star trek sex with shran

alright guys, watching TNG S3E2; "Ensigns of Command".

Wish me luck.

>>215134442
Not bad on your first watchthrough, but I skip this one a lot on repeats now.

Are we in agreement?

that feel when you skub out during the episode intro and you gotta rewind see what this about.

>>215134552
Neelix should be S tier.

>>215134552
Trade Chakotay with Tom
>muh space amerindians

>>215135023
fact: Kor is the best Klingon there ever was. there's a lot of that in TOS. the first to do it is still the best to do it.

tv used to be good and fun and stuff

You want me to hold the chicken?

Man wtf is with season 4 of Discovery? Does everyone have to have some gay tragic sob story? It's starting to grate me.

yum eeeee

>>215135826
>It's been a quarter century since either franchise was good

>>215135058
Based fellow John Colicos enjoyer. He was pure kino as Baltar too

>>215134557
skub sucks

>>215134552
I would move B'ellana up a bit though you're pretty close.

>>215135023
Organia episode is super based

>>215136869
I ate their vegan almond milk ice cream and it was very good.

>>215136501
Starting to grate you? STARTING TO? You're made of steelier stuff than I am. I finished season 4 and it was gay as shit but now I'm halfway through season 5 and I fucking hate Mollenlock. Mostly the woman though. It's like in seasons 4 and 5 they knew they had a giant Michelle Yeoh sized hole to fill. As bad and stupid as her character was, she had the most charisma on the cast.

>>215136501
Millennial writers mistake trauma dumping for good character writing. We were rolling our eyes at it 40 years ago when Tasha kept bringing up the rape gangs.

>>215135023
I like the hillbilly singer in that TNG episode. He should have stuck around and been buddies with Data.

Speculating that TV would die out about 50 years in the future of when this episode was produced was a pretty reasonable guess... but turns out it's still clinging on to life

>>215137231
Broadcast TV and radio will definitely be dead in 50 years. Once millennials and zoomers get in power, we’re gutting all this antiquated boomer technology.

>>215137329
Kek as if zoomers are smart enough to do anything productive. These things will exist as long as big pharma is allowed to continue funding it through constant advertising

I like Picard's absolute disdain for the unfrozen people. He treats like them like absolute cavemen befouling his ship.

>>215137329
broadcast tv has has had a resurgence in popularity for a while now. antennas are $10 and there is a fair amount of good channels with older content. pair with a streaming service or pirate box and you're set

>>215137329
50 years from now sure maybe, but TNG estimated only about 15 years from present

>>215137483
It's an example that should've been shown to writers of Picard as to why Picard didn't "love" Data. He definitely blamed Data for being the cave people on board.

>>215137511
star trek will be real during Vance's term.

>>215137483
The worst thing is that 2020s society is even dumber than the time period where the humans were frozen. The modern version of that episode would be a broccoli head asking what the ship’s WiFi password is so he could check his crypto wallet.

Ugh, can't you seethers get along? You get one bingo card for all three threads, making it that much easier for you to achieve bingo.

>>215138021
kys

I miss kino character actors like that guard in this episode that was also Billy's neighbor in Gremlins.

Sisko is a GIBMEDATS

so how do they know they're not in a causal loop where them being there at that time and attempting to interfere caused the Bell riots to take place the way they did and by doing nothing they'd actually be altering the timeline?

>>215135826
looks gay

>>215138207
he's in a lot of stuff, or was. the guest spots used to be a highlight to watch for

>>215138260
Because Sisko is just a wildcard and won't sit around and do nothing ever.

>>215138172
You seem awfully comfortable with discussing suicide. Projection, maybe? I have no desire to kms. I would miss all of you too much!

Which are you, /trek/? A gimme or a dim?

