I don't remember the show ever implying that Terrans were maniacs who would kill a small child for being blind. I mean, it isn't like Nazis killed disabled Aryan children. They'd probably want to give a blind human kid some laser-eyes that would be too dangerous for a normal human.

Of course if you were some sort of crippled alien they probably don't give a fuck.

Have no clue who this guy is but I feel like I'd have to be 50+ to know.

>Michelle Yeoh is completely wasted on this show
That's because STD itself is a complete waste (and not actual Star Trek).

Dyke engineer doesn't have enough material to be a regular. Should be sparse. Also mike and tilly might be usable if they weren't the entire focus of the show. The entire concept of main-character-trek is the failure.

I want to be mad about this statement but you're kinda right. You might recognize the lynd's voice though.

Fuck off, attention whore

I had a dream a few nights ago that I was on a star ship in the Trek universe, and a Vulcan girl wanted to fuck me. She said that I was the only logical choice, but after kissing for a little bit Odo ran into my room. Except it wasn't really Odo, it was like some weird combination of regular Odo, fucked up Odo (when Garak tortured him), and Curzon Odo. He told us that the Dominion was invading. I said they already got beaten, and he told me, precisely, "Not in this timeline!" Then I woke up.

Not a very interesting story, but I wish I was artistic enough to draw what that Odo looked like. It was really wild.

She had medium sized tits, but her ass was pretty big (especially for Vulcan/Trek standards). I think she was a medical officer.

Also, why didn't they just do another 50 thousand lightyear spore jump like they did earlier in this season? Then they'd have all the time they need instead of being under a ticking death clock? And if they wanted to contact Starfleet for reinforcements but were being blocked, couldn't they just jump to Earth and be guarded by hundreds of Starfleet ships? Or literally a million other possible options besides sitting in space and waiting for the enemy to reach them?

>redditors defend the DS9 tribbles episode because due WACKY and I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW THE TRIBBLES

Reminder that Gene Roddenberry had one good general idea that much more talented people than him actually implemented well, and stuff that he had direct control of was complete shit, and also he had the Lucas-esque fraud habit of constantly changing his mind and making shit up but then claiming it was all part of a grand original vision.

A one off gimmick is just that, a gimmick that can be quickly forgotten. Making a whole series on gimmicks or crap is just poor planning.

>bawww he was a visionary and a true auteur! I want things made by committees and soulless experts

Not sure what that has to do with Discovery.

Wasn't lucas-esque, he was just a severe alcoholic at that point.

are you serious? DS9 was autistically true to the source material and tone of the original - almost to a fault. STD on the other hand completely fails to show any reverence for the source material, in favor of literal reddit-tier shallow references "remember ___?" -tier worldbuilding.

Then why is it one of the more popular episodes?

So Future Janeway was unquestionably a villain right? She massively interfered with the past and altered the timeline which is we're always told is a big no no. And it wasn't to undo some horrible event in history, or even to save all of Voyager, it was just specifically because she was sad 2 of her friends died and 1 got space dementia. All the other deaths of Voyager though, like poor Lt. Carry or Hogan or even Harry's suddenly appearing girlfriend mentioned in this thread got to stay in history.

Still a more responsible use of time travel though than Sisko allowing Kira to travel to the past to find out if Dukat fucked her mom

Presumably the time crystal will stay intact long enough for her to send back the signs.

>Also, why didn't they just do another 50 thousand lightyear spore jump like they did earlier in this season? Then they'd have all the time they need instead of being under a ticking death clock?
Because Pike wants to follow the Red Angel's signs.

>And if they wanted to contact Starfleet for reinforcements but were being blocked, couldn't they just jump to Earth and be guarded by hundreds of Starfleet ships? Or literally a million other possible options besides sitting in space and waiting for the enemy to reach them?
Too dangerous for Earth, plus the spore drive is still black ops.

Every alternate timeline Janeway became a supervillain. Even prime timeline janeway was a villain half the time.

Yes.

Funny how the time police didnt stop her that time.

And she was portrayed as someone who did something wrong.
Meanwhile DS9 just did the usual "lol we are humans and we are bad! fuck everything" attitude of abusing everything you can for your personal gain. Truly Star Trek.

>DS9 was autistically true to the source material and tone of the original

The episode where Sisko nerve gassed a breakaway Federation civilian colony because he was having a temper tantrum at a Starfleet defector was pure Star Trek, I agree. Gene would have loved it.

>DS9 was autistically true to the source material and tone of the original - almost to a fault.
Latinum.

It was a very Kirk thing to do.

