Thread 42291476

Due to the crossover between Trek alums and MLP, this is a safe place to discuss characters like Grand Pear and Discord.

>>42291476 (OP)
I think the original series holds up better than Lost in Space and similar tripe, but it's still not very good. I still need to watch TNG and the later stuff, but I'm expecting it to be much better.

>>42291510
Reminder that his account was run by his nephew. Shatner in fact had no pony opinions, I'm afraid.

>>42291515
So did Shatner do a voice in MLP or not? I'm not a faggot so I have absolutely no idea.

>>42291476 (OP)
Don't mind if I do.

>>42291520
>So did Shatner do a voice in MLP or not?
Eeyup.

>>42291520
Yes. grand pear
John de lancie voiced Discord

>>42291543
Well, then, the seething about his nephew is completely irrelevant, isn't it? And it's just precious that I get to choose my own tiny little MLP icon for each post. I have no idea who any of these characters are.

>>42291573
Alright, fill us in. Did you get GR15'd from somebody mentioning the MLP roles these actors did?

>>42291579
no, they just decided collectively en masse to have the general here to preemptively avoid GR15/wrath of Barneyfag. Not even kidding. It's like watching a school of fish or flock of birds collectively turn on a dime.

>>42291612
>star trek is GR15 because of discord
He's more powerful than we thought.

>>42291620
And yet it is Shatner who described himself as a brony. His favorite pony is Rainbow Dash and I believe the headcanon that he is the one who makes all the "cum inside rainbow dash" posts from pony thread simulators

>>42291612
>collectively
Where did this start? Now I'm interested

>>42291476 (OP)

I have no idea how this applies. Maybe to the schizo seether, but I hardly think of him, except for how I can use him for my own purposes.

>>42291637
/tv/, a place without magic of friendship

Fuck happened to /trek/ anyway? Is it ok?

>>42291476 (OP)
Prodigy is unironically brilliant. Best nutrek.

>>42291670
>Best nutrek.
It has the best optimistic tone. It obvious served as a narrative bridge between Voyager and Picard, but you could tell the show runners hated that and found a way to end it on an optimistic utopian note.

>>42291670
Some hallucinating schizo seether had a public meltdown over some Lower Decks fans, and we all finally got tired of it.

>>42291670
>Best nutrek
It's the only one made by genuine Trek autists. Too bad Trek's current modern audience didn't give a shit about something without swearing, gay sex, and endless memberberries.

>>42291684
Have a (You), you sad faggot.

>>42291689
On the other hand, Trek had become so overwrought and self-satisfied that it desperately needed its ego pricked. Lower Decks did an excellent job of that.

>>42291696
Shitting up on board ain't enough for you?

>>42291693
You shouldn't mess with Cthulhu. You are crunchy and good with ketchup.

>>42291706
Based. I fucking love this man.

>>42291698
As it isn't for you, apparently.

>>42291696
lower decks is too rick and morty for my taste though I like it more than any other nutrek.

>>42291706
Godspeed Bill. I hope you outlive that faggot Takei

>>42291706
I'm fine with people having different opinions. Unlike you, who have been telegraphing your authoritarian leanings for several day snow. More power to Shatner and his opinions!

>>42291698
>>42291712
When will Princesses Celestia and Molestia find peace? Is it after ONE THOUSAND HOURS of Space Camp?

>>42291706
based

>>42291713
As do I. I only warmed up to TOS and TNG until LD came along. Star Trek desperately needed a satirical comedy.

>>42291706
Adult animation is cancer. I'm glad that CalArts art style is dying. Based of Shat to say the fuck away from it.

>>42291727
>Star Trek desperately needed a satirical comedy
It could have been done with less cynicism. Think about The Trouble with Tribbles, or Data's Day, or The Magnificent Ferengi. Lower Decks is a bit too cynical for that. The SNW comedy episodes, like the Vulcan Hijinks ones or the crossover, hit the mark more closely. LD seems like a changeling (MLP) trying to copy that tone and just bring a bit off.

>>42291736
>with less cynicism
Millennials are literally incapable of writing any other way. G4 literally couldn't exist in the current animation landscape.

