>>0 year olds aren't watching nutrek. Nutrek is for melenials or zoomers who weren't that big on TOS. Probably watched some TNG but mostly just want Family Guy and bi sexuals and trek references to feel like le epic nerds.
I fucking hate how spoof shows like Family Guy are younger generations' only reference point for classic media. Nobody born in a year starting with 2 knows Star Trek for Star Trek. They either know the Kelvin movies (which are quickly being forgotten) or the Family Guy Happy Meal toy version. They have their own media made for their 10 second attention spans. Star Trek to some 23 year old is that show Peter Griffin likes.

geezers are indeed watching nutrek. we've seen evidence from the bbs

sex trek with star shran

>>214295410
I'm 23 and Ive watched everything from the cage to nemesis in order

>>214294897 (OP)
I did not care for Unification

>>214295888
have you watched any nuslop?

>>214295888
sorry about nemesis, you were warned

>>214295888
And you’re the outlier. The average 23 year old is not putting on a show their grandparents watched. Kids bully each other ruthlessly over having socially unacceptable interests. They even have a slur for people born in the 20th century, Unc.

>>214296029
you might be retarded, if we let slip we liked star trek back in the 90s its the same thing, weird you don't know that

>>214296027
I wish TNG ended on a better note than that (PIC can fuck off, fucking trash)

>>214295410
>webm
What ep was this? I don't remember it

>>214296010
Reluctantly so

>>214296070
you can always decide it ended with insurrection which has flaws sure but it ended on a nice note, or you know the real ending all good things

>>214296071
The Host
The one where Trills reveal their true nature as parasites that take over the body's mind completely instead of a benevolent symbiosis

I am 36. What should I be watching as my ovaries shrivel and die?

>>214296029
I started at age 16 so I had an open mind
Maybe if I tried to start it now I would feel different

>>214296101
meh I guess
Nemesis was in desperate need of rewrites but they phoned it in so hard, it's sad

>>214296130
One thing I always say when it's brought up in conversation is that Shinzon should have threatened to fire his Medusa ray at Romulus instead of Earth. Why Earth? Who gives a shit, they never wronged him. Picard fighting to protect a once bitter enemy would've been more Treklike.

>>214296099
and how do you rate it?

>>214296130
after insurrection they got a director who knew absolutely nothing about star trek, originally shinzon was suppose to be picards son but in a rare moment of clarity stewart vetoed that as being retarded. Sirtis has said most of the cast was annoyed as the director had them sayings and doing things the characters never would, so at least part of the checked out feel is because the actors and the director were not getting along

>>214296122
your post history while you profusely apologies for years of retardation

>>214296047
I only got into Trek myself a few years ago. Modern Hollywood is so awful I had no choice but to see what old media has stood the test of time. I was a weeb kid growing up. I was always intimidated by Star Trek’s entry barrier.

>>214296192
It looks nice, that's the best compliment I can give it. Maybe if they get better writers, I do believe it can be salvaged.
But as of now it doesn't interest me

>>214296193
yeah but even the script they started on in 2001 before they had a director assigned was just Wrath of Khan but TNG

>>214296238
well as a kid growing up in the 90s the first rule of liking star trek is you do not talk about star trek

>>214296193
Isn't it weird they messed with Worfs voice? And datas lenses?
It's like they tried to make the characters 'work', as if this was the pilot, and not 15 years after the successful pilot

>>214296273
How do you explain this?
https://youtu.be/lkQFLpy4LnQ
A stadium of fans watching the finale live, like Seinfeld?
Seriously asking, I wasn't alive

>>214296256
yea it was dumb from the get go, and frankly the script should've been binned and started fresh with star trek veteran writers

>>214296322
series finale? I don't have to explain its obvious, plus its not like their weren't conventions and fan clubs and all sorts of things but you don't just casually talk about it at school or the like

