I hate this hellhole timeline so much... I just want a story about diplomacy, discovery, war, and the high stakes that are involved in the second half of DS9. What will we get? Teenage drama and faggotry.

I will go so far as to say that I wouldn’t actually mind a romance story with the Dominion War or something as the background. If it was well written and interesting I’d read it. However this will just be slop, poorly written and drawn slop at that.
I finally got around to watching the Voyager pilot. I was genuinely really enjoying it until the exact moment Neelix showed up, and his wet, lip smacking greasy voice grossed me out so much I stopped watching it.

I know that was a pretty autistic response but does the character get less off putting? I can't watch this guy act
If anything he gets worse? After a while he looses his status as the local guide and just becomes comic relief chef guy. The chef in Enterprise had a far better role.

I was nine years old and the second that unwashed foreskin popped up on the viewcreen I was like "alright, pack it up, the show's dead." We've seen this shit a million times on TNG. Some greasy comedy alien with one joke and they stretch it out.

And it's such a waste because Ethan Phillips is actually a good actor. They literally only let him talk to children or Kes. But I repeat myself OOHHHHH. 1000142924.png
 
Watching The Motion Picture right now.

God damn what a cool looking movie. The atmosphere is great and everyone that says it's boring is a low IQ mong with an attention span brain rotten from Tiktok and short form content. The effects are awesome. When Vger is zapping around the bridge scanning everyone, the lighting is so cool. Remember when movies looked like movies and not just a long TV show?

I wonder if the Indian wearing a full feather headdress ever took the scalp of the Klingons he killed.

Back when the film was first released, at least one review called it "The Motionless Picture", but I still like it. Ending is sorta wat though. 2nd movie was less enjoyable.

It's likely the directors cut you're watching, which was completely re-edited. The original theatrical cut is almost unwatchable, with noticable pauses where the actors just stare at each other after every single line of dialogue. No exaggeration. Removing all that dead screen time cut about 10 minutes from the film and makes it much better.
 

There was a really good Neelix episode called Mortal Coil where Neelix realizes that his religion is bullshit and he'll never see his dead family again. While the story is genuinely good, there's a howler where

Neelix is about to commit suicide by beaming himself into space, and Chakotay brings Naomi Wildman into the transporter room, gambling that no one's going to kill himself in front of an adowwable child, and then Neelix pushes the button anyway.

This is after

Chakotay gives him a "therapeutic" vision machine to help him cope with his experience. Neelix turns it on and has a vision of his sister turning into a corpse after telling him that there's no hope and he should be dead. He has a horrified expression when he turns it off and runs out of the room, which leaves Chakotay only mildly concerned.

Gold!

The theatrical cut is not as bad as many people remember, although the directors cut absolutely improved the film. It fixed real pacing issues, not just cleaning up the endless scenes of Decker and Ilia longingly staring at each other after each line.

However, I wonder how much of the common perception of TMP's slowness comes down to how many people first saw it when they were children or teenagers.

I remember being a kid and thinking it was absolutely glacial. But rewatching the theatrical cut as an adult (after not having watched it in like a decade) I was surprised at how well the story actually moves along, even accounting for those issues later fixed in the directors cut. Stuff consistently happens, it's just that you have to be mature enough to appreciate a lot of it.

Star Trek: We've Given Up Even Trying Season 42 Episode 14 - "The Hook Up": Kaylee from Firefly tends to Aquaman's wounds after he defended Atlantis from the Borg. Neelix and Guinan compete to see who is the best mixologist in the Omega quadrant. Mayweather can't help it anymore and tells a story about growing up on a freighter leading Capt. Archer to give him ten lashes.

The seventh Star Trek motion picture. Sam Kirk wakes up in a body bag after being stung by the world's angriest Fruit by the Foot and rips it open with a Daqtagh. Head trauma, plus the parasite gave him foreign accent syndrome. He talks like a Serbio-Croatian warlord who wants dolphin slaves. He shows up on the viewcreen and the MACOs are like, "Who the hell is this prick?" And Starfleet Command is like, "That's clearly Jim Kirk on a bender." Even after sentient Jell-O death, Sam is banging the side-piece of a sleazy freighter captain. The man literally cannot stop winning.

He’s amassing a dolphin army with the Cetecean Ops black budget. You need 101 dolphin navigators synchronized to punch a permanent hole through space-time. The parasite showed him the coordinates while it was twerking on him. James T. tries to talk him down. It's like Neil Breen fighting his own twin. And Sam fires back: "Death is relative... when you have... dolphin math." Rosalind Allen comes at Jim Kirk while twirling fish hooks like nunchucks before tripping over an overflowing bucket of chum. Both hooks go flying, one lands in the ceiling, the other merks a redshirt. Captain Kirk just smirks and straightens his shirt. "My brother likes his women with a side of plankton."

The magic navy dolphins start clicking in unison but not for the rift; for revenge. One of them blasts Sam with a high-pressure water jet right to the face, knocks the dictator hat right off. Jim hits him with the moral speech while Sam’s mustache is dripping: “You used these noble creatures for war... but they chose freedom.”

It's really sad that we can make better episodes of Star Trek by making joke descriptions of fake episodes and movies based on tv shows that star Star Trek actors than Kurtzman could ever dream of. Paramount, hire us to write your Star Trek series and I can guarantee that our show will get more viewers than any Kurtzman Trek show. Here's my idea for the female Starfleet uniform:

And NO FATTIES.
