Is the type of actor with a booming James Earl Jones voice a lost art?

build back bf better (B4)

Hey, I know what will be fun! Let's have a watchthrough of the first episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks"! You can all chime in with your observations in real time! Won't that simply be marvelous???/? So much better than just spamming "hurr durr star trek sex with shran".

>>213511617
it's not spam it's called a ritualpost you faggot. spam is what you do with your troon cartoonshit because no one will talk to you.

This is a cool episode. Lota combat

this episode reminds me of the Enterprise episode with the transporter inventor. same vibes, and not just because the scientists are both black. they're both like blinded by the belief in their "baby" and put everyone at risk

>>213511617
>Let's have a watchthrough of the first episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks"!
It found its stride when T'Lyn joined, start there.

>>213511666
It’s spam today, satan

Oh, look at that nutty Boimler! Hiding in a closet, pretending to record a captain's log! He wants to be a big boy so badly! You man-children can relate, can't you? Think of all the shower arguments you've had! Well, no, you can't—that would imply you shower. But just work with me here, OK? Use your imagination! No, wait, you don't have one of those either. Oh well, moving on.
>>213511666
Right, a ritual, because Star Trek is a quasi-religion. But what kind of religion is it? Your Satanic triplet tells you all you need to know about that.

Botox is ugly. Women nees to stop that shit

>>213511777
Divine numerology

>>213511777
it's a ritual because i am often thinking about sex with shran and i want to express it. it's not a religion. it's just fun

TNG season two is actually insane. It's got some of the best and worst episodes in all of Star Trek. The season starts with alien rape and ends with a clip show. Even as a layman you could tell something was going wrong behind the scenes as the production ran out of money in real time.

So the QRD on this dude
>I hate it when media takes itself seriously! I need parodies! I need RiffTrax! I need Mr. Plinkett! HELP ME MIKE MCMAHAN!!!
>I'm not invested in the shows I watch! This makes me superior to everyone who is!!

>>213511934
it would seem so

Oh look, here comes Mariner! And she's drunk on Romulan ale! OMG, she's such a rebel! Can't you, like, just, totally relate? Like when you want to rebel against your mommy and all her rules, but you can't because you live in the room you grew up in, in her house, and she brings you tendies, and we certainly don't want that gravy train to end, do we?
>>213511777
It's a sign! Lower Decks is blessed, and so is my watchthrough! The Gods of Trek have spoken! This really is a religion, isn't it? I can feel myself speaking in tongues already!
>>213511829
Of course! Wanting to have sex with an imaginary person in a commercial entertainment franchise is perfectly normal and rational! And no matter what anyone tells you, it's not pathetic or degrading in any way!
>>213511839
Wasn't that a video game that came out in 1988? Most of you weren't even born then.

>>213511934
Could you do a Qrd on my wife pls she is supposed to be here trolling me by withholding her fire pussy thx

Lesson of that episode...
>Don't trust a black man's engrams

am I wrong or is Lore lame and gay? I never "bought" him if you know what I mean. is Brent Spiner just bad?

>>213511967
>Wasn't that a video game that came out in 1988?
It was Sega faggotry. I was an NES kid.

>>213511617
How about no?

Uh oh, Mariner made an oopsie! She was playing around with big-boy toys, and cut the shit out of Boimler's leg! It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, right? Then mommy has to put Band-Aids on it, kiss it, and make it all better. Isn't it great how you get to live in mommy's house forever? Not even get a job or anything? And all it costs is your self-respect, but you weren't doing anything with that anyway. Therefore, in summary... ouchie!!!1!
>>213511934
Invested? Really? So it's not just Star Trek that's a religion to you, but all TV you consume? Wow. You and I are very different people. And literally who is impressed by your "investment"? Your cat?
>>213512011
He wasn't even a Starfleet captain, just some computer nerd. Plus, he was Blackula.
>>213512060
But it's on-topic!

>>213512046
I think the problem is we have already seen Data doing emotions and shit. Lore is redundant

>>213512046
Lore was TNG's great Potential Villain. Could Have and Should Have but never Did. And this was entirely because they had to put out 26 episodes a year with his actor already a major player.

>>213512142
>>213512158

i think it's just that, for whatever reason, Data seems like a real character and Lore does not come across as anything other than a guy doing a bit. I don't know why but that's just what it is to me

>>213511934
Could you do a Qrd on my wife pls she is supposed to be here trolling me by withholding her fire pussy and remaining a stranger thx aha hope she like coffee aha you know I was thinking
>gets up from the table and walks across the large packed hall onto the stage and slips the boys a dub for the microphone
Does anybody know what don’t just make the coffee and the creamer taste like dick and pussy? We’re going on all theses dates guys…… right? Right! We’re going on all these dates and you know we’re drinking the coffee and we’re tasting that and that’s VERY real and we are VERY ENGAGED but you know what REALLY gets our best intentions flying at their greatest heights? What men fight wars and move mounts focused on without once blinking in their minds eye or turning away in their hearts? Wondering what that pussy tastes like! Am I right fellas? I mean c’mon. And I drink my coffee black. I’m m a real man I drink my coffe black. I like my coffe like I like my women what can I say? Am I right fellas? And for the ladies and ya know…. The “FELLAS” we can make that creamer taste like dick everybody throw on a few chastity cages and maybe we can finally film a candid episode of friends in this bitch without blowing half our paycheck on some dumb broads cocaine WHOS WITH ME FELLAS?!?

