>>223790141Picard is dressed like some sort of intergalactic evil warlord here. Very Federation. Love the colors.
I think it's weird that a hologram would be so pissy about simply being used "too much." It's not like he's real and has better shit to do.

>>223790141The Space Gestapo/Starship Troopers movie look on the left is definitely a good choice for a democratic organization like the Federation and is not all generic.
>>223790188His personality was modeled off of a very unpleasant man. It's a plot point that is regularly discussed.
>>223790216Doctors don't generally complain to their patients about how they're not being used correctly and lacking in resources. If he's based on 47 doctors or whatever it's a mystery to me how that became a predominate aspect of his personality

>>223790141>>223790818I think Picard season 2 was altogether the worst star trek ever put to sceen, which was quite the task coming after Picard S1.Maybe even STD beats it but I only saw 5 episodes of that.
alright guys. I'm watching Lower Decks while eating a vegan burger.
Ensigns should not be stacking crates.That is enlisted work. Ensigns are junior officers.
How does this plot point about Nog being illiterate make any sense? How are the Ferengi supposed to conduct their business without reading and writing contracts and purchase orders? If anything, I could see Federation civilians like Jake not necessarily having a need for reading if there are verbal computer interfaces for literally everything

I got this new recipe from the Arab marketplace near my house and was pretty excited to try it. I spent about an hour making the dish and then when I sampled the finished product it was as bland as bland could be. I spent another 40ish minutes pulling out everything I could from my cupboards to salvage the thing, and eventually I added some of the wrong kind of yeast and turned the whole thing from bland to completely unpalatable. An entire evening down the drain that could've been spent watching tonight's episode Metamorphosis... well, there's still time for that.See you in an hour or so.
Why this nigga so butthurt?
>>223796006Written by the great Gene Coon, another masterpiece to expand the galaxy's past out more. Zefram as a man out of time with the time he created is a really interesting way to characterize him, that "totally parochial attitude" Spock observes. As interesting as it is, I'm glad that it doesn't take precedent over the romance between him and the Companion, which is such a glorious thing once she has integrated with Commissioner Hedford and is able to experience the full breadth of human emotion. Not to imply the previous 150 years that we get a glimpse of weren't also very charming. All those scenes of Zefram standing at the edge of his backyard and letting her energy cone envelope him are so beautifully shot, and the choice of filming the bottom of a partially-filled kiddie-pool to make the unique pattern gives her a sense of innocence. Though this choice does end up clashing a little when she gets angry, turns a deep red, and starts choking out Kirk & Spock.The closer to the episode being "hey, what about that war she was gonna stop?" is so hilarious, how cavalier Kirk is over just finding a replacement to handle things. However, reading the Memory-Alpha article afterwards just now, that crack Spock makes about Bigamy is even funnier.Another interesting thing from M-A that I took note of but didn't really think over: the way they shot Cochrane's first appearance from over a ridge and slowly approaching the Galileo II was so incredibly well done. It made this planetoid feel like the largest world they'd been to (among the ones that weren't shot on location).

>>223801585The discord of my favorite trek podcast has regular streams. Last time we watched S1. I was surprised how well it holds up. Both as a trek show and a comedy.
>>223801666what's the discord
>>223801666Checked.So far I'm liking it. It's a fun show. I'm on S2.
A show that says "fuck" over 200 times is not Star Trek.Cursing and the use of modern slang invalidates Lower Decks as a Star Trek show as it breaks perhaps the most fundamental of all of the Roddenberry Rules. Ironic that its fans (braindead pee-pee-poo-poo retards) say that it "gets Trek" when it's actually the opposite. Lower Decks is derivative parody trash, failing both as a Star Trek show and as a comedy. If you enjoy this show, you're probably the kind of faggot to eat vegan burgers and collect Funko Pops.

I know I'm posting this on /trek/ but SG threads are relatively rare.Currently watching the first season of SG-1 (E08) and while there are a few amusing moments the writing kills it for me. Does it get any better or does it stay mostly the same?I didn't have that much trouble with the first season of TNG or DS9.
>>223803085it gets better as you go on. i'd stick with it

