do you guys wanna see my essay about why "The Aenar" is terrible?

>>213446621
Yes

>>213446621
Ok

I made a write-up about this since I have nothing better to do and the thread's dead.
Most things in Trek even if I think it's stupid or don't like or agree with it, I can at least understand the idea or intention behind it. But The Aenar is terrible and I just can't understand. WHY are Aenar? Why are they blind? Why are they telepathic? Why are they a supposedly mythical race? Why are they pacifists? Why are they white? WHY WHY WHY I don't get it so let's examine.
>Why are they telepathic?
Ok well I guess this is because the Romulans "needed" a telepath to be their drone pilot. What, are there no telepathic science experiments from races they have easy access to? Which brings me to the next thing
>Why are they a "myth"?
So if the Romulans were going to use telepaths for their program how did they get this specific guy when even Andorians wouldn't all agree that Aenar are even real in the first place? It's like if the Chinese came over to North America to hunt bigfoot for use in their black ops military experiments. Shran says he doesn't know anyone that has ever seen one. So why make that be part of their lore if it makes their inclusion in this plot even more nonsensical and stupid? They could have just been like, a known group of people? What does this add? Especially because even though they're supposedly so elusive and secretive when they go looking for them they find them IMMEDIATELY. They're fucking clomping around getting impaled on icicles like morons and one just shows up. They don't even act elusive. They're just like "oh you guys were looking for us? here I am" OR maybe the point is that Jhamel is some kind of special snowflake Aenar who actually wants to see the world so she's friendly? Also I find it hard to believe they only took ONE of them and didn't abduct a whole batch. The ship was a prototype after all there were bound to be mistakes and deaths and then you're SOL with no pilot when the ONLY one you snatched dies. Stupid.

>>213446659
That female Aenar was kind of a cute though.

>>213446659
>Why are they pacifists?
I guess this is to add a hamfisted conflict to the plot as for the excuse why they won't help save one of their own even though the mission is to destroy a fucking drone ship and destruction of property isn't violence which Archer should have fucking explained to these stupid ayys but that's besides the point. An entire subspecies just having the same ideology is cartoonish and I really see no reason why they wouldn't just be normal Andorian citizens. Is pacifism some sort of genetic condition? I know Andorians are known as violent freaks but surely every single person isn't like that. I mean Shran was an advocate for peace and he's THE Andorian character of this show so pacifism shouldn't be so taboo that these people have to live inside of a fucking glacier wasteland with nothing but worms and by the way what's with that? I hate how Andoria is shown in this show. The whole planet is just ice? That's retarded. Do they just eat those worms? Do they eat ice?
>Why are they blind? Why are they white?
Another thing that makes no sense. There isn't a single point or payoff to this detail and they even lampshade it sort of because the only time it's brought up is when Jhamel says "I've never met a blue skin before" and Shran is like "Tf you mean? You're blind." That aside how do you even know what the fuck "blue" is? Her excuse is some bullshit "Tee hee telepathy is just weird like that" HUH? Just make them not be blind??? Why did you put that?

>>213446685
At first I thought that maybe this whole part of the arc was some kind of reference to some other Trek thing because the rest of it had been so far but aside from the burrowing worms that reminded me of Devil in the Dark I really can't think of how this is similar to anything. They didn't need this plot about Jhamel trying to save Gareb or whatever. They didn't need the pilot to be some new race they just made up. It could have been a Vulcan. It should have been a Vulcan. Rommies torturing and killing a Vulcan would have hit way different, especially given the previous arc reveal. It could have been T'Pol that saves the day instead of her trying it once and giving up. She's the character they love to make suffer anyway. Also it was silly how they just magically slapped together their own drone pilot setup but whatever. So yeah. What were they thinking?

>>213446681
she was and her being cute and Shran loving her was literally the only good thing about this whole stupid fucking arc

>>213446621
That's not an andorian

>>213446796
we know.

>>213446354
I think the ENT-D and DS9 have dedicated tabletop tournements. But in a Star Trek twist, everyone smells nice and showers regularly

THE GREAT /trek/ DS9 WATCHTHROUGH CONTINUES TONIGHT with Past Prologue

Kino enjoyers, t-minus 2 and a half bongs to lift off.

