Rate me autistic, but Trek really got me to be able to recognize people by voices because they would so often look different with the makeup that to this day I can hear an actor without looking at a screen and identify which series they were on.
So they very nearly did GalaxyQuest before GalaxyQuest, eh?
Not just in DS9, but also in that 1990s "non-canon" book "Worlds of the Federation" set in TNG era and written in the setting by Data.
Every once in a while, I remember and get unreasonably angry about the part where Scotty flies a shuttle up to the top secret shipyard where the top secret Section 31 warship is being built, then just goes right in, lands in the shuttlebay where he sticks out like a sore thumb with his uniform, and at no point does anyone ask if he's supposed to be there.
I've been ignoring post-JJ Trek since that new movie came out in 2009.
He’s caught immediately snooping around the USS Vomitclaw or whatever, and has to play even dumber than usual just to buy time to escape.
Beyond is the only Abrams Trek I feel sorry for. It really tried its best, but it was stuck with the house style of the previous movies, so it had to have convoluted reasons for a motorcycle chase and a dumb, bland villain. It probably would have done okay if it wasn't paying the consequences of Into Darkness, which is a garbage movie.
That would be pretty funny, actually. Get the nerds from Galaxy Quest and they speak in complete technobabble... which I suppose is standard Voyager writing. Janeway sure gets stuck having to say some pretty convoluted words a lot.
I love how VOY handles Q as a concept. He's not a space demon beckoning humanity toward their luciferian apotheosis like he is in TnG (which is pretty implicitly a veneer of scientism overlaying an occult worldview).
If there’s one thing I’ll hand to VOY it’s that you could take half those two-parters and have a feature film. Borg Heist Film! Casablanca… in space! Way better than those feature films they actually made.
Wasn’t gonna happen. You couldn’t escape the marketing. EXCLUSIVE: Jeri Ryan's hooters in tight spandex plastered on every magazine rack.
I read that as Klinger and was like "His Son started dressing like a woman to get out of the Dominion War?"
Eh, it doesn't always work. Remember the one with the ghost lawyer in a muumuu?
Starting to see where the Holodeck malfunction episodes came from.and that's how there is...
the ancient Rome but modern planet
the Nazi planet
Didn't Species 8472 do that in an episode of Voyager?
The best part was that it happened because B'Elanna tampered with the program to teach the Doctor a lesson about "real life".
I was quite surprised when they made the first three part episode. I think the one with Frank Langella and Richard Beymer. That was really a taste of things to come for ds9. Too bad neither of those guys came back.
Bajoran politics as a whole were boring that petered out by The Circle. They start off at practically zero and have to worry about the agricultural concerns of some continent that we never see (and would be disappointing if we did) and if it weren't for the Emissary actually going to talk to the Prophets, they'd be stuck trying to divine their intentions via orbs. Poorly since they were willing to go back to the caste system because some guy told them to and the Prophets don't care one way or the other.