>>223803126Well the question then would be when appx? I liked the first episode and almost none really that much after that. I feel like I've seen/read the plotlines somewhere else before.>>223803167Thanks, probably won't even bother then. I just don't know what to watch anymore, most sci-fi shows are sadly either dogshit or painfully mediocre and I've watched the ones I like up to three times already.
>>223803222There aren't any other shows like Star Trek, really. The Twilight Zone probably comes closest and it's not really about people in space (most of the time anyway).
>>223803222which ones have you watched
>>223803231Star Trek TNG, DS9, VOYThe 100, BGS 2004, Westworld, Altered Carbon, Better Than Us, Black Mirror, Dark Angel, Firefly, Futurama, some GITS stuff, Humans, Love, Death and Robots, Orphan Black (if that is even sci-fi), Raised by Wolves, Silo, The Mandalorian, The OA, Travelers, Andor, 12 Monkeys and The Expanse.
>>223803222>when appx?i'm a poor person to ask. i liked most of the first season, except for the kidnapped carter episode. the writers were terrible with her until mid season 2. but i also like most syndicated sci fi of the time and a lot of it is absolute shit. yet somehow better than what we have now
>>223803315I started watching X-Files and I am enjoying it for much of the same reasons I enjoyed Star Trek. Likable compotent professionals solving mysteries togerher. It leans very heavily into horror and the production values of this show are off the charts. I heard it gets bad later but whatever
>>223803371they share a lot of guest actors too
>>223803362Thanks, maybe I'll come back to the show, I've watched 8 episodes in 3 days and not really feeling it.>>223803371My parents are watching that currently, I'll just try it out I guess, thanks for reminding me.
>>223803504try farscape
>>223802376Yes, but the alien would only kill redshirts and they'd try to communicate with it.

>>223803442I saw a behind the scenes thing where Chris Carter basically begged them to hire Brad Dourif for that one role and he was out of their budget. He called the exec on Thanksgiving day while he was having dinner with his family and was like "Dude please, Brad Dourif" and the guy said yes just to get Chris off the phone.

>>223804277The red uniforms worked in the context of WoK being a naval adventure pastiche, but I simply can't picture Starfleet officers going about their normal business exploring the galaxy in those stuffy outfits. It doesn't help that the shows never bothered to design new uniforms for the eras between the TOS movies and TNG and just reused the reds with minor alterations.

>>223806622so?
>>223803721It's too easy to blame the production change because it's so obvious, but I don't think it impacted the show as greatly as many claim. It was more a culmination of subtle tonal shifts that were already evident in season 5. I actually like season 6 for the most part and think it has some great eps, and I will unironically argue that the climax of the conspiracy arc completely works and would've made a great series finale and an even better movie than the one we got. S7 has some highlights but that's the year where it's really evident that the writers are out of ideas and are practically begging to get cancelled.

Working on my script where Kira Nerys eats Romulan pussy back during the resistance. Eventually going to be a two parter with different time jumps. When the Romulans join the war and setup an embassy on the station, Nerys ends up eating Romulan pussy again, and we just kind of bounce back and forth between the war and the resistance to tell the story. Then it's just a matter of waiting for AI to be ready to render it all out for me.
Finally watching BSG for the first time and I can’t stop nooticing all the DS9 and VOY plotlines and character beats Ron Moore recycled.
>>223802376Yes, but differently. There aren't any megacorps in Federation space, for starters, but a surveying team getting the space jockey ship's distress signal? sure
>>223807966gates bogged so hard it’s tragic
>>223809545The entire concept is VOY, though the entire concept of VOY is the original and Lost in Space. The opera house is just the wormhole aliens again, the skinjobs are just changelings. New Caprica is just the dominion capturing the station again. The episode with the cylon virus is Hugh again. Probably some others I forgot.
>>223809771The Pegasus arc, despite being directly from the original, has a lot of parallels to VOY Equinox. Also Baltar is just Dr. Bashir but white.

>>223810920It's the Star Wars incredible cross-sections, but Star Trek!
>>223810920And also not nearly as good, now that I look at it more closely. In the Star Wars, almost the entire ship is cit away.
Reminder that Sisko caused the entire Dominion War when he stopped the Romulans from destroying the wormhole.
Tonight I'm gonna take the Journey to Babel, see you in an hour or->>223810920So when they go to the Engineering Decks (as seen in the climax of Court Martial or The Changeling, to place the 2 versions used in TOS side by side) are those in the Main Disc or the Underhull (or whatever the proper terms are)? I know this is a chart for the Motion Picture versions of the ship, but it got me thinking about how things are laid out on an original Constitution Class. Like, is the Vertical Intermix Chamber the same as the Warp Core just by a different name? What about those rooms with the Dilithium Crystals, as seen in The Alternative Factor? Are the crystals just everywhere on the ship, or are they specifically only on the Engineering levels?That also makes me wonder, why is it that they talked about the Crystals so much in season 1, but now that we're in season 2 the main thing to go wrong with the power is the Antimatter Pods. Where are those located? How do all these things link together to feed power into the Warp Nacelles? Have the writers planned it that much in depth yet or are these just recurring terms for a system that was retroactively cobbled together once we get to later seasons/series? It didn't occur to me now how much more important this stuff is than understanding the hierarchy of Starfleet Command since this is something that's being constantly dealt with yet not given nearly as much attention.
>>223811253The dominion war was acceptable compared to the risk of the Romulans to think they could influence galactic politics with bombings
>>223811399>the Underhull (or whatever the proper terms are)"Star drive section" back in my day, and yes that is where engineering should be. IMO the warp core should always be dead center between the nacelles, but it's always shown much further forward for some reason.As to the crystals coming up a lot in season 1, just something the writer's didn't really think about yet. They spent a lot more time thinking things through with the TNG technical manual, but writers just ignored all the rules at will and they never really went that in-depth with it again.

