Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[Captain Syrup]

They're on season 21 now. Don Orville from 3rd Rock beams in. 3rd Rock and Star Trek share continuity. Q takes over Section 31 because why the fuck not. Terrorist waifu Kira Nerys gets sentenced to the New Zealand Penal Settlement. Kira's dragged off screaming while Q just laughs and turns her earring into a spinning bowtie.

ChrisChan was right, the Dimensional Merge is happening but only in science fiction. My source in the White House, the real QAnon, tells me that Berman and Braga got their hands on the Stargate in Antarctica and have been misusing it. This explains this Kurtzman Trek I've heard about in the alternate Earth. Instead of that we have TNG season 36 premiering next month staring Hilary Duff as the captain.

Star Trek the Motion picture premiered 10 years after TOS

In a better world we could have had Voyager the motion picture, DS9 the motion picture a decade and a half ago.

Figured some of you autists would want these trek fonts that I also just found.

4 words:
Psychic Space Sex Vampires. The first season was great and then went downhill until hitting bottom in season 5.

This might be an Unscheduled Off World Activation but SG1 did "humans bumbling about the galaxy for the first time since the Ancients" better than Enterprise. If you disagree I'm not opening the iris for you.

I still think the first season is worth digging up and watching if you're in the specific mood.

Season 2: Do not proceed.

The guy playing the rebel leader is David Hemblen, another one of those perennially bumming-around Toronto actors. He was one of the bank robbers in Short Circuit 2.

If you look him up, the first result is the most shameless, half-assed Darth Vader ripoff: Lord Dread in Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.

Yep. You both speak truth.

And you can watch season 1 here.

There's a little bit something interesting in S2 but it goes off the rails pretty fast. The last season has some prime aged cheese if anyone here is like RLM and enjoys that kind of trash.

The only reason season 5 is remotely watchable is Agent Sandoval. At a certain point his actor saw what was happening and decided to chew the scenery. It had an ending point with season 4 and they just decided to run off the end of runway.

I wish we got to see a proper run of the show as it was originally envisioned. Reminds me of SeaQuest in that season 1 was great, 2 was falling off the rails, and season 3 is some of the worst tv ever made. When Micheal Ironside can't save your show you really fucked up.

Season 5 it was like they knew the show was going to end so it was a race with the actors to see who could chew the most scenery and save the crew time and effort in striking the sets.

They lost Roy Scheider, they lost the dolphin, then they just started losing everybody.

Rosalind Allen, the guy who played Ortiz... You can survive one or two cast changes, barely, but not when it looks like everyone walked out.



it's actually impossible to find any promotional image or DVD cover for Season 3 that doesn't have Roy Scheider's face. He has a cameo in the first episode of season 3, then two or three guest spots after that. They paid for that face, they were gonna use it!

Goddamn this unlocked some deep memory for me, I remember catching episodes of this on Sci-Fi from time to time but they were always out order. Seemed like a neat show from what I saw.

You never know, there might be hope. No one thought the Deadwood movie would happen but then it did.

Instead we got a bunch of a TNG movies that were not like TNG at all.

 

[Sayer of the N-Word]

I give up on Farscape. It just gets worse and worse.

Zhaan bought the farm. The show was never the same after that. Even if they had let Virginia keep her hair, she was still getting poisoned by the makeup. Tragic.



They clone John, one John's on Moya with the the actual characters, the other fucks off with Talyn, Stark, Crais, and the rest of the garbage I don't care about. Crais and Stark, two retards trying to get in Aeryn's pants like in There's Something About Mary. This is exactly the kind of thing we used to clown on Voyager for doing in a single episode and then never mentioning again. And now… I’m starting to come around to Rick Berman’s philosophy.

Instead we got a bunch of a TNG movies that were not like TNG at all.

The movies are appalling. Berman trying to shoot big-screen movies on a television budget like the cheap Jew that he is.

And nothing really happens! They keep bringing Spiner's wrinkly ass back with the dumbest hand-wavy excuses. Leonard Nimoy he ain’t.

 

[Sayer of the N-Word]

The episode that made me quit was the one where there's a sphere that clones a caveman and a super evolved version of John, and the exact moment was Chiana saying that she hid the caveman because she thinks he has a good soul or something. Absolute nonsense.

S1 had some real duffers. Not even the memorably bad kind, just straight up extracting cum from Star Trek's cold body.



Caveman John and Brain-Outside-His-Skull John is some serious Brannon Braga baloney.



Let's deliberately make the characters dumber!



"Scratch ‘n’ Sniff" in season three is literally a Risa episode, but it was so shitty, the writers had to drag Ben Browder back in to film additional scenes. Otherwise it might as well have just been dead air.

Is that even a compliment to Star Trek? Like “We’re out of money and creativity so we’re gonna copy you"? Trek invented all this lazy shit.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

saw this in somebody's windshield at publix
edit hahaha holy shit apparently Marshall Islands made stamps of this

this is my new favorite retarded thing

 

[CervixHammer]

The Original Series fight music kicked so much ass.

Insert it into the Feyd-Rautha fight scenes in Dune part 2 for marvelous results.

it's actually impossible to find any promotional image or DVD cover for Season 3 that doesn't have Roy Scheider's face. He has a cameo in the first episode of season 3, then two or three guest spots after that. They paid for that face, they were gonna use it!

Season 2 cliffhanger: aliens abduct the submarine!
Season 3: the submarine's back 10 years later. aliens? what aliens?

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

additional trek cat stuff

SeaQuest also had:

Poseidon!



Medusa!



Ghosts!



Tits!



Genetically modified humans! The big fat dumb one is Dom Deluise's kid.





Who else was on SeaQuest? Rosalind Allen. She was also in “The Outrageous Okona.” Two planets are about to go to war because they think she is getting railed by that space pirate. I actually had to look that up. That episode is not worth retaining.

 

[Flexo]

Just did a search of the thread, didn't notice any mention of the time Star Trek did "very short treks" 2 years ago for the 50th anniversary of the animated series.

Halfway through now. Seems hit or miss.

Believe me, I get the "yes and" style of collaboration and all, I'm not necessarily against that....

But sometimes these kids really do need a "no" followed by "do it again, but better."

 

[Fatsuit Shinji]

Even when militarily defeated they pulled a Jap maneuver and decided to turtle up and make the price of breaking them so high their enemies wouldn't be able to pay it rather than come to terms. Finally - just like with the Japs - their enemies were like fuck this you crazy fuckers all have to go for the sake of humanoidkind. And once they were threatened with their own shoah then they suddenly become reasonable and amenable to peace.

Except the Dominion being bottled up in that system would've left them with the resources to build a larger fleet and the Jem'Hadar within a decade. Which will have been more numerically capable of over running and crushing the Federation, Klingon and Romulan empires. There was no choice but to end the war there no matter what.

I think that is not practical. They are bottled up inside a single solar system at the end. If Cardassia prime had enough resources to (own its own) outproduce the shipbuilding of the Federation and Klingons and Romulans, they would not have got buck broke in back to back wars against the Federation and then Klingons. You can maybe handwave some of that away with superior Dominion tech, but it's not magic. They are still resource bound like everyone else. Yes they would rebuild their fleet and it would be even more painful to conquer the longer it went on, but there's no way in hell they could use the resources of a single world to produce more ships than the ~150-200 worlds the Fed/Klingon/Romulans were producing in total war mode.