>>42291736
All they had to do was tone it down a little. It kept to the lore fairly well and I liked the return of a bunch of stuff from past episodes but as always it has to be ruined by hack writers.

>>42291743
>Lauren Faust is a boomer

>>42291722
Hey, I'm hoping the seether will give me his first name, so I can use it for a character in the fanfic I'm writing.

>/mlp/ makes out as though our board-exclusive flags are soft avatarfagging and discourages using them
>anons from /tv/ wander in and go 'oh cool, i can put a funny horse next to my name, i wonder what this one looks like'
We could learn from this.

>>42291736
Oh, I think Star Trek needed that cynicism. Besides, I'm GenX & was born cynical. The entire Star Trek franchise has become toxically self-important and deserved to be taken down several notches.

>>42291745
>It kept to the lore fairly well
They literally admitted to mining Memory Alpha for references. There was no passion in it, just a cynical attempt to get Trekkies to soiface. Prodigy was made by bonafide Trek autists thoughbeit.

>>42291754
I'm GenX as well but I wanted Data's Day tier and the Hagermen/Waltke hit the nail better. Even Babylon 5 or Stargate had less spiteful comedy.

>>42291752
>nooooo u cant keep changing your icon how dare uuuuuuu
Are you even listening to yourself? Do you realize what a total spaz you sound like? From what little I've learned so far, that's very much not in line with the MLP ethos. So tone it down while you're here.

>>42291760
>Hagermen/Waltke hit the nail better
It's genuinely upsetting how the company and the fandom treated them.

>>42291762
You misunderstand. I'm saying that messing around with flags is funny and upstanding. We can still argue if you'd like, though, you slobbering retard.

>>42291682
Yep.

>>42291713
I wish it were more sincere. The first season was especially egregious, but now and then the rick and morty elements crop up again even in later ones.

>>42291755
I didn't know that. Typical.

A good part of me wishes trek stayed dead after the kelvin movies.

>>42291775
>get a bunch of Rick and Morty writers to make a Trek show
>get Rick and Morty lite
What a shocker!...
I think only Doctor Who was raped harder than Star Trek.

>>42291780
Imagine if Doctor Whooves were aged to match older David Tennant.

>>42291773
I never wanted to argue. You started seething about Trek as if your opinion was the only one allowed. I tweaked your nose, as is my usual practice when met with inflexible behavior, and you spiraled out of control. It's fine if you have your opinions, just don't force them on me. Can we try to get along now, please? Wow, this MLP board really IS magic!

>>42291785
I wish Doctor Hooves had multiple faces throughout the show to match 11th and 12th Doctors. I made a Doctor Hooves regeneration animation in SFM when I was like 10.

nutrek, nuwho, nuwars which franchise got it the worse raping at the hands of modern 'writers'?

>the Pickle Trekker is now lashing out at people who agree with him
Least mentally ill fandom

>>42291791
Well, the Mandalorian was boring as hell, for what that's worth. And SW 7 was basically a lifeless copy of SW 4, except now it's a planet with a death ray, instead of a big spherical space station.
Seriously, why did they even bother?

>>42291794
I think you have that exactly backwards, "slobbering retard".

>>42291791
>nuwho
The entire canon of the show got rewritten and the first incarnation of the character was replaced with a little black girl. The lore changes are devastating and borderline irreparable.
>nutrek
Seven shows made by people who despise the franchise and desperately want to drain all intelligence from it and turn it into something else.
>nuwars
Made by people who like Star Wars, want to make Star Wars, but have no idea how to make Star Wars. Occasionally results in something watchable like Mando or Andor.

In that order.

>>42291803
>made by people who despise the franchise
except Waltke/Hagermans

I would love to read a good crossover between Trek and Ponies. Or even good sci-fi pony fic would do.

>>42292307
"Captain?"
"Yes, Mister Data."
"The diminutive equine—"

>>42292323
>a little hoarse
It's a really old joke, but I didn't see it coming. Oh my sides!

If there could be any pony crossover what strek show do you want it to happen on? TOS for 60s weirdness but a risk of Kirk stealing your waifu, TNG and risking Riker doing the same? DS9 and maybe Odio changing into a pony? Voyager and seeing if the princesses couldn't teleport the ship home but can't for some handwavy reason? Forget any nutrek exists here.