star trek sex with tom and harry
Remember that time Picard's crew of idiots caused a suicide of that record keeper guy from the primitive society? What a hilarious episode about how wonderful the bonds of brotherhood are. Isn't it funny when Worf [insert "storyline about family member"] again?
alright. watching the Season 2 Finale of Lower Decks.
Fuck me, I'm on the Borg episode of Enterprise. 200 years early but resistance is futile in the face of the potential ratings.
Lol, that's some really bad CGI silhouette running.Also, do the Borg breathe air like normal biological individuals? I know they can survive in space no problem but this nigga just gasped for air.
This episode is breaking canon over its knee in a way that's positively nutrekkian.
got my bottle of kanar and some ketracel whitenothing wrong on a saturday night
So it turns out Zephram Cochrane told everyone about First Contact and the Enterprise but no one believed him.
The ridges on Phlox's temples remind me of the Cardassians.
So just being being infected with Borg nanites connects you to the Collective.
>>223813059Ben Sisko and Gabriel Bell are literally the same person and nobody in canon seems to notice or care except Nog that one time.
>>223813095All hughmons look the same.
Heheh, he said adapt.
Enterprise using real flatscreen computer monitors was a mistake tbqh. It makes the show look way more technologically advanced than shows in its own future, but also makes it look dated to viewers 25 years later.
>>223812960It actually sort of works within canon because Voyager established that Starfleet had some vague knowledge of the Borb before TNG but kept it top secret. Originally it was supposed to be rumors from aliens on the fringes of the federation but mysterious icemen from the 22nd century could fit in that too.
>>223813276You're right, I forgot that the Hansens knew about the Borg and that's why they went to the Unicomplex. The Borg canon just adapts constantly each time they're onscree..
>>223809119nah do better I'm asking a legit question
People like to complain about the Borg getting worse with each new appearance but they look better each time.
It turns out disabling a borg drone is as simple as ripping out the tubes going into their skins.
Archer and Reed have shot like half a dozen drones at least and they still haven't adapted.
would you be ok with ai trek if its voy tier or better
Oh come the fuck on Archer shot another with the same gun and it STILL didn't adapt. >>223813412Yes, because it'd be 100 episodes of VOY-quality episodes generated in a minute or less.
>>223813360The later look is more streamlined and sophisticated, but I always thought the early look seemed more sinister and oppressive. The later design makes the cybernetics seem more natural and all consuming inside and out, but the early design with that heavy black full body suit looks like an oppressive transhumanism forced on you from the outside.

