In Trek Ranks, what is the best animated Star Trek series?:

https://www.slashfilm.com/1891805/star-trek-animated-shows-ranked/

No surprise. The Best Animated Star Trek Series are those scrappy underdogs of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

>>212264457

>>212263063
It happens surprisingly often for some reason. I think the horseshoe crab/stingray shape throws people.

>>212264549
fun fact, in star trek 3 it was originally suppose to be romulans but it was changed as it was thought they weren't as well known as klingons, but they had already begun building the ship so the design and name 'bird of prey' stuck. You can easily see how it was suppose to be a romulan ship with the wings and the green coloring

>>212264588
whoever the moyer guy was I hate him, why even have the model if you don't know what you've got

>>212264813
i don't think its shown much at all in any of the shows, maybe some ds9 cg. it mostly shows up in game and is a decent early 'dont care if it gets blown up' ship. i think its actual design is a kitbash, not original

>>212264856
its in the armada games, its a weak ass tiny ship like a cheap version of the defiant before you get access to those, you are correct in that is a 'don't care if it gets blown up' class

How does the Risan economy work.
Starfleet personnel can take shore leave there free of charge as they don't have money, so presumably the place is free.
It's just a big whore planet that can be used by anyone?
What do they eat, what is their tax policy?
What is stopping anyone from just saying "fuck you Starfleet I'll be living here for the rest of my days"?

>>212265134
it looks like they took the main section from here >>212263141
reversed it (what anon said about the marauder looking backwards) and slapped a saucer section on the top, but akira'd the nacels. i don't hate it as far as a kitbash goes

>>212265240
move the nacelles forward more so they are 1/2 1/2 between the 'wings' and it would be acceptable

flat white is the most popular coffee order in melbourne, thats it that is the extent of the 'joke'

>>212265472
a flat white is just a type of coffee that was probably invented in melbourne, unless you're a new zealander that claims every australian invention as their own.

>>212265520
>>212265525
not him but i'm with janeway on this one - black. regular coffee of any sort, but no additives like sugar or milk. even tea, adding shit removes the flavor. why drink tea if you don't want to taste tea? tea > coffee anyways, picard was mostly right

ok that anon was right, this lore plot is fucking stupid
>I don't have the emotion chip so I'm not evil anymore
wtf?

>>212265472
anon is making a comment on Australian coffee culture. The flat white being the most popular coffee here. Now Melbourne being full of hipster faggots a better joke would have been "the only starship whose captain drinks deconstructed soi turmeric raktajino latte with a side of smashed avocado toast" or something like that.

>>212265593
Lately I've been getting into this Yemeni coffee kick. They roast it super light which makes it a pain in the dick to grind but it's the smoothest coffee you'll ever have. They have it black and sometimes add cardamom, ginger or clove, so it's like Goth Tea.
I assume Yemen was laid waste by Khan or else Janeway would be mainlining that shit

>>212265593
except we have really really good coffee in australia, its why starbucks never took off here, seriously look it up we are constantly rated as having the best in the world

>>212265670
>seriously look it up
give me a qrd. my main point is if you have something so strong already like coffee, why would you want to dull its flavor with extra things? i apply the same to tea

>>212265670
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_culture_in_Australia
Damn, I learned something. Thanks, Anon!

>>212263578
How dare you. It is your obligation to ensure more people become Trek fans. But only classic Trek, not the nuTrek tranny lezzo dykes one. I get the feeling you're not sufficiently committed to classic Trek.

>>212265760
its just really good quality and our barristas know how to make it properly, something like starbucks is subpar at best compared to any random cafe. I have a flat white mostly because I drink a lot of alcohol so its easier on the stomach in the morning, if I'm having coffee later in the day I'll have it black

>>212265760
>if you have something so strong already like coffee, why would you want to dull its flavor with extra things? i apply the same
Coffee and tea nerd here, most people use the wrong temperature and steep times for both, or fail to degas (in the case of coffee). So they compensate with milk/cream to blunt the extra bitterness from over extraction or sourness from under extraction.
Then people get used to it and it becomes habit.

>>212264233
I don't care what some normie trannies think. We are right, they are wrong, Shatner is on our side, case closed.

>>212265213
The people of Risa are not whores. There's no money in the Federation. They fuck visiting strangers out of the goodness of their heart and because they want to make a valuable contribution to society. Just like dilithium miners. It is by no means illogical or contradictory, and once again, everything that happens in classic Trek makes perfect sense, is consistent, and is by no means soft-core porn. Peace be upon Roddenberry and his divine wisdom.