>>213512137
>But it's on-topic!
Indeed. Something ought to be done about that.

>>213512137
I admire your effort pickle-trek boy but it’s a hard sell. I’ll admit to watching a few episodes, I’ll even admit to chuckling a few times, but it’s not trek and it’s not for me. It’s a free board, spam it all you like, but you’re not winning any converts. It’s up to the show to do that, and it don’t. Nagus Neelix has spoken

>>213512182
>Data seems like a real character and Lore does not come across as anything other than a guy doing a bit.
That's because Brent Spiner pitched giving Data an evil twin because he wanted to to more than play a tin can all day for years on end.

>>213512182
That makes sense. He has a connection with Data, but I don't feel that connection

>>213512241
Lol. Silly actor, Data is the best character in the show.

>>213512303
As I wrote that bit I thought of Jeremiah Johnson and Judy’s impending parody. Strong black coffee

Second Contact? Oh, how clever! See, it's the big-name ships, like the Enterprise, that are tasked with making "first contact". But it's little ships like the Cerritos that are tasked with... oh, I'm giggling so much I'm nearly wetting myself... Second Contact! It's like, y'know, when a woman lets you touch her a second time! Oh, you don't know what that's like? OK, let me try to explain. Sometimes, after you touch a woman, she doesn't slap you then file a lawsuit against you. No, believe it or not, sometimes the woman likes it! And after your first contact with her, she's amenable to a second contact! No slapping or lawsuit or anything! So the job of the Cerritos is like touching a woman for the second time, after Kirk and Riker have already had their way with her. No, that's sloppy seconds. Therefore, everything I just told you is wrong, but you wouldn't know that unless I told you, so no harm done. Moving on.
>>213512222
There are literally 99 other threads on /tv/ at any one time. And congratulations on your quads! I don't know why numerology is a thing on 4chan, but just like oldtrek geezers, I like to conform to the exclusion of everything else! It makes me feel special to be just like everyone else!
>>213512240
Not selling anything, friend. Just sharing my interests, in a totally non-ironic and not at all sarcastic way.

Anyone actually try Co-Q 10 from that Tony Hawk commercial?

I like my coffee like I like my women: frigid and bitter

>>213512471

that we are all fucking retarded geriatrics for actually liking star trek and not wanting to fuck cartoonslop

>>213512421
Be more specific in the OP

>>213512400
I meant John Henry. Alright — here’s a vivid, folktale-style telling of John Henry, with that big-breakfast detail you were remembering.

The Ballad of John Henry

A long time ago, when steel rails were stretching across the country and mountains still stood in the way of progress, there was a man named John Henry. Folks say he was born with a hammer in his hand, and by the time he was grown, he was the strongest steel driver anyone had ever seen.

John Henry was a Black man, tall as a pine tree, with muscles that looked like they’d been carved from the very rock he worked in. He laid track for the railroads, swinging his mighty hammer to drive steel spikes into the rails.

One morning, word came down the camp:
A company man had brought a brand-new steam-powered drill. “This here machine,” he bragged, “can do the work of ten men. No need for steel drivers anymore.”

Now, John Henry didn’t like the sound of that one bit. He wasn’t afraid of losing his job for himself — he was thinking about all the other working men who needed that job to feed their families.

And here she is, the star of the show, the new waifu for the generation raised jacking off to anime... that's right... it's Tendi! Doesn't she look perky and supple? It's like she was poured into that uniform! If you have to excuse yourself and go jack off, I understand. You can come back later. But please, this time, wash your hands before you touch your keyboard again. I know it's "your" keyboard, but still, that's gross.
>>213512360
I tried CoQ10. It was OK. If you want a real kick, try mixing ashwagandha, L-theanine, and NMNH. Your brain will love you forever.
>>213512471
I'm just sharing my love for Trek, but without seething, just to show you it's really possible. It makes me sad you can't enjoy Trek as much as I can. Maybe you're not a real fan after all.

>>213512613
Using an LLM to tell the story of John Henry is a level of irony I am not prepared to face today.

>>213512630
>I tried CoQ10. It was OK. If you want a real kick, try mixing ashwagandha, L-theanine, and NMNH. Your brain will love you forever.
Imagine being in the pocket of Big Supplements when you could just have some bee pollen and get the same things.

Somehow you have proven to be more cringe than, Prophets forgive me; the show itself. Please participate in the Days of Atonement forthwith and light 250 candles while performing the sacred Chant of Getting A Grip to restore your pagh. Prophets bless you and may you kill a thousand oppressors.

