Trek post 2005 has aids

I will burn your heart in a fire.

This is a CARDASSIAN station, Jake

Apologies to the /trek/ for going political. It was not my intention. Carry on. Peace and Long Life.

>>212903611 (OP)
Q. What do incels around here and Riker have in common on the holodeck?

A. One wants a band, the other a girl, both with "bones for me".

Why did DS9 have so many side characters when TNG barely had any?
And if TNG did they appeared in 1 episode per season a-la Q or Lwaxana. Perhaps Ro too.

Recurring DS9 characters
>Dukat, Garak, Dumar, Female Changeling, Weyoun, Rom, Nog, Zek, Leeta, Keiko, Kai Winn, Vedek Bareil, Shakaar, Sloan, Michael Eddington, Vic Fontaine, Brunt, Martok, Gowron, Ishka, Ziyal, Morn, Admiral Ross, Enabran Tain, Lwaxana Troi (again), Kasidy Yates

Rewatching TNG just feels so empty after seeing DS9.

I went a little Benny Sisko about Far Beyond the Stars.

>>212903924
almost all of those are a 1 ep per season deal though
after seeing them once you knew they'd be gone for quite a while
with DS9 side characters you got the feel they could show up at any moment

>>212903841

It's not that there's more. the DS9 ones simply steal the show.

>>212903841
Change was just barely starting turning shows into ongoing drama. Only soap operas did that for decades, most shows did not. Character arc? Say what?

Someone figured out that, when done well at least, it was popular and added to the show. Same thing for movies, the best have a resolution to the main conflict, as well as some arc development of a character.

Except for Ghostbusters.

>>212904126
For real, this was a glaring "come on" from me. Agree that it makes so little sense for Nog to be where he is.

>>212904126
>is played by an old man

>>212904223
He wasn't even part of Red Squad (until that one episode at least).
He was a very adequate cadet.

Put him in the engine room sure but the bridge?
When DS9 has 3000 people and god knows how many Starfleet and Bajoran militia personnel at their disposal?
Odd stuff.
>>212904262
Nog's age was pretty in line with Eisenberg's age though, wasn't it?
>23-24 in S1, 29-30 in S7
hmm a little older than I guess
Sisko did say that Nog is older than Jake though. Perhaps Ferengi develop a little slower which is why he attended school with him?
Nog probably had near the best arc of anyone on the show, despite it jumping logic a little bit.
Remember how he was just a troublemaker in S1? Night and Day.

>In the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Die Trying" that aired November 12, 2020, Eisenberg was honored by a flyby of an Eisenberg-class ship named the USS Nog with the registry number of NCC-325070

god damn do I hate it when they break the 4th wall like this
When Kira and Bashir have that completely gratuitous scene in the infirmary where she exlaims "This is all your fault you know" pointing at her pregnant belly I wanted to punch a hole in the wall.

I'm one of them, and it's a horrible existence.

That's subtle and cute though.

>>212904662
It added absolutely nothing to the episode other than to break the 4th wall and rub our face in it.

>>212904739
Sometimes a joke is just a joke my good sire.

>>212904739
Ahem, I'm tempted to agree, and also the whole DC Fontana thing in Far Beyond the Stars is another stupid 4th wall breaking thing. A science fiction story about science fiction writers? D'yikes.

>>212905547
I cant believe that there weren't hundreds of half Cardie children on Bajor. it's kinda farfetched that she couldn't fit in to the degree it was too distressing to even live there

Yes anon you said side/recurring characters. Those aren't characters you would see all the time on a show about a spaceship that travels to unknown parts of the galaxy. Unless it's guinan or Obrien because they live there.
>after seeing them once you knew they'd be gone for quite a while
Yes tng was on a ship in space that was moving, not a stationary outpost
>with DS9 side characters you got the feel they could show up at any moment

>>212905777
Also raises the question of if they used Nick instead of Tom Paris for Voyager, would he have turned out to be a better person given he was given a positive atmosphere to deal with his problems or would he still fester into the monster he was?

Reminder that Star Trek discussion is anathema to these invaders. Discuss a good in-depth Trek topic and their interest in the thread will wither on the vine.

What's the best S2 episode of TNG?

>>212906802
Answer the question about Nick first.