>>212265888
>Shatner is on our side, case closed.
While classic Trek has more SOVL, I wouldn't use Shatner as the barometer for that. He was a working actor and took any job that fit. He did an Esperanto movie, FFS. I don't think he bought into Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision so much as it was a paycheque for him.
Then later he realizes it is his primary source of notoriety, even though he put much more effort into TJ Hooker, Boston Legal, and being the Big Giant Head on 3rd Rock.
He didn't write, he read someone else's lines. So while his opinion is, IMO, correct, it's coincidental. I care more what someone like DC Fontana would think.

>>212265382
But he was willing to do it. That makes him a nuTrek tranny. He must be condemned. There is no forgiveness. It's what those cancel-happy wokesters would do to us, if they got the chance.

>>212265951
>They fuck visiting strangers out of the goodness of their heart
There is actual precedent for this, Marco Polo and ibn Khaldun both wrote about a culture along the silk road that did this

>>212266009
don't respond to that guy he's a nu-trek tranny thats just seething because he was banned yesterday

>>212265472
You have to use coconut cream in your coffee. Milk-based creamers have lactose, which hits your body like refined sugar. Non-dairy coffee creamers are mostly soibean oil, which will turn you trans and make you think nuTrek is acceptable. Coconut cream only changes the color of your coffee slightly, since it doesn't contain all those artificial food dyes you find in plebbit creamers. Coconut cream is the only way to avoid despoiling our precious bodily fluids.

>>212265842
have you ever tried the same coffee without any of the extra stuff in it?

>>212265862
>most people use the wrong temperature and steep times for both
well aware, but i don't. my mom does it all the time when i see her, making tea in the microwave and its luke-warm when it comes out. not enough heat to get into the leaves the release the flavor, not enough time to steep. it drives me nuts

lately i'm on a herbal red tea kick. holy crap is it excellent

>>212265999
Wasting trips on hate instead of talking about Star Trek. Not digits your ancestors would be proud of.
Also what base system does the Federation use? Base-10 seems like a stupid artifact of us having five fingers on each hand, but hexadecimal makes more sense.

>>212266127
>making tea in the microwave

>>212266127
didn't I just say if I have coffee later in the day i'll have it black? of course I have, like I said we have really good coffee no matter how you have it, a flat white just goes down smoother first thing in the day

>>212265970
No, don't you get it?! Shatner hates Lezzo Dykes! He's one of us! End of discusion! Why can't you see what's plainly in front of your face??

>>212266106
coconut cream is disgusting

I wonder has anyone ever read tek wars? I've read his kirk returns novels but never tek wars

>>212266235
Please, for the love of God, do not imply Tekwars was anything other than a cheap cash grab.
He directed TFF and I think it's an underrated film, I'll give him that.

>>212266009
Exactly! Star Trek is based on actual history, which makes it even more based.
>>212266042
You sound like the nuTrek tranny. Why are you even here?

see now THAT would be funny, a Risa style free-love-jamaharron thing, except on a completely desolate ice planet. Maybe they can try to make it appealing with Iceland-style ice hotels, but the truth is you're going to a deep freezer to fuck some strange. Sort of like Tawny Newsome's pitch, but on Hoth. Tawn-Tawn meets Tauntaun.

as long as the water is heated you can hardly screw it up. i prefer a boiling kettle then waiting a few mins to steep. its simple. but some people need to save that whole minute i guess. preparing it and waiting for it is half the fun, then finally tasting it once its ready

>>212266805
Bet you think fruit juice is wholesome and healthy, too? It's not. Fructose, freed from the fiber and pulp of the fruit, is no better than eating straight sugar. You're driving your body to ruin & don't even know it. No coincidence that you like nuTrek.

>>212265999
nah, I just have a sense of humor, I'm willing to wade into shit for comedy gold and nicely compiled rage fuel, I wanted to make a version of the migleemo thing that's like the poochie itchy and scratchy cartoon. "I have to go now, my planet needs me" *slides upwards* "Migleemo died in a transporter accident" drawn in green crayon, cut to credits.
I think presenting the Migleemo B plot on its own shows how truly shit it is too, I had many reasons for doing it, partly I just wanted to test out these new video editing tools that don't require re-encoding, the Klingon cut I did was not re-encoded from the file that came from amazon's services, just cut and re-joined, despite those cuts not being on keyframes, it's really fuckin cool stuff. Migleemo's side had to be re-encoded on most of the clips because the tool is still flawed, but just having such pure shite compiled in one spot so people can point at it and go "this is what was cringe about LD" is also valuable to some.
whoever keyframed that source video file hated the migleemo subplot as well, that's for sure.