>>213512613
I don’t recall him being black

>>213512630
I tried that stuff before. I imagine it is like going from coffee to macha tea

>>213512772
Meant to say "heard of" thats stuff before

>>213512400
Fuck ai and Chinese Google the fuckingnretarded thing even said it was going to include the breakfast and did not that the best part he’s like four years old and he tells his mom it’s time to start helping the family work and he can’t be free loading and she’s like WHHATTT and he’s like listen woman imma need some grub fix me up ten flap Jax two dozen strips of bacon eight sausages six biscuits a mess of eggs scramble hash browns four piece a toast leftover chilling gravy over all of that grits and shrimp leftover pork chop on and on get the idea it’s a bit. It’s very very funny. Anyway his heart explodes trying to outpace a machine with a pickaxes for the railway man and everyone presumably starves to death, or adapt. The lesson, his dying words “to change is to live”

he changed shifts and his day off to do too many drugs is now Friday

>>213512645
It’s at least encouraging that it failed miserably hahaha thank goodness

"Banana, hot." "Banana, hot." "Banana, hot." Oh, isn't this simply marvelous? Even in the future, nothing works! Good thing we have competent, qualified service techs like my little purple-haired muffin here! Even when Boimler screws us big-time, I can't stay mad at him. He just looks so cuddly. I hope he finds himself a nice girlfriend! Someone other than that harpy Mariner, though. Please! Not those two together! Oh, what's a shipper to do?
>>213512682
I've tried a lot of supplements. Nothing has worked for me like that trio.

I..I would

>>213513011
>sees this shit
>forces Bones to take the transporter two scenes later

>>213513178
I'm 99% sure that came from the fact that TMP was literally being rewritten as it was being filmed. Lots of scenes don't match up. Sometimes characters change costumes mid-scene due to reshoots.

>The Son's of Soong
That was fucking KINO

Another turn, another shift
One last kiss from her lips
Another dream you're putting down

Never thought you'd feel this low
Another dream put to bed
After all this time, it turns out all you had

Is one more love out to break your heart
Set it up just to watch it fall apart

DS9? Time to take a break and shower for an hour

>black double sweet
I always thought this had to be the absolute worst way to ever drink coffee. I lost respect for O'Brien

Here we go again! Boimler was having a nice conversation with the cute new ensign, but Mariner just has to inject herself where she isn't wanted, and cockblock him. Why, I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be a lesbian! Or maybe even bi. Can you imagine being bi? What a curse it would be, to want to fuck everyone you meet! No, that can't possibly happen. Not in a kids' show.
>>213512898
I'm 100% sober, but that probably scares you even more. Nothing I can do about that! Deal with the authentic me!
>>213513018
I can't see the point of forming a religion around Trek. Your posts, on the other hand... wow. Do you have a holy book or something? I want a copy.
>>213513058
Thanks for the offer, but I'm totally off refined sugar, simple carbs, and seed oils, and fast food have all three in abundance.
>>213513166
You can have my portion.

>>213513438
the replicator coffee probably tastes like shit but you are right

oh my god Quark's bar is unrecognizable

Kek he’s crashing out because he couldn’t steal the OP

What a failure

Colm Meaney is a fucking treasure.

You can see them figuring out both of their characters

ok even Kira with her bull dyke haircut is still so cute and hot and i love her and she's mai waifu

Hennessey and edibles, trekking all night

What did we think of the new SNW episode? I thought it was excessively gory

He literally went zero g at 93

>>213513675
he is apparently writing a new book right now. how do you live this long and stay so alive? amazing. 94 years old

How does Quark even turn a profit selling replicated drinks when you can literally just walk up to any replicator on the station and get whatever you want FOR FREE?

>>213513696
Will it be ghostwritten like his fanfiction?

>>213513696
"Live long and prosper" is actually a form of positive visualisation that works, scientists astounded, tricorders can not explain it!

>>213513724
he does more than sell drinks. also in other episodes it's revealed that he can actually give you non-replicated food and drink.

And here they are, meeting their new friend, Rutherford! He's a quiet nerd that likes to keep to himself. So now we've rounded out the whole team—the shy one, the boisterous one, the hot green one, and the nerdy one. What an incredible dynamic around which to base a TV show! This is definitely destined to be a classic.
>>213513438
I use For Wellness' coffee booster (my source of L-theanine) and coconut cream. None of the nasty seed oils of Coffeemate, and it takes a lot less to achieve the desired creaming effect, so coconut cream (from the can, not the carton) is more efficient than dairy-based half-and-half or whipping cream.
>>213513518
You're not trying to put me down, are you? I thought you were my Trek buddy! And for the record, I feel great. I could do this for hours. I probably will, too. All of it on-topic, and with many anons joining in on the conversation. So much for you to look forward to.
>>213513696

Lol the covid lockdown episode

She gets some different haircuts over the series but poor Dax is stuck with that same horrible one for the whole series minus one or two episodes. She's absolutely stunning in the Bell riots episodes when they give her a different style.

>>213510707 (OP)
speaking of worf
>could there be anything more dishonorable than seeking honor?

can some nerd explain to me the behind the scenes reason why they made Sisko look like some lame boring dad and then finally came to their senses and let him have a beard and shave his head later on? he looks so fucking DUMB right now.

Rom is an idiot

>>213513873
He’s a bit of a conundrum our Worf. A little confused, shall we say

>Odo says Rom is an engineering idiot

Well that makes Odo look really stupid.

>>213513729
Man, I'd love to get in on that scam. I came close once; at the time, my dad's neighbor was a minor celebrity, and she was interested in getting her memoirs written. As part of my sales pitch, I told her "and we can make it self-serving, with many glaring omissions!" She got a kick out of that. But it never went through. If only my dad had been a better lay.
>>213513724
In LD, it's revealed he makes special drinks that are beyond the capability of standard replicators.

Garak would be wasted on this episode

>>213514081
You come from a broken home? Explains a bit.