>It's a "Kirk was a crazy renegade" spouting zoomer who never actually watched TOS

Kirk was by far the most by the book captain portrayed on any of the shows.

Because it didn't overstay its welcome. If they had done a season on it, it would've burned out. Now don't get me wrong, Star Trek has just as many moron fans as any other franchise, they aren't immune to the REMEMBER THIS stuff. But the creative staff had the sense to do one tribble episode and move on.

every single story with Harry Kim was boring unless you could see his spirit break. But I love how the writers hated him.

>dyke engineer
Tig Notaro, and yeah, she's great.

she's an annoying smart ass little prick that needs to have her teeth kicked in

>Kirk was by far the most by the book captain portrayed on any of the shows.
not in the movies

nice attempt at moving the goalposts, but there is a difference between bad/flawed Star Trek and objectively not Star Trek at all. DS9, VOY, and ENT were all trapped by "let's be different" because they were run by boomers and the shows suffered because of it. But they didn't fundamentally despise and eschew the source material the way the STD writers do. They just thought Gene's ideas about conflict were a bit too simplistic and idealistic to the point of making the writers jobs overly-difficult.

we were talking about a single episode of DS9, not the series itself, which no one but mallfags defend as true to Gene's ideals. You fags are literally saying because DS9 tried to be different in a few non-worldbreaking ways it means any future show has absolute license to throw out / change whatever they want, to the point that the end product is barely recognizable, as is the case with STD. You're arguing in bad faith and you know it. But, that's what shills do.

Reminder that what Kirk does in Star Trek 3 is less extreme than what Spock did in the Menagerie, but for some reason everyone treats Kirk as a loose cannon because of that.

>Because it didn't overstay its welcome

Literally all of STD, including season 1, has been about upholding Star Trek's ideals and it's source material in the face of adversity.

That's literally the opposite of what I posted, so go back and read the post. DS9/VOY didn't "rewrite everything". They were faithful to the source material and only chose to explore a few different premises and tried to do tweaks on some of The Great Bird's more idealistic points like "no money" and "no conflict". These do no fundamentally violate canon nor do they break the storyworld, but they were rightly criticised as being outside of Gene's vision for how the Star Trek universe should operate.

Your "show with a black woman" in the inverse. It's an entirely different, generic sci-fi show with a sprinkling of Trek lore, names, and iconography here and there. There is absolutely no comparison between DS9/VOY/ENT and STD. The former is actual authentic Star Trek (although flawed) and the latter is not nor will it ever be no matter how many memebait characters they shoehorn in, so keep SEETHING.

>DS9 is Babylon 5 and everyone with a ounce of honesty in their heart knows it.

It's not even B5, it's just a straight up lift of the backbone of what J. Michael Straczynski wrote in the early 90s, even before DS9 was in pre-production. This script and story was shopped with multiple production companies. Think of some similar situation with Einstein and the patent office. Take the Prophets/Pah-Wraiths with the Shadows and Vorlon. The Federation overseeing the Cardie station like the B5 station, both at the edge of wormhole/jump point.

I'm old enough to remember looking at a gossip rag in my grandparents kitchen a week after Michael Landon died from cancer. Miss you Grammy!

It's not bad, it's just not the best. It's got weird guest stars from the 80s whose careers went nowhere and nobody remembers. It has some weird shit but they try to retcon it instead of embracing it like VOY. It doesn't have that trying-way-too-hard feeling that ENT has that makes it sort of.... embarrassing but in the wholesome dad-joke kind of way that is comfortable. It's also not so completely foreign that its politics grate like TOS'.

After that it's just a matter of whether you like the gritty 90s antihero or not.

An exception being that TNG's prime directive stuff has aged EXTREMELY poorly

It's attempts to keep itself era neutral with things like music and culture are a pretty firm negative too.

The problem with DS9 is that it was the first step in a slope.
First we had that, now we have STD.

It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't patting themselves on the back about it. TOS pats itself on the back twice as hard but its so goofy nobody cares.

I for one am very glad for this.

true, actually. It was the first toe-hold into subversion. also ENT was still Star Trek, but a huge slide down that slippery slope as well.

DS9 was the edgy fanfiction teenagers like to write.
It was also so poorly done the audience didn't realize they weren't supposed to sympathize with the Cardassian

DS9 was true to trek. Only thing you can complain about is the Dominion War. And even that was great at showing how the utopia vision is flawed. Quark said it best when comparing humans who are well fed and safe vs those hungry and fearful in Siege of AR558

DS9 was just 2deep4u

They got across that the Cardassians were in the shit when they invaded Bajor well enough, people (rightly) just didn't care about that as much as the occupation and the six gorillion Bajorans who died because of it.

have sex

Wait, we know what VF looks like?

