Federation Earth is a utopic paradise. That's why so many Human colonists would rather live on an empty planet far away from the control of the government.

What about other galaxies? Didn't the Enterprise go outside of the galaxy in the genius-Barclay episode?
>>217975879People will live in strange places because they want to. I don't understand why people live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere Nevada in the desert and yet people really want to.

>>217975901How accurate is this map? Isn't the Federation larger than the Romulan and Klingon empires?

>>217975955its missing an entire dimension so accurate doesnt even apply, the map part is missing
>>217975788/tv/, I'm here to relieve you of command of the /trek/ threads.
Eating crow rn watching ENT, how about you?
>>217975886I am getting stoned and watching TNG tonight. Because I deserve a comfy Saturday after wageslaving for another week.
>>217975955It looks like it's just pinpointing general locations relative to one another rather than charting empire boundaries, but idk.>>217975982Somebody must have made a 3D star chart by now, surely.
>>217975834>>217975788Who was more unhinged, Janeway or Dukat?
Odo should have been kept as a brooding incel rather than getting laid and eventually getting the girl
>>217976085You would honestly have a better time serving under Dukat than serving under Janeway
>>217976088The bad guys won the Dominion War
>>217976085Dukat became unhinged only because the writers hated how popular he had become. In reality, he did nothing wrong
>>217976085dukat went 6~ seasons of being one of the most rational plot players so insaneway obviously.
>>217976085>>217976105Janeway going through caffeine withdrawals is the stuff of nightmares. Scarier than anything else on this chart.
>>217976134>keiko>>>>>
>>217976088He finally went back to the Great Link. Doesn't that count as an ocean size orgy for life? Remember how "relieved" he was when he linked with the female changeling? Remember how she kept begging Odo to link?
>We had an empire to protect. We needed your resources. Everything I did was for the greater glory of Cardassia! And if you spineless scum had to be ground under, so much the better. All that mattered was Cardassia. I loved my homeland. That's what justified my actions, that's what gave me my strength.Is this the most based line of dialogue in all of Star Trek?
>>217976177if he believed it sure
>>217976177kinda rings hollow when he had already admitted he knowingly sold Cardassia to the Dominion
>>217976177We will never see this level of dialog again.
>>217976163It's obvious that linking is portrayed in a sexual light but wether or not it's actually a sexual experience for them has always been confusing for me for the exact same reason you mentioned. Are they just constantly having the equivalent of an orgy? I think that for humans it comes off as sexual and incredibly intimate, but for the changelings that's just their natural state so I feel like any sexual gratification that could come from it has probably lost it's appeal long ago.
>the ent virgin is back
>>217976194shhhhhhhh a man can dream
>>217976177I often wonder what Roddenberry would've said about things like this. All the stuff I love about DS9 I'm sure he would not have allowed.
>>217976212Succession was the last show to have otherworldly dialogue. Now everything is made with the intention of being reposted to social media. Most shows are written at a sixth grade reading level. You are actively mocked for having a large vocabulary.>>217976229
>>217976116unappreciated man
>>217976177I was laughing at one of the bits in I, Borg>DATA: The Borg are extremely computer dependent. A systems failure will destroy them.>CRUSHER: I just think we should be plain about that. We're talking about annihilating an entire race.>PICARD: Which under most circumstances would be unconscionable. But as I see it, the Borg leave us with little choice.>RIKER: I agree. We're at war.>CRUSHER: There's been no formal declaration of war.>TROI: Not from us, but certainly from them. They've attacked us in every encounter.>PICARD: They've declared war on our way of life. We are to be assimilated.>CRUSHER: But even in war there are rules. You don't kill civilians indiscriminately.>RIKER: There are no civilians among the Borg.
>>217976249Roddenberry is a weird case because many of his ideas I really love but iI also think his absence was a net positive for the franchise (at least in the short term before it all went to shit). I will always stand by Roddenberry's insistence that the UFP is moneyless and the fact that the writers pushed back on that shows a severe lack of imagination on their end, his vision of the Federation in general I think was spot-on and should have been lived up to, when it came to personal character dynamics though he loses me, and his insistence that the UFP couldn't have ANY flaws at all was silly.
>>217976304I'll always find it funny (in a good way) how in most situations Picard was always trying to find a non-violent solution to problems, often to a fault, but when it came to the borg it was straight hellfire.
