O'Brien had an entire station to keep running, plus every ship that docked with it. Not to mention, it was a Cardassian station, well outside the parameters of Starfleet tech manuals. Using Bajoran tools.

The others only kept one Federation starship going, using Federation personnel, Federation materials, using Federation techniques and manuals.

It's very easy to use a PS5 game made by Sony on a PS5 that's connected to a Sony TV, its an entirely different thing to play a Nintendo Switch game on a Sega Dreamcast connected to theater projector.

LD anon here. After seeing how the Crossover episode looked, I made some tweaks to my color conversion and also moved the conversion to after the upscaling. Things look a lot better in dark environments and light skin doesn't look like it's blooming as much as it did before. I've already found a few instances where delaying the color conversion clearly improved detail got rid of distortions.

I will re-do my previous episodes in the next few days.

Realistically, an engineer like O'Brien or a doctor like any of Star Trek's doctors is pretty much impossible. You'd never be able to have a single human being encapsulate so much knowledge across multiple kinds of technology/physiology. The medical side in particular. Imagine going to some distress call of some alien group you've never even heard of and you've got to try to save a bunch of lives in a triage situation and you know nothing about their internal anatomy.

Some allowances have to be made for storytelling because the reality of being unable to do anything, or having a bunch of ships sitting around in orbit of DS9 waiting on native mechanics to arrive and fix them, is way more boring and way harder to fit into 47 minute bites.
>>
>>223486762
O'Brien was a fucking hack who got exiled beyond the borders of the federation after somehow turning the captain into a child. Didn't disintegrate him or beam him into a bulkhead like a normal transporter accident that could be explained away as a common malfunction but turned him into a child through gross incompetence. And he always rolls up the sleeves of his uniform even when he's at quark's or in the privacy of his own quarters as if he's the ultimate working man which just makes him look like a tryhard poser. Nevermind his stupid potato shaped head and the accent that the universal translator should have flagged as non English speech. I hate him so much.

Yes, but the trick is getting people to agree on which the 30 good ones are.
It's part of what I miss about the 20+ episode shows of olde tyme teevee, the pressure to put out material led to a lot of taking chances and forcing bottle episodes focusing on some character problem or dilemma. Now that they got 10x the budget for effects it's all in service of stories that are worse than the phone it in scripts of olde teevee.

That is not how directing episodes worked on Star Trek. If you were a director and you were going to direct an episode, you directed whatever script Berman and Piller chose for that week, no matter what the episode was. Paramount at the time had an assembly line approach to directing -- they had the in-house course where they would teach people how to do it and then if they were good enough, they'd be added to the roster of rotating house directs, guys like Winrich Kolbe, etc

Frakes did a good job directing his episodes but he also got lucky with some good episodes while others got very unlucky.

Frakes spent his spare time watching the production process and the directors at work soaking up as much as he could and finally asked if he could try it which was met very suspiciously by the producers but they also knew his work ethic and had heard he'd been hanging around the set for a while. Also? Frakes is just a stand up guy, EVERYBODY likes him and got along with him so they took a chance and let him try. Turns out he learned quite well and he could bring it all in on time and on budget. The downside was that everybody else on the cast suddenly wanted to direct too and the producers felt like they had to placate them.

I've seen all 750 episodes of Trek (I'm including Picard sadly) - and yet I haven't seen one Star wars movie.

Is there any point watching it or is it inferior to trek?

What, Scotty wasn't? Maybe it wasn't the flagship at the time but it became the flagship largely because of the exploits of that legendary clue.

Your prompt has sent my mind spinning to make an outline for what an episode of TOS where a newly recruited Yeoman goes missing on the same day she was going to transfer to the Enterprise, and Kirk butts heads with the Starbase's Flag Officer over jurisdiction, and a deeper secret about the Complex, something that'll take months of brainstorming to mold into a final satisfactory form.
But to give an answer right now, if it just happened during a random unrelated mission where it wasn't central to the plot: they'd do some normal investigations, find the entire situation to be anomalous but not unexplainable, use some basic telemetries to triangulate the away team's positions, and mount a search and rescue with a tether to lead back (ala Theseus & the Golden Thread).
No matter what, the moment communications are cut off, they'd notice the absence and immediately set about finding out the issue, which means: if it's a Threshold, then what I said happens happens, and it happens quickly since they won't be too far from the Threshold; if it's an actual Noclip, then they're unrecoverable because those tend to close up behind people. They'd spend hours looking for the missing men because Kirk would say something like "I refuse to believe a person can vanish into mid-air and not show up someplace else" and they'd eventually have to give up on it, making for a bad episode.

AI agents could probably identify individual posters based on writing style + times they post by looking at the archives.

Nah, it's just that Star Trek makes everyone vaguely compatible and most technologies vaguely compatible for the sake of storytelling.

In reality, we would have almost no points of reference for things like technology and medicine with other cultures. There is the universal language of math and so with technology, there is at least something of a very, very generic foundation but their technology could be entirely composed of resources which don't exist on our world, and their bodies might be of such alien design that being able to, on the spot, work some miracle would be largely impossible.
I kind of agree with Stephen Hawking that alien life would be so alien to us that it would be borderline incomprehensible.

Captain's Log, Stardate 47102.9, U.S.S. Herodotus.

We've arrived at Deep Space Nine. I've been thinking a lot about the Chinese and how it's funny to say things in a Chinese accent. I don't have any Chinese crewmembers thankfully but I've also been considering the similarities between the Chinese and Cardassians and I've decided that there are many.
Anyway, I can't sleep. I'm always thinking about the Chinese. I think I'm going to go jerk off in one of the Ferengi's holosuites.