>>214296330
I don't think veteran writers wanted to touch Trek anymore after Michael Piller fumbled Insurrection and RDM had a bad experience on Voyager
I believe that's why they got literally who John Logan to write a script that was, as I said, WoK but Romulans and mind rape

>>214296408
I would've taken Jeri Taylor shes fine at individual episodes just gets lost with long running arcs, in fact get Jeri, Jeri gets Piller, Piller gets RDM, RDM tells Ira to go fuck himself and you've got a good team going

>>214296408
I still think it would've left a better taste in people's mouths if they
>changed Shinzon's motivations
>gave more screentime to anyone who wasn't Picard/Data
>had Jonathan Frakes direct
>made the pacing tighter and less glacial
>either ditched B4 or telegraphed Data's death earlier in the film
some things I would keep like the Remans as a Romulan slave class, that makes sense to me, they hate getting their hands dirty. The Argo jeep is kino idgaf. But the chase scene not so much.

>>214296517
None of this would have saved the movie

>>214296112
Yeah, I don't rewatch that one often lol

>>214296472
Sadly it just wasn't meant to be.
Funny though how fans also blame Brannon Braga even though he wasn't on Insurrection or Nemesis lol

>>214296540
At least with Frakes directing there would've been a more upbeat atmosphere and there wouldn't have been the on-set drama between the actors and Stuart Baird with him constantly referring to Levar as "Laverne" and not understanding how the characters worked

>>214296580
nothing wrong with blaming braga when in doubt always blame braga even if you don't know what he did wrong he does

I really wish they did a Dominion movie

i hereby judge them

>>214296696
can't argue with that

>>214296655
Unfortunately DS9 was too niche for the big screen. It was watched by the fans but it didn't command the broad audience and brand recognition TNG had. Same goes for Voyager, some of whose fans have also said should've made the jump to movies. This is why NuTrek is still beating the dead horse of TOS almost 60 years later because it's a recognizable IP.

>>214296763
Yeah and P saw the Netflix numbers for Voyager which is why they've tried to milk that a bit as well

>>214296763
What would a Voyager movie be? The trial of Kathryn Janeway?

>>214296763
Insurrection wasn't a hit, Nemesis lost money
They could have given a chance to their spin offs, even if it meant a TNG crossover

>>214296839
Short trial
>I call commander Tuvok to the stan...
>its even worse then you think
>ok case closed life in a penal colony next case

>>214296807
Does anyone at Paramount have the sense to look at what's popular and not popular on streaming and ask themselves why that is? What could they learn from TNG/VOY's success on streaming and Discovery's/Section 31's failure?

>>214297033
They're still doing that spinoff set in the STD future era where everything is chrome and everyone is fat and mixed race

>>214297033
lolol
Do you know they're already filming Starfleet Academy season 2?
they trust Alex Kurtzman with their life

>>214297085
it's so obvious that making this slop is just money laundering. it's not made to actually be watched or enjoyed.

>>214297033
They want to use Star Trek fans as free marketing because they think trekkies will eat the slop no matter how bad it is. So the slop is tailored not for them but for normies who they want to hook because Paramount has fuck all other than Star Trek when it comes to useable IPs.

>>214297118
Forgot to mention that's why they seriously considered making a live action Risa sitcom for black people.

Sorry I missed you, it’s my first cup of coffee

>>214296273
I remember a kid in high school got mercilessly bullied because he openly liked MASH. Better times

>>214295410
you still dont get it. nutrek is for paramount to sink money into to enrich their subsidiaries and partners at taxpayer expense.
if they care about the audience at all they wouldnt have wasted 2 billion dollars producing 5 different versions of the same shit nobody tuned in for.

>>214297528
There’s real desperation in Hollywood at this point. The old model is dying and they haven’t a clue what to do about it other than throw money at it

>>214297432
he probably quoted mash constantly like a tard, he was right to be bullied

>>214297629
I’m not sure that he did, the point was it was old and dated and in syndication at the time and therefore considered bullyworthy. He was also a bit of a puss if I remember correctly, but yes

Last thread was a low point. It's time to take stock.