>>217976177
>>217976308When Kirk tells Scotty "You've earned your paycheck this week" was that just a figure of speech?
>>217976336He’d be a lot nicer I bet if the borg were microscopic and communicated by chemical clicks of irregular crystalline structures
>>217976367Yes
>>217976379#CrystallineLivesMatter
>>217976336>>217976379the extreme contrast is the crystalline entity doing exact same shit
>>217976367Roddenberry seems to have become obsessed with the concept of no money sometime around Voyage Home, i think that's the first time it's ever stated.
>>217976408I wonder if he was going through money problems around that time.
>>217976408>>217976437he was the greediest sleazy moneygrabbing shit, maybe just diving into denial
>>217976336>Centuries ago, when laboratory animals were used for experiments, scientists would sometimes become attached to the creatures. This would a problem if the experiment involved killing them. I would suggest that you unattach yourself from the Borg, Mister La Forge.
The humans really are holier than thou. >we’re not ready to join the federation now because we still have sectarian conflict>maybe we too can live in utopia if we practiced eugenics to weed out undesirables and then nuke the world back to 10 million people like you guys
>>217976467Also Picard>We must not kill the giant space monster that's going around eating planets!!!!!
>>217975901barclay brought them to the galactic center to meet the floating ghost headsthere's a fan theory that "god" from ST:V was the same species, but an outcast or criminal>>217975940they may have originated in another galaxy, but he spun the D to somewhere between the beta and delta quadrants iirc
>>217976485It’s a very east coast liberal attitude. You see the same thing today where you have people hashtagging MeToo while also simping for islam
>>217976211that's not dukat's line, it's "darheel's"
>>217976134Didn’t the captain that took over the enterprise while Picard was on the four lights mission unironically do nothing wrong? He didn’t order the mission, and his strategy was what got Picard rescued.
TNGnewfag and I just finished watching ‘the best of both worlds’ parts 1 and 2 and this felt like the most cinematic episode and story yet. I knew of the Borg prior to starting this and I guess I knew them from a later series or another show as they are a bit visually more bland in their design than what I’ve seen, but that didn’t change how threatening and creepy they are which we see though Picard. Him being aware, being unable to anything, shedding a tear and experiencing PTSD shows the terror of the Borg that didn’t need flashy pew pew actions scene to convey. Riker stands out as well as the man willing to step up after being comfortably number 1 and being ready to sacrifice himself to stop the Borg and it was nice character development with him and his temporal foil Shelby. I’m looking forward to seeing how this experience affects Picard and crew going forward after brushing with near death for all of Earth and crew and how they will adapt to the Borg again if they show up. Fun episode and onto season 4.
>>217976482A lot of people don't like Star Trek because of its Country Club attitude toward developing planets.>You savages don't deserve to be in our Federation of luxury and comfort. Go back to your sticks and mud huts. Maybe we'll give you another chance in 100 years, m'yes...
>>217976568no that's his line. actually technically it's Kira's like and he agrees with her.
>>217976367I would imagine so. If I had to guess, I'd say it was trying to be the future equivalent of saying someone's worth his salt in modern parlance - people aren't paid in salt anymore, but they used to be. In star trek, people used to be paid with a paycheck, but not anymore.
>>217976596Wolf 359 has lasting impact as well, over 40 ships lost and thousands of crew with them. It took Starfleet a while to recover to their previous strength, the Borg really fucked them up for a while, and it was a single cube.
>>217976626>>217976568nvm I misunderstood u
>>217976398well one's an animal, basically a bear that's tasted human flesh, and the other is an entire existential threat hellbent on your destruction
>>217976640no problem :)
>>217976596>>217976634wolf359 fucks the feddies and they spent years sucking picard's dick to pretend he wasn't still kind of responsible. i like that the broken federation sort of logically flowed to more automated, smaller ship designs though giving us the defiant and voyager and prometheus.
>>217976634Yeah seeing the graveyard of ships was something I forgot to mention as I did wonder how much of that was the backbone of their military power and I wondered how it will affect Starfleets ability to project military especially if they are in some sort of Cold War with the Romulans. Also one of the ships that was destroyed was the USS Melbourne which was suggested as a post for Riker to captain. Our bearded boy could’ve been blown up
>>217976696it is heavily implied ships can be mass produced easily but we know starfleet officer progression is extremely slow. ds9's premise is basically begging sisko to not resign because they're super duper fucked for command officers.