One of the first eps was Kira saying "we're the occupiers now" and Winn was always bitching about the federation being the new occupation and it was just so fucking tiresome. It's a shame dukat statistically improved everyone's lives and the bajorans were so hateful and pity-mongering they chopped their arms off after being vaccinated and shit, they should have been genocided instead of oppressed with health and civility.

MAKE ME (please)

>Just goes to show how great an idea JMS had. Imagine if B5 had the production budget and quality DS9 did.

B5 however was one of those cases where lack of resources made them them work twice as hard and improvise in ways that resulted in something superior - they might have had so little money that instead of finely crafted physical starship models they had to create ships in CG on a bunch of second hand Amigas, but they ended up creating engaging 3d dimensional space battles while Star Trek continued to have battle choreography that looked like it was static plastic toys hanging off strings, and it took an event episode to have more than two ships on screen at the same time.

Not to mention that when Trek finally got it's hands on CG animation it went full retard with it. God I cringe thinking back to Miranda's and Excelsiors being hit by torpedos in DS9 and wildly spinning away like they'd been hit by the fist of god and Starfleet itself becoming 100+ times bigger overnight.

Meant to reply to this post

>It was also so poorly done the audience didn't realize they weren't supposed to sympathize with the Cardassian

This is true but not in the way you think it is.

Read interviews with Marc Alaimo then ones with Behr and the other show runnings, it's legitimately heart breaking. Behr is a fucking oaf.

Attached: Geordi.jpg (755x1131, 538K)

Not a single word of what you said is false, but again, it's perfectly understandable that the audience would feel more sympathy for the space jews than the Cardassians. As whiny as they are the Cardies really did fuck them over, and we see that dicking while the problems on Cardassia that pushed their society in that direction in the first place are abstract, told not shown, and rarely even mentioned at all.

reminder that Geordi went to Risa multiple times so he had sex

Does anyone legitimately hate the Cardassians in DS9? I mean, in TNG they were completely one dimensional Romulan ripoffs and nothing more, but DS9 did a great job of fleshing them out and making them not only sympathetic but actively making the audience question whether the Cardassian occupation of Bajor was really that bad of a thing.

>I mean, in TNG they were completely one dimensional Romulan ripoffs and nothing more
Except they weren't, as usual lies to make DS9 sound better.

It's really weird cause there were SO MANY evil/backstabbing/anti-federation/anti-kira/power-mongering bajoran factions and individuals and SO MANY "all spoonheads aren't like that" examples. They didn't have the Cardie captain of the week thing going on, like TNG had with its villains. There was basically ONE bad Cardassian and the rest were like refugees so they had to be accepted.

Literally the only fucking thing Cardassians do in TNG is kidnap people and torture them for information and then put on show trials that presume guilt, like Romulans.

Actually watch TNG instead of living off memes.

They also stole the whole "dangerous border patrol" concept the early TNG seasons had for Romulans and ran with it way way better. TNG started replacing romulan plots with cardassian ones, not DS9. They also added the whole treaty negotiation thing where picard had to do morally grey shit first too.

you know exactly the episode I'm talking about. Now you show me an episode where Cardassians show any amount of depth beyond this in TNG. Go ahead, I'll wait.

A whole lot of it here. Pretty eye opening stuff.

>picard had to do morally grey shit first too
So, the rot actually started in TNG?

He's right though? The Cardassians in TNG are alien-of-the-week level developed, they didn't get any depth until DS9 had more time to spend with them.

Oh, I was hoping they posted pics.

I don't know about the timelines, they had Ro way before DS9 existed though.

Data must have activated his flotation device

I'm seriously concerned by people who fall for Dukat's manipulation. Are you really so gullible? He's an egomaniac, he's manipulative and he's cold hearted. His M.O. is clear. He thinks Cardassians are biologically superior and that other races exist just to serve Cardassia. He's a fascist to the highest degree. He's vengeful. He's delusional. He actually believes his own lies despite his actions going against his claims of compassion and fairness. He's willing to kill or cheat anyone who stands against him. He desires to be worshiped but those he oppresses because "it's for their own good". He views Bajorans as children who need the grey man's guidance. He's an archetypical racist. He's multi-dimensional in the sense that his personality is complex and fleshed out, but his morality is not multifaceted. He's simply evil.