>>212906802
Measure of a Man is one of the best of the series, let alone season 2

>>212906802
Elementary dear data, measure of a man and q who. Pretty standard takes, but all good. I’ll even throw peak performance in there just cause it’s a good data episode with that great Picard line at the end.

>>212906845
What

>>212906979
If Nick Locarno was used instead of Tom Paris, your spoiler text is silly as shit too because you were giving a valid topic.

>>212906851
>>212906963
I'm with you but Q Who is the clear winner imo.

Measure of a Man is a bit overrated. It has great moments but it's ultimately a flawed premise.
>Data's sentience and right to exist as an individual was never questioned in his 20+ years of Starfleet experience (he clarifies he's been in Starfleet for 26 years in the episode where he stops the Romulan blockade run)
It beggars belief a little bit, doesn't it? Fine Picard speech though.
also Maddox seems a bit TOO evil for a Starfleet guy. How the fuck did he pass his psyche profile?

>>212907027
Not sure what you're talking about, I probably have the post you're talking about filtered and didn't even see it. But they didn't use Locarno because they didn't want to pay the writer of The First Duty for 7 years of Voyager residuals.

>>212904582
SUSAN SARANDON

>>212907040
Maddox doesn't seem evil and it's not really a "flawed premise" that in 25 years no one had specifically wanted to dismantle and research him which is a highly specific situation where human rights come into question whereas they were taken for granted before

>>212907077
Pickle Trek brought him back as a gag like they do with anything.

Locarno actively manipulated and tried to conceal the accident. He never showed remorse, only regret for getting caught.

Paris screwed up and his conscience made him come clean to face the consequences.

They are not the same.

>>212907040
I agree with you about measure of man. It’s a great idea for an episode, but given context, as you point out, it falters. If somebody was going to dissect data it would’ve happened shortly after he was found not decades into a career. It’s a great casual watch for people who are loosely familiar with Trek or who haven’t seen a lot of episodes.

>>212907137
Well, no, but wouldn't they discuss his sentience and his rights as an individual on his actual entrance to Starfleet Academy?

It's meant to be really hard to get into the Academy. You're scrutinized in a ton of different ways, not just academically but also psychologically.
It just seems impossible that it never came up before this. Data was a Lieutenant Commander at this time, wasn't he? Or a Lieutenant at least, the same rank as Tuvok.
26 years as an officer, serving on god knows how many assignments with who knows how many COs and JAGs around and nobody ever broached it?

>>212907198
No but they did WANT to use Locarno and give him a redemption arc. It would've been interesting if Paris' character had that extra edge.

You can tell in S1 and S2 of Voyager that Paris was intended to be more of a misanthrope though. He's a bit of a cunt, particularly to Chakotay.

>>212907233
Maddox was just the biggest psychopath in the federation and it was really an episode about his ambition as a cyberneticist.

>>212907233
>Well, no, but wouldn't they discuss his sentience and his rights as an individual on his actual entrance to Starfleet Academy?
I don't know the entire protocol but I would think no. They probably treated him like anyone else because establishing that you're sufficiently sentient and deserving of human rights isn't really a checkbox in the Starfleet assessment and application process. It's taken for granted by virtue of the fact that you're applying for Starfleet.

>>212907077
And? What if the producers weren't cheap as fuck and paid the writers their royalties to use Nick, would things have been different?

>>212907305
It would have to be a discussion, though. If a liberated Borg applied to Starfleet, you don't think the Admirals would form a committee and talk about it? They'd just automatically grant it admission into Starfleet?

>>212907331
Yeah they'd probably interview it like they do anyone and then assess is it would be a security threat the same way they do with Romulans. They wouldn't debate if it deserves any rights or not.

>>212907250
From what I understand they wanted to use Robert McNeil.
>Tom Paris was written into the first half-dozen or so Star Trek: Voyager scripts with little or no knowledge as to who would play the part.
>When the producers were trying to cast the role of Tom Paris, they couldn't find anyone that seemed to match Robert Duncan McNeill's persona, so they eventually just asked him to read for the role, and he got the part.

>>212907322
Well given how quick the VOY writers abandoned their initial plan of conflict for the show, who knows.

