same you retarded faggot
>>217681539wat
>>217687607I guess not, since you think you could have downloaded a bootleg concert film on Usenet at 56k dialup speed in the 1990s. Video capturing software that could compress full-length movies and computers that could run that weren't even invented yet. A full-length movie would have taken like two weeks 24/7 at that speed, if it was possible then. Which it was not.
>>217687656it's called multipart archival
>>217681912i like the data & geordi go vine hunting bits
The worst part of all this is that NuTrek directly taints all the beloved 60s and 90s comfy kino that everyone has grown attached to, but ENTchads get to float in their own little contrarian world enjoying their weird middle-child side project
>>217687656plus, unless you had a 2nd line for internet, you would never get enough uninterrupted time to complete the download.
>>217687698>enjoying their weird middle-child side projectAnd even the mirror universe episodes were FAITHFUL to TOS.Accurate uniforms, accurate sets, even tying it into the fucking Thorian episode.
>>217687692>>217687730>desperate unrealistic AI answer Guy. You lost. Did you have any of that? Like, that tech would have been absurdly expensive and literally unrealistic unless you were Cisco. Was there dedicated torrents in the 90s? No? How about that server bandwidth that would host these 'archive' files? I downloaded a 20 second Quicktime video clip of MST3k in 1997 and was blown away that it only took 20 minutes. You should probably stop now. It's embarrassing for you.
>>217687823>>217687823>>217687823
>>217687813i said what i used usenet for and i used it for downloading multipart rar files containing bootleg concerts. no, not in the year 1994 or whatever you're hyperfocused on like that is the only time usenet ever existed.
>>217687730Yes, not to have bundled you in the reply, but this kid has no idea. The cost for even a 128kb connection was insane in the 90s. Not to mention: who would digitize and upload and host a "bootleg concert film" in the 90s? Bill Gates? Oh, the youth. So arrogant but so naive. Good on you, oldhead!
>>217687856Lol so tell me what year then, kid. I specifically cited 1997, but it seems context clues are not your strong suit.
>>217687885probably like 2001 or so. therefore I also remember the times where it took an entire day to download a 2 minute clip of sailor moon. you're not special for being 40 years old you insane faggot.
>>217687911Lol you lost dude. You ain't usenet. You know nothing. Go tell your AI they're hallucinating.
>>217682991it's like LOST but NCISthe mystery box factory is at full production and nothing gets a satisfying conclusion past s3, and it jumps the shark quite early