>>217976678:)
if there's no money how does booze work on board the TNG enterprise? you can replicate as much synthohol as you want, but there's a limited supply of real alcohol. do you earn good crewman points to get a drink?
>>217976741picard's got a (protected) vinyard, how does that get distributed?
>>217976732>ds9's premise is basically begging sisko to not resign because they're super duper fucked for command officers.Not to mention the loss he suffered at Wolf 359, it was neat to see the battle from his perspective there at the beginning.
>>217976741Hit on/be friends with Guinan. Acquire personal belongings for trade, especially latinum
>>217976741Officers and crew have Replicator Credits, replicators can only replicate synthehol, so if you want some of the real stuff you have to trade for it or get it while you are on shore leave.
>>217976762for that matter, on VOY it's established that you actually can replicate real alcohol on board a federation starship. is that like a double replicator ration or something? why is everyone on TNG a teetotaling nerd?
>>217976762Picard's vineyard is an historical site.
>>217976741>do you earn good crewman points to get a drink?I imagine the bar and Holodeck run on a token system. You earn tokens based on performance and can spend them on synthehol or Holodeck time. And the Holodeck is extremely expensive unless you serve on the Bridge.
>>217976741>>217976825i suspect the CREW quarters/mess areas only do synthehol but i bet civilian and like shore leave accessible replicators are probably unlocked. guest ambassadors and shit may be able to get anything, certainly they'd have religious exempt shit too.>>217976832thats what i meant by protected, like the UNESCO stuff. still he creates alcohol, who decides where it goes and how?
>>217976732>it is heavily implied ships can be mass produced easilyYou should be able to replicate parts easily, but you still need engineers to install and assemble sensitive systems. I wonder how the hulls are built, replicating huge sections and assembling in orbital drydock? Could you just build a replicator large enough to just 'print' the base of a starship in seconds?
>>217976864Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars do this. But you also need to think about training and manning all of those ships.
>>217976864i imagine that a lot of that assembly is actually automated somehow, maybe replicated. judging by TOS films we see scotty and his boys doing the finishing work themselves not some drydock fags like that utopia planetia suicide.
>>217976861>he creates alcohol, who decides where it goes and how?There's a pretty big market for alcohol since synthohol tastes different.
>>217976908a demand surely but a market based on what?
The Federation is a Luciferian Org and the Picard bloodline is important because his ancestors helped them seize power. Look into it.
>>217976926other races that trade with the federation still use moneyin any case, the "no money" angle only works if you dont think about it and limit it to core federation worlds at the most
>>217976926sexual violence
>>217975901In the original series they leave the galaxy at least twice IIRC. There’s a barrier they have to push through that nearly destroys them each time. The original series is also completely off the wall compared to the rest of the series, most of the classic Star Trek tropes/rules don’t even show up until S2, and they’re not nearly as well thought out, it’s fun to see the origins of an idea they do better later
>>217976985
>>217976985>The original series is also completely off the wallit's very pulpy sci-fi with things like robots and ray guns and little green men, almost like the jetsons or lost in space, compared to later series that try to make it more grounded sci-fi that takes itself a little more seriously
>>217977042>more grounded sci-fi that takes itself a little more seriously
>>217976762I imagine stuff like the vineyard and the restaurant Sisko's dad owns just function as very large hobbies, they're passion projects, they probably just give people the wine as a gift, or they just tend to the vineyard as a hobby. I like to assume that the federation works off the logic that as long as you are using something you are allowed control over it, so if the picard's were to ever move or go off world perhaps someone would take over, The Culture novels have something like that in their society.
>>217977068He said a little for a reason
>>217977068>extreme outlier
>>217975788>nooo, you can't admit other planets into the Federation, that's expansionism!>we were planning on conquering those planets and now we can't
>>217977333What kid is going to want a conference room for their characters to sit around and discuss space geopolitics and ethical dilemmas?
>>217976985TOS season one canon really shouldn't be taken seriously. I don't even think they had Starfleet down as a concept. They certainly didn't have a series Bible that today's shows all use for their worldbuilding.
>>217977393the kind of kid that liked next generation
>>217977398TOS has been so heavily contradicted by everything that came after it, it's canonicity at this point is questionable, TNG essentially serves a soft reboot.