>>212266250

>>212266520
>doesn't like I, Borg
Faggot poser

I had no idea nicole de boer was a star trek fan before being cast, apparently a director told her they should be crouching down when they beam in, to which she told him no everyone always beams in standing up and to call the writers room if he didn't believe her, the director did and the writers confirmed that yes they always beam in standing up.

it's been proven to be the best source of hydration and electrolytes, if you drink milk and get a health issue outside of something like lactose intolerance at worst, you are likely to be physically unwell in some way.

It's good, but coconut water is actually isotonic and can be used as an emergency substitution for blood plasma (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/can-coconut-water-substitute-blood-plasma). So it's not *the* best.
That said, a good class of cold choccy milk is aces after a good workout

>>212267016
The space jesus thing was stupid and not star trek and neither was making the prophets just literal gods. In the early seasons they seemed like omnipotent bajoran gods because of random circumstance, but were actually just alien beings who existed out of linear time and didn't even know about their reputation until Sisko told them. At the end of season 6 with the pah wraiths and the start of season 7 with Sisko's mom, the wormhole aliens became actual divine beings and protectors of bajor and talk about "destiny" in bullshit mystical riddles, and also have their own evil demons. It was set up so cleverly in the pilot and then Behr just came in and shat all over it.

>>212267153
STDs probably don’t even exist in the Trek universe. Or if you get one, your doctor will just wave a wand over your junk and cure it.

>>212267180
it wasn't the episode I posted it just reminded me of what I had read the other night, the episode the argument with the director was siege of ar 558, so the director wanted them all crouching down on beam in because they were going into a warzone when nicole pointed out that it just isn't the done thing and wouldn't budge on the issue.

>>212267180
diabetes sufferers are the only ones obsessed with sugar. also a nigger disease. you're not doing much to beat the accusations, lol.

>>212267148
Actually I'm going to have to concede, I read "TekLab" which is the third in the series.

>>212267280
i know it's not the done thing but to be fair to the director it seems like common sense if going into a warzone

I regret to inform that the NuTrek tranny moderator is currently lurking.

>>212267222
you are forgetting they are non-linear, the first time ben meets them is the first time they meet corporeal linear beings, so because that meeting happened that meeting was always going to happen so they made sure it did, as they are non-linear they influenced all of bajors history, its an odd concept to wrap your head around but it makes sense

>>212267274
most of the time

>>212267291

>>212267335
>, the first time ben meets them is the first time they meet corporeal linear beings
except it isn't, because they met the previous emissary (the guy obsessed with djaras) as well as sisko's mum

>>212267302
sure he just didn't realize its just one of those things you don't do, like gene would say about some of his directors
>he wouldn't know the difference between a deflector dish and a shield array
but to be fair he was brought on because he was a great director he even fought in vietnam so having him direct a war episode seems obvious and he did a great job, he also directed all good things btw.,

>>212267424
that was after they met the sisko, as I said non-linear time is a bit difficult to wrap your head around

>>212267134
It's just a lazy attempt at scifi. Christmas is Xmas, guns are all either lazguns, tekguns or stunguns. Need to write about air conditioning, it's now an aircirc system. A elevated Train, that's the sky tram. Who makes tek? Teklords.
What is their next diabolical plan? Supertek.

Oh no, NuTrek bros! I think Kurtzman and his team should quit to protest this!

>>212267776
its just flux + the new 'kontext' stuff. sd has no good loras for the style (i tried them). this new flux thing just werks. what do you suggest?

the neat thing about this new way is you speak naturally to it, rather than inpaint. so like i take a pic of picard standing, then a second great pic of a ak47, and my prompt is 'the man is holding the gun', and it uses all pics as a reference

Career? There's no money in Star Trek. Risa "whores" would have to do it voluntarily, for no monetary reward, in a world where all their basic needs are met even if they do nothing.

QUICK! MAKE ANOTHER VILLAIN BASED ON DRUMPF!

>>212267222

No, Gary Seven was the guest character in TOS "Assignment: Earth". Gary Mitchell was an ascended human, so I don't count him as a god. Trek had plenty of gods without him, yet they acted as if they had moved past religion. Serious cope, given what they literally ran into.