But the main difference in Locarno and Paris' characters isn't even the lack of remorse in my opinion, it's that Locarno had that ineffable quality of leadership, like the Kirk gigachad gene or something, that just makes guys want to follow them through pure charisma and force of personality.
He even made goody-two-shoes Wesley Crusher lie for him which is an incredible feat.

A guy like Locarno can't be on a ship like Voyager without ending up as the XO at least, he's too charismatic. That would be the proper way to write him anyway.
>>212907365
>assess is it would be a security threat the same way they do with Romulans. They wouldn't debate if it deserves any rights or not.
Not sure you can do one without the other.

>more xenogorn
Absolutely bleak. What the fuck went wrong with Strange New Worlds?

z>>212907444
I'm the most upset about what they did to Ortegas. She's a complete nothing-character. God damn them for killing off Hemmer.

>>212907535
Ortegas was a flatline for me for two seasons, and then she finally had a character moment when she left the stupid dance party, and I went, "oh, she's a person." So I think they did it right. Even if they are just rehashing La'an's arc of being traumatized by Gorn. Even when nuTrek shows a glimmer of competence you stop and realize they just keep doing the same thing again and again.

>>212907396
I’ll never forgive them for not using Locarno in Voyager. Whatever the story is, it would’ve automatically just made the Tom Paris character that much more fleshed out. He probably would’ve ended up exactly like how Tom Paris is written because VOY, but whenever I watch The First Duty I cringe at the missed opportunity.

>>212907444
Not enough Vulqan hijinks.

>>212907712
>Even when nuTrek shows a glimmer of competence you stop and realize they just keep doing the same thing again and again.
Not to mention the rehash of Tapestry, but with Rhys Darby wearing an actual tapestry. He does make a great Trelane doe and because of the nonlinear nature of Q it could have been the same baby Q from VOY.

>>212907745
I just kind of consider them the same in my own headcanon. It's easy enough to sort of meld them despite the differences. Like you say, the VOY writing would've watered him down regardless.

also for the record I like Measure of a Man, just wanted to play Devil's Advocate for discussion's sake

>>212905909
Half a life is peak tng Mr woof

Measure of a man, second best episode is a better question
>>212906851
I'd agree

Best DS9 episode? And you can't pick In the Pale Moonlight

>>212908025
If measure of a man is your first, q who should definitely be second

>>212906802
A MATTER OF HONOR

>>212908078
Trials and Tribble-ations. I’ve posted this before, but when I was a kid my mom’s boyfriend showed me the original series tribble episode, the animated series tribble episode and the ds9 episode all in one sitting. I had never seen Star Trek before and it hooked me. So I will always hold those in high regard.

>>212908232
I second this.

>>212907040
Maddox doesn't respect data as sentient while you the viewer do. That's why he's cartoonishly evil. That makes it more satisfying when he loses and changes his mind to become pen pals with Data. It's the perfect episode

>>212908078
In the pale moonlight. I do what i want

The Visitor

>>212907233

>Well, no, but wouldn't they discuss his sentience and his rights as an individual on his actual entrance to Starfleet Academy?
No they could have just assumed he was another niche and new race in starfleet like a thousand others
>It's meant to be really hard to get into the Academy. You're scrutinized in a ton of different ways, not just academically but also psychologically.
Yeah he's a robot. He uses his robot brain and excelled at their tests. Makes perfect sense.
>It just seems impossible that it never came up before this.
You're watching it come up for the first time in a way that would challenge his autonomy. It's because data is stellar that it comes up, if he was shit no one would care. And they set it up well that they get the orders on an undermaned station with no official jag.
>Data was a Lieutenant Commander at this time, wasn't he? Or a Lieutenant at least, the same rank as Tuvok.
Why would it come up, no one had challenged it because data is a stellar starfleet officer when he isn't hacked
>26 years as an officer, serving on god knows how many assignments with who knows how many COs and JAGs around and nobody ever broached it?
I don't think you understand starfleet.

>>212908096
Without a doubt. Q who is top tier TNG, watched it a thousand times on vhs. But measure or a man is top tier trek ... shit they both are. Nvm I just like MOAM better lol

Locarno and Paris are completely different. Locarno is an arrogant hardass pos chasing rank glory like a red squad twerp, Paris is a slight goof off wisecracker who couldn’t care less about rank so long as he gets to fly ships and have fun.