William Shatner did not generally get along with his Star Trek co-stars, with many finding him difficult to work with due to his ego and tendency to "pull focus". While he and Leonard Nimoy were at times at odds, they were also sometimes seen as friends. DeForest Kelley was a good friend of Shatner. However, actors like George Takei and Nichelle Nichols have openly criticized Shatner for years, with Takei calling him a "prima donna".

>>215138426
As one of the protected Peoples of the Book, I am a dimme

>>215138267
shut up welshy

>>215136793
holy shit I watched the og battlestar as a kid it never clicked for me its the same actor

Okay so the Defiant is shielded from timeline effects, sure I'll buy it. But why, when Sisko and Bashir changed the timeline, did they only notice the effects hours or days after their beamout, and not immediately? That makes no sense

>>215135023
for the love of god janeway even 20th century primitives had the Geneva Convention

>>215138676
because time travel stories never make sense unless you allow for a bit of 'time' lol between cause and effect

Jeri Ryan is in Against the Wild 2: Survive the Serengeti

>>215137577
Vance might win one term, but not two; after eight years voters get tired of the incumbent’s party and vote in the other side. His only asset is that 2030 reapportionment will be really good for Republicans.

>>215138886
she is also in dracula 2000 as one of his 3 brides

>>215138454
His ego is his lifeforce.

>>215138931
I don't think people will get tired of winning. Also, the Democrats may not even be a party much longer. Their constituents appear to be illegal immigrants, convicted criminals, and domestic terrorists. It's kind of baffling.

chakotay should've taken control of voyager and airlocked janeway

theres no time..except to make this speech

>>215135023
That ENT episode is nice little piece space horror. I like that the repair station is never explained, it just is.

>>215134078 (OP)
Lol at the pic. I'm only a fan of ToS so I'm out

>>215135023
fucking amazing lineup

>>215137483
It had more to do with the fact that this whole thing was sprung on him at the last minute right before a diplomatic meeting of galactic importance.

>>215140821
the lineups have been max comfy lately. we get some dry spells but lately its been good. tomorrow is ok too

Uhh I'm thinking based

>>215134552
there is only Janeway.

>>215137577
we already are in Star Trek

>'Tell Keiko, I love her'.
The clone replicant Manchurien-canddate Miles had a SOUL. If I directed that 'sode. I would've held that shot of his dead body. for like five whole minutes. Slowly panning out. And orchestral music building into a blaring swirl.

>>215134552
Tom haters love DISCO.

>>215142748
Shut that cunt's mouth before I fuckstart her head

I just watched In the Pale Moonlight 13 times in a row, and this is not a joke. AMA.

>>215141628
I love the Bell Riots two-parter so much.

>>215134078 (OP)
After finishing the next generation, do you guys recommend watching deep space nine even if I haven't seen the original series? Or is the original a pre-requisite?

>>215143604
Honestly, the only time TOS is relevant in DS9 is an episode that you probably know by osmosis. Trouble with Tribbles, which is spliced together with DS9 to create Trials and Tribble-ations.

>>215143613
Okay cool. I have tried with the original series but I just can't get into it. It's so formulaic and very obviously not meant to be binged.

I'm getting into Star Trek right now. Should I watch the series in complete sequential order before moving on to the next which is what I've been doing, or watch multiple series concurrently?

>>215143604
Never managed to watch more than the odd episode of TOS.
You need a bit of TNG for DS9, but that's about it.

>>215143613
and the mirror universe, which iirc is not in TNG at all

>>215143613
They have a whole ass episode of TOS Klingons trying to die honorably on DS9. It has a lot more than people realize.

why did last thread sage at 127 posts?

>>215138676
>But why, when Sisko and Bashir changed the timeline, did they only notice the effects hours or days after their beamout, and not immediately?
example?

>>215143958
It was Data themed. And with the recent upswing of AI. Which is a bad thing. Most Trekkie folks have become unsympathetic to his character. Either that. Or, the Bingo dweeb killed the vibe again.

>>215137924
I am going to have to agree with you. It is something to do with the feather in the hair and that outfit. I love the whole jacket + skirt combo.

