CGI should have been a fad in the early 2000's or solely used for effects that practical effects couldn't handle. Modern Hollywood uses it as a crutch and now movies look worse than 20 years ago. But movies from the 70's and 80's still hold up visually, aside from some silly chroma keying.
What's the biggest scientific miss in Star Trek?
I'd say it's Fermat's last theorem being unsolved in the future in "The Royale" six years before it was solved IRL
>>213801235
yeah its when you take the nacel, body, saucer section and use it to try and make a new model. same term covers any kind of combination like that for other things too like reusing armor for aliens. reusing existing pieces rather than starting from scratch basically
>>213800946 (OP)
I'm just gonna say it. I think the Defiant is ugly. I love DS9, and it does add a lot to the show having them be able to go on adventures. But it's ugly as sin. No shape or definition, just ugly
>>213801301
i love it and it works with the idea that it was designed for a specific purpose of being a warship vs the borg since its so fundamentally different looking from others. they did mess up the scale of it in the show though, it wasn't big enough to actually dock a runabout or something so there is conflicting numbers on how large it actually was supposed to be
Due to borrowing from material like the RPG ships like pic related have been made canon on Star Trek and you even see their drawings on screen. Just wish they used all the FASA ships and not just some to flesh out other races.
>>213801627
Did Enterprise use the old warp scale? They were pretty proud of their warp factor 5 but was it really warp 5? No chance that TOS ship could have a safe cruising speed of warp 8
>>213802545
so many great moments in Attached >Annoying aliens >sexual tension >Dr. getting insights into how a Captain's mind works >that one canyon in Los Angeles where they shoot every fuckin episode
>>213803448
I want to know that too. What happened to the lovely props, sets, costumes? Did they get auctioned off to charity? Are they rotting in a Paramount storage closet even now?
>>213803569 >Props/costumes
Some were auctioned. You can Google the Its-a-Warp auction, the Denise and Michael Okuda estate auction, and other auctions >Sets
Destroyed
>>213803448
all models or just those specific ones? generally a lot of the models are in museums. some were destroyed by reusing them for later work (so it still exists, but modified from the original). a lot of props, costumes, set pieces were all sold off at auction. https://youtu.be/k3QSxccv8bg
>>213803656
I knew it had to happen but I could not watch footage of the sets being demolished by workers with no attachment to the franchise. The Ent-D bridge is a masterclass in set building.
>>213803730
According to the Voyager cast from some q&a, the sets were destroyed ASAP while still filming the finale.
props are one thing but studios don't fuck around with lot real estate
>>213801235
models of things like ships, planes, robots, space marines, etc. come in kits. kitbashing is when you combine (bash) one or more of these (kits) together to make something new
>>213801806
All they did was cut the Enterprise D into a shot from Star Trek III. It was very common for them to also redress movie sets/props and reuse sets across different series as well back then to cut costs.
>>213789295
I'm surprised you were willing to admit it was even more pathetic than I said it was. I was trying to give you some dignity, but you pissed all over it. Typical.
>>213804839
I think you mean “stinky’s” bum. Remember that episode where he gets trapped with Trip in the shuttle and he records like half a dozen messages to the women he was banging back on earth.
>>213805456
You like to run in circles with your hollowed out arguments. Pornography is being made illegal in America without your ability to provide sufficient age verification you really are going to be a target of law enforcement very soon. You do it on a blue board that’s premeditated and especially bad. Memeing yourself into thinking everything I say is not real will not end well for you
>>213805557
McFadden and Sirtis were well over the age of majority when they made that episode. They're fully clothed & all they do is kiss. Nothing about that is illegal, or ever will be. You are a compete spaz.
>>213805572
It doesn’t matter where you live, you’re knowingly disseminating your elicit material over boarders to places it’s illegal. Not being a first worlder only means you won’t get due process dumbass. Literal airstrike
>>213805611
It is literally already illegal you fucking retard we already did it you can’t verify the age so you’re an illegal enterprise and you’re doing it on blue spaces with malice of forethought
>>213805613 >your elicit material over boarders
Missed this bit of illiteracy earlier. You're either a brainlet or you're ESL. >>213805804 >In literally
You do realize you've already revealed yourself to be an idiot, right? Have fun seething.
>>213805867
You are seething. I’m talking like a drunk lawyer and you get some well deserved retards thrown in, but you don’t even have ideas just character attacks. You know I’m right it isn’t even a debate the laws already got passed and they’re being broken. It’s a matter of time now
>>213805930
Name one law that makes an AI image of fully-clothed majority-age women kissing qualify as porn.
Name one law that makes such a thing illegal.
NAME. ONE.