>>217977398Today's shows are absolute shit. Maybe they should worry more about telling compelling stories and less about slavish devotion to continuity that they only do to appease continuity nerds who you shouldn't be trying to appeal to anyway.
>>217977479The 10 hour movie model killed television. Go back to TNG/DS9 and you'll see how razor tight the pacing is. Not one scene or line goes to waste.
>>217977398>muh worldbuilding
>>217977519>The 10 hour movie model killed television.Truly
>>217977541Adding "muh" to something doesn't invalidate its importance.
>>217977666Muh triple sixes
>>217977666I absolutely do not believe quote unquote worldbuilding is important at all to good storytelling. Some good stories have good worldbuilding, some bad ones have worldbuilding, some good stories have no worldbuilding. It is not some kind of special sauce that's absolutely necessary to a good story.
>>217976134>No Colonel Green, literal savior of humanity You disgust me.
>>217977519So there is this thing called the four act structure. They used to pace this shit out with commercial breaks, but now they make the entire four act structure stretch across entire seasons instead of just one episode. It is FUCKED.
>>217977816What if instead of worldbuilding we went and used verisimilitude instead?
>>217977857Ah, I see you've anticipated my denouement Commander
>>217977894At least you'd be using a real word and not some modern Orwellian shit word.
Time for some Kishotenketsu Trek
>>217977816thinking like that is why 90% of stories nowadays suck dick
>>217977951When I use actual literary terms to talk about screenwriting you guys usually make fun of me.
>>217978009being a snob on 4chan is like being a snob in waffle housewe're all on the same level for being here, there's no dressing up from it
>>217977857The average two parter would be a season long arc with the crew all separated into their B,C, and D plots. Imagine a three episode stretch of Data working at a saloon during the Time's Arrow season. It would be fun at first but quickly wear thin.
>>217978009I actually rarely post because so much of the posting is just argumentative. My gripe with worldbuilding as a concept is that it treats the audience like it's stupid. Like the continuity Bible nonsense that someone mentioned. I am not good enough with words to exactly say what I want to say, but I'm thinking of like very simple stories. Something like Home Alone doesn't need "worldbuilding" because the audience already knows the world. I would argue that science fiction suffers from too much of "explaining the environment." You can put the environment into the background details, but don't waste my time and treat me like my IQ is 95. You have to give the audience credit for being intelligent enough to keep up. Good story, plot points, and tight screenwriting are far far far more important than background details if you're trying to tell a story that evokes a feeling in the audience. I don't care about the faggots replying to me that I'm a retard. Fuck you. I know you'll read this. Fuck you for everything. The way a story makes you feel has almost NOTHING to do with whether or not you understand why Jar Jar Binks is allowed to call for a vote to give emergency powers to Palpatine. Fuck the prequels. People talk about "worldbuilding" and don't even explain what they mean by it. Is it robots on wheels playing robot football on a TV in the background of the bar where the guy is selling death sticks and the lady is in the thong pants? That's not world building, that's lazy filler because the STORY being told is boring and uninteresting. Once again as I am not a gifted writer I cannot quite say what I mean, but basically nobody ever even explains what they mean by worldbuilding and it's a buzzword and it's bullshit and filling your universe with a bunch of extra background bullshit doesn't make up for the lack of narrative skill.
>>217976134>Skin of EvilHe was a childish adult I guess
>>217978274It was a being created out of pure Evil and then abandoned by the species that created it who did absolutely nothing to warn or contain it to the planet. What exactly was it supposed to do?
>>217978246lol you sound like you were home schooled
>>217978103Enterprise did that in season 3. I wanted voyager to do it after Year of Hell and the ship was destroyed. Having a bunch of odd couple pairings in escape pods going on their own separate little misadventures and then reuniting the crew at the end with a bunch of new shit.
>>217977857theres 5 acts
>>217978246Imagine writing out a wall of text explaining how ignorant you are without realizing it. You know you can just google what worldbuilding is it you don't innately understand it from a lifetime of cultural osmosis and context clues, right?
>>217976295>SuccessionI watched the first ep and didn't feel the need to watch more, didn't feel like anything special? Am I missing something?
>>217976044I liked that scene when she was actually taken back by Picard offering tea or whatever. Showed kind of a "I know I've been a bitch but that's the job, I appreciate the olive branch." Stuff like that made me think there would be a sense of professionalism in the workforce. Then I got to working and realized its literally just high school but with money.