>>213446659
>Why are they blind?
>Why are they white?
I think they were going for something like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_salamander
>Why are they telepathic?
>"The olm's eyes are undeveloped, leaving it blind, while its other senses, particularly those of smell and hearing, are acutely developed."
>Why are they pacifists?
To be a narrative foil to the militaristic Andorians? It's simply their culture? Use your imagination
>Why are they a supposedly mythical race?
Because they seem to have a small population/they haven't been mentioned before

>>213446939
Why is this the first time I'm hearing of this? I just finished DS9

>>213446979
It's been going for the past two days. We're following that H&I channel because they just started S1 of DS9. We did the two parts of the pilot and now we're on episode 2, comes on tonight at 10pm EST

Join us or you have NO honor.

Doesn't make sense because they establish that the normal blue ones live in basically the same conditions.

thanks for giving voice to the acutal fucking hack retards that wrote this shit
>uhhh, idfk just use your imagination?
*bong sounds*

exactly

>>213447036
>apparently not
apparently yes, Jhamel and Shran literally bond over it. how he's been to alien worlds and extreme conditions where it goes above freezing. they are literally no different from blues except for
>they're white
>they're telepathic
>they're blind
>they can bamboozle people into not detecting them but only when they feel like it apparently

>>213447034
Past Prologue was a pretty good “crewmate must choose between personal and professional interests” episode. But Garak steals every scene he’s in.

>>213447063
If you need a bong to use your imagination, I pity you
>>213447127
Anon, you do know that not every culture where it's cold is exactly the same, right?

>If you need a bong to use your imagination
you're talking about the writers

>>213447466
I like that he joins the Maquis just to be an edgelord. Best Riker

Why does TOS when broadcast on TV look so different than when it's on a streaming service?

It looks like it's 60 fps or something

Riker is overrated, he only ever made Captain

pic related is what peak starfleet looks like

>>213446659
>It's like if the Chinese came over to North America to hunt bigfoot for use in their black ops military experiments.
What do you think those balloons over USA airspace were for, anon?

>>213448814
as the person that came up with it, the problem with that hypothetical is that Romulans are not actually as retarded as the Chinese. the bottom line is that
>we'll poach literally one singular member of a telepathic mythical race we no less than nothing about to use in our black ops military experiments

is to fucking retarded for any trekkie to entertain at face value

>>213448804
Not canon amigo

>>213448891
On par with MKULTRA and The Men Who Stare At Goats, tbqdesu

>>213449017
I'm sorry but no there is just no way it makes any sense. Vulcans are also telepathic it and Romulans have basically unlimited access to them (spoilers) so there is no reason for them to ever seek out some mythical race of aliens who SUPPOSEDLY have telepathic abilities (based on myth and rumor)

The Aenar is quite possibly the absolute most retarded episode of star trek ever if you take even a split second to actually think about anything that happens in it

>>213449013

Based DS9 watchers, where we at? 40 minutes to show time.

>>213450119
i'm right here. watching this TNG episode.
i love weyoung btw.

>>213448757
That's called interlaced video. It's how CRTs worked.

Hello? Is anyone out there? Data? Anyone?

>>213446906
It's DS9 so Gene's vision of daily showers has faded. Everyone is musty in their warm ass grey fleece and Miles smells like alcohol.

>>213450172
Interesting. When did it stop happening? It seems to mainly be shows from the 60s/70s that have that look from what I've seen. TNG doesn't, for example.

>>213449718
Heavenly Marina saggers.

>>213448431
no anon I'm talking about you

>>213450221
data knew it was wrong and did it anyway. d

i spelled weyoun wrong before but in my defense I have had a little bit of a drink

>>213450355
no you're not because i would have written this episode so much fucking better while being totally sober. coming up with some sub-race of Andorian was totally unnecessary and they soiled a race that was already awesome and strong thanks to the amazing actor(s) who portrayed them in TOS.

>>213449326
vulcans and romulans are the same species though, if they wanted a weak telepath (see: vulcans and romulans) they'd just use a romulan. presumably, they needed a stronger telepath, and I guess the only ones they knew of at the time were aenars. I imagine if they knew betazed existed they'd go grab a random troi and stick her in the chair

>>213450270
It stopped happening when TVs became predominantly non-CRT, e.g. LCD, and when shows were no longer shot on videotape (which is also interlaced). You can look up the history of interlaced video yourself.