>>214297432
>>214297629
>>214297694
>he didn't live a double life, completely compartmentalizing all of his nerdy hobbies from his normal hobbies
I played sports and all of my friends were peak normalfags so I had no choice.

>>214297737
calm down

>>214297764
Star Trek is supposed to be unifying.

>>214297818
I didn't like Trek as a kid. I didn't get into it as an adult.

I'm grateful for that actually because it helped me appreciate it for what it is without any nostalgia getting in the way. I was able to appreciate the writing from the start which drew me further into the series.
Also fuck off nu trek faggot

>>214297118
>Paramount has fuck all other than Star Trek when it comes to useable IPs.
That's not really true. They have Spongebob, the Sonic movies, and Paw Patrol for kids. Yellowstone and CBS procedural slop for boomers. South Park is also an evergreen IP. They just have no market for millennials and Gen Z.

>>214297848
I only got into it as an adult* rather

>>214297764
none of us did, the thing is finding friends who share your hobbies I did not everyone does, what crying shame world ain't perfect cry me a river

>>214296839
Insaneway did nothing wrong

>>214297432
Why would someone get bullied for liking the most popular and beloved show in the country

>>214297892
I'm not crying at all. My childhood was great. I was able to make friends on both sides of the aisle and as we got into high school, I started selling everyone weed which is a great way to broaden the pool of people you hang out with. Everybody wanted to buy weed. Gets you in all the parties, the nerd parties, the jock parties, the stoner parties, whatever.

Based Vulcan honesty

so why did the soul eating aliens who could travel to anywhere in time and space choose 19th century united states for their hunting grounds instead of a planet that never devoloped past the stone age? they could harvest all the soulds they want with no risk of pissing off someone in the future.

>>214297941
me too, good man

>>214298084
Because it was cool. Don’t worry about it

>>214298084
they realized it was a better time

its pretty stupid that data never changed his skin to look human.
>french
>carlos from south america
lame and gay

>>214298177
This was explained in Prometheus.

>>214298177
I love Data as a character but he’s just Pinocchio for the 24th century. Turning him into a real boy spoils the bit
>why yes, you did run around as a “child” with your fully grown, fully functional green wang flopping around, that is when it wasn’t fully erect. Noonian insisted on it

>>214298177
It just goes to show how tolerant Americans actually are. Even though he looked like a freak and was obviously lying about his origins he was still allowed to have a seat at the table and play cards.

>>214298177
They had the technology to make anyone look like any species. Maybe Data's skin regulated his body to the effect that he couldn't alter his appearance for very long. Like how if you throw a towel on a computer for long periods it could overheat.

>>214298341
Data probably didn't change his skin for the same reason Picard didn't grow hair.

time for a rewatch?

>>214298404
we're recently started season 2

>>214298392
That too. Everyone is so enlightened and post-judgement. It's like,
>Who cares if you have paper-white skin and lizard eyes?
>I didn't even notice he was bald!

>>214298253
i like how data spent decades trying to continue soongs work and he never even caught up to his robot mom.
im glad he died, ultimately more of a liability than an asset

>>214298404
>>214298442
we watch one per day at 7pm PDT, TNG rolls over to S1 soon so we'll add that too

S1 TNG will be fun, especially running up against S2-S3 DS9

>>214298595
It’s an overarching plot hole that somehow giving a robot command responsibilities on the flagship is a good idea, especially considering a perv like Soong had a remote “steal the ship” button on standby. I still cried a little, bully at will

>>214298687
everyone cries watching offspring thats ok

He's biting that female!

>>214294897 (OP)
Didn't Spock die in his bubble spaceship in JarJar Abrams """Trek"""?

>>214298595
He was more advanced in some ways. Less advanced in others. Just like IRL mothers and sons.
>>214298613
The tone and quality whiplash will be insane. DS9 at its worst was still way more polished looking than TNG at its worst. TNG at its worst looked like a high school play. Awful costumes and backgrounds.