I’ve always thought this Babel episode was pretty shit but you can really see the actors figuring it out in real time

Do you guys think this episode had any purposeful parallels to Journey to Babel or were they just reusing the name? Journey to Babel is like one of my favorite episodes ever but I feel like this one is a mid episode that sullies the name desu

>>213513917
I am also a little confused. Did Worf ever tell Picard the truth about the colony and the Romulan/Klingon hybrids, or did he baldfaced lie to his commanding officer? That doesn’t seem honorable at all.

>>213514323
Babylon was known as the city of a thousand tongues

>>213514081
Does your dad discuss his sexual encounters with you while you watch Low Decks together?

>>213514373
That is true but you can't deny it has a different and more specific meaning in the context of Star Trek

Wasn't there supposed to be a DS9 watchalong?

>>213514424
Why else do you think everyone is posting about Babel

>>213514424
we're doing it now. the episode is Babel. playing on the Heores and Icons channel for free over the air or included with cable packages. if you are overseas you can watch Babel and just pretend along.

Yeah this episode is so-so but that aphasia virus would be a cool plot for a game. Especially if you get infected at some point and now all your notes and conversations with other characters are complete gibberish.

Its funny that the episodes antagonist is retarded babble and Bashirs now infected because I was in meetings with indians all day.

>>213514186
And you’re literally Chinese beans and toast

Remember when you were little, and your whole family hated you, so on the long car trips, they put you in the back of the station wagon, in the cargo hold that didn't even have seats, and you spent the whole long drive to Grandma's house staring out the back, looking at where you just were? Doesn't this remind you of that? And then you'd get to Grandma's and you had to hug her but she smelled like cigarettes and pee? At least that doesn't happen in the future.
>>213514186
You really are desperate to meme this into existence, aren't you? You still have yet to point out anything actually wrong with me, except for the stuff you make up when projecting your own horrible situation. Every time you seethe, you discredit not only yourself, but all oldtrek geezers. And you'd better hope your parents stay together forever... otherwise you may end up on the street, when neither one chooses to keep supporting your dusty NEET ass.
>>213514393
He doesn't need an excuse to do that. Also, he's not a Trekkie.

Bajorans fucking suck

>>213512158
Brent Spiner was always underutilized. They should've had Gail Chord Schuler writing the show so she could make some truly amazing episodes.

>>213513673
I still haven’t started season 2 which is retarded because I like the first one I just want to watch it all at once when it’s done which is severely terminally autistic like potentially ten year plan and no one diringnairing saw it like that in the day I just binged the others so it makes me have autism when I know it’s just going to end and that autism is good at it’s job

BAJORANS SUCK (except Kira)

Isn't this an impressive holodeck? See, in the future, they've gone way past AI image-generation and video-generation, and can make full-blown 3D environments than one can interact with! And there are no contradictions whatsoever in Trek's depiction of this! Like, in the first episode of TNG, Wesley fell into the water, and was sopping wet even after leaving the holodeck. Later, they claimed that all matter in the holodeck isn't real, and so it disappears as soon as you leave. But no, this wasn't a contradiction caused by sloppy writing. No, it was a test of your faith! If you can't reconcile these opposing facts in your mind, then you simply don't believe enough, and "real" Trek fans will declare you an apostate and cast you out! But you don't want that, do you? You want to belong, right? To conform? To think like everyone else? I knew you did! Good anon! Here, have a num-num.
>>213514440
Must be a boring episode... people are hardly posting about it at all.
>>213514453
I suppose I could watch my downloaded version.

Okay I’m sorry that was a low blow you’re already Chinese down there

Love me some space explosions. Kino episode.

Great episode guys, only gets better from here

good night ds9 watchers! thanks for comin' outl. luv u

>>213514823
Im going to stay for the Voyager episode cause it introduces Jeri Ryan 's boobs

The success of the GREAT /trek/ DS9 WATCHTHROUGH continues, the envy of all Nu Trek derailers and toontroon seethers.

Now, we've got the first entry of Seven of Nine kino. This is more or less the first episode of Voyager 2.

They didn't want him to look too "street." I think that was the actual term they used.

Sorry I missed ds9 guys, had to watch my pats preseason game.

> the Texaco Man did nothing wrong.

>>213514850
do you think i should watch these Voy episodes even if i've never seen it before?

>>213514882
That's honestly a tough one.

I would only say yes if you tried S1-S2 of VOY and couldn't make it through at all. There is still good Star Trek there though, particularly in S3.
But the show does improve from S4-S7 imo and it might make you want to do a full rewatch someday.

>>213514882
Yes, unless you have to work in 6 hours or something

>>213514910
i have never watched any VOY ever so I think i'll refrain. i'll watch it on my own time and post about my complaints here when i do.

Shes way fucking hotter in the black technolatex. Id be ok with ai slop of her dancing in that.

Uh oh... Mariner sure is a naughty one! I mean, she can have any man (or woman) she wants, yet she still has to sate her hypersexuality with naked holodeck guys! She sure likes them big, doesn't she? And in at least four different colors, even! After this scene, she and Tendi... well, I don't need to tell you what they did. But they sure can't show that on TV, not even on streaming services! Starfleet is basically a luxury cruise liner in space. No wonder they're willing to die for it and not get paid!

