>wondering why I even still had a reaction pic folder>oh
>>224081900I'm glad they fixed that. Looked too wet and retarded in TNG.
>>224081940>I fucked your pope lady
Gul Dukat Did Nothing Wrong
posting my comment here because I don't wanna support this thread >>224078194but it reminded me of that Voyager episode where there was silver goo on a planet that became sentient after touching Tom and Harry and cloning them and refused to let Voyager leave because it didn't want to go back to non-sentience. and Janeway was like "cool chill let us go and you can clone anyone you want who will let you." and then they show them leaving the planet and it's like the entire crew apparently agreed to be cloned and left there. That really surprised me honestly. I think my initial reaction would be hell no I wont be cloned but on the other hand I can also see the appeal of knowing your DNA and another version of you is thriving on an uninhabitable planet and might thrive on for eternity even if you never make it home. but also randomly remembering that a clone of me exists would give me really bad anxiety and dread so idk.
who is the best Trek captain, and why is he Jellico?
>>224081900No one cared who I was until I put on the mask
>>224082095And then later in Voyager, in the most depressing video ever, they all fucking die
>>224082095I would tell myself that by his very nature, the silver goo version of me is a completely different type of being and I would encourage him to explore also the aspects of himself that stem from that, whatever they may be. Sort of like when Odo was exploring his heritage by turning into rocks and metal and that chair next to Kira's bed.
>>224082213>Images that whizzed through Stewart’s brain as he was dying
He's a big synthetic lifeform
>>224082380that's probably the best possible way to think about it. more like a child or new person than a true clone of yourself
starting a full tng rewatch tomorrow after only doing random playlists of selected favorite episodes for years now. just so i get the spic taste out of my mouth and proper honour stewarts passing. havent done it since early covid, so i'm actually a little giddy
>>224082095If it were just my DNA I absolutely would not give a shit. If it were a straight-up clone of my current consciousness, I guess that question is "Do I want to completely abandon my life to go on this adventure (but not really?)" because ultimately that is the decision being made.
>>224082539TNG is highly rewatchable. You can also go through the Memory Alpha pages for every episode as you watch, and/or the TNG compendium.
>>224082149Always found it interesting he had such young children, especially considering people live longer in Trek, so he'd be even older than the actor portraying him (54)
>>224082539i've rewatched TNG almost continuously for 20 years, sometimes i watch DS9
>>224082560in the episode the details are really peculiar because it is a clone of your consciousness and it seems your personality as well to a certain degree but the clones are clearly also different because they perceive the planet differently than the originals so they may have real physiological differences as well. it's kinda like your own consciousness and personality is just their starting point. also there is no choice to make because the clones can only exist on the planet because it's Y class or whatever and the atmosphere is sulphur gas or some shit. the originals can't breathe it and the clones can't breathe oxygen.
>>224082643Come to think of it, the David Warner (51) Cardassian had a little girl too
>>224082217>And then later in Voyager, in the most depressing video ever, they all fucking dieYeah, that's one of my favorite 'sodes. Terrific ending.

TNG forces the viewer to accept that a computer can truly possess consciousness (see: Data, Moriarty)Thomistic theology, however, states that this is simply never possible. No matter how much hand waiving you do.

They seem to be putting some of the DS9 and Voyager episodes through AI slop upscalers when they get broadcast on HDTV channels.
>>224085294That's just the result of a bad de-interlacing filter. The problem with the 90's shows is that the live action was shot at 24fps but the visual effect were often shot at 30fps. I've noticed it causing interlacing or judder artifacts especially when they lazily try converting everything to a consistent 24fps.
>>224085435Maybe it is just that. I don't have the original DVDs to compare it to though and I believe they were the highest quality versions that have ever been released.
One thing that annoys me about DS9 is how dark it is.
>>224085435>live action was shot at 24fps but the visual effect were often shot at 30fpsI always wondered why this is. CGI would have taken forever to render a single frame back then, so why not just use the lower framerate?
>>224085668i find ds9 extremely unwatchable voyager is 100x closer to actual trek than that day time soap opera could ever be>tng>voyager>tos>enterprise>ds9
>>224085832>voyager
>>224085668DS9 is literally the funniest of any Trek show
Was Miles an idiot?
>>224085868i love ds9 so much
>>224085821I'm not talking about CGI I'm talking about the actual physical model ships they'd shoot at 30fps. When they released TNG on blu-ray and they had to convert everything to 24fps to match the live action footage. Back when TV's were all CRT's running at 60hz interlaced the difference wasn't really a perceptible issue.
>>224085868It's the most creative and took the most risks. Just watched "Rules of Engagement", damn good episode. Love how they integrated the examinations into the flashbacks.
>>224085948honestly as I'm watching through Voyager right now I think it's actually the most creative.
>>224085966>rehashed TNG plots for 3 seasons then BORG BORG BORG interlaced with more rehashed TNG plots>the most creativeYeah okay.
>>224085966Not really, IMHO. Voyager never took any real risks. It was way too clean and safe for an isolated smaller science vessel trapped in the Delta Quadrant. Equinox and Year of Hell were the sort of thing that should have happened more often.
>>224086020ok what risk did they take on DS9 having an ensemble cast do interpersonal drama on a space station? i love DS9 but you sound like a contrarian retard. all I said is Voyager showed more creativity which was actually necessary because they didn't have the strengths to fall back on that DS9 has.
Move Along Home is one of DS9's best episodes
>>224086399That's right Mike
Profit and Lace is one of DS9's best episodes
>>224086489Who?
>>224086583"Fourth Reich" Mike Stoklasa