>>214298781
Just looks a lot more like TOS which is fine if you enjoy TOS.

It's the writing that makes S1 of TNG suck ass. I like the very distinctly 80s looking seasons of the show.

>>214298341
>mmm soup

So does Data have like a poop bag hidden somewhere? Was that soup saved for later analysis? I’d like to believe the answer to both questions is yes

What is that blue background supposed to be? it can't really be a blue screen that didn't work and left it like this

>>214298906
thaty is where megatron gets his antimatter for his fusion cannon

>>214298948
I assume some shots were impossible to cleanly key out the actors so they let it in hoping it would look exotic enough

>>214298948
>What is that blue background supposed to be?
your heads up that we bout to RIKER9 all up ins

>>214298948
Hard to say. There are other locations in the clip that also have these blue accents here and there albeit smaller. Maybe it's just their style. I doubt they would release unfinished blue screen effects.

>>214298800
>>214298932
It's my own personal immersion autism that can't accept these scenes are supposed to take place outside. I can buy the Ent-D's interior being a space ship no problem. But the fluorescent lighting and backgrounds kill these scenes for me.

>>214299046
That sucks anon, like a curse or something. A self-hex

WE GETTING TO OLD FOR THIS RUAFO......NOW BURN ALIVE FOR YOUR SINS
- Jean-Luc Picard

>>214299046
I like them because the controlled lighting will light the characters in a familiar way. I always find it distracting when they film in real locations and the daylight messes with the color palette of the uniforms.

>>214299085
Why the hell was Patrick Stewart so horny to become an action star?

Could he not pull enough pussy being the guy who played Picard?

>>214299133
Old man doesn't want to be reduced to a shakespearian sage, especially not in his midlife crisis. I understand Stewart.

>>214299133
He literally signed onto TNG because he thought it would be TOS 2.0 and he'd be punching aliens and kissing sexy women for three years. That's why season three ended with him potentially being written off for good.

>>214299133
Why not? he's a producer and he gets to do whatever he wants
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvFg4GZ5iVU

Is this the worst career decision ever?

>>214299289
Nah. Low stakes because she's already rich from her grandpa and she had a decent shot with Pet Semetary 2 and a few other things, she just fell short of the mark. But it was probably worth the attempt, especially considering they kept bringing her back as Selar later so she still gets the full convention grift.

>>214299289
Probably. At least the producers had some sympathy for her and brought her back a couple of times without assassinating the character. Not like Kes

>>214299289
She always rubbed me the wrong way. I was glad when she was gone. What's wrong with pushing buttons and haveing 2-3 lines to advance the plot and go home with 30k each week?

>>214299289
no.

>>214299372
LMAO

>>214298948
Insurrection has pretty bad effects for the most part
They couldn't get ILM so they went with a third party but they made all the ships look low res and gray blob looking

>>214299440
It's not so bad. I don't know what she really made back then.

>>214299570
some CGI effects are better than others but most are just urgh

>>214299344
We got Yesterday's Enterprise so her dumb decision was a net positive.

I argue Yar is more fondly remembered this way than if she would have stayed on and been a useless character they felt forced to do stuff with or been written off later

>>214297152
>>214297203
Star Trek in the far future is just WALL-E.

>>214299228
To be fair, that was supposed to be the role of the Riker character, but Patrick Stewart isn't Kirk material. Neither is Scott Backula, but they tried to write Archer like a Kirk and it did not work.

>>214300213
>they tried to write Archer like a Kirk
no they didn't.

>>214300213
Archer was interesting because it seemed like he was constantly forced into situations where he needed to act like Kirk and it slowly drove him mad.