Time is a flat circle
Watching Redemption I; Picard is such an insufferable cunt in this. The worst and most unreasonable he'd been.
hello /trek/happy valentine's dayi don't love you like I used to but we had fun

I've noticed a lot of the well-regarded TNG eps are just character-driven life event dramas with a sci-fi backdrop. It's not a bad thing, but it's interesting how a lot of them could fit in a completely different show. Probably why it's so widely beloved.
>>217978544That's why I left to work for myself. I don't hate work I just hate dealing with highschool level drama. Anyways I'm rewatching DS9 since I've only seen it on TV here and there. It's fucking kino.
>>217979076
>>217979246You don't get it.
>>217978527Episode four or five is where it gets really good but the ending is divisive. I say give it another shot if you like the Shakespearean patter of Berman Trek.
>>217979246I just watch to find out how FFFAST the ship is going. I hate DSN.
>DSNintruder alert
>>217979256Its a lot of fun. I still absolutely hate that stupid cunt face terrorist bitch. "ohhh look I'm sticking my teeth out of my jaw like Alien, I'm ACTING" "Miles don't worry about your family, the prophets will look out for them just like they did for my peo-" I skip her episodes they're so awful.
>>217979282My favorite Start Track character is Gay Rick.
>>217978544Picard likes strong women, that's why he pumps and dumps every interstellar ho who throws her panties at him. Set course for intercourse.
>>217979282Why are gays hijacking Bashir and Garak? They aren't gay and never were, not that there's anything wrong with it.
>end of the TNG scotty episode>scotty shakes everyone's hand except worf, they just glare at each otherthe grudges go deep i guess
>>217979564Because the hack Jew writer and people who funded the DS9 "documentary" (commercial) decided it.
>>217979564Unlike Star Wars where Qui-Gon and Jar Jar were gay from the start.
>>217979564the first time they meet garak is clearly propositioning bashir for a sordid quickie in the promenade men's room
>>217975834Do you unironically follow Kate on Facebook?
>>217979589>people who funded the DS9 "documentary"Oh oh oh that's me. I am one of those people. Glad to know I have made a difference in the world.
>>217979576They were still rushing to Kithomer. Scotty didn't sabotage the engine. He's still pro-peace on a broader scale.
>>217979564bro they were acted as a gay couple, this was apparent to me as a kid before i even had a concept of what gay way, and i am a face blind autist, please
>>217979564
>>217979564i always thought garak being too chummy with bashir to his obvious discomfort was supposed to be a sort of ironic parallel to bashir doing the same to jadzia. surely that's what they were going for, right?
>>217979659Gays are distrusting, bitter, spiteful, and angry at the person they love? Fascinating.
This right here is totally heterosexual behavior.
>>217979659Even Sisko was supporting them as a couple from the beginning.>Commander, that creepy Cardassian tailor wants to make me a suit!>Is that so? I think you should take him up on his offer. You'd look good in a suit, doctor.
>>217979703Garak was clearly fucking with Bashir to make him uncomfortable since he was desperately trying to redeem the needful with Jadzia's bobs and vagene.
>>217979564garak acts touchy and flamboyant in his first meeting with bashir, that's literally it
>>217979564Fags feel a need to infiltrate and ruin everything they possibly can.
>>217979716it's called foreplay bro, you might've heard of it
>>217979735I wouldn't expect a woman to understand, they see all male friendship as homosexual.
>>217979070Imagine if we brought in some UN guy from Zimbabwe to arbitrate the presidency in a disputed election. He really shouldn’t even have been there
With the DS9 episode in ACK it seems like the writers were claiming DS9 for Africa. They took something that was for everyone and built a fence around it. Even Cirroc Lofton didn't understand that "the only captain ever to hit a Q" was not intended to be "cool".THANK YOU AVERY BLACKMANwhat a dividing shitshow
>>217979775I'm sure you cork your bros holes up all the time.
>>217979716garak told bashir the truth multiple times

>>217979775 men do gay shit as a joke. Even white men like myself. 3am hijinks after a rager we do be snuggling something fierce
>>217979880I've never been there, but I've certainly smelled it on several occasions.
>>217979076>Happy Valentine's Day. I still love you~You're BPD. None of your emotions are valid. You're the emotional equivalent of an LLM just spouting off whatever in the moment.
>>217979908Really? What does he smell like?