>>42292379
TNG, clearly. Doctor Whooves and Guinan can recognize each other as Time Lords

>>42292398
No discord in that episode right? because I feel like that would be low hanging fruit.

>>42292406
Q and Discord can pop in at the end after the problem was solved, somewhat apologetically that they were intending to be a deus ex machina but got caught up bro-ing out so hard they forgot and also destroyed the M33 galaxy by mistake

>>42292379
TNG definitely. Discord and Q are the same person.

The pony crossover should basically be just Q fucking around and turning the crew into ponies.

>>42292420
The episode would be called "How Fares the Farrier?"

Real planet or holodeck episode/malfunction?

>>42292379
STTNG, and a selection of regulars (Picard, Data, Troi, and Barclay) are in a shuttlecraft when they hit a spatial anomaly, and after some brightly-colored swirling chaos, they find themselves in the MLP dimension, and have to try to figure out how to get home. Picard is irritated by the superfluous fluff, Data is fascinated but utterly unable to comprehend, Troi is overwhelmed by all the positive feelings, and Barclay tries to fuck ponies, despite not able at first to tell the males from the females. Barclay's actions set off a wave of jealousy, as many of the pony girls (like ethnic girls in our world) apparently prefer white men over pretty much any other option. In the end, the ponies figure out how to return the Enterprise crewmembers to their own world, to rid themselves of the chaos they brought. The last scene in the MLP world is of one of the pony girls feeling a little ill, then asking plaintively whether it's possible for a human to impregnate them.

Why would RD vomit rainbow?

What would you recommend someone just getting into Star Trek to check out first?

>>42292718
TOS is like a Western. it is very 1960s but fun. The closest modern sci-fi to TOS is Stargate SG1, although Strange New Worlds is trying its hardest to get that vibe.
TNG is where most people start. The first two seasons are unused TOS scripts. So you won't miss much.
Speaking of Westerns, a good way to crossover MLP and Trek is to remove the sci-fi, and make the "encounter of the week" format something relatable: a western. Maybe have some of the Appleoosa branch of the Apple family do it. Instead of aliens, they encounter various native tribes, which in this case would be represented by, idk, pronghorns or something. The name of this show: Wagon Train

>>42292734
>The first two seasons are unused TOS scripts
wrong, mike.

>>42292745
Dude, Naked Now was Naked Time pretty much unvarnished.
The MLP version would, naturally, be called the Neighked Now and would feature the ruminant species of Equestria the type of fruits to get them drunk

Good read for next generation fans

>>42292756
Name more than one (1) episode besides The Naked Now that was An Unused TOS Script.
I swear Mike and Rich can just say any shit and everyone parrots it.

>>42291706
Almost in his mid-90s, and he's still based as fuck. Thank you Bill.
Star Trek died 20 years ago, and given how things are these days, I don't think it's coming back.

>>42292822
I really dislike that Voyager kind of given up at the premise of "our star ship is falling apart, time to play Ship of Theseus with random ass 24th century alien tech", like they still kind of did it here and there but for most part it feels like really under cooked.
Memes are fun thu.

Not /trek/ but I feel like Anons would be interested in this, there is this new indie cartoon Spice Frontier, so far there is only a pilot episode on the youtube however it looks pretty promising. I would say it seems like a nice combo of Star Trek (exploring different planets and species) and Star Wars (fun adventure, with the technology operating on "it just werks" level without throwing technobable every five seconds).

>>42294305
Got a link?

>>42294400

Also it looks like they made bit of tech demo ten months ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laIES7iJXko
The bit of background lore that isn't really presented is they seem to copy the part of Titan AE were humanity got it's ass whooped so hard they needed to evacuate and live spread out among the stars.

>>42294551
This looks interesting, thanks anon.

>>42294556
i hope you enjoy it. Honestly I wish we could get the new cartoon that is same to Star Wars to what the Orville is to Star Trek.

>>42295249
Ironically enough, Star Trek Prodigy had that vibe. It very much was a "Star Wars, but in Trek universe" thing.