Your prose style is very distinctive. Or, perhaps we just have a special connection and I know for sure it’s you. How do you feel approaching the big 3 0? Is this what you thought you’d be spending your time doing? You know, with your living situation and all.

Feeling retarded

I'm loving /trek/ now that we have H&I watch parties as long as we ignore the schizo

And here he is... First Officer Jack Ransom! Handsome devil, isn't he? He's like this show's Riker! He can have any woman he wants, and the women will take that from him, because they're squat and purple and, like every other race in the galaxy, would rather make it with a white man than literally anyone else. The galaxy is his buffet, and what a spread, amirite?
>>213515355
Your schizo delusions are not an accurate reflection of reality. I mean, you know that, but still, I understand it's fun to pretend.
>>213515528
You're missing an epic watchalong. But hey, I understand if you'd rather stay up your own butthole. So dark, and cozy...

>>213512630
Her name is Tendi?

You already said that.

>>213514578
>Remember when you were little, and your whole family hated you

That's how you end up liking Nu Trek, by being an insufferable little shit hated by your own family

>>213515898
Hey I don't mind Strange New World so far. It's mid enough to watch stoned.

And here's the first officer's buddy, Second Officer Stevens! See, they CAN cure baldness in the future, but after Picard made it so sexy, men opt to stay bald so they can look just like him! Besides, doesn't a bald head look like the tip of a penis? It's just layers upon layers in this entirely well-written and not at all ridiculous commercial entertainment franchise.
>>213515684
You felt really good about yourself when you seethe, don't you? How wonderful for you! I'm sure it made you feel like a really big man!
>>213515781
Yes! Just like your favorite food! She's also soft, warm, and squishy.
>>213515851
Just testing if you were actually reading. You've earned the real text that was supposed to go with that post.
>>213514081
Oh noes, they have to live in a hallway! What skillful writing! See, you have to give your characters setbacks, so that the audience will empathize with them. Otherwise, you just end up with a bunch of boring Mary Sues, and then the fans start basing some sort of religion around them and refuse to accept that everyone doesn't believe exactly like they do. And what's with the guy barely wearing that towel? Just serves to punctuate how "low" these lower decks really are! They could probably take sonic showers with their clothes on, then their clothes would get clean too.

>>213513178
They fixed it?
>>213513271
They started shooting without a complete script, and Roddenberry kept rewriting what they already had without telling anyone. I read somewhere that there were maybe five total pages that survived to the end of filming unchanged. For his part original writer Harold Livingston never self-censored his contempt for Gene in later years and was happy to publicly cuss him out every chance he got.

>>213516018
Well there you go, pal. The guy posting giant schizo posts tagging half the thread? That's your fellow Nu Trek fan!

You guys are alone in this thread, so enjoy each other's company!

Did they put some kind of dental applique or something on 7's teeth when she's full Borg? They look all grimy and nasty like her skin.

New AI slop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxuDLsgWums

Uh oh, Boimler has to talk to the captain! Doesn't he look scared? Don't you just want to reach out and cuddle him and soothe his jangled little nerves? And how about the ancient California flag on the back wall? Is that a reference to the ship being California class? Or is it because the captain lives in California? Layers upon layers, peeling away like some sort of vegetable that has layers.
>>213515870
It happened to the oldtrek geezer seethers. Why do you think they're so angry?
>>213515898
It's pathetic jumping to conclusions like that that reveal you to be a petty, small-minded, mean-spirited little goblin of a man-child.
>>213515992
Have you even been reading my watchthrough? Then why do you think everything I post is literally accurate? I've got a Nigerian prince I'd like to introduce you to.
>>213516046
I'm having a joyful, spirited conversation with half the thread. You wish your posts had so much engagement. Have you considered not being so transparently jealous?

>>213516046
Let's not get too hasty, Jordie... You've had issues with this in the past. I said it was mid enough to watch stoned, not that I need depressed weirdos as friends.

>>213516085
One reason I hate AI slop is because people who have absolute SHIT TASTE aren't gatekept from creating things.

Why was this made? Who is this meant to entertain?

the klingon empire does not forgive

>>213516206
How is the Klingon empire so racially homogeneous?

>>213516141
Hell's Klingons made me chuckle. I'm man enough to admit that.

>>213516029
>They fixed it?
anon is referring to when the transporter just gruesomely killed two people and then 10 minutes later they're laughing at Bones for being an old fogey who doesn't want his molecules scrambled, which was probably the result of rewrites causing the plot to go schizo
I love TMP regardless but it's rough

>>213516206
NOR FORGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeet

>>213516247
I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder

Uh oh... our little Boimler just got a le heckin big-time special mission from the captain herself! He has to keep an eye on his buddy Mariner! Seems the captain doesn't brook anyone who thinks differently than she does! You know, just like the oldtrek geezers! Captain Freeman is truly an old-school style captain, and one all real Trek fans should look up to and fellate! Although I guess that would be cunnilingue. Cunnilinguate? I don't know. What do I look like, a cunning linguist?
>>213516085
Absolutely epic! Also, I'm pretty sure this video shows a level of technology that certain geezers claimed was 10 years away. It's now, people. You can make the Star Trek episodes of your dreams, right now. Except that you have no talent and can't write a line of text to save your life. How sad. The world is passing you by, and you're powerless to do anything about it.
>>213516141
Again with the gatekeeping. You desperately want to be in charge, don't you. Thankfully, we've got an entire system dedicated to keeping people like you from ever being in charge.

