Attention Iraqi Insurgents

Due to your repeated roadside bombings, we will be executing every other military aged male until you learn to be civilized.

It always bugged me how quickly Picard would give up his crewmembers to the demands of crazy governments on flimsy charges. "Yes we must be supremely differential to other cultures and their differences but never ask them to respect our own"

You must take up the Human Man's Burden, you see.

Cobalt-salt the earth. Constantly bomb everything for 50 years, no ground troops, no occupation. When it's all over, turn the rubble into a massive parking lot.

Realistically a sustained air campaign of that magnitude would be an absolute money pit, turning us into a global pariah for diminishing returns.

Nukes are obviously off the table because irradiating the gulf and setting oil infrastructure on fire is bad for business.

Granted I only ever watched a few episodes, and that was on a 22" analogue TV back when it originally aired, but I'd always assumed it was just a trained Dolphin actor that they drugged up or something to work with. But no, looking it up, it's was an animatronic puppet created by VFX guy Walt Conti, who also worked on Star Trek IV (it all comes back to Trek).

Realistically, I don't care. Bombs away!

The idea of producers buying and drugging a dolphin for the sake of a third rate Star Trek ripoff, and then putting him in the opening credits... I don't know if that or the robot is more insulting to the two actors who go after him.

it's too bad Bojack Horseman exists, a drugged-up lecherous former star dolphin would be dimes for a show concept

Speaking of things that it is too late for, any of you watch Firefly?

I've never seen that one either, but I hear nothing but good things.

then you talk to kissless virgins who never saw Outlaw Star
Firefly is Outlaw Star but gay and whedon

So many things to watch... so little time.

Captain Syrup said:
I've heard that before. I've never seen Outlaw Star, though. Hard to tell if it's an actual rip-off or just a Whedon circle jerk. Probably both.

We used to have our own good ideas, now we just steal from others.

TV is primarily trash. From the 60s, the 80s, doesn't matter.



The internet just makes it obvious, I reckon. You see the exact plot from eight years previous. Some of these hacks are literally ripping off their own mid-tier shows from way back when.

I'm more than 1.5 seasons into Farscape. I like it a lot, thanks for the suggestion, all.
It only took me halfway through season 1 to realize this was shot in Australia with mostly Australian actors, :lol:

Must have been hard to film everything upside-down.

Good show... The Henson crew blows any CGI out of the water IMO

Ever watch the Dark Crystal show? Great use of puppetry, and Lorca got to voice the main villain.

In hindsight it’s retarded they gave Nog that much shit for joining Starfleet. Data and Worf are just walking around the Enterprise, some half-Romulan started a Red scare and Picard had to do a whole courtroom speech to shut that shit down.

Meanwhile, Voyager welcomes Starfleet's first Borg crewmember.

they also made his satellite ears useful, with Nog acting as a scout.

My favorite use of that was in "For the Uniform", when Nog helped relay information to the Defiant's bridge after communications were crippled by Eddington.

Kim meanwhile is stuck completely cut off from Star fleet and in a position where he's both needed and can't easily be rotated out. Makes complete sense he doesn't advance.

Not true. He eventually became Captain of the night shift. He just has to wake mommy up if there's a problem.

I know it's maybe better to keep things mysterious about the period, but I'd like to see a spin off about the post atomic horror, maybe that intermediate period after first contact where shit was mostly still fucked, but also being rebuilt

I would kill to see how the Vulcans explained what they saw to the High Council.
Hey Johnny Bravo said:
Janeway promoted people based on whims and the writers had no clue what they were doing. Nog served during wartime when lots of officers died, so his trajectory makes sense.

He's also smarter than most cadets (just ask Red Squad), and because he lived on DS9 for years, it makes sense he'd be assigned there.
Mr. Racewar1488 said:
A series about the Vulcans working with the US to fix the planet and form United Earth would be cheap to make with little to no special effects and location shooting wherever they're filming. Enterprise would have made more sense if Starfleet wasn't founded yet and it was a joint United Earth military and science mission with a Vulcan scientist or military officer. Maybe make them a Romulan agent to lead into the Romulan War in season 3. Draw inspiration from SG1 where you have a CO who doesn't know shit about science. Then you can spend a season or two going into how the Federation was founded and expanding the lore of the original members.

You could even have T'Pol's grandma appear as one of the Vulcans assigned to watch.

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.

I have seen Outlaw Star, and I'm not sure what kind of CRACK the people who think Firefly is stolen from it are on. If anything, Firefly is way closer to Cowboy BeBop. Outlaw Star has aliens and space magic. The main character fires magic bullets from his gun that perform a magic spell and totally fuck whoever they hit, which it great for killing space wizards. The ships engage in melee combat. The unhinged narrator is the same guy who played Jet Black from Cowboy BeBop. It's incredibly kino. Nothing about it is that similar to Firefly though.

Firefly/Outlaw Star comparers, explain yourselves.