>>42295434
I guess I can see that, I had really low expectation for it since the first few episodes didn't really felt interesting, but once they get the whole space exploration going it was pretty good.
I was pretty impress how they kept the whole plot from one episode to another going, it was so snappy, which was a pretty great surprise since most of the cartoons are lazily written as to not expect to follow the actual plot.

I heard the ST IP has been ruined beyond repair by Paramount and wokies. How true is this?

Picard's cutie mark goes in hard. Makes a lot of sense. Tho the stabbing happened around academy graduation, so he was basically an adult by this time, a bit late to get a cutie mark. I am not sure what Riker's CM could be. Trombone? I can't really think of any self-defining moments from his past. Probably the most meaningful thing would be his conflict with his father. I guess some generic leadership cutie mark would have to do.

>>42297780
>. I am not sure what Riker's CM could be. Trombone? I can't really think of any self-defining moments from his past. Probably the most meaningful thing would be his conflict with his father.
It could be an anbo-jyutsu staff. I'm not deep in the pony lore, do they wrap their fetlocks around things to hold them or use their teeth?

>>42297801
It depends on how serious the animators are feeling that day

I know it's just licensed fanfics, but that whole thing was just bizarre. Also, pic related for the thread tax.

>>42292718
TOS if you like camp and don't mind horrible 60s special effects. TNG if you want something more "normal". You gotta tank the first season and parts of season two, though, as they're rough. Once Riker gets his nautical beard, though, you know it's gold from here on until S7 and the ghost fucking, anyway.

>>42297244
I wouldn't say beyond repair, but it's pretty grim. To give you an idea of how grim, WW3 was originally started by some vague eugenics shit in Asia spiraling out of control. Now, it was started by BLM and MAGA having a civil war.

Hopefully Skydance will clean house and get the nerds running the asylum again.

>>42307928
>To give you an idea of how grim, WW3 was originally started by some vague eugenics shit in Asia spiraling out of control. Now, it was started by BLM and MAGA having a civil war.
Wait, so they retconned Khan? They ret-Khanned? That's unforgivable!

>>42307928
I'd characterize TOS more as "post-WW2 science fiction." It's a good fit for someone who likes Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, etc. It helps to have an appreciation for camp, but I think that's because some things that we look on as campy nowadays, like the banter among Kirk, Spock, and Bones, were at the time considered just a normal part of any TV show.

>>42304826
I think they have very similar outlooks, albeit they're presented for different age ranges. Also just a personal opinion but I think they're both at their best when they embrace their inherent campiness. Nu-Trek and late-season FiM both have a bad habit of taking themselves too seriously.

holy shit this thread is still kicking
I am impressed

>>42309012
pretty neat. I kind of wish there was more discussion on how people would like to fix the Lower Deck, since I like the premise of following the low rank offices but the execution was bit sucky.

>>42293446
It's kinda sad but rather than appreciate MLP as this big fantasy thing with all its lore, whenever I write I keep trying to turn it into science fiction. 'Too damn much magic, need to make it more 'realistic' so that there are actually 'stakes' when anything of consequence happens.

>>42309481
>how people would like to fix the Lower Deck
Oh, it's easy. You'd only have to fire the showrunner, the entire writers room, the producers, the art team – and them, maybe, you'd have a good show. Keep the cast, they're good, but everyone else stinks.

>>42309490
All you need to fix that is to establish the rules of magic and stick to 'em. Feeling Pinkie Keen goes in the trash, Twilight was right, magic can too be analyzed scientifically. She went to fucking college to learn how, dammit!

I still wonder if the original idea of destroying the Enterprise-D in the S6 finale and getting a new ship for S7 would have revitalized TNG and kept it going another few seasons without them desperate scraping for ideas like the warp speed limit or if it would have been received like it was in Generations.

>>42304972
I like FiM more than OldFiM

>>42308080
>Wait, so they retconned Khan?
Calling it now, they'll somehow turn Khan into Trump or something. They'd be retarded enough to do it.

>>42310091
but why thu?

>>42309920
Well that is reasonable enough to say certainly. However, another question that I have isn't just the consistently of the rules in Equestria but elsewhere. If you take these ponies and move them out of their realm do those rules apply to the same extent and, if not, why would that not be the case?