I did say "the Q", i.e. referring to all of them. And you forgot Quinn.
>>212268252
Oh yeah, the Douwd! Semi-divine, at least.

i hated the "phaser rifles" in ds9 so much now I see the idea isn't even new but in TOS it actually looked good and not like a normal phaser glued onto the end of 2x2

>>212268249
Yes I know who Gary Seven is, he's just got timelord tier tech, Gary Mitchell ascended to godhood. Also they did have religion the enterprise has a chapel, uhura was christian and even in the 24 century the episode I just watched had this
Cassidy Yates
>my mom would prefer her daughter get married by a minister
just because its not front and center their is nothing to suggest earth religion disappeared, not even mentioning those 4 little words no wait I am
Ah-Koo-Chee-Moya

>>212268325
funny I was just thinking how much I like them, all the little bits and parts how they can be dissembled modded, and siege of ar558 shows very clearly why you use rifles both for accuracy and in an extended firefight they run out of power so you replace the power packs, with handheld phasers they run out much quicker, and of course they can be sued for melee in a pinch

>>212268325
phasers went through dbz levels of power creep where its said by ryker that a single one can take out blocks. since they only shoot lasers, there is little reason for full on long-rifle stuff. the rest is so it looks good on screen

>>212268413
>sued for melee
Fuck that lawyerball shit and fight like a man

>>212268428
yeah, the only reason i didn't like them is because that thing Dax is holding looks like utter shit on screen.

>>212268441
used for melee, lol, actually no I'm happy with the typo I'm owning it

>>212268325
I've always hated the way phasers have looked in general. Very boring. The phaser rifle kirk is holding is one of the better designs. They just all look like remotes to a TV.

>>212268441
now I'm imagining a court case where the klingons are being sued for switching to melee

>>212268459
>thing Dax is holding looks like utter shit on screen
can you be more specific? screenshot?

>>212268487
I understood your typo anon, I was just making a joke

>>212268500
that was the idea the whole point from tng onwards was they were suppose to be multipurpose tools that could also be used as weapons, they are designed intentionally to not look like guns

>>212268539
I get it, I'm just enjoying the image of the ferengi suing starfleet for going to melee

>>212262903
Why is the Cube and like DS9 so small compared to the rest of the ships? The should massively dwarf them!

>>212268334
Hey, I'm on your side, anon. But there are some fans that think the Federation is some sort of atheist paradise. I'm just calling them out for neglecting a LOT of gods.

>>212267865
What does that have to do with Trek?

>>212268583
just the way they were made, also I had like 3 of those cubes they always broke, they were hollow inside and the plastic was too rigid, at least one corner would always snap off

>>212265970
>He didn't write, he read someone else's lines.
Bet you didn't read Star Trek: The Return
My mom even had it as a book on tape.

>>212268517
I will be your cha'DIch

>>212268606
yea it bugs me too, its really not like that in any of real trek, youve got spirit quests many discussions about the afterlife. Its flanderization or something like that, somewhere along the way this idea that the federation is atheist crept in not sure when it happened but it was after real trek was over

>>212268548
I'm sure there's lots of good reasons for it. It just visually looks bad on screen. Doesn't matter in the end because I don't watch Star Trek for the action or gun fights

>>212268676
Secular doesn't equal atheist unless you're some assmad turbo evangelical proselytizing

>>212268718
sure but for some reason now a lot of retards think that means the federation was atheist as a whole

>>212267014
Satan being a lot more like a charming persuasive Kirk makes a lot more sense.

Terrible execution

>>212268763
no wonder rdm bailed to make his own voyager, with blackjack and hookers

>>212268754
Fair, but like you said if you watch starfleet is always giving deference to customs and religions, they just don't usually show humans engaging in it.

>>212268805
usually no, which is probably why the misconception began

>>212268784
I love bsg but I don't want to start slapfights here over it. Though this is a pretty based place to talk scifi and I assume there are alot of bsg/good trek fans. To me they fulfilled different entertainmebt needs

>>212268763
>>212268784
and yet, in the end, the best Voyager was Stargate Universe.