>>214296318
Second Sight is okay, Broken Bow is watchable for obvious reasons. Ro can fuck right off so I’m not watching TNG.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM SHADOW PRESIDENT AND GRAND DUKE, DUKE, DUKE OF EARL, VIC MIGNOGNA:

Attention /trek/, we are at TREKCON 2. In addition to the Great DS9 Watchalong on Heroes and Icons at 2200 EDT/2100 CDT, we are on the penultimate episode of TNG. Prepare all agents for the Great TNG walk along Monday 2025-09-08/16 Rabi ul Awal, 1447 A.H. The interloper's PSYOPS campaign will intensify during this period, so prepare COINTEL measures. Our team of SPECOPS Goombas are staged and equipped with tactical gabagool. Have no fear. Trust in The Plan. Praise be to Heroes and Icons. Death to the opposition. When pizza's on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime.

>>214302354
I just don't understand why it has to be this way.

>>214302334
>Why?
Because you can stick your whole hand up a puppet's bottom and you won't get #MeToo'd. Kurtzman has needs. They must be fulfilled safely or he will become an unstoppable rape machine like Mike McMahan.

>>214302383
I think its this way because:
in the past, the goal was to create a good show lots of people watch so that you can sell ads during it and make money that way
the way it works today is:
you create a bunch of IP slop so people pay for your streaming service and you can sell ads because you have all the big IPs and just play them over literally any video at all and make money both ways. so it doesn't matter if the shows are terrible you already got all the money.

just my layman understanding of it all

>>214302057
Odd how the Fat Acceptance/Body Positivity movement disappeared as soon as Ozempic hit the market.
>>214302334
In the past, they would do episodes to show off their makeup and costume departments. Now they do episodes to trend on social media.

>>214302473
Global syndication was the infinite money glitch of the 1990s. If you could produce a show with a high episode count and sell it to a hundred different networks, that’s billions in passive income. Now with streaming, you only get one bite of the apple.

>>214302584
what's the logic behind making constant new shows that suck and that no one watches as opposed to an actual quality show that everyone wants to watch and spreads by word of mouth? that does still happen. and why are there only 8 episodes in a season now?

>>214302702
The Ferengi got greedier

>>214302473
>>214302584
One day some guy is going to figure out he can sell his show to multiple streaming services if there is enough demand and it'l be syndication all over again

>>214302762
and then some dude will figure out that you can just bundle the popular/new shows from streaming services and put them on the TV on something called "channels" and it will be cable again

>>214302702
> and why are there only 8 episodes in a season now?
CGI bottlenecks and the binge model. There are only a small handful of CGI studios, yet hundreds of shows and movies that require CGI effects. That means fewer episodes with longer production cycles. People are also more likely to stick with a mediocre season if it’s 8 episodes instead of 24.

they wrote archer as an idealist like picard who was forced to be a realist like kirk. i thought it was neat, even if scott was a little campy and wooden. it added to the charm for me desu, since TOS was also campy and wooden and this was a prequel

People like this >>214296029 were too dumb for Star Trek in 1966 and they're still too dumb for Star Trek.

And no matter how much it's generalized and lowered and debased, they still won't like it as much as Star Wars or capeshit or other sci-fi options which have more action and flashing lights to distract their slopbrains.
The smart move is to pander to your niche, the one that made your IP profitable in the first place, and then build an audience on top of it organically by actually making a good television show.

the difference being that "they're" is a widely used an accepted CONTRACTION and "unc" already exists as "uncle", which is short enough, and it only exists in the minority of uneducated communities. It's like how they started saying "ahh" instead of "ass" because they'd get whooped by their parents or punished at school if they said "ass", and then they carried that fear up into their 20's because they stopped mentally maturing at 13.

>>214295888

>>214304058
TikTok censors words like ‘ass’, ‘dick’, ‘kill’ and ‘suicide’. So now we have an epidemic of teens and adults talking like toddlers IRL.

Only in hindsight does it seem foolish. At the time nobody had high hopes for the show, least of which the franchise's own fans, and the production of season 1 was a disorganized clusterfuck that didn't show any immediate signs of improvement.