>>213516385
Dude, you’ve been going at this for hours. You’re on fire today baiter. I don’t know where you get the energy. I like that some days there’s normal conversation here and that other days this general is unusable.

Here's Rutherford, on a date with that adorable Ensign Barnes! Yes, she's a Trill, just like your beloved Jadzia Dax. Why is it that women who have had space slugs surgically implanted in them are so hot? There's something about mid women in sci-fi makeup that makes them so much hotter. Pining after women in Star Trek is totally normal and not at all pathetic and cringe! And don't let anyone tell you differently! Rutherford is sure into it! And she's into the big metal plate on the side of his head! Kind of like the one you had to have put in your head after you were born because you were defective, given that your parents were first cousins, but Rutherford gets to show his off! What a lucky guy.
>>213516478
Just sharing my love of nuTrek, demonstrating that love is totally justified, engaging with many anons in a positive way that the oldtrek geezer seethers can only dream of, and demonstrating strong evidence that I'm not a master baiter, but instead a cunning linguist. Also, I spelled out my supplement cocktail above.

WAY LINK COMPLETE!

>>213516541
Can you do a watch-along with STD or SNW?

Goodnight, /trek/!

Based threads lately

I hate how ENT is so short that it feels like you blink and H&I is already at the end of season 4 and right back to season 1

Uh oh, sci-fi stuff happening! Those alien insects can sure pack a wallop, can't they? This is, of course, in line with all the great Star Trek series, with their tight plotting and totally meaningful themes, along with plot developments like these that are basically lolrandom. Such a rich tradition they're upholding! And zombies never get boring, do they? Of course not! That's why they're everywhere!
>>213516585
I could, but I'd much rather do LD. I've only posted 17 parts of episode 101, but I've got many more to go, and another 49 episodes to do. And all of these posts will be on-topic, positive, harmonious, and will undoubtedly generate large amounts of engagement. And anyone trying to find a reason to be bitter about that needs to take a long, hard look at their life and where they've ended up, and ask if being that petty, small-minded, and mean-spirited is all worth it.

Why is it taking him 4 hours to watch a 20 minute episode

>>213516585Isn't this adorable? Despite chaos breaking out all around them, they still manage to continue their cute date! And I'm glad to see Starfleet crewpeople are allowed to carry their phasers wherever they go. None of that trigger-lock crap for them, no sir! It's like Texas in space. I'm glad Hollywood got it right—Second Amendment rights for everyone! I grew up around guns, and I am proud to say that I never, ever, EVER shot anyone accidentally.
Why don't you do the watchthrough for STD or SNW? It's not difficult—just watch the episode, take screenshots of key moments, write a little blurb for each one, post them, and reply to anyone who replied to you! It's on-topic, positive, and will spur anon engagement.

Lol did Archer learn that move from slapping C4 on enemies in Metal Gear Solid?

Uh oh, what's that scheming Mariner up to? Maybe the captain was right about her! What does Boimler do? Does he stay loyal to his friend? Or does he keep his promise to the captain? It's called stakes and conflict, people! These are the element of which drama is made! You can't hear the ominous music in the scene, but I assure you, it's very ominous, in an ominous sort of way.
>>213517050
Because I'm looking for key scenes with which to make snapshots, and writing blurbs for each one? You think that happens instantly? Besides, I'm not trying to flood the thread; I wait a short while after each post, to incorporate user engagement.

>>213517050
Time dilation? Temporal loop? Multispatial temperodynamic inversion? Fuck the Vulcan science directorate anyway

>>213517050
Just ignore him, like everybody else in his life does

>>213517143
His dad didn't ignore him if you know what I mean

>>213517050
this isn't some bad Ai thing?

Here's our lovable, sweet Tendi, going to work in Sick Bay for the first time, and... holy mother of crap! What a mess! Drama, conflict, and stakes as far as the eye can see! And what's that we see just inside the door? That's right, the chief medical officer is a Caitian! It's the first appearance of that species since the original Animated Series back in 1973, the one where the TOS crew did the voices! What a clever and respectful callback to the storied history of Trek! Certainly no reason for an oldtrek geezer to seethe; after all, how could someone be so petty, small-minded, and mean-spirited about a sweet little kitty cat? Meow! Purr! Pfft!
>>213511562
Being personally familiar with the effect of psychiatric medication is NOT something to brag about. How young were you when your parents gave up on trying to control you & simply drugged you into a stupor? What has your life been like ever since?
>>213517143
Oh, the bitterness you have in your heart. That's going to lead you to an early grave. And it guarantees that I'll be back to do more of this. After all, it's on-topic, positive, and leads to user engagement. Hope you're enjoying the fruit of your labors! This literally wouldn't have been possible without you. 49 episodes to go, and I'm not even done with this one yet...

Interesting

Okay, Crusher telling the Trill she's not into their next host isn't as bad as I expected. People made it seem like she was a bigot for not being into a woman but it seems more like she's fucked up by the symbiotic relationship & who calls the shots.

DS9 definitely fleshes the Trill out in a better fashion.