>>223811453>it's always shown much further forward for some reasonFrom an outsider's perspective of architecture, it's probably so the rear-facing hangar bay has enough room. Easier to just extend the pipes forward than to fudge the entire layout.>TNG technical manualAnother book to add to the wishlist. Good to know that there's someplace that has everything in some semblance of a working order, but I'm just as happy to throw that out the window as the writers presumably must be whenever it becomes necessary to put the story at the forefront - another place to apply the evergreen MST3k Mantra.>>223811399Incredibly complex story this go around. The murder mystery into medical drama, into the most under-duress situation Kirk's ever found himself in: bleeding out in the captain's chair, struggling to protect a ship filled with Ambassadors from 114 planets from a completely unknown threat, and while his First Officer and the Vulcan Ambassador are both in surgery. The moment he pulled the "dead in the water" trick I thought it was gonna be the Romulans falling for it again, but Spock revealing it was the neutral Orion pirates playing all sides against eachother to reap the profits was a welcome surprise.All the new species showing up was cool. The golden midgets, the sexy violet lady, the guys who look perfectly normal aside from those giant Andy Warhol wigs, and of course the Tellarites & Andorians. Those Tellarite masks have terrible eye-holes, but the rest of it is alright. Gav is a bit of a stock-role, but it works out well here since it's not asking too much of us. Oh yeah, and Dilithium being back at the center of this half of the plot was funny after I just said they had been neglecting it.Continued
>>223813607To the main point, this is probably the most interesting examination of Spock's two-natures yet, mainly for what it doesn't say. I thought that his decision to remain in command due to the outstanding circumstances is the same sort of choice Kirk or any other human at the same level of Duty would've made, so his own mother blaming it all on his biology must've hit him even harder than it seems. Similarly, I thought that Sarek saying "He behaved logically as the situation demanded, there's no need to thank him." at the end is probably the greatest compliment he could've made, since that's what Spock was so worried about - wanting to appear truly Vulcan in his father's eyes. This is made even better if you take into account the possibility that Sarek overheard Kirk's plan to trick Spock and said it anyway, because even if his son didn't have the complete set of information, he still behaved as logically as he believed possible. DC Fontana, I don't know if you considered all that when you wrote it, but that's a fantastic job.
basically I feel like trek reflected the good of society and now that we live in a shit of society, trek is also shit. thots.
>>223813644Pretty much. The Federation in Star Trek is the United States/Liberal world order; now that those things aren't doing very well, Star Trek has become much darker.
>>223813644>>223813661I wouldn't say nutrek's reflection of the world gone to shit is a conscious choice, thoughbeit. I don't give any of the new writers enough credit to have that level of awareness. Some of them are still writing the show as a futuristic utopia, when they're not inserting stupid shit like retconning the Eugenics Wars to overlap with the Ferguson Rallies or shoving Section 31 everywhere. Just look at how bad SNW or the pre-timeskip seasons of STD can be, and those are set during the golden age of galactic exploration.

If NuTrek is a reflection of anything, it isn't societal as much as cultural. What is really being reflected is the decline of Hollywood, the same sort of atrophy that you're seeing across the broad in the entertainment realm.It's just bad writing -- a lingering symptom of the nepotistic walled garden approach to creative roles that has dominated Hollywood for decades. The fourth or fifth generation showbiz kids are so sheltered and live lives of such unmitigated privilege that they are like an unrelatable alien species trying to write human drama. They don't understand anything but quips and poisonous irony. These people don't want to write about utopia because they already live utopian lives in their wealthy closed circles where they want for nothing and basically have no worries.
>>223813644It was a funkier time
>>223807831>Holy fuck she was in the S31 movie?Yup. There are things in NuTrek I'm willing to defend, but S31 movie? Jesus Christ, what a clusterfuck. Nobody asked for it, nobody wanted it, it was in development hell for years... And they still did it.

>>223813644Would you say, it's sheer fucking hubris?
>>223814263It was a funky hazard.
>>223814820Looks like a cool cake. Wonder if Tuvok ate all of it."The Cake was nutritious and... delicious."
I appreciate all the fan service and references in Lower Decks. IT's like a nice little Trivia experience.
Canon:>We call it Ten Forward, because it's on deck 10, forward section of the ship. Obviously.NuTrek: >ACTUALLY, it's called Ten Forward, because in early 2000s Guinan had a bar on Earth, with was located on Ten Forward Street! She was making a nostalgic reference!
>>223814984that's rough.
>>223792653I only watch the RLM reviews but I have been wondering if the same thing. PIC2 might be the worst Star Trek product on the market. I still find S3 despicable for the nostalgia bait and succeeding in convincing some assholes that it was "good".A couple of friends of mine told me that and I can't believe it.
>>223815600>I still find S3 despicable for the nostalgia bait and succeeding in convincing some assholes that it was "good".Ex-fuckin-actly. I hate how it gets praise just because "I RECOGNIZE THE THING ON THE SCREEN".
>>223815600I didn't watch S2 but the premise actually seemed more interesting than S1. I'm not sure how they dragged it out for ten episodes though, even from just watching the RLM reviews there was clearly loads of filler>>223815717S3 was way better than S1 at least, a lot of it could be salvaged. S1 (and apparently S2) was just... shit
just watching season 3 of SNW. they rammed a gorn ship and then went to warp and it didn't destroy either ship?
>>223815771the premise is the worst part its like something pulled from the most ridiculous novels and comics that arent even trying to fit in with the tv shows
ive decide the borg are stupid in every iteration. theyre like the biggest fish in the early levels of spore. not even a little bit dangerous to the actual big fish like Q and organians and voth. much more likely for Q to destroy humanity than the borg.
>>223814951is there a reason they couldnt spend 30 seconds to give the sign some depth?