>>212908078
Little Green Men

>>212908938
Locarno easily could’ve become what Tom Paris is in voyager after being expelled from the academy and becoming a jaded maquis. Loss of ambition. It wouldn’t haven’t been a stretch to make that character fit into voyager, and like was said above he probably would’ve just ended up being written exactly like tom Paris was anyway.

>>212907396
>it's that Locarno had that ineffable quality of leadership, like the Kirk gigachad gene or something, that just makes guys want to follow them through pure charisma and force of personality.
Funny you bring up his charisma since in Lower Decks he uses that to get the crews of multiple ships of different races to mutiny and join a fleet he formed.

>>212909262
Yeah no way in hell. They have completely different personalities.

I love in Star Trek when everything is connected and makes the universe feel smaller
Trelane is a Q
Every machine race is related to the Borg
Soongs always pop up throughout history and they're all played by Brent Spiner
Nick Locarno and Tom Paris are the same guy

>>212909636
you mean in not Star Trek

The tng crew really should have kept track of Kevin. Could have blinked out the Breen the borg and the dominion in a half hour.

>>212909636
Federation made AIs will always go rogue.

>>212909786
The niggas from Errand of Mercy said they'd fry all the Federation and Klingon ships if they ever went to war again.

I never understood the V'ger = Borg theory.
V'ger wants to learn everything about the universe. The Borg assimilate to achieve perfection.
V'ger did not consider carbon based lifeforms to be true. The Borg are half-organic, half-machine.
V'ger was said to have crash landed on a planet populated entirely by machines. Again the Borg aren't completely mechanical and they had a humanoid ancestor.
I think some fans just go "oh, V'ger sometimes absorbs things to record them in its data banks, and the Borg assimilate technology, so they're the same!"

I'M CAPTAIN KIIIIIIRK

i showed a boomer friend prelude to axanar then had to spend 3 hours talking about trek when i didnt want to. yeah its great all these actors showed for a fan film, but i don't want to talk about it for 3 hours! i was so glad when it was over

Get back here and post.

>>212904126
he excelled at every duty he was given.

>>212907040
What was Data doing for 26 years? He never mentions any other ships he served on.

>>212913837
>He totally forgot about the USS Trieste

People say there's nothing left to explore in the base Trek galaxy but that's not true.

We've seen almost nothing of the Gamma Quadrant. We've seen the Dominion but almost none of the worlds they conquered. They could easily do a Dominion civil war story, or that the aftermath of the war with the Alpha Quadrant severely diminished their power.
A show focused on exploring the Gamma Quadrant would also be a great chance to use beloved DS9 characters for cameos. Seems like a lot good be done there.

Let us all move to your planet.

Or else.

>>212914648
Or the ending of LD saw the creation of a permanently open quantum rift They also made Discovery a non canon alternate timeline in the process too. so we can have a DS9 2.0, only instead of a wormhole to another quadrant, it's a gateway to different realities. Actual Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

>>212913526
Suuuuluuuu he star of a shooow, other guuuys just along for the ride

>>212914862
Yeah but nobody gives a fuck about that gay cartoon shit though

>>212914648
I mean even the delta quadrant is still largely untapped. It’d be interesting to see a post VOY series about long range starfleet explorers/federation colonists. With more advanced tech you could make that 70,000 light-years from earth less of a “trapped” and more of an extended expedition.

>>212915418
They made a truly gigantic, unavoidable sized portion of Delta Quadrant space belong to the Borg, so the show kind of has to end up being all about them for better or worse.

At least a Dominion civil war storyline has some legs. Having to recast Odo would really suck though.

>>212915264
You clearly do since you responded. And you can't get more final frontier than other realities.

>>212915451
I agree that the gamma quadrant would probably be the way to go, but I don’t think the delta quadrant has to be written off completely. I know it’s been a long time since Star Trek has had talented writers, but surely something could be done about the borg. They couldn’t possibly hold all that space forever.

Which captain wins a eating contest?

>>212916284
if riker were competing.... but sisko is from a restauranteur family, hmm. i bet captain sulu has secret japanese eating technique. idk how the fuck they do that shit.

