Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[Pork Packer]

Say whatever you want, but having Captain Kirk in space FOR REAL is really awesome and I'm glad I live in a time to actually see that happening. My little trekkie heart feels like yeah, there is a chance I might see space myself one day, why not? : )

The fact he went to space on a rocket literally shaped like a giant penis frankly made the whole experience so much more magical

I wouldn't expect less of Shatner, tbh. I love it.

I wanna watch "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and at 11 I read a nice chapter book about a Klingon getting into the training school and befriending a human classmate.

Should I find the episodes on YouTube?

You know what? I loved sliders growing up,
Rembrandt Brown is almost the exact opposite of Michael Burnham. From literally the very first episode, and onward, he was very clearly presented as the least likely person who should have ever had to deal with the shit that the show put him through... AND YET- He's the *only* main character who survived throughout the entire series. I do not believe that this neo faggot has ever seen even one episode of sliders.

*Literally* the only thing that Michael and Rembrandt have in common is that they're both black. It's already been said here (and I agree) Burnham is a charisma vacuum, and Rembrandt Brown is pretty much the exact opposite of that. How dare these faggy assholes continue to try to ruin good shows that I watched in the 90's and early 2000s.

I didn't watch Sliders when it was airing. Today it's great for that "90s B-list action flick" feel. Afternoon background noise, but mildly entertaining.

Q

Q Continuum

From what I've read, they're weaker in their home realm than in "3D space", and their home realm seems to be in a space between universes in the multiverse. And of course their home realm is incomprehensible, so to be perceivable it has to be represented with analogies. Like the desert roadhouse. That combined with their typical attitude seems to make it suck to be a Q, even with the magic "psionics" they use.

Also maybe their home realm in that "interdimensional space" is "next to" the far side of the Milky Way in "3D space", as all the supernovas seemed to be around there during that civil war?

They're not on YouTube, you'd have to torrent them.

I also once read one of the "Star Trek" graphic novels where a villain could not read into Spock's mind because he's also part human while Spock was calmly breaking him down while talking after taking a break from his honeymoon lol.

Yeah, the novels can get pretty nuts.

Ah, understood. Thanks.

IIRC most if not all TNG episodes are up on Dailymotion so you may wanna look there

the black girl and the green girl are extremely grating and over-the-top,

It's that god damn black girl and the green girl. The dialouge for both of them is some of the most cringe inducing shit I've ever heard. If you had the same show with the same sci-fi plot devices and it revloved around strong black female captian who's insecure because her ship is unimportant, grumpy cat doctor, giant old security man and dudebro first officer, it still wouldn't be great, but it'd be a perfectly watchable show of maybe the same quality as something like Solar Opposites. That's the weirdest thing about it, because you'd still have your strong black female protagonist to appeal to the sjw set, but the show would be watchable. I get that they were trying to do something different with the Lower Decks thing, but having a comedy sci-fi show based around the least important ship in Star Fleet would have been a unique enough concept to warrent an animated comedy. Instead they gave us black girl who's good at everything, but doesn't try because trying is lame and is obnoxiously vocal about it and green hipster space girl who is SUPER WACKY and needs to be liked.

I'm not neccesarily against Tendi's character in principle because, speaking from just what I've seen, people who have an obessessive desire to be liked by everyone around them are a huge fucking problem facing the current generation. I'm only slightly older than some of these people but I have seen some neurotic shit from people over not being liked that frightens me. Its not narcissism either, its like these people genuinely feel like they're terrible people if even one person doesn't like them, and its totally out of control.

The trouble is that Mariner is such a fucking brutish asscrack who doesn't let up for a second that when its Tendi who puts her foot down and says she's uncomfortable with the way Mariner's treating her, you're basically forced to side with her because Mariner is just that fucking awful that it overrides the "I hate all of these people and want to see them die" response. That's not how you write a TV show god damnit.

If you ask me, Tendi should be the arrogant one who needs to be liked by everyone who gets put in her place by situations she can't control, and Mariner just straight up shouldn't exist.

nOo!

What's up with that scene anyway? Did they get in a wormhole because broken warp engines?

And somehow destroying some asteroid got them out?

Yeah, the engines were "misaligned" (uh, okay) which caused the wormhole, and the asteroid was pulled in from... somewhere, I guess. I feel like Sulu could have avoided this situation by plotting a course away from any debris that could hit them if this exact thing happened.

Destroying the asteroid just happens at the exact moment the engines disengage and the ship slows down enough for the wormhole to vanish. At least that's what I gather from the dialogue.

Gonna need a few Johnson jokes here.

Either way that was a really wat scene.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

It was a really clumsy way to introduce the issue that Kirk is no longer really familiar with the Enterprise and his conflict with Captain "Kiddy-diddlin' " Decker.
Something happens, Kirk gives an order, Decker overrides him cause the action Kirk was planning to take would have ended rather badly.

 

[Flexo]

but in the earlier episode Lore pretty much told the entity that they were intelligent and that they'd need to pull a ruse so that the entity could eat the Enterprise crew.

Yes but Picard didn't know that.

I always imagined that the Borg used to be a humanoid species that was a bit too keen on the whole cyborg-transhumanism stuff, which escalated one way or the other into what we know and love as the Borg.

It literally involves time-traveling space elves.

Again, see here:

I froget that Decker is pretty much a pedophile at the end of Motion picture

 

[HarryHowler]

Yes but Picard didn't know that.

He might not have witnessed Lore briefing the entity on their plan, but Data and Dr. Crusher did (and so did Wesley, though he was mercifully long-gone by then). As soon as Picard came up with the idea of talking to the entity, one of them should have really taken him aside and explained that his theory that the entity didn't know it was eating sentient creatures simply wasn't correct, or at least was extremely unlikely to be the case.

I think if this happened 20 years ago, I'd be right there with you. Maybe I'm dead inside. But I think it's because of Clown World. So much absolutely batshit stuff has been happening that Shatner in Space doesn't seem that strange or unusual. In fact, it makes absolute sense to me. He absolutely deserved this opportunity.

Behold, the Discovery make-up of a cherished species.

Y'know, this only makes me fell better for not being angry at Lower Decks. I mean, the familiarity of the LCARS style and the preservation of TOS and TNG-era stuff puts me at ease. I mean, it's all empty fanwank, but at least I can get the occasional chuckle from, "Oh wow, they put them in there."

Holy fuck, what race is that supposed to be?

Looks like crossbred between ALF and Nukie