>>213448804
Ick

>>213450437
The other guy is right, it’s a huge asspull on the part of the writers. It could’ve just as easily been a Vulcan mutant with extra telesauce or whatever, but then there’s be no reason for the Andorians to be involved. No Andorians, no Shran, and for that reason I’m ok with it as it is, dumb as it is. Not thrilled, but ok

>>213450643
you knows its over when even the borg won't assimilate you

>>213450680
Without asspulls there'd be no stories at a certain point
>oh these vulcans just HAPPENED to be flying through OUR solar system on the EXACT day this dude decided to go to warp for the FIRST TIME

>>213450574
I looked it up and you weren't 100% correct, really. Or well, you were only partially right.

turns out Star Trek was one of the few 60s shows actually shot like a motion picture on quality film and when other shows had the interlaced look, Trek noticably didn't back in the day.
But conforming to later "NTSC broadcast standards," they used something called "3:2 pulldown" to give it that interlaced look.

That's why it looks different on Paramount+ or Blu Ray than it does on H&I which was my original question.

>>213450735
Of course, it’s nature of the thing. I hadn’t really thought about it until it was discussed here but it really does add some stupid shit to the cannon, assuming Ent counts. Silly blind Andorian telepaths seems like a pretty good reason why it shouldn’t. On the other side of the argument: Shran. We got what we got

>>213450860
Eh, different strokes. We basically had nothing to go off of for andorians except for like what, that one episode in TOS, so I'm perfectly fine for ENT featuring them more prominently and building off of them, even if it means we get aenar bigfoots. I bet Shran's wife gives him FOOTJOBS.

did ro laren get the spacebucc or something why is her brow more normal in picard

>>213450860
You can't excuse the shitting upon of an entire cool Star Trek race because you like Jeffrey Combs. I love Shran and I hate what Enteprise did with Andorians and cemented into Trek lore.

>>213450927
Sex with blue women. I bet it’s chilly down there

>>213450961
Because the actress said she didn't want the hassle and nobody on the set of Picard cares about consistency

Same reason Worf suddenly had a smoth head like a hershey's kiss and none of the gritty turtle shell texture he used to have around his ridges.

>>213450158
I thought he was wearing a hat like this in the thumbnail wouldn't that be funny haha

you're so right. Weyoun should wear hats. cute!!!

DS9 STARTING!!!!

Based Gayrak

THEY TALKED TO EACH OTHER THAT MEANS THEY WANT TO FUCK! GAY!

It's impressive how the dykecut brings Kira from a 10/10 to an absolute zero, why did they do that to her

Yeah, the whole gay thing doesn't register for me.

It just looks like Garak is being the creepy guy suspected of being a spy and Bashir being such a greenhorn that he is very interested in the intrigue but is just a clumsy mess and ill-equipped to deal with it.
Predator and prey, not a sexual thing though.

>>213451314

Hell yeah brother

I'm on Kira's side. Even when she's wrong. cuz I love Kira. simple as.

>>213451362
>MAY I PLEASE HAVE A KA-NAR
>KANAR!

She's a lot more of a bitch in these episodes, she hasn't nailed down the snark yet. She just yells a lot.

>>213451514
It makes sense. She's surrounded by strange alien FUCKS she doesn't know or trust. She chills out once she gets to know them

JUST SO YOU KNOW COMMANDER I LOVE KILLING CARDIES DONE IT MANY TIMES BEFORE COULD DO IT IN MY SLEEP DEATH TO SPOONHEADS Ok let me get back to the circuitry or whatever

Am I imagining things, or was the visual quality better in pilot? Was it shot on film vs. videotape or something?

Fuck you, Commander Sisko.

>>213451607
The visual quality definitely drops.
I'm not watching with you guys but one time I accidentally dropped a ton of acid and watched the first episode. It was a life changing experience. After that the second episode came on and I couldn't stop laughing about how bad it looked, the juxtaposition of that life changing episode with the cheap sets and shitty video quality in the next one was too much. I'll never forget it.

see how smart and pragmatic Kira is even though she's feisty and emotional compared to the average Bajoran random fuck you encounter on this show? it makes you think Dukat had a point.

>>213451575
Was spoonhead ever actually uttered in-universe, or was it purely a BtS thing?
>>213451607
I think that may be the case? I know TNG was shot entirely on film so it made remastering it much easier, and that remastering DS9 was off the table because they did *something* different, and that might be it.

>>213451809
>Was spoonhead ever actually uttered in-universe
yes. they even say it in front of Garak and he gets flustered.