>>213517459
I appreciated them more as weird monsters of the week than I did fleshed out. DS9 just sort of glosses over the fact that a federation civ is run by and for the benefit of giant buttslugs. Somehow that’s ok but the cute little guys from season 1 are a nono. It’s weird

>>213517578
They kill the host creature that is spawning them and purge the takeover, though. It ends in Conspiracy and it's over for good. Why would DS9 cover a dead and resolved storyline that even TNG never followed up on itself?

>>213517578
Just watched Conspiracy today. The bug guys in conspiracy are violent and actively trying to take over the federation. There’s no canon explanation as to who or what they are (originally supposed to be the borg, in DS9 novels their a mutant group of Trills, in STO something else entirely) but they are definitely evil. The trill I see as more cultish not necessarily evil.

>>213517348
Don’t gas yourself out in the first round

>>213517578
I'm not even sure what their whole deal is. I mean, I get that the symbiont is supposed to retain memories of past hosts. That makes sense. But it seems like there's a whole hell of a lot more going on there. Like when Odo and Kurzon linked up in that ritual and it was more like his soul went into Odo. Or when Ezri was able to summon up a tulpa of that one murderer host and carry on conversations with him.

I’m watching the Season 2 TNG episode “Loud as a Whisper” and I like when the deaf guy and Geordi relate on the bridge.

>>213511023
>pic not related

>>213517599
>>213517629
It’s just the only example that popped into my head. There are mindworms in Wrath of Kahn too. Point is that it seems odd to me that a species like the Trill, which naturally seems like an asymmetric power thing where the joined are dominant over the unjoined is fine by the federation. First and second class citizens, slaves to the buttslugs all. It’s weird

>>213511617
can you do your mother and I a favor and kill yourself already so she doesn't have to support your basement dwelling incel ass any longer

What's up with Picard and Indie Dreamcore Redheads?

>>213517774
There are those who don’t join in trill society though. I see it more of choice than just bug assimilation. That’s why I said it’s a tad more cultish. The trill aren’t an evil bug race if anything I view it more as the bug wants “immortality” and the carrier wants “immortality”. The trill aren’t definitely not my favorite race and the muddle a lot of the story lines about them, but I can see why the federation doesn’t feel threatened by them.

>>213517727
That’s sort of what I mean: like they make a superficial attempt to flesh it out but never really make it clear. My read is that the slugs calls the shots, within the relationships with the joined but also in their society as a whole. That seems a little fucked up and they don’t really talk about it in the show which is a shame because it’s neat, if not weird

>>213517853
But the goal is to be joined, it’s what they all aspire to. To have giant mind controlling slugs up their butts. The only Trill we see in Starfleet have slugs up their butts. Their society is structured to maximally benefit mind controlling buttslugs. It’s weird

>>213517913
IIRC Ezri's family were all non-joined, and her mom kind of pissy that her daughter was "taken from them" when she got SLUGGED.COM. Seemed like they were a pretty well off family too. Maybe it's like Starship Troopers where you're free to be a successful business owner or whatever you want if you're slugless, but only the joined one have any kind of say so in their politics.

>>213517913
Ezri wasn't joined and she was in Starfleet

>>213517913
Yeah brother what this anon said >>213517953
a lot of troll society were not joined. It was a unique thing that not everyone wanted or got to do.

>>213517989

Vedek Bareil is back. In pog form!

OP should specify only trek made before 2009 discussion next thread if we're gonna be playing stupid games

/trek/ has been moving fast today

I've seen everything from DS9 through the latest episode of SNW, and a few dozen random episodes of TOS and TNG. Also the first two films, I'll get through the rest of the preJJ films soon. I got the 1080p encodes of all of TOS and TNG(nearly a TB) queued up and ready to roll. Time to pop some popcorn and dive in.

>>213518449
it does that when a third of the posts are from some1 having a melty
>>213518522

>>213518553
It wasn’t just a melty it was an epic melty. He did it the thread before this one too. I hope he’s ok

>>213518522
Why did you watch ds9 before tng? You miss a lot doing that.

When does the watchalong start daily?

>>213518611
I'd seen a decent amount of TNG already from watching random reruns on TV and wanted to watch something with a more serialized story. Maybe I did it wrong, but I'll rewatch it eventually and I guess I'll get to catch some new stuff the second time around.

>>213518607
why would you wish such a horrible fate
>>213518629
when the ds9 episode airs

>>213518694
Doesn't it go TOS>TNG>DS9>VOY>ENT for the schedule?

>>213518770
Yes if you notice it’s actually in chronological order of when each series aired

>>213518770
ya https://www.handitv.com/schedule/

>>213518694
I think deep down he’s a trek fan, just a misguided psycho one. It takes all kinds, and it’s good for a chuckle to boot

>>213518790
>>213518793
..that's odd. Then, where are the nu-trek series? Strange that they'd just be left out like that.

>>213518818
Periodic schizo meltdowns are the beating heart of /trek/ at this point. I 'member them happening as far back as the late 2010's.

>>213518964
Well my baiter friend, the nuTrek stuff probably costs too much to license or doesn’t fit into the block. I don’t have the exact answer but I would also argue that they play the trek series in order of what people would want to watch the most as well. TOS fans come first, but it can be skipped, TNG gets the best spot, followed by DS9 and ENT is in the rear because well even though I love it, I’d wager the majority of trek fans enjoy VOY more. A 1am SNW would be odd, and nobody wants to watch DIS. I could see LD being played on something gay like SYFY no offense, but they wouldn’t put a cartoon in the block.