>>217979782It’s very niggerly to punch Q tbhonest. Was definitely a choice for the first black captain
>>217979681>typo>ai slop
>>217979920Yeah well at least I don't watch shitty cartoons.
>>217979939blinding rage is the only normal response there can be to Q's bullshit
>>217979935I spent 7 years inside of Tom Paris and came out smelling like roses
>>217979977he wasn't in a blind rage he let Q hit him in the fact like twice then returned a punch and wasn't even actually mad. he rolled his eyes at Q and was like "I'm not Picard" and that was it.
>>217975834
>>217979977Actual groveling and begging him to make you immortal is the only correct response to a Q encounter
>Q meets Picard>"Humanity is a childish, violent, angry race that cannot be allowed outside of their local space">Picard goes through trials to prove Q wrong>Q meets Sisko>Gets punched in the facehttps://youtu.be/CQeezCdF4mk

>>217979659He’s supposed to be devious, conniving, which is an effeminate characteristic. Like a Chinese eunuch or faggy Bond villain. Gays literally fought the last 50 years to have that particular media trope dissociated with them lol.
>>217980031He is unlikely to do that except as a monkey's paw but I don't understand why every captain was an asshole to him. Even Picard should have gotten over the trial thing.
>>217980134Nobody is afraid of AI. Some people just find it to be incredibly lazy and low effort. If anybody is actually afraid of AI it's the environmentalists.
>>217980185The episode where he takes them to the borg would literally have never happened if Picard had just been a little more polite. 18 people died and Q bring them back as soon as Picard says sorry.
>>217980120In this dark winterI remind you you're a fagNo season reference
>>217980198I'm afraid but eh win some lose some amirite
>>217980228See, you're confusing mora with syllables again.
>>217978371You have already admitted it's evil, one need not expect it to do anything but be evil.
>>217980317Put a fuckin' sign up "PLANET EVIL: BEWARE" or somethin' for fuck's sake.
>>217980145thats a shame the chinese eunuch is such a kino archetype
>>217980270What does odo's dad have to do with any of this?
>>217980450I'm sure its easy for you to relate to a character that doesn't have sex either.
>>217980497i have a wife anon
>>217980497You underestimate us.
>>217980523>Anon
Y'know what? It's Valentine's day. Bashirfaggot, if you are under 150lbs, I'll be an unappreciated man and I will insert my penis inside of you.
>>217980555what did he mean by this
>>217980597Woah there what if I am like 5ft 3?
>>217980643If you are over 150lbs I'd rather have sex with my freshly kneaded homemade bread dough.
>letting /trek/'s penish inside youno
>>217980610>blocks my tripcode but not my postsWhy?
Happy Valentines Day
>>217978470THERE ARE ONLY 4 ACTS
>>217980396
>>217980664I'm just saying if I was like 5'3" and 130lbs I would still be overweight. Scale is important here in /trek/.
SOME OTHER CREWMAN ON SOME OTHER HOLODECK IS MR PINK
>>2179807655'3" and 130 is perfect for one hand use, send location.
>>217980134>Tsk, I didn't expect people afraid of eating fecal matter to be in restaurants. Tsk, I am so much more enlightened than everyone else.>*shovels poop down throat*>In this moment, I am euphoric.Unironically kill yourself
>>217980765Depends on body composition. If you were a low %BF (so to speak) athlete then it would be acceptable. What's your deadlift anon?
>>217980797My location is a truck stop bathroom fucking >>217980523 wife.
>>217980831lol beefaronus is an actual lezzie dyke
Can you teleport a changling inside a person who then transforms into a filament that wraps throughout their body and puppets them like a marionette?
>>217980035>Q harasses Picard for seven years with almost no consequences>The first time he tries that with Sisko he runs off tail between his legs
>>217980900like a true bully and faggot he only enjoys picking on people who won't stand up to him
>>217980807Nice virtue signaling.
>>217980927>I don't know what words mean but I hear grown-ups saying themOk poop eater
>>217980900To be fair, Picard being so endearing had managed to make Q soften up quite a bit. Pre-TNG Q would've probably snapped Deep Space 9 into another quadrant and sent Sisko back to Mississippi circa 1820.
God damn this franchise is stale and dead, why are we even here anymore
>>217980666I've got a 4 inch Ferengi Tube Grub that will leave you screaming so loud they would hear you on top of the Tower of Commerce.