I feel like Trek could have used more humans going rogue and breaking fed rules for those they care about or causes that were just. Maybe thats why I liked Enterprise as much as I did, Archer did some shitty things to keep Earth safe.

>There was a lot of interest, among the cast of DS9, about which character would kill Dukat in series finalé "What You Leave Behind". "Everyone wanted to kill Dukat," Ira Behr observed. Those actors who desperately wanted their own character to become Dukat's killer included Nana Visitor, though Behr was certain that he wanted Dukat to be killed specifically by Sisko. Dukat's fate was made very clear, with the Bajoran Fire Caves intended to represent Hell. "I think he belongs in hell," Behr declared. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, pp. 709 & 710)

I disagree. By getting Voyager home when and how she did, Janeway gave the Federation a massive edge over it's peers, especially while everyone was rebuilding from the Dominion War.
While everyone is recovering from hundreds of millions of casualties, thousands of lost ships, and an unstable political situation, Voyager is arriving with blueprints for functional transwarp technology (the quantum slipstream drive), weapons that can hold their own against the Borg, and the Borg themselves have been dealt a blow to the tune of a Unicomplex and one of their transwarp hubs (we don't know the full extent of the damage she did to them).

The quantum slipstream is the game changer. Voyager was able to cross 10 000 light years in a matter of hours with theirs, and while it had issues, that's with a drive that was built by a ship with a crew of 150 people and no external support. Utopia Planitia's going to have a line of slipstream-capable exploration vessels up and running in no time, at which point the Federation will be able to establish meaningful diplomatic relations with most of the species Janeway made first contact with. By getting Voyager home when she did, Future Janeway handed the Federation the 25th century, and the best part is that she can say she did it all for her friends and crew.

Dukat does bad things but doesn't think he's doing bad things. That makes him two-dimensional, and that means Dukat fans are plebs.

Damar does bad things, but he recognizes that they are bad and he uses them as motivation to change himself. That makes him three-dimensional, and that means Damar fans are patricians.

Thing is...Probert designed the Refit Ent, Ent C, and Ent D. That was always intended to be the design and was even on the observation wall. Money resulted in a nice but less sexy design.

both the Probert design and canon suffer from the same problem in that they self-consciously try to bridge the gap with a design that is half-Celsie half-Galaxy when no prior eras had a problem with making a distinct statement. They should have gone with something unique, but still recognizable as Starfleet cruiser that hits all the right cues. That unique design would then be translate-able to other ships of that era so as to help orient the audience to a given time frame.

(cont). Doing a "hybrid" design is supposed to show an evolution, but just ends up being an ugly bastardization that from any given angle could be mistaken as "maybe Excelsior-era, maybe Galaxy-era". It doesn't help that the Galaxy was a -very- carefully drawn ship with lines that don't really lend themselves to kitbashing and other types of reworking. Both the Probert Ambassador and the canon model are ugly ships with the ship from Yesterday's Enterprise being slightly less ugly.

There are better fan designs out there, but literally everyone falls into this same trap.

What are you waiting for?

Attached: HBIQEy1.jpg (1024x706, 42K)

True, but you have to balance that against other benefits of getting Voyager home early: the loss of a transwarp hub, the loss of a unicomplex, and providing the Federation with data on transwarp technology and an overview of Delta Quadrant politics may be worth the trade off, especially if the Borg are set back and trying to recover from the virus she used on them.
What pissed me off about the slipstream is how Janeway mothballed it because it had issues in the episode Timeless, but then 10 episodes later in Dark Frontier she settles on the vastly more insane plan of stealing a transwarp coil from a Borg ship and trying to use that.

Berman didn't single-handedly kill Star Trek. He had help. Particularly, everyone who thought this zoom zoom pew pew dogfighting in space shit has anything to do with Star Trek.

Because that outcome is fucking boring. Warp drives were already fast enough that not even two whole quadrants of the galaxy were enough fodder for more than a single show (TNG). Every subsequent show needed another goddamn quadrant to be explored because the Enterprise already covered Alpha and Beta in their entirety. Quantum slipstream drives would essentially not just make galactic exploration so trivialized that one could cross the galaxy at its longest diameter in the matter of a week, they'd make the Federation so much more advanced than its peers that no power in the Alpha or Beta quadrants could even pretend to be its equal, even if they all united against the Federation. At this point you might as well do like the original drafts for TNG and just have everyone using transwarp transporters to go from planet to planet.
Oh, and let's not fucking forget that since we know the Federation survives to the 29th century thanks to Voyager, all possible tension is permanently gone. Thanks Voyager. Enterprise just further cemented the same issue with 31st century Federation bullshit. There's no excitement left in Star Trek as a franchise anymore. The entire galaxy has been explored and we've gone forward in time to see how the future is literally perfect. The writers overextended themselves, overplayed their hands, and managed to completely fuck up the setting. Nothing in Discovery matters. None of the shows matter anymore. It's all fucking pointless.