>>213451809
>>213451827
Spoonhead is so good. I love fictional slurs that have the same bite as real ones.

This Bajoran guy is kind of a fucking idiot, isn't he?
>Bajor must be independent!
>sure we have no resources
>and no means to defend ourselves
>and there's nothing stopping the Cardassians from turning our entire planet to slag from orbit more or less but well fuck the Federation!

>>213451854
Apparently "shifter" is a slur for changelings.

>>213451921
That's their word, you can say "shifta"

disregard anything from nutrek i'm curious, did you guys originally think "pink-skin" was
>a slur that all Andorians use for humans
>a Shran thing that was basically an innocent observation if not a bit derisive way to call humans

>>213451974
Probably the latter that would over time become the former

Do you know the original pitch for DS9 was set to be on a Federation colony instead of a starbase?
do you think that would have worked?

This guy was kind of a dick

>>213451854
I'm pretty sure when Quark calls humans hu-mons, that kinda like calling them niggers.

GARAK IS OBVIOUSLY STRAIGHT AND POLY-AMOROUS BECAUSE HE TALKED TO THE DURAS SISTERS

>>213452094
He's a giant dick but he's moderately handsome so I'm surprised Kira isn't fucking him

>>213451827

nope
I don't think so

>>213452239
>>source: my ass
My source is the show. i'm pretty sure it's the episode where they inexplicably link with Odo and relive that time when Bajorans got executed on Terok Nor

It's funny that so many people interpreted this as the two having some sort of gay thing going on just because Andrew Robinson has an effete manner

>>213452310
Bashir is also the most desperate for pussy man on this whole show. it's pure delusion.

the only reason he has a relationship with Garak at all is because he's naive and stupid and literally none of the other senior staff will give Garak the time of day because they know what he is.

>>213451809
All DS9 and voyager are on film. Just they have more cgi so it would cost more than TNG (which cost $20 million and didn't make a profit).

>>213452391
>TNG (which cost $20 million and didn't make a profit).
That's such a horseshit excuse though because the restoration vastly increased TNG's long-term attractiveness as a commodity for streaming sites.
People will be rewatching TNG for decades and restoring it will continue to yield fruit and line their pockets for a long time.

>>213452239
>>213452264
From "Things Past"
SISKO: We need to get off the station.
BELAR: Why?
GARAK: Does it matter?
BELAR: Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. We're not a commuter service. If you're running from a dispute over chemicals or women or smuggling, you're on your own. If you've killed one of the spoonheads
GARAK: Spoonheads?
SISKO: Garak!

>>213452055
Riker was unhinged towards Lt. Commander Shelby. Him saying that was seriously out of line. He was so comically antagonistic towards her that I assumed the episode would reveal that she was a Borg infiltrator or something, like in the Shut Up Wesley episode where everyone acts like Wesley's crazy but he turns out to be right. But really Riker was just having his bussy blasted at the thought of having to put his big boy pants on and become the captain of a ship.

>>213452551
You're wrong and know nothing of military protocol.

>measuring gold pressed latnium in kg
do they ever do this again?

no more terrorism (unless it's kira or sisko doing it then it's fine)

i like this voy ep

Based Ds9 watchers, Odo kino tomorrow

>>213452575
She was sent there expressly by Starfleet Command with a mission under orders from people immeasurably higher than Riker in the org chart and he was trying to swing his dick. She wouldn't have needed to go around him with her (correct) idea to Picard if he hadn't spent the entire episode before that pissing on everything he did to mark his territory. It was HIS fault that she had no faith in him to tell the captain her plan. The character development test administered to him at the end of the two parter is "will Riker stop being petty and jealous and accept her help" and he does and they win. The writers intentionally made him act like a chud for the purpose of character development but you blindly side with him anyway because he's your space boyfriend.

>>213452437
No, not after the current fanbase of grandpas die off. Which they're doing everyday.

>>213453020
Nice try but you're still wrong. It was Riker's away mission and she was specifically under his command and specifically defied his orders going to the planet on her own early, for example.
>space boyfriend
He's alright but hardly my favorite TNG character. Bit defensive, aren't you.
>chud
lol

Oh, and now he's geezerposting. Here we go.

thanks for watching DS9 with me to all the DS9 watchers. see u tomorrow

>>213453131
Yes. Do understand that it was a frontier war which affected only those living on the border worlds. It wasn't an existential crisis like the Dominion War would be.