There's so many strange things in TOS. Like if this device exists, why even have Odo? Or Garak for that matter?

Yes, I know about gold-pressed latinum bro.
But it doesn't explain why a Federation criminal record would state one of Mudd's crimes being that he purchased a spaceship with counterfeit currency.

>>214304717
>But it doesn't explain why a Federation criminal record would state one of Mudd's crimes being that he purchased a spaceship with counterfeit currency.
So it was just worthless gold with fake latinum in it.

Nobody in the Federation would sell a ship for money and non-Federation dealers wouldn't fucking file charges with the Federation for them to keep on records for things that aren't their fucking problem.

what the fuck my post vanished

>>214304810
They have something akin to Interpol.

>>214304810
nobody had to file charges with the Federation for it to be a known fact that he committed that crime

>>214304810
How do non-Starfleet Federation citizens acquire ships for their own use?

>>214304875
with forged currency

>>214304875
Social contracts. It's a glorified system of bartering the things that can't be churned out of a replicator.

>>214304869

You've been living in the UK for too long.

What use would that be?
transportation? take a shuttle with the rest of the plebs?
some scientific endevour? need to convince Starfleet
fun/exploration? has to be from some shady ferengi

Through nepotism and connections you can acquire a basic runabout which is all the car you'll ever need

Probably not possible for a major sci-fi show in this day and age.

how did Cassidy Yates acquire her freighter?

>>214305250
Voyager did it with Alice. Apparently if the ship likes you enough it’ll take you, all it wants is your obedience

>>214305350
Why would you need a freighter in a post-scarcity economy with replicators everywhere?

>>214305403
to haul freight

>>214305350
Uhhhhh, Q gave it to her for shits and giggles?

>>214305350
She inherited it from her great-great-great-great grandfather, Travis's brother.

>>214305403
all of the shows have problems like these but only DS9 suffers for it because it takes itself too seriously

>>214305350
Sex with Yankee traders. Don’t tell Ben, he’ll be pissed

>>214305466
>it takes itself too seriously

>>214305403
To transport replicated goods to places that don't have replicators

DS9 insists upon itself

and that is why it is based

Based or cringe?

>>214305466
Move Along Home was great fun but they could only get away with it early on. The first season of any Trek show is where you get all the kooky experimental episodes.

>>214305507
Good point, Kasidy does smuggle cargo for the Maquis.

>>214305576
Do you have any sort of evidence for that claim?

Anyway DS9 is quite unserious actually and is the funniest trek if you ask me.

Mirror universe is hardly experimental if TOS and DS9 did it explicitly and TNG implied it or something similar

>>214305531
the dozen joke episodes make it worse. reminder quark could be turned into a woman and dukat a bajoran but ziyal could never fit in anywhere

>>214305603
Yes I do, it’s right over here by the transporter console…

>>214305650
was she actually caught smuggling? i thought that was a fake drop

>woman who believes in herself describes herself as selfish, vain and useless compared to what she would have been when she didn't believe in herself and wanted the man's approval
Really layered episode

>>214305403
Pretty sure Maquis colonies don’t have replicators.

>>214305686
It's experimental to have all of the protagonists in the episode be bad guys.

>>214306009
>bajoran rape baby
No, she wouldn't.

>>214306068
i hope youre only pretending to be retarded

>>214306111
???
Dukats entire family disowned him and he lost his job over her. how would she "fit in"?

Why didn’t Sarah Silverman tell us about this event in her life

>>214306064
Given the length of the occupation, there should’ve been multiple generations of halfie bastards all over the planet. Unless tje Bajoran revels made a point of killing them and their Bajoran parents.

>>214306202
That makes no sense. the occupation was of Bajor. anyone with a brain would have left their bastards over there. it's well explained that that isn't accepted on Cardie society.

>>214306111
No, I am really retarded.