>>215144241
Oh yeah, Clint Howard in DS9 another TOS callback.

>>215144250
The writers of DS9 loved TOS and worked in as much as they could, far more than TNG which was always trying to distance itself from TOS.
VOY didn't much care for TOS either if I recall and ENT preceded TOS.

>>215143834
>no 47s
Into the trash it goes!

>>215144278
>VOY didn't much care for TOS either if I recall
There was a callback here or there. From what I remember, Janeway fondly calls Kirk's crew a bunch of cowboys, and there's that episode where they travel back into Tuvok's memory of serving on the Excelsior

>>215144548
They were

Cowboys in space

>>215134078 (OP)
God, not another time-travel-to-the-sixties episode.

>>215134552
Harry Kim should be in the 'booted out of the airlock' tier.

>>215144548
>and there's that episode where they travel back into Tuvok's memory of serving on the Excelsior
fucking takei, i can't believe he didn't want to be on the enterprise with the rest of the gang. the whole excelsior thing felt really forced

>>215144589
They had all the sets and all the props for some reason, the sandy streets the rolling bush

>>215134552
I agree
now do this for tng and ds9

>>215141652
No evidence of that. Meanwhile, Biden pinched a little girl's nipple...IN PUBLIC.

>>215143958
Because, like most geezers, oldtrek seethers can't get it up.

>>215145336
I agree. The thread with the Trump image was like, 3 threads ago. It's not even remotely on-topic anymore.

>>215144111
That bingo card was the only one keeping the thread alive at the end. You have no gratitude at all.

The NuTrek retard with an axe to grind is literally killing these threads. /trek/! Lend me your energy! Together we can beat him hhHHHHNNNNGGGGGGGG-

>>215145527
Hi Bash. I've always considered you to be the Michael Burnham of /trek/. And just like how she always single-handedly saves the day. I believe that you will save us from that menace. Whoever they may be.

I know how he feels

>>215146476
Me on the left

>>215146641
First time I've actually said it myself.

>>215146476

they really were taking the whimsy out of Star Trek with these Movie Uniforms.

>>215146711
well its been said

>>215146476
Sweet dreams, this guy is going to be in the dark, watching you sleep.

>>215146725

How would Star Trek deal with wisdom teeth?
Just had mine out and it hurts :(

Is their opiates and opiods in the future?

>>215147249
why do you keep posting this weird shit, stop it

Captain Janeway stumbles upon a baby Yoda. Harry and Tom volunteer to take care of it, but they forget about time zones in space and so they feed the Baby Yoda some leola root stew after midnight and it becomes a Gremlin, wreaking havoc with the biomimetic gel packs until Tuvok kills it

nah gene probably just wanted more muted naval-looking uniforms like The Cage's bridge

I look like Bashir, but I act like O'Brien.

I look like Gerard Way but I act like Janeway.

you do not look like gerard way

I look like the Klingon restaurant owner but I act like Gul Dukat.

I look and act like Neelix

>>215147676
Just a massive blunder with the special effects on TMP. They hired a company that had only done tv commercial graphics, Abel and Associates. They paid them and let them work for months on the FX, then they asked to see what they had finished 9 months before the release of TMP in theaters, all Abel had finished was the wormhole sequence. They got fired and they had to pay Doug Trumball an insane amount of money to come in and save the movie.

>>215149041
it baffles me people don't shit on you more

How is that fella outside not asphyxiating and freezing? What is holding his drink to the cup and his food to the plate? Why does he seem unconcerned with the entire situation?

>>215149056
If I just wanna watch a 'sode. nine times out of ten I'm going VOY or TNG.

>>215149465
thats gary he's basically a god

>>215149145
TMP is kino but there's no denying that it was a disaster both in front of and behind the camera.
When you can tell they were rewriting the script as they were filming - that's pretty bad.