>>212916312
No respect for girdlebusting Kirk?

>>212916284
That's a no-brainer.

>>212916284
Kirk wins in an eating contest. Easy. Picard probably wouldn't want to join in the first place, Archer would tell everyone he’s full half way through and respectfully bow out, Janeway would try and keep up with sisko and Kirk, but in the end she just wouldn’t have the stomach to compete with the boys and sisko would ultimately come in second because he just doesn't have the sheer will to stuff and keep it down like Kirk does(although sisko would have a lot fun doing it)

>>212916391
>>212916392
He can chew the scenery but he cannot eat with the big boys.

>>212916473
A fine analysis anon

>>212904142
>women...le age?!

"Ship in a Bottle" is my favorite episode.

>>212916473
perfect

>>212906802
matter of honor

>>212916284
I'd say Kirk, but it'd be close between him and Sisko.

Janeway comes last. Years of living on basically coffee alone have ruined her appetite.
Archer comes fourth. He cracks under the pressure of an eating contest like he cracks under any challenge.
Picard comes third. The man has no experience in either eating fast or eating large, and he's kinda grossed out by it.

Kirk and Sisko both have experience eating real food and real meat, and both enjoy the experience of eating.
What I'd say that gives Kirk the edge, is that he knew hunger as a child.
Hunger will teach you to pack away food more than tasting delicious food does.

Now what happens when Kirk faces the last eating contest's champion, Miles O'Brien?

>>212920246
O'Brien has also been ruined by being on a virtual starvation diet of bamboo shoots and weak broth thanks to his cruel and abusive overlord, he can pack away a hearty breakfast because thats the only decent meal he gets all day, Kirk takes it again.

>>212915451
>>212915809
The Borg have a huge territory, but they're not exactly a regular galactic empire.
With the Borg ignoring anyone they consider not developed or interesting enough, there could be thousands of species and hundreds of empires existing inside of Borg space, chugging along at sub-warp speeds.

Or there could be even more advanced species, that have a gimmick against the Borg; like they're all cloaked, or they move their entire civilization in ships that they Borg can't catch, or they have some kind of perception filter, or whatever.

>>212916284
You guys are sleeping on archer.

My sides.

>>212920776
We've seen him eat.
I'm pretty sure Trip beats Archer in an eating contest.

season 2 of voy has some wacky shit, the emt had an "its all a dream featuring barclay" ep, kes goes through puberty ep, yes shes 2 years old and tom and neelix are pedos, and now kim is stuck in an alternate reality and this joker who we've never seen before and will never see again is from some race of time and space hopping aliens, I guess their Q, oh and nog showed up

>>212921661
trailer park nog yeah, s2 is a wild fucking ride. gets pretty okay past threshold though. maybe it is the real tipping point.

>>212914761
yet another goes no where red herring that seemed important out of ds9

>>212916284
By rank or role?
If anyone temporarily in charge of the ship counts, it's this douchebag.

>>212921705
just looking through whats coming up, i've got dreadnought, alliances and janeway does the right thing for once and mercy kills the abomination known as tuvix, but their is also threshold, everyone sees ghosts and american indians worshiped white people (thanks jamake highwater), what a nutty season

>>212921612
Yeah but trip is panhandle trash.

>>212917823
S2 truther, nice

>>212920329
And to think we keep sending signals out into space, hoping to be noticed, not realizing it could be the Borg listening, not considering us interesting enough to assimilate... yet.

Good morning /trek/. Odo was in my dream

>>212917823
>>212922077
I actually really like the vibe of S1 and S2 TNG.
The lighting setup was also completely different in those seasons contributing to that special feel.

>>212922030
The panhandle is the part of Florida that’s not trashy dumbass, miamiXeverglades. Lots of internationals first time in America is a convention or something in Miami. Atlantas kinda soaked some of that up im sure with dragon con etc. Atlanta is the most diverse place in America by far. People with money are conservative no matter where they came from and they don’t wanna pay for Tyrone’s hot wings or big Debra’s orange Fanta

>>212922923
>The panhandle is the part of Florida that’s not trashy
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
t. native Floridian

>>212923050
Also I forgot (because I was laughing so hard)
>Atlanta is the most diverse place in America by far.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>212922923
Panhandle is ghetto af my dude.

t. been to Ft. Walton Beach many times

>>212923152
I find the Captain's table thing cringe. idk why

>>212922923
It's funny that you believe that.