>>224086918Nah, everyone is already addicted to personal relaxation lights.
Why is there suddenly a Borg sphere? That's so much less scary than a cube.
>>224087222even though I knew it was coming...damn;____;
>>224087347In a few upcoming episodes there will be a multi-spatial probe that they go to great lengths to retrieve when it's lost. A novel established that it was made from One's body.A little detail that would have been nice if it ad been part of the show itself, adding some continuity that VOY was sorely missing.
Why was Risa even a thing?
>It's pon farr night at the Vulcan night club
>>224088188The 8472 clearly had limited information about the feds and filled it in incorrectly.They thought Voyager was the first wave of an invasion force after all.
>>224088188>Vulcan night clubDo you think they just like, sit around and do puzzles and shit?Like you got a table with 5 of them doing fuggin Rubik's Cube and the last one to solve it has to take a shot? Is that logical?
>>224088184Because nutting into a hologram leaves a mess
>>224088281I know it just made me kek. 8472s seems like pretty cool guys
>>224081917star trek sex with wesley
>>224085884explain what you mean
Romulans have pon farr, and anyone who says they don't is a moron
>>224087302>suddenlyAnon, you're 30 years late to this news
>>224088672I doubt they wait seven years though. For them it’s probably just soup and chill.
>>224085937It's probably a side effect of them compositing effects using a video system (it was the sort of thing typically used for putting together motion graphics for news shows and stuff like that), rather than doing their compositing on film, which would be a much slower process. So the system is already natively working in 30fps for regular broadcast TV since their 24fps film footage fed into it has already been telecine'd
>>224088787You didn't answer my question. Either the cube is more efficient and perfect or the sphere is. Borg wouldn't have both.
>>224081900A simple question /trek/? Bajoran war criminal GF or Cardassian war criminal gf?

the idea that you can just build an entire other spaceship inside a cargo bay with replicated shit and a crew of like 6 people working on it for a week is really retarded
>>224088507Are you an idiot?He obviously means it's not wise to deny a female anything that she wants, especially Keiko.
>there is no past or future>might as well be a different person>it exists only in the present
>>224090662its pretty consistent with the logic of the series. otherwise they would need to return to base every other week to replace hull plates and warp coils. the real problem with voyager is threshold. everything else is an indulgence.
>>224086918No.
If I mind meld with a Vulcan, will they see all of my most depraved sexual fantasies?
>>224090802i can KIND OF (not really) stretch my suspension of disbelief that Voyager might be desperate and resourceful enough to do something like that. but the fact the Malon had the exact same idea to do the exact same thing and it's like some kind of just done thing apparently that we've never seen before is too much.
love the protostar, such a cool ship
Was it necrophilia (technically) ?
>>224092197>Captain, should we ask what engines their ships have? They crossed huge distance from where we left her corpse, to reach us in days. >Shush Kim, be glad you scored, and didn't get sick from it for once.
>>224088672Romulans don’t suppress their emotions so it’s not a big deal like Vulcans.
>>224087302Not even the worst Borg ship type.
>>224092197This was genuinely one of my favorite makeups in all of Trek. It's so weird and uncanny.
>>224091176Yes, but a Vulcan would find them tame and vanilla compared to suppressed Vulcan fantasies.
>>224083732Next you’ll tell me that artificial gravity and faster-than-light travel aren’t possible.
>>224083261Are they all as lame as that one?

>>224094501Never seen Patch Adams except for that Family Guy cutaway, but probably.>>224094714Start with TNG. Just keep in mind that the first two season can be rough watching and it doesn’t get consistently good until season 3.