The Excelsior is peak Trek ship design. More sophisticated than the Connie, more practical than the Galaxy. It's quite possibly the best ship Starfleet designed considering it's shelf life. Not the ship of captains but admirals.
>>213805962
I’m not a lawyer you fucking retard at the same time what I’m telling you is not conjecture. The sites all have age verification now. If you’re not providing that, we’re not dealing in rocket science. And you’re doing it in sfw places so you’re not even in the running for being a reasonable person
>>213806075
You're still seething about the fully-clothed majority-age women kissing? Did you miss the gay orgy? You are beyond pathetic. Please keep seething. I enjoy watching you humiliate yourself.
Tonight's discussion topic: Bartenders. Who was better? On the one hand we have the wise and mysterious Guinan. On the other we have the Ferengi's Ferengi, Quark.

Jeff Bezos bought the Enterprise model built for The Motion Picture at the Christies auction and has it sitting in the lobby of his Blue Origin building.
>>213806259
Okay, maybe you actually have a brain. You should be able to confirm for me porn requires age verification in the first world now. These people are actual third worlds and this thread really solidifies that. Even thinking it’s arguable is so disconnected from reality. And then they call me schizo. Just crazy
>>213806259
All they would have to do to verify what I’m saying is look at the news from the first world or try to look at porn from a first world country kek yet we’re “debating” something
>>213806166
And now he's gone. You're welcome. >>213806177
What evidence is there for Guinan being wise? She's just the "magical negro" stereotype. Almost as cringe as the Ferengi being the "covetous Jew" stereotype.
>>213806259
They ARE THE PROBLEM I actually talk about Star Trek. They repeat the same things over and over in autistic rituals insisting nothing is left to discuss!!
>>213806403 >And now he's gone. You're welcome.
Oh, you are new to the thread, aren't you? He'll be back in 10 minutes. Doesn't matter if you report him for anything, doesn't matter if he's making criminal threats and gets reported for illegal activity. He always comes back, anon.
>>213806474
Retard, when you went on one of the websites, did it stop you and ask you for age verification? This isn’t a debate you are literally insane
>>213805637 >I know, we should put our bridge where all our important people are exposed right on top of the ship like a cute little button. What could possibly go wrong?
>>213806603
Literally every single thing you say is the opposite of reality you all simp for tripfag troops I watched you for years dumbass kys hahahaha
>>213806522
I didn't have to click through. Google showed me all that without asking me for age verification. So much for your theory. Who actually goes to porn web sites to get porn, anyway? What are you, a grandpa? >>213806549

You may want to re-up whatever stimulant you're on. It sounds like you're crashing. You have yet to provide any evidence of any law. If Google can serve up porn images without age verification, then clearly you're completely full of it. Now move on to another topic of seething; you've become boring.

I literally dragged that guy outside and quoted scripture about peace with his pistol in my chest while mine and tranny cashiers blood dripped from it. The only thing I was afraid of was the results of the std test

The laws exist, the internet is going to be segregated by worlds. You will have your third world internet but it will no longer stimulate you without access to the innocent children
NEVER has a few anons just sitting around enjoying an episode about Star Trek with the occasional shitpost about it caused so much seething.
Watch and enjoy, /trek/, and know that your satisfaction is like a red-hot splinter in the mind of the schizos trying to deconstruct /trek/.
>>213806894
I already proved you wrong. Google served up uncensored porn images without age verification. Either move on to a different subject or shut up. I'm gonna go human for a while; when I get back, you better be more interesting.

There was that old fat guy Dr. Crusher was friends with during the start of that episode where she gets stuck in a pocket universe that's slowly collapsing

Then, again, he didn’t think it, someone else thought it, said it, and he would like to retroactively take credit for the idea. That would be your impersonator at work

You are literally retarded and schizophrenic. The skin walkers tread among us. You think they shift shapes like the founders. Jokes on you they can't be seen or heard because the kings pact still binds them under the stone at Solomon's temple. They shift ideas. Memes. Lamassu and Pazuzu become Labubu and they corrupt your children. You sick fucks probably buy it for your families. Elf on the Shelf more like Naughty for the Illuminati. You sleepwalk like the sheep you should be counting while Nuhammad laughs at the fall of western civilization. The barbarians are at the gates and all you can think about is muh Dukat. You know who cared about ducats? Judas and he betrayed his immortal soul for only thirty of them. Meanwhile you schizophrenic terrorists will be (1/487)

Yes. Used to be a bigger problem. The imposter has put on the trip of someone with a different code and talked about taking their kids. They’re not a cute problem
>>213807722
Can always just watch along the episode we're on, on any other app, though you won't get the commercial kino
it's a free over the air channel though, don't need cable
I bet one of those streaming sites that streams a bunch of cable channels probably streams it live too, I could try finding one