>>217981067enjoying the good stuff while making fun of the badmore good would be nice, but it's not gonna happen for at least another 5, 10 years minimum, so we talk about the good stuff with newfrens and make fun of tourists with shit taste who like the nuslop
>>217981102>average Ferengi porn dialogue
>>217981141yeah that was the joke. good job
>>217978246I agree with you completely. Don't let those other two retards get you downA great example of something that just puts a character in places, describes them, but doesn't spend a ton of time on exposition about factions and borders and peoples and whatnot is Gene Wolfe's New Sun stuff.I've always liked that about Wolfe's writing, that he doesn't let the details get in the way of a good story.
>>217980666No one asked your permission. We are >aggressive. adversarial
>The smells, the sounds, the very touch of things, much more real than a dream.
Just rewatched Call to Arms>We can't spare a single starship for the most strategically important location in the quadrant to defend against the greatest threat to the federation and deter a galactic war because... well, uh... we're busy and it's classified, ok?Now that's what I call bullshit
>>217981472Starfleet command was already infiltrated by shapeshifters and making retarded decisions on purpose.
>>217975788listen all y'all this is sabotage
>>217976116They twisted him into some pseudo supremacist bullshit to try to make people really hate him, despite him developing a fetish for a particular bajoran pussy. Even his mutt daughter was killed off to keep the love interest spy in closet gay status, and that cardassians and bajorans shouldn't mix. So many weird writing decisions. Still, he was definitely the most entertaining part of the show. Loved his smug attitude.
Aye laddy, be straight from thee emerelld aisles tha wee lass mi mudder gawt rest her sovwl
The dominion would have been better if they didn’t have cartoonishly evil moments. Like if Bajor and Cardassia were quantifiably more prosperous under them, and it was similar in outcome to the federation but by way of imperialism
got my bottle of kanar and some ketracel whitenothing wrong on a saturday night
>>217982297nothing wrong, nothing wrong
>cook a nice full course meal for the course of 20 min>finally settle down to eat it, while queuing up some trek to watch>get nice and cozy>immediately have to void bowels before I can even start eating or watchingevery fucking time. getting older sucks bros.
>>217982345Empty that love tunnel for me bb, I'll be over before you can say Pon Farr
Happy Valentine's day to all my JC chads out there
>>217982399>boners of my ancestors gets cockblocked by a lil monki fella>not even an alien monki, just a lil monki
>>217976907>>217976894You'd probably have to replicate the whole hull in one piece or make sections and assemble them manually. I doubt you could get huge pieces of durasteel to weld using a replicator/transporter.
>>217976304>>217976336Treating the borg as a race with rights is retarded, it's a rogue hivemind with no real goal beyond infinite growth that would destroy the galaxy if unchallenged. It's like if you were fighting for the rights of a zombie plague.
>>217982859>with no real goal beyond infinite growthIs this not the goal of life itself?
Akoocheemoya
>>217976336It's hardly surprising that Picard doesn't harbor much sympathy for the unfeeling alien hivemind that assimilated him one time and then used him as its spokesman while murdering a shit ton of starfleet personnel.
>>217982399They used that same wall sconce in ENTI swear there were some in B5 too
>>217982856>I doubt you could get huge pieces of durasteel to weld using a replicator/transporter.why not? you just transport the pieces together so they're molecular bonded
>>217979564It's just funny
>>217979224Same
>>217979564Retards are literally incapable of interpreting any close male relationship as anything other than sexual, which is why gay shipping of random characters is so common, and then the creators after the fact decided to claim that "ACKSHUALLY WE TOTALLY DEFINITELY MEANT FOR THEM TO BE GAY FOR EACH OTHER THE WHOLE TIME, YOU GUESSED IT AND WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT JUST SAYING THINGS THAT WILL SCORE US FAG BROWNIE POINTS ONLINE"
>>217980695Was that episode supposed to hit hard emotionally? Because it didnt do anything for me. The one where Riker ends up in a mental institution was unsettling though.
>>217982859In the context of the episode it's simply a moral dilemma to set the stage for Hugh.I just laughed because the setup is>Maybe we should try genocide?
>>217983500>Retards are literally incapable of interpreting any close male relationship as anything other than sexual, which is why gay shipping of random characters is so commonDon't over think it, anon, it's just women being women.
