Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[Captain Syrup]

It’s one of those gimmick premises (Trill civil war) that basically throws out ST's philosophical framework just to juice a paperback, which of course lands flat with a subsection of readers. Not that Trek tie-ins are alone in doing this...

 

[Uncle Buck]

>all those insane events like 90% of Trill symbionts getting killed and the Great Link dissolving a few months after the end of DS9
What kind of hack writers were they hiring to write these novels?

To be fair, David Mack was a huge contributor to all of that, and we've learned since what a tremendous faggot David Mack is.

Geez, remember when Dark Empire was the worst we had of Star wars.

The JJ had to take it, put a chick in it and make it gay and lame.

no because Ewoks shit existed

Maybe transporters in Star Trek somehow don't violate that "spatial tracking identity" thing, since that "form tracking identity" clearly doesn't work? It's clearly shown in the "Realm of Fear" episode that the transporter doesn't destroy the person and merely constructs a duplicate at the other end, as we can see from that Broccoli Barclay POV.

Lol, he's the one behind the Andorian gender crisis. Of course he went to bat for Rick.

Interestingly enough, he came up with the seed of the story that became the Nog PTSD episode, though he admits Ronald D. Moore was the one who transformed it into what we saw on DS9. So at some point he did have some good ideas.

Even a broken cock can fuck once a day, or something.

F*****g mind melds.

Oh I'll fight you over the Ewok movies.

Ok they are at least a lateral move from Dark Empire. Equally as good/bad.

I'd still rather enjoy either than the sequel trilogy.

AND the cartoons!

 

[teriyakiburns]

AND the cartoons!

And the Droids cartoon as well. Droids was kino. Way better backstory for R2 and 3PO than we got in the prequels.

Yeah the theory is they don't copy you, they convert you into energy and then beam that energy somewhere and rematerializes it. I imagine since the energy that contained your consciousness is still the same that was beamed down that's why you're basically still the same person and not a clone.

Why do they pack these consoles with C4?

Why do they pack these consoles with C4?

if you don't actively cull the population they live to be a thousand like McCoy

It's the Pakled workers with temporary worker visas that Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards have hired to replace native born Federation citizens. They aren't planting explosives in the consoles, they're just that shit at their jobs that the consoles explode if you look at them wrong and the substandard parts used in ship building.

I don't know why, but now I'm picturing a Pakled workers' union.

They're striking for more pay, after the replicator by the main exit on level six was repaired and stopped dispensing an archaic laundromat token every time a pakled walked past.