>>214306349

What's your most controversial /trek/ opinion?
I'll start,
I think the Dominion War is boring as fuck and I'm always tempted to skip the final two seasons of DS9 whenever I re-watch it.

>>214306889
I don't think guinan fits the magical negro stereotype

>>214306889
Voyager is better than DS9

>>214307025
I get what you mean, to me she always felt more like a space gypsy, of the fortune-telling kind.

>>214307025
she doesn't but people who say she is are just talking out their ass.

>>214306889
Shorter seasons can be a good thing so they’re not recycling stock plotlines every third episode.

>>214307025
>she's as strong as a Q, Q fears her
>what, why, how?
>uh... because...!
>and she knew mark twain!
She often performs the deus ex machina role like the Borg episode. She is absolutely a magical negro, one of the best examples of the stereotype even.

>>214307244
>most of my people were taken by the borg, but the Q fear us
>refuses to elaborate
Based

>>214307356
>makes Naruto ninja handsigns at you, the omnipotent being, terrifying you

>>214307378
It is pretty bad, but somehow Whoopi sells it. I’m not sure how it does but she do

>>214307378
Behold! The father of Talk No Jutsu!

>>214307244
>she's as strong as a Q
This is never stated or shown to be the case, just that they've had run-ins. Q is much more powerful and more intelligent than any human, but Picard tends to bust him up at whatever game he's trying to play, so is Picard as strong as Q?
>Q fears her
This is not necessarily shown to be the case, just that they've had run-ins that weren't favorable for Q. He later tells his son not to agitate the borg, so it could be a similar deal where the continuum simply doesn't/aren't allowed to fuck around with her race as a matter of principal. It could be that she's foiled some of his plans before, and he can't do anything about due to the continuum keeping an eye on him, which is very in character.

What we do know is that her race is near extinction and has the ability to sense shifts in the timeline, so I think the continuum generally leaves them alone because A. they don't want to risk endangering them any more, and B. they're useful in some capacity as a sort of barometer in case the timeline gets fucked up and the Q have to deal with it.
>she knew mark twain!
So did the bridge crew? What's your point?
>She often performs the dues ex machina role like the Borg episode
What role did she play there? She basically just reiterated what Q already them about the borg, and what they observed in engineering

>>214307244
>She often performs the deus ex machina role like the Borg episode.
That is literally the only episode in which she displays magical powers

>>214307545
>That is a dangerous creature, Picard - Q
Dangerous how, exactly? She does nothing but break the 4th wall by knowing things she has no reason to know, with no explanation ever given.

You're flippin' and floppin' like a fish out of water doing mental gymnastics but she sucks as a character and is only on the show at all because she's Whoopie Goldberg and was a big movie star at the time the show was running. She basically just plays herself.

>>214307592
They’re not even really magical, she just gives Q the stink eye and he fucks off. Everything else here is true though, she has no place on Trek other than as an attempt to capitalize on her popularity at the time

>>214306889
I have everybody on Voyager crew except the Doctor
is that controversial?

>>214307594
>Dangerous how, exactly?
Are we really gonna pretend Q is a reliable narrator in this scenario

>>214307753
So why does he react that way at all to her? He's not his smug superior self at all. He flinches from her and shows genuine concern, a very un-Q like moment that is never followed up on.

>>214307594
>Dangerous how, exactly?
Q probably would have quoted Space 13/50 if he wanted to elaborate, but spooking Picard was of greater interest at the time.

>>214307780
Nta but my best guess is somehow their time sensitivity gives them some insight into Qs powers, specifically the limits thereof. Q doesn’t like that

I'm remembering that El Aurian on DS9 who was a total faggot and lowlife who just spent his time swindling people or whatever. What went wrong there?

>>214307871
I’m certain they wrote the character and the species in simply because she was a hot property at the time. No further thought was given

>>214307871
What about Sauron from Generations? crazy, violent, racist

>>214307780
Because he doesn't like her anon