>>217983181Archer was such a shitty pet owner
>>217983414Wouldn't you have to demolecularize the thing you want to weld to, at least at the spot you want bonded? I'd think it'd be easier to replicate an entire ship's skeleton in one piece then move big pieces to place bit by bit.
>>217982914Sentient life has more goals than simple self-replication. The Borg are frightening because they abandoned those and only replicate for replication's sake, all else stripped away.
>>217983591Anon that's exactly what I said
>>217983720they seek perfection
>>217983520>picliterally me a month agothank god that's over with
>>217983685I don't see why you'd need to. They make mention of not wanting to materialize inside a rock on multiple occasions when the transport situation is dicey
>>217983743Yet lack a defined benchmark for what that is.Excepting Seven seeing 'perfection' briefly in that one episode.Unchecked I can envision the Borg plague spreading throughout the local galactic cluster in another 1000 years or so, probably faster with transwarp bullshit.>>217983806I just mean that you want weld points solid as fuck for a starship, idk how you'd utilize a replicator to fuse one piece to another. Can't have a weld fail when the ship is barreling through the upper atmosphere of a gas giant after all.
>>217983500It's a genx thingI'm genx and for us the expression of male friendship is insulting each other and helping each other move heavy objects aka bants and being there for each other but only in extremiseverything else is gay (not that there's anything wrong with that)>t. moved three solid wood card catalog for my fucking faggot friends
>>217975879>you now remember that one chunky colonist bitch who told Riker she was dtf right before being consumed by the Crystalline Entity
>>217983720Sentient life is sn infinitesimally small proportion of life in general. We assume a Modernist approach that intelligence is a goal or pinnacle of evolution but it's not. Even in universe we see that with Threshold
>>217975982the galaxy is a disc shape so while you’re right it’s missing a dimension I think we can forgive them for using 2d
>>217983912NTA,And the 'Modernist Approach' is correct.
>>217983894bet that wasn't all the wood you handled that day, cupcake
>>217983912In universe, evolution has a clear pinnacle which is energy being > godlike entity > Q, all of which require intelligence as a goal to get there
>>217983935You. I like you. Hit me up next time you need someone to move a sofa, you cocksucking fairy.
>>217983945>all of which require intelligence as a goal to get thereNot necessarily. In terms of biomass utilizing energy the fungi and bacteria are smoking us
>>217976134Did he do anything wrong? What's the verdict, /trek/?
>>217983978His episode sucked
>>217983975In universe intelligence is definitely required to evolve into a Q-like entity bro, dont know what to tell you
>>217983743marxist perfectionno hierarchy only infinitely flattened equality
>>217983978TNG would have been interesting with him as Riker. I think he would have at least not gotten fat.
>>217983993Why does life *need* to evolve into a q-like entity?
>>217983997gib Bev gilf gf
>>217984014best I can do is nahla alke, hope you're a foot fag
>>217984004because if you dont, they might kill you
>>217984004Who cares? What matters is that they DID. There's no "needs to" and "should" in science, there is only what IS. Dumb redditor.
>>217984096The Q happened to. Not all life does. That's idiosyncratic to each planet.
>>217984050Peak Troi
>>217984107no argument equals concession
>>217984050Out of all the Trek Plinketisms, the one that hits hardest is when Mike noticed Marina Sirtis stopped acting like Deanna Troi and just started acting like Marina Sirtis.That, and "HE'S THE BALD CAPTAIN"
Being All Powerful God >> >> > > > > > existing as anything else.
>>217983978Too outrageous.
>>217984107>First ancestral race seeds empty galaxy>humanoid life flourishes>humanoids evolve to transcend physical boundries>galaxy fills with ubermensch energy lifeforms>lesser lifeforms warp around in ignoranceSeems logical to me, Captain.
>>217984235>getting Worf’s sloppy secondsoh ok
>>217984256That logic doesn't even make sense. Riker dicked her for years, Worf took HIS sloppy seconds.
>>217984295Forgot she was in SG-1
>>217984118ENT Troi was pretty good too
>>217984267yeah and?
>>217984326True
>>217984316Same
NEW>>217984303>>217984303>>217984303
>>217983978He didn't become a recurring character.
>>217983884>I just mean that you want weld points solid as fuck for a starship, idk how you'd utilize a replicator to fuse one piece to anotheryou just replicate plates and then beam one plate's edge into the edge of another so they end up as the same piece
>>217983978he should've played future wesley instead of chad thundercock