>>212923257
because he is more important than you and you need to be reminded 3 times a day.

>>212923257
It happens irl. Senior officers always eat together.

>>212923286
He’s probably some dumb redneck from alabama

>>212923363
I'd go as far to say that the panhandle is more subhuman than Alabama

>>212923336
that may be so but i don't like it in the show. they overuse it or something

>>212923498
combined with the regular mess scenes it is a pretty big focus yeah.

>>212923336
They missed an opportunity in enterprise to make it like the ww2 subs. Cramped quarters, people sharing bunks, a captains mess that is tiny

a bad matte painting from the theatrical cut of TMP. Was removed and replaced with a CG shot in the directors cut. You can see the area where the live action footage of that actors walking to Vger is.

Tng is sorta cringe because everyone just eats alone in their room. Going to ten forward to eat is even more cringe because you would only do so because you’re lonely and don’t have any real friends to invite home

>>212923564
i dont know what that is about but extremely kino part of the film

>>212923604
i like when archer eats steak in front of the vulcans

>>212905909
When you become an adult you learn to appreciate Lwaxana Troi's eccentricities

I would get drunk here
Preferably kanar

>>212905909
Her drunk servant is a gigantic kino machine

>>212923564
yeah the bridge dome is all kinds of fucked up

>>212923824
Did they…?

>>212923850
very much improved however the actors still look too tall compared to the ship

>>212923889
i hate the little cgi bridge sequence.

>>212923921
It does look kind of weird on the 2021 blu-ray vs. the 2001 DVD

>>212923856
Thousands of years in the future yes

>>212923921
It was storyboarded that way when they were making TMP in 1979 but they ran out of time to make it.

>>212923889
The back wall of this scene is the height of the saucer rim for reference.

>>212924215
Then they’re actually too small in >>212923889

>>212923824
kanar is nasty

>>212924215
The sets in TMP are so kino, it sucks that Paramount said "fuck you, here's $5 to make the next one" so they couldn't make anything as expansive and cozy as this

>>212924693
well the bridge set was a massive fuckup with like mechanical rear projectors for screens ruining all their audio and stuff. slightly too experimental-practical analog shit at exactly the wrong time.

>>212925255
Yeah idk how I feel about the redo of the Director's edition after watching the DVD version over and over
Some shots look worse

>>212924887
I get that, but the fact that the recreation room, the larger engineering set, and the cargo bay were all scrapped for TWOK because of the smaller budget

Made it to the Hirogen arc. One of my favorites.

This week Star Trek: Strange New Worlds added a new crewmember to the Betterprise. Kelzing The Bartender played by Kira Guloien. She is the first Edosian in a live-action Star Trek series.

>>212926862
They also seemed to add young Nick Cannon as a medical intern, and Ortegas's brother as a love interest for Uhura. But I guess we'll see.

>>212926862
>>212926925
Nobody cares about this zombie show, at all, what are you doing?

>>212927023
Then talk about the Hirogen you nigger faggot.

>>212926925

Chris Myers as Ensign Gamble is also new.

>>212927282
Yeah that's the dude I called young Nick Cannon.

>>212927385
>the screams
Yay, childhood trauma!

>>212926862
Why do STDverse aliens all have this same uncanny look to them? Edosians really shouldn't be that hard to fuck up.

Upcoming, this is another big week for Trek. Thursday is another new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds:

> SNW S03E03 Shuttle to Kenfori - In order to cure Batel, Pike and M'Benga travel to Klingon space, where M'Benga's past resurfaces on a dangerous planet.

>>212904126
The posting makes sense because of the dominion war. Starfleet is losing hundreds if not thousands of ships every month. Starfleet probably had to get a lot less picky about recruits.

Saturday is the big Star Trek panel at SDCC. Often where new announcements are made, that is unlikely give the changes going on at Paramount.

However, we should get a first look at Star Trek: Star Fleet Academy. Characters, sets, costumes and perhaps some BTS.

>>212906802
Second on Q Who. The only downside of an otherwise top tier episode with actually threatening villains for once was the annoying ensign and Geordi obviously trying to get into her pants.