>>215149472
word

>>215149511
in I am spock, nimoy talks about how he and deforest kelly tried to throw in a bit of their usual banter just a tiny bit and they'd glace at the director and realize those bits were getting cut

>>215149841
Spock isn't a banter character.

>>215149941
you haven't watched TOS yes he is mccoy and him spar constantly

>>215149941
He his the target of banter. McCoy calls him a green-blooded soulless mongrel. And Spock banters back by slightly rolling his eyes.

>>215149941
heres one of countless examples, the usual pattern is mccoy tries to insult spock and spock turns it around and makes it a compliment, sometimes mccoy gets the upper hand like in amok time but usually spock wins

>>215149941
>Spock isn't a banter character.
fake TOS viewer alert

>>215149841
They keep a few of them
>McCOY: Spock, you haven't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.
>SPOCK: *eyebrow raise* Nor have you, Doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.
But otherwise everyone feels more stiff than they should

There's a whole playlist of McCoy and Spock bantering with each other on Youtube, pretty good compilation by this fella

i really like ds9 but sisko's acting is hilariously bad sometimes
been rewatching this week and i actually burst out laughing when he is arguing with Kira in the Maquis 2 parter

>>215146476
Patrician Trek choice comrade.

>>215151408
His cadence is remarkable, I'll grant you that.

>>215151436
i think that's what gets me
he sounds like he's reciting a high school play when he does that

>>215150265
>McCoy and Spock bantering with each other
One of my favorite parts of TOS, I have seen some episodes over 30 times and I still giggle at their bants

>>215151450
He's making boring dialogue interesting

>>215151408
bad acting to me is when it's unconvincing. Avery as Sisko is not unconvincing he's just doing something you don't usually see.

>>215151408
it isn't bad its unique one of a kind, no-one has ever managed to do what he does

>>215151408
To be fair even Patrick Stewart even had bad and overly stiff line reads. It makes you wonder why they didn't choose a better take. Shatner on the other hand was so over the top he totally owned whatever ham-tastic performance he put in that week.
Does anyone have the WEBMs of Kirk flailing around set? That's what I'm referring to.

>>215151499
The flails were impeccable.

>>215151080
They're not though. They have zero chemistry and their banter comes off as super tame and stale, like they've only known each other for a week.

>>215151696
this bashir and miles are bros ride or die, tom and harry are sterile and lame

>>215151480
Yeah, getting a reaction isn't a bad thing, and I think a lot of people are just accustomed to plain and flat dialogue. What Avery does as Sisko wouldn't be out of place on the theatre stage, and especially a lot of modern TV has lost something in having naturalistic dialogue while still using theatre style line delivery without emphasis.
>tldr Brooks is based

>>215151729
for me, it's miles barclay

>>215151729
Pairings like Miles/Bashir, Kirk/Spock, and Data/Geordi make perfect sense. They balance each other out. I think in all three shows they didn't even like each other at first but conflict forced them to work together.

>>215150427
This was so stupid I understood the why but the lesson is dumb in context to everything in and around when he ask for a chance and they say hes to timid the man is activaly trying at that moment and to assume that because someone is hesitant once will always be hesitant I mean fuck picard does behaves like that alot in show why is it a weakness now also for Riker to be the critic to point this out is retarded should've been a different character Janeway would've fit the situation better

>>215148237
From what I've heard they put together a task force to determine what life would be like in the future and based their design decisions off that. Some nut suggested that the future of fashion was disposable clothing, hence the boring looking jumpsuits with sewn-in shoes. I much prefer the TOS approach of just assuming whatever was cool in the present day would be common place in the future, which leads to military officers wearing Beatle Boots and tight-fitting pants.

>>215151932
Fashion is cyclical so the of-their-time wardrobes of old Trek doesn't even break my immersion. Whose to say 60's and 80's fashion won't be back in style when those shows take place?