Guy who finally gave that ol’ Star Trek TNG show a try now that Stewart has passed and now has a new autistic fixation
does anyone here also watch kdramas? here me out, though different in many ways they are also similar in that even though they can be campy and melodramatic they also take themselves seriously compared to other modern western tv where nothing is serious and everything is poisoned with a detached irony.
Well it finally happened: I missed a day entirely. It was a long day taking down all my halloween decorations, and then I had a dinner so filling that I zonked out right after finishing it. Thankfully the episode I was scheduled to watch was just "Assignment: Earth" the failed backdoor pilot. That means today is gonna be a two-fer with that and the infamous "Spock's Brain".See you in an hour or so.

>>224098891Don’t know, didn’t watch it.
>>224098891no nutrek is worthwhile
alright guys. I'm watching Picard. Season 1 Episode 7 "Nepenthe">>224098891I'll be finding that out soon enough. >>224098912Lower Decks is a fun show.
>>224098957>Lower Decks is a fun show.Some people think having someone literally shit in their mouth is fun
>>224098891It dethroned ENT as the best of nu-trek, but still not good.
>>224099074You understand ENT is Trutrek right...?
>>224099079I understand that ENT is patient zero for nu-trek, and gave birth to Beastie Boys Trek and Burnham and the cartoon and all the rest of it.
>>224098891It's slop.Cheap memberberries that is all flash, no substance. It's enough to wow a casual fan of TNG but anyone who actually knows and cares about Star Trek will see all of the flaws beneath the "comfy" coat of paint that is the reuniting of the TNG cast.None of the cast act like their characters. They are not playing Picard, Geordi, Worf, etc, they are playing "The TNG Cast at Conventions." Worf is played as a doddering old man who has become a Klingon pacifist even though he should more or less be in his Klingon 40s. Riker and Picard make some comment about "leaving things to the egg-heads" at some point as if everyone in Starfleet isn't a fucking egg-head and Picard isn't the biggest anthropology nerd in existence. Marina hasn't done Troi's accent in so long that she probably forgot she ever did one in the first place. She's just British. Crusher looks like she's joined the Son'a from Insurrection and has some weird Halloween mask of someone else's skin stretched over her face. Seven of Nine is there too and she's a bloodthirsty girlboss out for revenge who becomes a captain even though she's never held a rank in Starfleet of any kind. The awful drug addict character from earlier seasons is there to keep the "wypipo" in check.It's genuinely a terrible, terrible fucking show that shits on various lore points, like bringing back Changelings just to forget how they fucking work.Utter, complete fucking trash. The only people who talk about Nutrek in this thread are the Lower Decks spergs who are only ITT to ragebait and troll.
>>224097790>>224097807I imagine that for normal viewers in the 60s, this was a weird episode where the nothing he did made any sense even knowing that his mission statement was (as he explains to his Beta-5 computer, the same prop as the M-5 from The Ultimate Commputer) "to save humanity from dooming itself to destruction". And to modern viewers like myself who know that THIS is the guy they're trying to sell to us as the protagonist for a new series, absolutely nothing about him is appealing. Gary Seven is a dullard, a hardass, an idiot, and he's not funny either. If he's Supervisor 194, why doesn't he realize that Miss Lincoln isn't 201? If his vault was able to teleport him to the McKinley AFB, why the hell didn't 347 & 201 use that instead of driving there and dying in a car accident? If his sonic screwdriver can put people into a happy trance, why doesn't he do that to Miss Lincoln either time he pulls it out to use it?The worst thing is how they keep putting Kirk & Spock on the backfoot to prop up the new guy. They've got every reason to be suspicious of him, and he's done nothing to gain their trust as someone who really is providing beneficial aide. He couldn't use B-5 to vouch for him, and he'd never submit to a mind-meld to probe his thoughts because he wants to keep the planet he comes from a secret, but surely the medical scans Bones performed would be sufficient for the truth detectors they have onboard (as seen in "Wolf in the Fold", and earlier in "Court Martial").continued
>>224081900the mask is him, he is the mask
>>224098891No>>224099478Correct
>>224099513They did find the incident in their records in the end, right down the exact distance of the detonation in the lower thermosphere 104 miles above the surface, so there's no reason that they couldn't have used that to verify Gary's mission of a controlled detonation to deescalate the nuclear arms race - a plan that makes no sense anyway, because the Russians & Chinese would just look at it as another failure of American engineering because both of THEIR satellites were launched and work just fine! If this had been the first of these that'd be one thing, but Spock clearly states that it's a DETERRENCE satellite.Even worse is the way the writers have the Enterprise crew handle things because it doesn't matter what they do in Gary's episode, like beaming up with a pair of cops and then beaming them right back down without doing anything to their memories. This was a huge deal last time, in "Yesterday is Tomorrow" but here it's treated like an incidental punchline.And the fucking sexy catlady to top things off, just reminds me of Catspaw and how much that blowed. Like fine, Gary sucks, but so does his entire supporting cast of: snarky computer, cat with no lines, and a woman having the worst day of her life. How the hell did the writer for "Obsession" screw this up so badly? Or was it actually his work that managed to make Roddenberry's pilot more presentable than it would've been otherwise?I'm starting Spock's Brain now, hopefully as bad as that's rumored to be it'll be more enjoyable that this tripe.
>>224099612*than this tripefuckSee you in another hour or so.
>>224099612I regret reading your melty. I think I might just watch Pic s3 now. But I won’t.
>>224099513>>224099628This episode is genuinely Roddenberry's worst sin
Assignment: Earth has NOTHING on Force Seven.
>>224099513All this is true but: Teri Garr and cat-lady.
>>224099513>>224099612jej I hated the shit out if toostill would the cat lady
>>224099612>>224099513The other dumb part about A:E is how it disregards every episode before and after itNormally, time travel is extremely hard and has only been achieved by accident (Tomorrow is Yesterday) or with PRECISE calculations (Star Trek IV)In this episode, Starfleet literally sends the Enterprise on a mission back in time. Which is stupid. Their mission? Observe how... humanity DIDN'T annihilate itself with nukes. Also stupid. I don't know. It just doesn't feel consistent with the rest of TOS. It really felt like they were trying to figure out how to force Star Trek into the pilot of this spinoff.
>>224100349It's not going to be consistent. The story was a handwave by Roddenberry who just wanted an excuse to show off his new pilot, thinking audiences would fall in lover with the characters (lol).Assignment Earth throws Roddenberry's reputation into suspect territory as he was ultimately ready to abandon Star Trek the moment he thought its prospects were bad. It makes you wonder if he ever believed in its message after all.
>>224100393>>224100349you get some leeway with 30 episodes. might have fallen behind and gotten canceled if he didnt stretch the cage into a 2 parter in season 1.
>>224100393>It makes you wonder if he ever believed in its message after all.do NOT look up what he did with the rights to the theme songor him selling concept art for the show as his own work