>>212927452
Lot of that in trek

>>212927704
they would never station him that close to his family. clear conflict of interests. it is extremely bad writing

>>212926862
the enterprise doesnt have a bar

>>212928264

The Port Galley set with bar was added to the Enterprise for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S02.

>>212928576
snenterprise

How does The Federation, let alone Starfleet fair against spoiler?

>>212927650
Sounds very lame and gay like most of Strange New Worlds

>>212928739
Beams Godzilla to Romulus or Cardassia Prime to make him their problem until they beam him back to Earth

>>212928576
only more proof its non canon
enterprise doesnt have a bar. doctors served the booze

Earth Year that each species achieved Warp:
>Vulcans/Romulans
3rd Century, before losing it and then regaining it in 1947 (allowing the separate Vulcan/Romulan evolution)
>Klingons
930
>Cardassians
1925
>Humans
2061
>Bajorans
2328 (solar sailing ships excluded)

>>212928593
>snenterprise
Futures past is underrated

>>212922923
>Atlanta is the most diverse place in America by far.
lay off the snakeleaf

>>212926862
Would. Although holy shit the actress without makeup has a schnoz. So only in the makeup

>>212928739
Isn't Biollante a lieutenant JG by now?

>>212928918
What about the Klingons?

Where Silence Has Lease is such a God-tier early TNG episode and it doesn't need shit like crying or gore
Why can't we have Trek like that again?

>>212928739
Send the Borg after Godzilla and hope they kill each other

>>212929539
then you got borgonzola

>>212929570
>then you got borgonzola
that's a cheesy name for a sci-fi munster

>>212929060
Physically, that actress is spot on perfect casting for that species of aliens.

>>212929843
If she's so good playing a character with three arms then I'd like to show her my third leg

>>212929445
Lock transporter on it
Scramble the signal
Scrambled monsters.

By the authority of the FCA I'm shutting this place down.

kek. HDfags are a spiritually raped people. lossless 480p is all you need.

>>212928180
The decision was ultimately The Siskos’. He could have done this for several reasons.

1) he had a soft spot for Nog because he was his sons closest friend and he liked Rom and wanted to personally look out for his kid.

2) he knew Nog was starfleet material but if he got posted to a crew that didn’t know him, and only had Ferengi stereotypes to go on, he might wash out.

3) he wanted quarks nephew close at hand so if quark stepped out of line he could personally snap nogs spine in two with his bare hands

>>212929216
Literally the only reason, at least in the 90s movies, that Godzilla terrorizes humanity is because we keep fucking with him and refuse to leave him the fuck alone

The Klingons would just keep escalating a fight with Godzilla until he exterminates the entire species

i dont understand the problem. this was hilarious

It looks like they are writing nonbinary Ortega out of Strange New Worlds. Who will they cast as Sulu? I really hope they won't make him gay just because Takei is.

>>212931413
>i dont understand the problem. this was hilarious
and that is why you are a sociopath

>>212931995
and another thing. why did guinan never tell her dear old friend picard about the time kirk saved her from the nexus? how could that story never come up?

The new Strange New Worlds better have a bunch of gay shit in it. Love me some gay shit.

>>212932370
fag

>>212928739
The Japanese were able to defeat Godzilla in the first movie.

>>212930714
how's the view?

>>212932838
>he doesn't know how to hide post stubs
ngmi

>>212932957
i don't bother to auto-hide posts, or even hide them by hand

>>212933088
you write two words in your UBlock filter and never see them again, it's really not much of a hassle

>>212931413
Problem was it should have been troi

>>212914862
And thanks to Picard, all those realities will become borg. Or destroyed by AI tentacles from s1.

Star trek; Deep Space

So Trelane are confirmed Q
a bit cheap imho

>>212933422
Deep Space 10: A Star Trek Story.

>>212931420
JJSulu was made gay already, but Takei was actually unhappy about that saying it was
>a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought
so they may avoid giving him any romance
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/george-takei-reacts-gay-sulu-909154/

>>212933739
Oh, I completely forgot about JJTrek. Thanks anon

>>212932321
Or about her people and what made them flee to Federation space immediately before she needed saving from the Nexus

>>212933412
No i just got off my 3 day for posting ponies in a horse girl game thread on /v/. This is on topic cause its Q and nutrek sucks shit.