>>215146394
>I got an ugly Morrigan, hey what up Jess
>I'd rather put my dick inside M'Ress

>>215152084
funny to think that these men fought in ww2

>>215152004
That's one of the reasons I think the visual design of TOS holds up so well. I guess the Pop Art colours and plastic chairs look dated and tacky to actual Boomers who can remember the 60's, but I when I was watching reruns as a kid, I'd never seen anything like that, it looked perfectly space-age to me.

YINZ LOOK CUTE I LIKE YINZ SUITS

>>215152198
what compels you to post such trash? after all these years why?

>>215152185
TOS is so dated visually that it wraps back around to being novel. It also helps that the directors understood staging and blocking so your eye is always following the characters.
TV shows now have such uninspired staging because the directors know you're glancing up at the screen from your phone every 30 seconds.

no I think its just the directors have no fucking clue what they are doing

Ah, I made it to STD 506. The episode where Tilly has to win a footrace. Totally not immersion breaking or anything. A fat whale could easily outrun a native. It's 56 fucking minutes long. This is saying a lot, but this piece of shit is high on the running for worst episode of STD.

>>215152639
that doesn't mean anything, you just can't stop being a total retard can you?

>>215152668
why the fuck are you watching that shit?

>>215152680
Only if Dear Leader wills it.

>>215152531
TOS has a level of sincerity that modern TV wouldn't go anywhere near: the bombastic orchestral soundtrack, the way the lighting will change to reflect the character's emotions, the over-the-top stage combat; stuff like that is what makes it peak television.

>>215152753
>the bombastic orchestral soundtrack
Bear McReary's BSG soundtrack can be rightfully treated as an opera on its own merits.
He even walks through the entire creative process meticulously on his site, by episode and by track.

>>215152725
so how your attempt to watch TOS going? you fucking waste of life

>>215152818
Bears a great dude and BSG is stellar but that doesn't answer the question

>>215152852
Doctor Spock's Gundam was lame and gay. And they let this guy be the Federation's expert on childrearing?

Keep your wits about you, /trek/, for today we are entering into some tough, lengthy negotiations.

>>215152753
Also the episode titles are so insane you can't wait to see what they're about. TNG onwards went for one word minimalism.

>>215152668
I wish I could find the review of that episode I say a couple years ago on youtube. It's by some woman who by all accounts looked like a social justice warrior - short dyed hair, beanie, tats, dressed like a highschool dropout - just absolutely reaming the episode for being comically shit because they had the landwhale decide to be the bait

alas, I cannot find that video anymore, either because it was taken down, or because youtube's search became such trash in the past 5 years that you can't even find a video by searching its exact name

>>215152944
thats TMP not TOS ffs BF you really are a useless waste of space

>>215152980
There's just too much to even get angry about. Every minute is stupider than the last minute. Oh now Tilly has an eye that can scan the walls where they're trapped. What??? Most of STD is just boring trash but this episode is infuriating

Did he bring order?

>>215152980
I will say one thing. It's pretty funny how shit they were at analyzing this culture. They whistle to talk, oh wow, they have 3 genders, how magical, they don't have any form of social hierarchy, wow they're so evolved. Then WHOOPS they happen to practice human sacrifice. Lol. Nice job miss Captain Xenoanthropologist.
Now Burnham just broke the prime directive. I'm on the home stretch after this one anyway.

>>215152967
I think somewhere along the way they got the idea that Trek titles are supposed to be "classy", so you get pretentious names like "Persistence of Vision" or "To Thine Own Self" that are often tangential to the plot, or even completely unrelated. It's even worse when they go with a Latin episode name.

The episode titles are pure space opera / pulp fiction: TNG kept it up for a little while: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Arsenal of Freedom", "The Last Outpost", but they eventually gave up. The episode names used to be memorable, as soon as I hear a TOS title, I know which one it is. As much as I love VOY, I'll see a title like "Caecillius est in Horto" and it's 15 minutes before I remember which one it is. And often, the episode doesn't have a guy named Caecillus or a garden in it.