>>212268837
oh definitely, I wouldn't want star trek to be bsg or visa versa, but the original idea was voyager would have consequences an on going plot, thats why they spent so much time in the pilot and the first couple eps setting up things like
>we have only 2 shuttles
>biomemedic gel
>combined starfleet and maquis crew
etc, then berman came in and said no its going to be serialized and we are going to reset end of each ep so you can watch them in any order. At the time it made sense but I imagine Voy would be much better thought of if it showed the progression and change of both the crew and the ship as they went along, some great stories could've come out of it too, like
>we have one shuttle barely working left, but we need water since we don't have enough power to make more then 3 days worth
or something like that, they've got one 1/2 working shuttle and have to gamble on a risky mission to get water or energy or w/e. Then next week we know the shuttle is out of commission and need to rescue some crew or something. You see what I mean it doesn't restrict the story telling it leads to much better stories wins are felt that much more because they were earned.

>>212269023
all that and you missed the torpedo count
https://youtu.be/PIGxMENwq1k

>>212269149
I actually deleted an entire paragraph on that because my post was becoming really really long, but yes of course torpedos too. Also its not like they couldn't sometimes get a full reload from some of the super advanced species they met it would just be rare and when it happened it would be a huge deal

>>212269023
I think I prefer episodic, I think Berman was right. Seeing what we've seen with serialized "stories just keep going" tv shows they are a lot more like old fashioned "Come back next week and see if Buckaroo Bonsai can get out of this one!" type writing than like a good long novel. A good long story is going to have some boring parts but TV isn't allowed to have boring parts.

>>212269149
thats a 10/10 vid, fantastic

>>212269288
its not about not having boring parts or long form story telling, ds9 did it, but they kept track of what they had and were dealing with, voy as you can see from the other anons yt vid did not, you can have both

>>212269337
I guess so

>>212269219
>I actually deleted an entire paragraph on that because my post was becoming really really long

>>212269288
A mix of both would be nice, ironically BSG did a good job in season 1 of having stories that moved the overall plot and then problem of the week stories that could be woven into the bigger picture. Like the Tom Zerek episode with needing prisoners to mine water, it has a conclusion and no cliffhanger ending but you've introduced a reoccurring character. Ending every episode on a cliffhanger would be cancer, but so wax almost every Kazaar episode

>>212270009
anon that is literally the vid I'm replying to >>212269149

I blame RDM because he hated the Enterprise-D since day one for petty boomer reasons.
>waaahh it's a space hotel

>>212270595
Not that the Enterprise-E isn't pure sex, though.

>>212270595
he didn't have a say in designing E that's a weird thing to put on him

>>212270595
>just making up complete lies because you didn't like BSG

>>212270595
Never heard that, but the point of tng is the comfyness
https://youtu.be/XajaCX88NnU?si=w2n3Blpxrt0ys2hN

>>212270595
rdm never said or even implied that, if you are going to continue this irrational rdm hate you really should try to be honest about it.

>>212266250
I got like halfway into the first book and gave up, it's really boring. I'm more disappointed I gave Bill money for it than anything, even if it was $2

>>212270595
The Ent-D WAS a space hotel. But that meant it could be whatever the plot needed for that week.

>>212270650
He co-wrote Generations where the D gets nerfed pathetically

>>212270767
It looked like a place you could bring your family to. Now after encounter at far point I think I'd be sending my kids back to earth, certainly after q-who

>>212270810
Co-wrote, with Braga.

Why didn't you mention Brannon Braga anon?

>>212270810
yes and? that doesn't mean he had anything to do with how the E looks, as far as he knew they could've just reconstructed D or gotten a new galaxy class or anything else, that means nothing

>>212267520
If it makes you feel better Shatner didn't really write it himself, they were ghostwritten by someone else. Which honestly makes them better than if he wrote them personally

>>212270864
Braga never publicly said how much he hated the D (lol) and having families on board a starship

>>212270810
The d died with the movie lighting

>>212270947
I actually like the movie bridge especially the extra stations on the sides, makes it feel more busy and less empty

>>212270874
yea I know the kirk returns series has 2 two other writers credited which I assume actually did most of if not all the writing, its fine he wanted kirk to live and have fun adventures and become 1/2 romulan and fuck sela and destroy the borg and...anyway its fun enough doesn't mean I'll ever read tekwars

>>212270938
and rdm did? sauce?

>>212270341

>>212270962
it has this horrible yellow piss filer over everything in generations, just terrible

>>212271022
The fuck?

>>212270938
It is really stupid how there are toddlers running around on a ship that’s constantly being attacked. With a Second Officer who’s a weapon of mass destruction and also constantly getting possessed.

>>212271049
>horrible piss filer
I know that's a typo but it's a very apt description of generations, which is still probably the best tng movie. That fucking emotion chip gave me secondhand embarassment in the theater.