Somehow Data has gone rogue...
...again

>>212933739
I knew he was against it but what I didn't know was that he basically begged them several times not to do it beforehand and they did it anyway

What would happen if I used the deflector dish to invert the polarity of Data's positronic matrix (as a prank)?

>>212934163
It would become an electronic matrix.

>>212934355
Would it be funny?

>>212932321
>why did guinan never tell her dear old friend picard about the time kirk saved her from the nexus? how could that story never come up?
time lords can't change fixed points in history

>>212933422
Star trek discovery space 9

>>212933477
Still sad we never got to see Kevin take on q

>>212933422
There gonna be desperate so they're gonna call it
>star trek the next generation; deep space nine
At it will have worf

>>212934940
Every alien with a pulse wants to bang and human. Basically the universe is filled with reverse rikers

>>212934940
Could an entity like Nagilum harm a Q?

I duck out for few hours to play that resurgence game come back and...wtf just happened? anyway I'm onto the next exciting adventure of Insaneway and her crew I believe this is the ep they encounter the other caretaker. The recap of the entire season and a 1/2 preceding this ep is hilarious, god let season 2 end soon

>>212935008
Idk but in a triple threat between nagilum, Kevin Uxbridge and Q I'm betting on Kevin and rooting for q

>>212935169
you're forgetting Gary

>>212935184
Fuck Gary, fucker creeps me out.

>>212935249
it was his first day give him a break

>>212935249
I loved how bad Spock wanted to just fucking kill this guy. He had the right idea.
>Captain we beamed down those phaser rifles you asked for.
>Wtf I didn't ask for any rifles
>Enter Spock with a huge gun

BOOOOOORIIINNNG

>>212935391
>He's my best freind not yours, shoot him again captain its only logical

>>212935474
it was weird how Kirk was somehow his teacher yet they look the same age

>>212933126
i've never felt the need to have filtering software. you need to stop projecting your cowardice on others

>>212935584
he's teaching spock to not be a sperg and try and interact with people

>>212935654
no i meant Gary

>>212935665
he's teaching gary to not be a sperg and...well I guess that failed

>>212934163
you'd be mining dilithium on a desolate, remote asteroid until the end of your days

>>212935435
Worst Trek movie ever made. Even Nemesis is slightly better. It's not even a good 2-parter.

>>212933826
i dont like hayes

>>212935726
*trek movie as in traditional Star Trek. Not that JarJar Abrams garbage

>>212935435
then u must not be a real trek fan. let the seething begin!

>>212935726
>even nemesis is better
hahahhhahaha...inhales...ahahahahhaah, wait soryy i'm don....nope ahhahahahahahahahahhaha
fucking idiot

>Piloting the enterprise with a flightstick
Nevermind this is kino, we are so back

lmao I don't remember this ep in the slightest but its off to a good start

>>212935936
he's really not

>>212935970
couldn't decide which one to post so its both

>>212935978
malcolm doesnt like him, either.

>>212936040
yeah he does

>>212935855
There are buttons for speed, he's fine

>>212935726
>Even Nemesis is slightly better

>>212936157
>Insulting a movie made by Jonathan Frakes with a meme of…Jonathan Frakes

>>212936345
He made the whole thing up

>>212936059
no he doesn't

>>212936669
yes he does. he got over himself and realized Hayes is a good dude just doing his job

>>212928994
Did the Klingons reverse engineer warp drive from the Hurq?

Strange New Worlds S3 is stinky so far. They made the Gorn too Mary Sue as well desu.
Trying to watch discovery for some reason, the Klingons look retarded. Fell asleep. Asian woman and some black woman in a desert. Sad...

>>212927650
Great! More trauma and tragic backstory!

Man... Everyone in STD is skinny.

It's why I was disappointed in Prodigy at first, having the show start in the Delta Quadrant only to leave it like 5 episodes in was such a waste

>>212936830
no he didn't
souce: i am a real trekker & you're just a nutrek tranny

>>212925375
It's very hit or miss. The flyby shot of San Fran into Starfleet headquarters is fine but the scene on Vulcan deadass looks like a Quake 2 mod