>>215153250
"Equilibrium of Tangents"

>>215153250
TNG has "Measure of a Man", likely the most memorable episode title in all of trek.

>>215153240
TIME TO CUM

>>215153405
well no best of both worlds is the most famous, but then you have TOS eps that while not even great eps have iconic titles for instance For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky, I mean holy fuck that is a killer line

>>215151916
Tom/Harry could have worked, by the books nerd with reckless rule breaker is a classic combo

>>215153405
Yeah, sometimes they do hit upon a winner like "Best of Both Worlds", the TOS writers would have called it something like "Shanghai at Wolf 359".

Computer. Cardassian breast milk. Hot.

>>215153518
a cardy wold be ordering fish juice, hot

>>215153250
TNG tried to be high brow sci-fi but still had pulpy episodes once in a while. It's a good palette cleanser between all the diplomacy and ethical naval gazing. PIC tried to be prestige drama and took itself way too seriously.

>>215153484
well unfortunately braga is a faggot

>>215153484
The problem is that they want us to believe Tom is this reckless rulebreaker, but in reality he becomes a lame cuck who always does the right thing within like 10 episodes and then stays that way.

>>215152995
Useless waste of space: the useless waste of final frontier. These are the voyages of the useless waste of starship (You).

>>215153185
>Did he bring order?
no this guy did after you made it and he cooked it

>>215153771
>The one where Troi gets raped but it's okay actually

>>215153592
I think great Trek always walks that tightrope between the two, going back to the second pilot. You have all this character drama about Mitchell and this philosophical stuff about the unknown and the nature of humanity, but it all comes down to a fistfight on a desolate world, supposedly, the fight scene is what convinced the TV executives to give it a chance.

>>215153518
eeeeeew

>>215153784
that doesn't make any sense

>>215134552
no

>>215153931
Ok, based?

>>215153931
Actors should stay out of politics.

>>215153931
Taking an unelectable mentalist and installing him in a position of authority, from which he can only cause more damage, is peak Trek,

>>215153931
>Not one DS9 cast member on the poster
It was always the best.

>>215153931
AND THE FANS

>>215154109
such based actors who know how to stay in their fucking lane

>>215154080
Reagan blah blah blah shut the fuck up. Everything is politics and every movies is Stagecoach, that is fact and your crying won't help.

However, I'm lefty as fuck and Buttiegegedgee & Stacey "I've not won a single fucking thing to get all this money" Abrams are the worst fucking grifters on this side of things.

>>215153807
That happened at least three different times. I swear NuTrek girlboss shit is punishment for how old Trek treated women.
Also really brazen to start your second season with a forced impregnation storyline. Great show for the family.

>>215153771
alright I snorted you fucking funny clown

>>215155353
Starfleet fan club has a rank system like in the show, so these "admirals" think they're actually admirals and everyone in the room is their subordinate even if they're not part of the fan club. This gives them the delusion that they can command the con staff volunteers.

>>215155437
Lol, that’s too funny. Nerds.

>>215155398
well actors use to be professionals and not massive pussies

>>215155457
It was the only time in my convention career where I had to get into some 60+ year-old lady "Rear Admiral"'s face and use the "Don't presume your rank exceeds my authority" line to shut her the fuck up about barking orders to my staff.

>>215155437
Didn't they learn anything from Kirk?
The rank of admiral is the place they store people who they don't want commanding a star ship.
Its not something to be proud of.

>>215155723
Rank is a strange high.

>>215155723
It's so weird in STO when you're a Rear/Fleet Admiral and you larp as a Captain.

I have 146 threads hidden right now. Took me a little while to realize the zoomers here never talk about anything interesting and 97% of the posts are shill garbage. Anyway. Carry on, /trek/ time for a new thread innit?

It wasn't even worth the effort to, but watch them bring that back if Ahsoka S2 is a hit.