>>213453165

Starfleet is not a military, it’s an exploratory and defence organisation

>>213453340
>>213453149
What do you think "Starfleet regulations" and "Starfleet protocols" are? Why do you think Starfleet personnel are called "officers" and refer to things like "the chain of command?"

>>213454196
you are a mental invalid and your retardation is the reason why the US government was able to change the title from "Secretary of War" to "Secretary of Defense" in the 40s, still do the exact same evil shit, but have mouthbreathing wastes of life like yourself suddenly cheer them on.

>>213454333
No, retard, you can take utopian post-scarcity societies at face value when they give value judgements and declare their intentions. Your attempts to subvert that with this jaded cynic nonsense is VERY jewish

>>213453240
At best, Starfleet is a bunch of connected, aristocratic bullies that have granted themselves permission to have weapons that no one else is allowed to possess, then to use those weapons to enforce Federation authority in any way they deem fit.

>>213453340
And the Soviet-era newspaper "Pravda" told the truth because it was literally in the title, the U.S. Department Of Defense doesn't do offense, and George Orwell's Newspeak isn't reflected at all in the real world. Grow up.

>>213449326
>Vulcans are also telepathic

>>213450680

>>213454518
Firstly, I suspected you were the nutrekfag and I’m glad to see I’m correct. Secondly, again, utopian, post-scarcity societies are not afflicted with the same vices as we are today. You can take them at face value. So, yeah, Starfleet is an exploratory and defence organisation, it is not some form of Orwellian doublespeak.

>>213454455
>dey nod a millidurry despite lookin like one, actin like one, functionin as one, coz dey sed dey wuz da good guise o sum shiet nigga
Go die for Israel, retard. Or better yet, actually watch the show you're talking about. Starfleet literally has a fucking top secret black ops glownigger gestapo unit.

ENT does sets and costumes and alien make-up super well

all except for the Enterprise sets themselves which look like shit, such a bland boring submarine design compared to the sleek 60s cool of TOS
they should've gone full captain proton and gone with a full 50s retro future aesthetic or something

>I accept your concession, you beaten-down, Trek-unknowing bitch.

There were a few freighter references in there too, which I always found topical given that one of the main characters grew up on one. A freighter that is

It’s true. His whole childhood, but you’d never guess it. His mom told him he should talk about it more, growing up on a freighter, but he’s shy about it, doesn’t want to be seen as boastful. Humble our man Travis. Freighter

It's an over the air channel that is free for everyone to watch. I watch it through a cable subscription, not sure how other people do.

I still can't believe this is real

>213455624
it's not even aired yet

>>213455710
I might look up the daily schedule and sort of..amalgamate those episodes from streaming..although something feels sort of soulless about that. But watching ads are also soulless..maybe it's about the overall experience. I'll start tomorrow since I missed the boat tonight.

>>213456072
must be streaming somewhere, IDK

>>213456079
It's more interesting for me to watch with commercials, to see the impact of the stingers on breaks. I've never watched DS9 with them before, so it's a unique experience so far.

I kneel for anyone who does the complete OTA DS9 watch through.

>>213456192
Been in a loop for many years.

>>213456192
It's going to be a lot of commercials but I'm excited

Oh great, now the Enterprise is haunted!

>>213456159
It's up on paramount+ australia.

>>213446261 (OP)
Do it! Do it you fucking pussy bring me the phaser and ill fucking do it for you

>>213458788
Is this another hallucination or laien takeover plot?

>>213446609
Incomplete
>>213446611
Nice i member
>>213458648
Dumb

>>213458865
they actually explore a Strange New World for once

>>213458865
They visited an alien world an accidentally freed an ancient evil

>>213458788
He found Tariq's original buck breaking sketches.

>>213455224
Now I am become freight, conveyor of cargos

Strange New Worlds really has become the JJ-Trek 09 tv show. All they do is revisit old plots, remake them with flashy vfx and add no new angle to it whatsoever. I wonder if the only story ideas they work with are from one of these Star Trek plot generators. You don't even need AI for that.

TAS is really underrated
That is all

>>213459057
I watched it not long ago. Maybe like a year or so. It is not very good. I remember only one feeling like an actual STAR TREK 'sode. The one were Spock goes back in time and sees his family and pretends to be a cousin.

I'M HERE TO SAY THE WORDDDDDD

>>213459844
It at least isn't dull to watch.