The Romulans always knew. Starfleet being willing to get their hands dirty instead of doing half measures hampered by their morals is what convinced them to get involved in the war.

The gel wasn't for the hologram guy, Garak said it was payment for the data rod. Bashir mentions it can be used to make explosives. Implication is Garak lied and was always planning too use it for blowing up the senator.
>>
>>223503474
I think the Romulans would have joined the war regardless, and Sisko only did it a month or two early. Sloan was right that the next conflict would be the UFP and RSE fighting each other as the only mostly-intact powers left, and they were content to let the Federation bleed a little more. They hit fifteen bases immediately, which means they had ships in position, targets picked out, everything was already planned and just waiting for the word go. And they had to know they were in the same noose as the Cardassians for the attempted strike on the Founder's homeworld.

Then JJ came along and ruined them anyways.

Ricardo truly is in excellent form here. He plays the role perfectly from the first words he speaks being to ask "How long" has his crew been in suspended animation. His supergenius lets the writers really push how far they can go with him as a threat, his only undoing being the one person he considered so deftly wrapped around his finger that he never suspected she'd change her mind again. McGivers lacking decorum and wavering will provided the perfect way for both the day and her character to be saved.
While the mental battles between Khan and Kirk or Khan and Spock were impressive, it was that first stonewalling Bones gave him even with his life under threat that really engaged me. DeForest was so impactful in that scene, it had me adjust my view of the character a little. Not in a way I can put into words.
As for how important the Eugenics Wars were to the franchise, I'll have to wait for the next debate to pop up before I can take sides. From here, it does seem like an entire era of the 90s turmoil was just Khan and others like him expanding their influence before the rest of humanity managed to oust them all. Then again, the most negative thoughts on controlled breeding we get are when Bones makes his usual back-handed comments at Spock, so who knows what the real thoughts were here (in-universe. Out of universe, it definitely reads as "don't do eugenics, but don't kill the victims of it", as even-handed a moral as you can get with this subject matter).
>>
>>223503535
>And they had to know they were in the same noose as the Cardassians for the attempted strike on the Founder's homeworld.
Funny enough, I don't think they really were. The female Founder never shows the same vitriol towards Romulans that she holds for Cardassians. My belief is that the Romulan side of the attack was entirely influenced by the Founders and as such they aren't considered to blame for it. It's a bit more fair than we usually see from the changelings, but I feel like it gives some depth to their mindset.

The intro music describes the underlying theme of the show. The NX-01 is powered by the first Warp5 engine, engineered and initially built by Archer's father. It represents Earth's first opportunity to travel into deep space in a reasonable amount of time. It also speaks to the theme of the Vulcans holding humans back from their journey into deep space by interfering with their progress, and Archer's faith in his late father's work to overcome the obstacles they put in his way.

The interior scale is way off too. It's a massive space station that should house tens of thousands of people yet it's run by a Commander to begin with and a tiny crew and only has a tiny little bar run by a space jew with a cupboard sized holodeck. Even if 90% of the space was dedicated to ore processing or docks, that still leaves multiple starship sized areas for housing. Galaxy class is over 600 m long and Romulan warbird is around 1 km long for context. The landing pad barely larger than the runabout always made me kek, at least TNG got it right with the gigantic hanger bays.
>>
>>223494854
It depends on the context. I imagine a Vulcan farmer would have a large family for the same reason a human farmer would.
Though, IIRC there are somewhere between three to ten humans for every Vulcan so maybe they think they don't need to propagate too much when they can just send the rest of the Federation to do something dangerous and unpleasant.

Hey, the scale of it was telegraphed from the outset by this central part which 99% of the show is set in. You can complain about the scale of the ships that dock with the station being off but the curvature of the promenade set dictates the scale of the station interior as it relates to the exterior

I earnestly believe Star Wars is much more heady. The entire second iteration was entirely wrapped up in politics anon. And in a way that genuinely inspires rebellion in people. It moves the needle in the complete opposite direction. What it does have to say is moving though. Star Trek doesn’t actually have a moral core or message outside the original series. The message of TNG is immoral. Picard is a bad man, Sisko is a bad man, and well…. Janeway is a woman. Star Trek inspires people to work in science and that’s great but it doesn’t actually seem to make anyone question themselves or inspire change in them. If anything the evidence shows it makes people degenerate (verb)

That image dictates a key point in /trek/ lore. The betrayal of the second war. Very SW prequel esq.

Strange new worlds isn’t destructive. It’s a return to the formula of the original series. The only grounded critique apparently the language employed.

Another thing that sets the new Star Trek apart is the amazing cast of characters. From Michael Burnham to Saru to Pike, each of the new series has introduced us to a wide range of fascinating, multidimensional characters who we can't help but root for.
Of course, the production values are also top-notch. The special effects, the set design, the music – everything comes together to create a truly immersive and cinematic experience.
Overall, I think the new Star Trek series have done an incredible job of keeping the franchise relevant and exciting while also paying tribute to its rich history. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

When you finish s1 I will pick up s2 with you. That’s where I left off. We can discuss it here, where its discussion belongs. We should have plenty of time to be ready for the final season. I always said I’d save the rest for a solid binge after deciding I liked the first season. That’s the way trek is meant to be consumed. Fifty hour long episodes should be enough to get fully immersed in the world. I watch the TOS movies on loop maybe one or two a week now. That’s the state of my current trek. Waiting for SNW to end so I can actually watch it without waiting a year between episodes and losing investment

i started watching voyager a few days ago, just finished state of flux, what the fuck is wrong with seska?