Apparently Gene's micromanaging of the pilot included him hemming her skirt as high as they could get it, and she hated the experience so much that she never talked about the series afterwards.I might have liked the cat lady more if they showed her off sooner than a split-second teaser which makes it unclear if Gary knows she can change shape, or if that's gonna be a weird love triangle where Isis prevents Roberta from pursuing anything serious with Gary because she loves her master too much to let anyone else near him and Gary doesn't think it's unusual because of his stupid alien upbringing removing all common sense from him.Apparently the idea was reused for another Roddenberry project called "The Questor Tapes" about a ROBOT who the aliens send down to save us from ourselves, and I've gotta wonder if the robot has better social skills than Gary Fucking Seven. Wikipedia also says Questor served as partial inspiration for Data on TNG, and I love Data so clearly the idea had something going for it.>>224100393>>224100568Yeah, The Menagerie Part 2 was pretty high up there for flawed episodes, but mainly because of how it rewrites the original Cage and does kind of a bad job of it. It makes sense if it was just shoved in to meet a quota. Nowadays, the studio LIMITS how many episodes you get, which creates its own share of problems.>>224100674Lmao.
>>224099513>>224099612I don't understand what all the fuss was about over Spock's Brain. Sure the science isn't there today for how the human brain functions, but did they really know this much about it back in the 60s? Or rather, did they know enough in the 60s that even contemporaries said this was stretching the fiction of science-fiction too far?And maybe some of the scenes early on, like Kirk & Bones debating things in Sickbay or Kirk discussing which of the Sigma Draconids to land on, had some odd dialogue to them, but perhaps that was purposely done to emphasize what a great absence Spock has left behind. That without his counsel, Kirk must rely even more heavily on his hunches.Also, the stuff with the sex-segregated (sexregated) society of the Morgs & Eymorgs - sidenote: if this is a matriarchal society, why do they still follow the same naming pattern as we do? Morg is Man/Male, and Eymorg is WOman/FEmale, but if the Eymorg run things (via the controller) shouldn't their half be the dominant term with the subservient Morg reduced to a prefix? - but anyway, even their whole society getting dragged back to the stone age is pretty much the same as the Feeders of Vaal from The Apple, aside from their environment being in a peaceful ice age instead of a tropical minefield.This episode also provides a good excuse for what seems to possibly be a huge shift in how the team is writing Spock, if his motormouth excitations in the coda were anything to go by. He even thanks McCoy for putting his brain back in! This, just 2 episodes after he mockingly said it to the doctor in "Bread & Circuses" while they were trapped in their cell without Kirk.