>>213454984
At least VOY and DS9 get to hide their bad CGI behind standard definition. But HD ENT can't

wondering what the average age group is here. I started watching tng in 2021 (highschool) and finished everything except nutrek earlier this year (college).

>>213460850
Yeh. I'm totes young like you. started with DISCO when I was a little kid. Most /trek/ folks are the same.

>>213460850
Pretty much the same age as you, my dad watched TNG with me when I was younger

>>213460943
Please just die.

>>213460985
My dad started me on TNG and we watched most of trek together

>>213461018
I watched TNG in its original run

>>213460943
>STD

>>213460943
Is this how the people in r/trek sound?

>>213461111
Thanks for making me feel old mister quads.

>>213446425
They beat the shit out of the old manually-sealed stem bolts. Those fucking things were a nightmare to get sealed. Fucking 22nd Century shit-arse tech that deserved to become obsolete.

>>213446388
It overlapped with TNG, so no

Found a new trek podcast and I'm now rewatching DS9 in preparation to listening.
Other trek-related stuff you're doing?

>>213461417
It is a lame character drama, so yes

>>213461416
Still had manual shit in the 23rd century. You youngsters don't know how lucky you have it!

>>213458925
Never seen a character in such desperate need of a secret genetic enhancement in my life. Is it even possible to be more boring than Chakotay? At least that fucker doesn't talk about his medicine bundle every episode.

>>213461515
Turn his head upside down and he looks more interesting.

>>213461515
Hey, lay off Travis

>>213461515
What can you do with him? You don't have a holodeck to give him a story. When there's planet-side action you always have Trip and T'pol that take the spotlight. Well, you could make him fly a shuttle though. That could be his story. He flies the shuttle and one time, everyone depends on him because this time, he has to fly the shuttle real good...

>>213461515
>At least that fucker doesn't talk about his medicine bundle every episode
Uhh...

>>213461639
e flies the shutlle down to the planet he's hanging out at the shuttle waiting for archer and t'pol to get back from w/e mission and shenanigans ensue someone tries ot hijack the shuttle or soe kid runs out of the forest asking for protection or idk there are things you can do

>>213446338
>tfw you realise your wife was actually less of an evil cunt when she was possessed by a Pah-Wraith

>>213461651
Folks criticise Chakotay. But, you have to admit. he does have a disproportionally high amount of good Trekpus

>>213461923
I just watched nemisis last night and while all those guys were acting their little hearts out the absolutely ridiculous speech patterns just makes it too goofy, kudos to them for keeping a straight face and delivering the lines seriously and even convincingly but it still sounds so stupid it completely undercuts the serious tone they are going for

>>213461923
Chakotay criticism is out of date anyway. He's one of Trek's genuine redemption stories.

Why did she try to cunnytrap her own husband?

>>213446621
i wanna see your bussy

>>213462041
My brain always erases the knowledge that Tom Hardy played a Trek villain until Nemesis is mentioned

>>213462089
I meant the episode, this one >>213461923

Star Trek?

>>213462041
I like it. Weird and archaic and stilted. Their language. It reminds me of Inglorious Basterds. In the film-within-a-film bit, sniping from eth clock tower. And the 'American' soldier says something like: 'general, I implore you. We must take this tower'. And it's clearly like a script written by an ESL German. That's what Nemesis is. Some weirdly translated old propaganda program.

>>213454673
There are plenty of counterexamples. The way Starfleet was willing to uproot the Native Americans in the "Journey's End" episode was just one of many.

>>213457065
A lot of commercials for hemorrhoid cream, baldness pills, life insurance, and Viagra. Even DS9's advertisers know their target audience is old geezers.

>>213461332
fr fr no cap

>>213457065
I've got the discs now & don't have the discipline but I believe in all of you.

>>213462064
You've never interacted with 12-year-old girls, have you. Either that, or maybe you're really, really unattractive.

>>213462271
I do like the theory its an old program that hasn't been updated I guess, still sounds stupid

>>213462490
In what context would a grown man be interacting with 12 year old girls? I don't have a little sister or female cousins, so I would never be around their friend groups either

>>213462041
>>213462271
It's a classic case of the actors taking the script seriously instead of winking and mugging to the camera. Sincerity is what sells it, it's how old sci-fi can be kino despite an obvious set with a budget of $5, when slop costing 10s or 100s of millions is still utterly shit.