Wasn't H&I running TAS for a while?

>>213518818
I really don't think he is, I believe he's just a bog standard contrarian schizo. He was most likely the weird edgy kid at school with no friends, and something wrong physically wrong with him like a lisp, premature hair loss, or chris chan syndrome. I'd chuckle too were it funny, but it's like watching a kid throw a tantrum in the aisle at a grovery store because his mommy won't buy him sugary cereal. It's just cringe.

is he using one of frakes' spares?

>>213520125
Probably. I know they reused different people's uniforms all the time. For instance, in Generations they made LeVar Burton wear Colm Meaney's short sleeve unifrm from DS9.

>>213520125
They learnt their lesson from early TNG, everyone became a fat bastard except Patstew.

he's not. you should go back into the last thread and read how he admits he "likes" trek in an ironic way and basically watches it like MST3K. he thinks it insists upon itself and needs to be taken down a peg by hateful cartoon parody just because it dares to be earnest.

What would you do if an Ice Man came to your village and started doing science in a provocative manner? What would you do if he used his ice man strength to smash some of your stuff? What would you do if he used his handheld energy weapon to destroy your agricultural infrastructure?

All these questions and more will be answered on tonight's episode of 'Data and You!'

>>213522594
That isn't an episode sounds like an amalgam of thine own self and ensigns of command

>>213522940
Correct, my examples are listed from those episodes, Data and You! is a show dedicated to handling trauma associated by being visited by the walking natural disaster that is Starfleet's attack android. We help you overcome pain associated with his visits, and also helpful home times to avoid having him befall you again. Did you know that 9\10 victims of android violence do not make full recoveries after the fact? Like steel toed boot cutting your toes off; the pressure of an android crushing your wrist can cause jewellery or bracers crush and destroy bone. We interview a klingon who can no longer swing his bat'leth.

>>213522594
What would you do if a Crystalline Entity came to your world and started feeding on energy in a provocative manner? What would you do if it used it's electromagnetic pull to wipe out the science colony you had been living on and kill your son?

Sounds like an informative and helpful program

There were some background Caitians in the 4th movie, then some appearances in the Kelvin timeline, but i didn't think you acknolwedged nuTrek. I updated my text to say "first main character of that species", for when I repost the entire thing (since you're demanding a correction).
>>213521637
If you insist on twisting my words, I insist on staying here forever until you behave like a good little boy.

>>213524222
why are you replying to posts over 8 hours old?

>>213517629
The space crabs were supposed to be a primary antagonist, but the SFX were too expensive, so the show came up with the Borg instead, and simply dropped the storyline. You may have to accept that TNG isn't that well thought out.

>>213518964
Paramount can actually make money showing nuTrek. The older series are dumped onto broadcast TV because that's where their audience is... old boomers that still watch broadcast TV. Didn't you notice the ads are all for old people, like AARP, Life Alert, and charity donations?

Normal people sleep for 8 hours. It's only incel NEET shutins that pass out for an hour or so then go back to seething on 4chan.

What wonderful projection! It's perfectly fine when you do it, but if I do it, it's somehow wrong! I think your double standard is just precious. But this is only the beginning... soon, I'm going to finish my watchthrough of the 1st episode of Lower Decks! And it'll be on-topic, positive, and hopeful, and (like my posts now) will feature public engagement! Aren't you just tingling with anticipation? I know I am! And now I'm off to create the new thread, which of course will have a Lower Decks theme. See you soon!

So he’s more cringe than you because he slept for eight hours at some point I get it. He’s weak. Real posters do meth and live in second going in third world time zones

>>213524602
but I don't, you however clearly do, you realize not every has the same sad pathetic existence you do, who the fuck gets up and immediately jumps on /tv/ to try and start fights over 8 hours old? you are incredibly sad and pathetic

I slept went to work had dinner watched some trek and now I'm posting again, what a strange projection

>>213524623
You know that time means nothing! It was only a few days ago that the oldtrek geezers made a new /trek/ thread after one had already been created. Then their thread got deleted, then they made another one, then that got autosaged. So making a Lower Decks thread would be completely in line with established oldtrek geezer behavior. Besides, I said that just to goad a geezer into making a thread immediately. And now, they'll be waiting in anticipation for post 310, so they can make a new thread, day or night, just so I don't do it. They do whatever I want, and they think it was their decision all along. Isn't this fun?!

>>213524862
Nobody posts in your threads, though, and we all want you to leave, so by all means, please! Make your cool Pickle Trek thread and go jerk off to circles ya faggot!

>>213524642
oldtrek geezes, that's who. you, that's who. strange projection

>>213524893
Oh, aren't you adorable? You think you speak for others! But given your advanced schizophrenia, you barely even speak for yourself! Isn't it fun to invent consensus out of thin air? Just like the middle-school bullies did when they tortured you into clinical madness! And now, here you are, carrying on the same vicious cycle! Makes you feel like a big man, doesn't it? I'm so glad i could help you to feel better about yourself! And now we can all look forward to a long day of posting about Trek! I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself! How about you?

>>213524894
are you schizophrenic? no its you obviously you just admitted thats what you do