>>212271119
sorry about the typo but I mean it had a literal weird yellow filter over most of the enterprise scenes especially the bridge scenes and it pisses me off every time I watch it

>>212271049
>>212271119
speaking of horrible piss, how's that model TOS bridge coming along

>>212271358
? someones making a TOS bridge model?

>>212271368
now thats gorgeous

>>212271083
Stupid, meh it was hopeful if not misguided. It also led to the best kino with picard having to interact with children. Also it was supposed to show that starfleet wasn't a military organization. As a parent it's kind of terrifying but when I was kid the idea that I could just be a kid on that ship was awesome

>>212271056
The Enterprise-E was going to be a Galaxy class ship again if the budget for First Contact was too low. The budget for FC turned out to be big enough that they were able to build a new model >>212270285

>>212271388
TNG was still very much a Navy in space show on a submarine. A lot of the stories were built around unreasonable amounts of conflict or danger for children to be exposed to, and this is from the very start.

The only one obsessed with the concept and who liked the saucer separation shit was Gene himself which is why as his health failed and he relinquished control (really after the pilot), it was more or less never used again.

>>212271388
Thar one episode where the mother of the child dies and the whole crew steps in to comfort him was top kino. The ship was a giant family, and that's comfy. I found it unrealistic the kid would want to leave the ship though

>>212271432
Gene was right, I'd rather go with my dad on his 5 year space mission and risk my life then sit on earth eating my grandpa's shitty gumbo.
>Yeah thanks gramps, I'm just gonna replicate some taquitos

>>212271368
>>212271386

>>212271455
Are you referring to The Bonding? That was a great episode. Full of heart. It reminded me of Piccolo and Gohan in a way.

>>212271515
Yeah, it seems like a very cool concept to children too naive to realize the dangers and implications.

But it's extremely unreasonable for Starfleet to allow such a thing lol

>>212271530
You can see the dental mirrors on the left and right side of the Enterprise that they used to make spotlights on the ship.

>>212271530
thats ai

>>212271557
I think it's fine, I'd rather be with my parents and risk my life and see the galaxy over spending my childhood without them on earth. The enterprise is the extreme example since the flagship is likely to see shit, but for the majority of fleet vessels it's probably as safe as anywhere. We'll until the dominion war and the borg

>>212271550
>Piccolo and Gohan
who?

>>212271879
NuTroon characters. Disregard.

>>212271218
why are some wearing a new type uniform but others are not?

that kid was great in robocop 2

Fellow Trek boomers, I am starved. Help me decide whether to give SNW or Picard a chance at all.
Like: Some of TOS, most TOS movies, TNG, DS9, ENT
Sort of enjoyed following LD.

Is the big PIC "return of the crew" as cringe and cynical as it looks from youtube clips?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOpwuHFs4fc

I found this video hella interesting, enjoy my fellow trekkies who have not yet seen it
>>212272294
the answer is always no to Nu Trek, are you fucking kidding me? Even the question angers me.

>>212272200
They literally borrowed what they could from DS9 lmao. They actually had a movie specific uniform planned but scrapped the idea. Some official action figures have it - they look like TNG uniforms but double breasted like the monster maroons.

>>212272294
Don't bother with Picard. I sat through all three seasons. Don't bother with it.

>>212272294
just don't do it

>Is the big PIC "return of the crew" as cringe and cynical as it looks from youtube clips?
0.01% better than Nemesis, but not a single moral dilemma or ethical problem to solve. It's just some dumb space opera. I like Michael Dorn's performance. Everyone else is just there to get a paycheck.

>>212272570
Dorn is always reliably locked in when everyone else is checked out. One of Trek’s strongest soldiers, through and through.

>>212272551
it is interesting not like its anything we don't know but seeing it all complied in this way is interesting, good vid good post

>>212272570
I really like how Dorn is like
>i'm playing worf so I am going to play worf fuck you for phoning it in
on the other hand for once spiner did play data like data and lore like lore, maybe just to show off that he could still do it.

between that and multiple appearances on Night Court I think he either needs the cash or is extremely bored

lmao, but no I think his pride got he better of him so he was basically in the mind set of
>no I can still do data, no I can still do lore one last time fuck you all I can do it
and to be fair he did

>>212273063
to be fair, he really kills it as bob wheeler, even old bob wheeler

He unironically did nothing wrong, the Hossnok (unsure of spelling) fucked around and found out.