>unambiguously evil trans-dimensional species that can skinwalk as the people they kill, read minds, and want to break into our reality and kill everyone and everything, also displays cognito-hazard properties.
>additionally, there is a prison with thousand of these little fuckers trapped on a random planet somewhere
>never mentioned in any lore or in any of the other series that take place later in the timeline

I'm starting to believe that the writers aren't just stupid, but they also have naked contempt for the Star Trek series as a whole.

cheers lads, DS9 is fun

>>213462537
>

>213462416
mostly shriners, aspca, st. jude, wounded warrior project, and easter seals. You're the nutrek spammer though so I won't give you a (you), much less money.

>>213462674
Bro there's an entire arc in Lower Decks based entirely on making fun of the fact the old shows are full of important events and meetings that were never spoken of again

Does remembering that nobody on DS9 ever mentioned Kevin Uxbridge make you fill your diaper too?

what

>>213463077
Gary "Sue" Seven.

>>213462159
>>213463077
always find it a shame this never got made, I can see it working

>>213462809
>Bro there's an entire arc in Lower Decks based entirely on making fun of the fact the old shows are full of important events and meetings that were never spoken of again

>>213462159
Episode 226, "Assignment: Earth". Teri Garr was a major hottie back in those days.

>>213463278
And I think that's a valid critique. No one ever went back to check whether Landru had taken over again after Kirk left. No one went back to the drug-addicted planet after Picard separated them. And so on.

>>213463348
that's not a critique

>>213463205
As its own thing it was fun to watch and I probably would have watched a series about him. As a Star Trek episode, it was shameless and treated Kirk and Spock terribly.
>>213463150
>immune to the Vulcan nerve pinch
>has a James Bond pen that hypnotizes people and destroys force fields
>"a cat is fine too"
>genetic perfection molded by 6000 years of research
>owns a transporter, replicator, and automatic typewriter
>qt retard, that's secretly high IQ and has a star-shaped birthmark on her ass, assistant
Presumably he had a 12 inch dick too.
>>213463300
In some scenes she was downright adorable, while in others it felt like she hadn't quite gotten the character down yet. I think if Seven had gotten even just a season she would have improved a lot.

>>213463348
Space is big. Not everything needs a follow-up.

>>213462537
I interacted with 12-year-old girls when I was 12. Again, maybe you're just really unattractive.

>>213454985
the whole episode is kino. i've watched it like 20 times. one of my favorite moments is when Gav says
>VULCAN I WOULD SPEAK TO YOU
and Sarek has his back turned to him and kinda smirks and says
>It does seem unavoidable.

He's such a good Vulcan

>>213463505
It does if the Enterprise goes out of their way to intervene in someone other planet's situation. Ornara/Brekka weren't even warp capable, making Picard's intervention even more indefensible. Then he just leaves them be. As their mural shows, that didn't work out so well for them. So yes, follow-ups are necessary.

>>213463505
The flagship of Starfleet isn't supposed to stay put in their ongoing mission. They leave everything for the rest of the fleet to mop up. I don't get why that isn't simple for people to understand?

>>213463348
That's what the LOW 'sode is about. How the flagship Enterprise goes around a makes first contact. And they're the rinky-dink low tier ship that makes like fourth contact. Check ups, sees how the planets doing

>>213463753
Which is why ships like the Cerritos are tasked with such jobs. At least, after Captain Freeman sold Starfleet on the idea.

>>213462674
It was just a badly written, messy and unfocused episode. And the engineer woman is starting to get on my nerves with her hysterics.

I don't think the writers are capable of writing actual science fiction. They just want to do a relationship drama show with pew pew laser fights and random technobabble thrown in.

They're desperate.

>>213462089
Tom Hardy tries to as well

>>213463952
Which is too bad because he gives a good performance against Pstew

>SISKO: Is there anything I can get for you?
>DUKAT: A bottle of kanar and an Orion slave girl would be nice.
>SISKO: I'll see what I can do.
Imagine Sisko comes back with pic related.
Dukat would revert back into crying in the fetal position lmaoooo

Just watched "Juggernaut" from Voyager. That was a pretty kino B'Elanna episode. I liked the shot of her facing the Malon amidst all the gas

>>213463948
Who are you even replying to, grandpa? Shouting at clouds again, or what? Maybe your grandnephew can show you how to reply to posts.

>>213463077
It's called a "girl". Remember how your mom keeps getting on your case about leaving the room in her house where you grew up, going outside, and meeting a nice girl? This is an example of a girl.