You are blessed. I never got into wrestling and cannot help peel my bleeding eyes away from the chicanery but the concept of kayfabe or whatever it’s called has bleed into base reality. Professional wrestling may have been the most influential thing to happen to the human race. Proof of concept at scale for the real world returns and followings of absolute lies people keep begging to hear
>>213808226
Yeah I wish I was schizo. I play up being zany because they’re gonna call me a schizo no matter what. The term conspiracy theorist was literally coined by the cia in the wake of a presidential assassination they committed. Kayfabe
>>213808366
That's just what they WANT you to think! Also, they go back in time to cover up the conspiracy! That's why there's no evidence! You heard it here first!
>>213808637
The best evidence is the evidence. The bullet that supposedly did all that was “found” sitting on the gurney pre autopsy with zero deformation. Bullets deform and that don’t hang around it would’ve been in the car or in the street or in somebody, and in pieces.

You're too late. I already ate it. You'll have to investigate my poop. I'll drop some off on your doorstep tomorrow morning, in a flaming paper bag.
He may be an ensign but he's an ops specialist who is highly qualified to work the position and has been chosen as a bridge officer which makes him a senior officer by default.
>>213808606
The original Excelsior model was used up until the Generations, where is was permanently changed with new parts on it for the Enterprise-B. When Voyager had the Excelsior show up in an episode, they could not use the Enterprise-B model because of the changes, so a new Excelsior had to be built, by Greg Jein. pic related.
>>213808637
It was however traced to that gun. That means while they were training, him they collected sand bagged rounds, for the big day. And they trained him in Russia. Co-operation between our highest echelon and theirs during the Cold War. A singular order, practicing kayfabe
>>213809245
That's about 10 leaps of logic that make zero sense. >>213809246
It's free section 8. No girl that comes home with me thinks I'm a secret tech billionaire. Your hostility and superiority complex are the anti-thesis of trek and why nerds were traditionally derided.
>>213809658
It's not at all. He might be the highest rank, most qualified Operations officer on the ship, so he works the station and is the senior Operations officer.
What's so difficult to understand about that? Typically the pilot/navigator is also an Ensign or a Lieutenant at most as well.
>>213809772
After some searching and reading, it appears you are correct. He is the senior ops officer. The reason it's difficult to understand is largely that he is a fresh ensign out of starfleet, it is bizarre that there is not an experienced veteran serving as a senior officer. It is the implication the word "senior" gives.
>>213810021
He's a whiz kid, hand-picked by Janeway to work the Ops station.
Keep in mind, Voyager isn't exactly the Enterprise. It ain't the flagship. It's a science vessel, not a massively important command or anything really.
>>213810021 >>213810058 >>213810067
Additionally, it could have something to do with Voyager being so state-of-the-art with its neural gelpacks or whatever the fuck that only a guy right out of the Academy would really be trained on the new technology or something like that.
>>213810067
it was kind of important in that it had tech meant to be tested on smaller vessels, things like the bio-neural gel packs. they made it pretty clear that voyager was very advanced in the first few seasons
>>213810067
Whizkid or not, the federation encompasses an absurd population. You don't get to just jump the line like that, especially in such a (to steal a term from today) "rules based order". It just doesn't make sense. But it's nitpicking I don't really care that much.
>>213810173
The Federation has an absurd population but I never got the feeling that Starfleet was particularly huge despite that.
Also it is ultimately a meritocracy. He may've been the best man for the job, simple as that. Hell, Janeway went and got Paris out of prison because she needed the best pilot in the fleet.
Maybe I'm blind or something, or I don't have an eye for detail, but could someone point out the differences between the original excelsior and the refurbished one?
>>213810219
I guess it comes down to my personal belief (however misguided it might be), that starfleet is a direct descendant of the USN and operates structurally in a similar manner. >The Federation has an absurd population but I never got the feeling that Starfleet was particularly huge despite that.
Less than 1% of the U.S. population is on active duty at any given time. There is still structure and for senior ranks serious politics. >Also it is ultimately a meritocracy. He may've been the best man for the job, simple as that. Hell, Janeway went and got Paris out of prison because she needed the best pilot in the fleet.
Gotta go back to the politics. Which clearly still exist in our utopian dream-future. Still gotta work your way up the ranks.
>>213810395
Anon, that is the toontroon you just replied to. That’s how they operate. Shit up the thread and then try to force the meme I am them and I was talking to myself. It’s be interesting if it wasn’t played out and transparent. I know this because of the number of people who participated in Velma posting and who was missing from their stations while it happened. This is the truth but I’m sure you’ll find a better fix
>>213810729
Yes indeed. Christ is king. How could you possibly know who they are without communicating on outside channels anon? That makes you a toontroon too. Toontroon means discord user in /trek/lish
