Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[Captain Syrup]

Roddy felt that the Feds should be above that kind of behavor

TOS is set after the Earth-Romulan war, so "no wars” feels less like a moral stance and more like classic Roddenberry bullshit.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Really it worked out for the best as I thought the weakest part of DS9 was the all the war shit they put in to keep the modern audience interested.

Yeah man, Deep Space Nine really could’ve used a little mascot. Like where’s their Porthos? Where’s their Spot? Just give Odo a Targ to raise, let it sleep in Quark’s bar and gore Bashir in the butt with its horn.

That boar apparently pissed on the bridge and stunk up the place even worse than Marina Sirtis' acting.

what about a cute vietnamese pot belly pig with space stuff glued to it like the space dog in TOS

Given that they had access to all the props from the movies, one wonders why they didn't just use a proper targ like Commander Kruge's?

Klingons have a few junkyard dog–style pets in the movies, none of which are explicitly called "Targs". Eventually someone at Paramount was like, “okay it’s the pig one ".

Are you forgetting about Morn?

 

[Dr. Sexbot]

Are you forgetting about Morn?

I think Morn was pretty clear how he felt about being the bar's mascot. If he was so damn mad about being the token mudskipper, he should have said something sooner rather than go on that rant.

So apparently the first season of that academy series has finished filming and will be released either in 2025 or 2026. Aside from several of the more annoying STD cast being involved, guess who else they managed to rope into the main cast?

Wait for it....

Robert picardo is reprising his role as the doctor, as an instructor at the academy. The at this point in the timeline 900 year old doctor. No doubt he was added to try to bait people into thinking it might be half decent because they threw a voyager character in, instead of realizing it reeks of desperation and an attempt to hide the fact that its going to be more STD tier garbage

Its almost impressive how utter shit they have managed to make this series already and it isn't even released yet. and they're already working on season 2 apparently

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

I wonder what would happen if I wrote an amateur screenplay/pitch and sent it to Paramount?

It would go into the trash, no actual human with knowledge about the issue would read it. paramount is a corporation like any other. That means: women and poojeets in HR, absurd credentialism, nepotism and rampant incompetence everywhere.

Not only that, but you require industry representation to send stuff. If you send an unsolicited teleplay, it goes right into the trash. So many people send in so much stuff that it opens studios up to legal liability if they even peek at it.

Besides the legal issue and to their credit: 99.99% of what fans send in is shit anyway. It's the same with fanfiction; the overwhelming majority of it is utter shit.

iirc during the 90s they actually did have an open submission policy
it comes up in Trekkies

That's how Ron D. Moore got started writing for TNG.

They had to institute a special rule just against Kirk/Spock and all the other "slash" ships, probably the origin of that term for gay fanfics.

Picardo’s a hack. Always has been. A solid, dependable hack, but a hack all the same.

OPEN SUBMISSION - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Written by: Captain Syrup

TEASER:

INT. SICKBAY – DAY

CHRISTINE CHAPEL, our brilliant and unflappably cool nurse, is hunched over a tricorder. But something’s different… her Starfleet uniform pants are dangerously tight. The seams groan.

CHAPEL
(cheerful, slightly winded)
I don’t remember the replicator fries being this good.

She bends to pick up a dropped hypospray. A BWOMP sound is heard — her backside knocks over a medical cart. CUT TO BLACK.

TITLE SEQUENCE

ACT ONE:

INT. ENTERPRISE – MESS HALL

Chapel is in line at the replicator, again. Uhura gives her a side-eye.

UHURA
That's your third "Truffle Mac & Cheese Nebula Bowl" today.

CHAPEL
I'm running experiments. On myself. For... gut biome. Leave it alone.

CUT TO:

INT. TURBOLIFT

Chapel tries to enter the turbolift, but — THWUMP — her now vastly exaggerated posterior wedges itself in the doorway.

SPOCK
(curiously)
Fascinating. Have you altered your center of mass?

CHAPEL
(grunting)
Can you not log this in my personnel file, Spock?

The lift doors won’t close. Alarms blare. A RED ALERT activates, misinterpreting her wedged butt as a hostile lifeform.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

You wound me, sir. What did I do to earn your contempt?

 

[Clown College 2nd Year]

That's how Ron D. Moore got started writing for TNG.

Didn't Bryan Fuller get a couple of episodes that way too?

Given that they had access to all the props from the movies, one wonders why they didn't just use a proper targ like Commander Kruge's?

Kruge's targ had its internals hacked up and destroyed for the scene where he has to hold its corpse after the Enterprise attacks. Even if it hadn't been wrecked, by the time of TNG, that foam rubber cast would have been too fragile to use, and it's unlikely the moulds would still be around.

he should have said something sooner rather than go on that rant.

I liked the fact that you could see it continuing in the background of three consecutive episodes, which meant he must have been ranting constantly for almost a month straight. Talk about mad.