>>213462731
Did you follow up on the Life Alert commercial you saw last night on DS9? Or are you happy with your current provider?

>>213463471
Teri Garr was adorable in and out of her clothes... ih, I mean, character. Don't be so hard! On her, I mean.

>>213463767
Are you feeling the icy cold hand of Death on your shoulder, grandpa? You will.

>>213462674
Sounds like Pah-wraiths.

>>213464129
If Sisko had a daughter, do you think he'd be all like this? >>213422665

>>213462674
There are all kinds of non-corporeal beings that can possess people. This isn't anything special.

Lower Decks characters are what happens when you don't beat kids.
That is all.

>>213464779
>Lower dreck posters are what happens when you don't beat kids
Ftfy

>>213464876
STD posters are what happens when you don't abort kids.

VOY posters are what happens when you give kids dumbbells and skateboards and leather jackets.

>>213461849
Keiko did nothing wrong

>>213464549
Are there all kinds of non-corporeal being that can posses people that even the Gorn(the ultimate big bad of SNW) view as a massive threat?

>>213465234
You mean Kosta Mojin did nothing wrong

>>213464474
>>213464345
Are you gonna cry? Maybe poop your diaper a bit?

>>213465267
Keiko wasn't possessed by Pah Wraiths. Pah Wraiths were possessed by Keiko.

>>213465537
Just a reminder that this is just Keiko how she normally is.

>>213463617
>Again, maybe you're just really unattractive.
Holy projection nutrekfag! And stop talking to twelve year old girls!

Live-posting the latest episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds!
The landing party is inside of an ancient temple. There's a race called the M'Kroons. Can't transport inside the temple. Tensions between Spock and Chapel seem to be the central story element. The new medical guy just got blinded by a space ball. Rest in shit haters.

>>213465928
And a crazy laser just killed the native guy and sealed the door shut. Will check in as it goes.

>>213465989
As a bit of backstory the race that built the temple are dead and believed they had unlocked the secret to immortality, which involved keeping the body's molecules in a state of quantum uncertainty or something like that.

>>213466137
The medical guy who got blinded now his brain shows he isn't alive. Connected to the immortality race perhaps.

>>213460327
Needs a Sealab 2021 esque remake tbqh sampai

>>213465188
Based

>>213461639
>just pretend he’s oversized cargo, it’s fine, no pressure, you’ve done this before. Just like on the freighter

>>213466240
Now medical guy and Pikes girlfriend got possessed and got into a fight somehow.

The Gorn are somehow genetically engineered to fight the evil alien ghosts. Calling it.

>>213466379
What about his cutie reporter gf?

>>213466446
Depends if there’s room on the freighter I guess. Priorities

>>213466385
It turns out it's not a space temple it's an immortality space prison. Now we just need to get the landing party out of there and get an exorcist for Gamble.

>>213466437
She did seem to speak their language.

>>213466499
Maybe the NuGorn are possessed and this ties in to make the Gorn calmer.

>>213466471
Now they're going to walk on air because of reverse causality. Science!

>>213466628
Nah I think it was just a lazy excuse for a fight scene. Maybe some of the prisoners are evil Gorn?

>>213466638
Scotty for the win! Recapturing the escaped space ghost inside the damaged prison cell then beaming it to nowhere. Ghost prisons everybody. How fun. Overall I give this episode a 6/10. Kind of derivative of former SNW storylines. Not as good as other episodes this season. But overall not bad either. The time flew by. Thanks for letting me ruin your thread for an hour. Fags.

>>213466748
Oh wow I figured they'd use space science to save Ensign Gamble but nope they killed him off. Nobody's safe. I like the little speech about evil at the end.

>>213466796
This was punishment for the nuTrek haters and the way they just jump down your throat if you even mention it casually. They are deranged. May they rest in shit forever in a space prison. Why did the computer glitch like that at the end? Later fags.

star trek sex with shran

Why does he do this?

>SNW episode 5
FINALLY an actually good fucking Star Trek episode.

unironically couldn't help but think this episode would be directly improved if this exact script had all been acted out by the OG TOS cast

>>213466748
I think it was the strongest ep this season.

>>213466839
>Why did the computer glitch like that at the end?
Because the ghost in the transporter buffer can not only possess people but also the computer.

>>213468095
So it's every ST alien possession cliche rolled into one

>>213468031
easily.