>>223816896>japanese banner>it's backwardsすげぇ
>>223815771I get the idea behind the premise and Q/Guinan is somewhat understandable although I would not have gone down that road. I think S2 falls apart as soon as it become present day bullshit with no connection to Star Trek. The contrived sci-fi Borg/Soongh plot didn't help either.I think PIC is very interesting when you consider the series as three independent season long stories and each manages to suck in its own way. That's the only positive thing I got from that piece of fiction.
>>223790138Is this game still alive? I was in the /vg/ fleet a decade ago until some faggot had a meltie and blew it up
>>223817551>I think S2 falls apart as soon as it become present day bullshit with no connection to Star Trek.Again, just from watching the RLM reviews that was my impression too>each manages to suck in its own way.What didn't you like about S3?
the Voyager episode where the aliens thought they went on to the Next Emanation when they die but really they just decompose on a random asteroid was neato
>>223817824I like the one where aliens are losing a war to the equivalent of Bowser because Tom left the SNES on to take a shit.
ok something in Star Trek that gets old pretty fast:>aliens would be able to help the crew with something that they desperately need>but oh oops looks like there's some kind of arbitrary rule or law doing so would violate>aliens are prepared to fucking die rather than bend a rule for a good causeThis is so fucking dumb. Maybe I could entertain ONE type of alien being this obstinate. but it happens too often.
>nutrek worship>discords>RLMwhy are there so many tourists ITT?
>>223818315>touristsYou mean real fans, who can accept change?
>>223818231also people who supposedly love eachother splitting up because of their 'career' instead of making it work.Like Quark and that Cardassian.
>>223818370That's why I like the O'Briens. they are a very realistic and healthy married couple. they have all those issues but they make it work because they have love and maturity
technically, Lower Decks is a cartoon.
>>223818368You mean larpers who jump on bandwagons and think they belong?
Seska is evil. She belongs in the brig
>>223818488Yes, I mean real fans who grow with their franchise, like good friends.

Could Q replicate a burrito so hot that even he couldn't eat it?
>>223806345This reminds me of a TOS episode, titled, "Obsession".
>>223818753Television isn't real life.
>>223818640It all depends on the optimization function.
>>223818791Yes. The omnipotence paradox doesn't work with Q because he's NOT omnipotent, he's just incomprehensibly powerful and there's multiple of them.
theres no way O'Brien didnt absolutely break young keiko in half every night. why wouldn't he? these are the benefits of being a union man. that scene wheres hes hesitant is only for the audience.
I know Neelix is too much of a bro to cuck Greskrendtregk, but sometimes I wish he had ended up with Samantha.
>>223814951It was a cheep way of proving their fan cred and an excuse to not do anything new or original.
>>223816824>>223816896Every time I see one of these stupid future sports on here, I get reminded of "Kosho" from The Prisoner.
>>223818546Okay grandpa, I know you have dementia but that doesn't mean we all do.
star trek sex with malcolm and hayes
>>223818791Is Q willing to create a burrito, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh burritos?Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him Q?

Were Vulcans originally a class of witches on Romulus who left Romulus because of their culture, and then found a new planet where they could focus on their witchcraft?
>>223821207No there is no witchcraft in Star Trek, especially on Romulus
>Seska attempts to cuck out to aliens for a promise of "protection" oh so it's a Cardassian thing
>>223813839I agree with this post too.
>>223821237Then what's up with all those weird Vulcan rituals they do in Search for Spock?
>>223821496You said it yourself, they're just rituals. Any sort of mysticism in Vulcan culture is related to psionics.
What do you think is the reason, that boomers don't understand the depths of NuTrek?
>>223821527Sounds like witchcraft to me
>>223821560I think the generation that would've taken it seriously are dead. My mom's generation, people who were kids when they watched TOS, the boomers, they're all like 70-75 now but it would be their parents, the WW2 and Korea generations, that would actually understand its depths. Star Trek to baby boomers is like the Star Wars prequels to zoomers.

Lower Decks sure loves fluffing its own knob about how great the California-class is, despite how dumb it looks.
>>223822659so that means discovery is too? wtf?
>>223822759Yes, it is. Why wouldn't it be. It doesn't contradict anything.
Holy fuck Worf and Jadzia have no chemistry whatsoever. It’s awful.
>>223822720Yeah they've never had retarded designs in Star Trek.
>>223823216nta but i think this looks better than the california class, even if i agree it's retarded
