Trust me, it looked fucking stupid when they tried.

Everyone flailing around while styrofoam rocks and sparks fly all over the place is better, okay?
Too bad they deleted it from Nemesis. I forgot they had the MACO guy from Enterprise and JAG in the scene.
 
You’re right about Nu Trek being shot in a coal mine, but Voyager might have committed that sin first. I swear to God that ship spent more time at red alert than at condition green.
Kate Mulgrew looks good in darker lighting.
I get the in-universe “resource conservation” excuse, but it’s not like they were ever actually running out of food or weapons. The lights going dark once an episode was just their way of duping the audience into thinking every plot was as high-stakes as “Yesterday’s Enterprise."
From WWII until about the 80's, real-life US Navy vessels - both surface and undersea - utilized red lights to try and preserve night vision, reduce glare, and reduce light emissions. I believe this was also done aboard planes and bombers. Nowadays, the US military uses dimmable white lights because a study in the mid-80's determined that red light actually sucks, but it's one of many features left in the series from Roddenberry's military service.

I find that the less militarized starfleet gets, the more obnoxious and goofy it becomes in both aesthetics and character behavior.

I swear to god, ENT was the last time a ST show remembered that these people are essentially a navy. They should act like it. You can have moments of levity and humor without turning into a fucking SNL sketch.

If red lights all over the place are the price to pay, so be it.
 
This weeks episode was actually decent for this season, but still had the issue where things just happen out of no where. Characters just come to conclusions or know things out of no where to advance the plot. Althought it felt possibly due to poor editing down for time.

As for Spock fucks, there was a hint they'd side quest into La'an and Kirk's history but it ended up being an acknowledgement and they thankfully did nothing with it.

The reveal at the end would have been better if it was done in a way to explore the concept. Instead of a, "by the way the villains were..."

While his character is still on a journey, it didn't sell me for the TOS remake with this Kirk. He is okay, but the guy who plays Pike is a much better captain.
 
The only guy who I think has gotten the vibe of Kirks character down (besides Shatner himself) was Vic from Continues.

Chris Pine was just... Chris Pine, and Paul Wesley doesn't do it for me. At least Pine looks like he could pass for a young Kirk, but SNW Kirk looks like a vegan middle school teacher. Zero Shatner in there.

The spic dyke asking, "Is this a personally massager?" is a pale imitation of Harry asking if a truck from the '30s was a hover car. Oh yeah, vibrators are canon in Star Trek. That's cool.

I feel like the stigma around sex toys is really lopsided in media.

Like, a female character having or referencing a vibrator is a tee hee lighthearted gag that comes and goes, but if a male character mentioned having a... fleshlight or something you know the show and characters would stop to make it abundantly clear that that's creepy as fuck and weird.

I'd rather see you guys talking about my greentexts and stroking my ego than talking about the canonization of vibrators in Nu-Trek.

>After sending the entire command staff into an ensign's futa catgirl holodeck jerk off session, was transferred to the Bellerophon.
>Way better assignment, Tellarite captain bans degen shit from holodeck so no worries about making the command staff into futa catgirl fuck slaves.
>Three weeks in get assigned to war games with the Zakdorn to stroke their egos.
>They claim to be geniuses but they lose their stupid finger game to anyone who trolls them.
>Their brilliant war game will have a few of us on a decommed Miranda that some how survived the Dominion war versus a freshly refitted Intrepid-class.
>Is literally a relic, only usable systems are the replicators, a couple of phasers, an old school holodeck.
>Andorian first officer is CO of Miranda-class ship and asked for suggestions for a name.
>Suggest Cunt Wrecker as a joke. Being the only Human I tell them it's an old Earth term that's hard to explain.
>Shit myself when everyone is cool with it.
>I'm now XO of the USS Cunt Wrecker.
>Andorian is super serious about winning this because fuck Tellarites, amiright? Asks us for ideas.
>Usual boring shit: Picard Maneuver, hiding in a nebula, dump hydrogen or whatever out of the nacelles.
>Not paying attention, thinking about the holodeck program I was playing last week: WNBA Dildo Toss.
>"Sir, what if we fill the bridge with dildos!?"
>Vulcan engineer raises an eyebrow at me and the Andorian CO glares at me and then bursts out laughing. "T'lau, make it happen!"
>Vulcan engineer sighs and gets to work on figuring out how to get through the Bellerophon shields.
>Six hours later we're listening to the Zakdorn going on and on about how smart he his and how the Bellerophon will win easily due to his brilliant mind.
>As soon as he says "begin" T'lau transports several tons of bright colored dildos into the bridge and engineering of the Bellerophon.
>Chaos unfolds on the Bellerophon as the Cunt Wrecker blasts away with our two phasers. We win in five minutes.
>The Zakdorn is furious that we didn't play his stupid game his way and that Starfleet Command will hear about this.
>Bolian chief engineer is beyond furious, our transporter was old and not accurate so dildos ended up in the intermix chamber. Warp core is literally fucked.
>Tellarite captain is pissed he lost to an Andorian, a Vulcan, and a "pink skin" as he calls me. Pretty sure that's some sort of slur but whatever.
>For weeks dildos would be found in the Jeffrey's tubes.
>When we get back on the Bellerophon there's a message from Deep Space 8 waiting for me...
>"Ah shit, here we go again..."
 
You know, I like the older bridge designs, but what is it with having the various flavors of steps on a fucking bridge? Like, don't they know people can and will fall to their deaths if the ship's slightly bumped? That said, Defiant > rest, regardless of the flaws the ship has in other departments.
Dude there were no seatbelts on the Ent-D or E.

Also uh, in the holodeck, was all the jizz dematerialized and used as energy in the replicator like used plates are? When Troi replicates a dodeca chocolate super sundae with extra cream and cherries, is she eating Broccoli's jizz that he emptied into a Deanna Troi head in a box earlier?
 
familiar design.gif


In Master of Orion 2, one of the ship sprites for the red "team color" looked rather familiar, so I made this ship design. Should've given it tractor beams if they're in the game though, and it doesn't run on anti-matter drive (which is in the game). Otherwise it's fairly close with all the stuff onboard. Like "Scout Lab" is onboard science lab.

(I used that [alt] + E I N S T E I N "cheat" to get all tech at the start of the game because no patience to wait to get all the techs necessary to get that ship otherwise.)