If you really wanna go that route than the worst offenders were the studio.

ILM actually went to the opposite extreme, in that they produced two really stellar designs - Excelsior and Oberth (cute!), but neither design really agrees with the other. The ship in your pic is objectively shit because they fucked-up the aesthetic giving it this giant honking boat secondary hull, just so they could film a hull damage scene for that ill-begotten movie Generations, and then ended up fucking up the actual original model because their bolt-on parts got permanently glued.

Literally the best fucking episode in TOS is about a starship dogfight you fucking moron. Star Trek has always wanted to be big pew pew dogfighting in space since before it was a tickle in Gene Roddenberry's neurons, but the budget was never there for it until just recently.

The documentary portion will be both entertaining and educational.

Back to your videogames, faggot.

The Beta Quadrant isnt explored by the Federation and that advanced technology would be for sure be copied fast by other races.
And what tension about the Federation existing in the 29th or 31th century. Did you really believed they would ever go down a road were the Federation falls apart ?! You cant be that naive.

>After Threshold I think they might want to be extra careful,
Why? Nothing happened that wasn't worked out by the end of the episode. You also have to balance that against their willingness to risk being assimilated. I'd rather take the long way around if I know it means I don't get turned into a shambling techno-zombie.

because their budget was shit and they couldn't do much at all with their existing starship props and effects. So to compensate they generated artificial tension with slow pans of the bridge, shots of the captain looking tense and concerned, shakycam and people pretending to be getting thrown around, and cheap ass pyrotechnics of bridge consoles blowing up like they were made by the lowest bidder, all leading to a generally sluggish battle that pretended to be intellectual and deep when actually it was just making stupid technobabble up back and forth until eventually the Enterprise technobabbled better than the other guy and won

Although it could be a good story line. Hell even a having second full scale war with the Dominion would work.

DS9 is guilty of many sins, but being the first series to have a major ship battle featured in it with actual shots of the ships flying around and shooting each other rather than purely internal bridge shots and people announcing everything that's happening is not a sin. It's something that was always desired even by Roddenberry himself, but was always squashed by pure lack of resources.

Irrelevant. Meta knowledge and in-universe knowledge are two totally different things. We as audience know the Federation is not going to lose because then the series would be over, but the actual credible tension of a battle or war is lost if the writers literally state that the Federation cannot and will not ever lose in-universe by showing absolute proof that the Federation exists and flourishes well into the 31st century.

Phased polaron beams tear through shields like they aren't even there. This was covered in the Jem'hadar's first episode.

They could have done a better job with the special effects, but if you conflate special effects with the writing then your opinions belong in the trash.

The E-B alterations to the Excelsior just make it look fat and ungainly, and overdesigned when the original while having typical issues with some angles, was close to perfect.

STD sucks for many reasons and the mindless dogfights are far from the most crucial. In fact they're one of the smaller issues.

DS9 itself is the only one with shields that repel phased polaron beams. Because it's a fucking space station, and their shield generators are MASSIVE. Ships have smaller, weaker generators, so ships are still vulnerable.

No, you stupid little fuck, what you're saying has nothing to do with my argument. Not once has the word 'better' been used in any of my posts. You're trying to pin up a strawman so you can beat it up like a useful punching bag. Sorry, not falling for it. Try a real argument or fuck off.

Pretty much this, we went from the "We can be better" of the previous Trek to the "we really can't be better fuck everything YOLO!" of DS9.

ENT did it better anyway and it made sense because it was a prequel.

And it was solved by Star Fleet before the War started. So it seems you are actually the one with the trash opinion.

Nice job taking words out of context. That's fallacy #2. Swing and a miss.

See

you clearly said that it's what they always wanted to do which implies it's better because it's "what they truly wanted" instead of something they had to accept.

Nice try inventing some bullshit idea that in no way is based on anything ever mentioned in the show.

Okay. Show me a ship that's immune to phased polaron beams.

The argument was never about which way of presenting a starship battle was better. It was about whether the big flashy starship battle in DS9 that they blew nearly their whole budget on was or was not within the spirit of Star Trek. I've already said that the execution in DS9's big battle was bad and that the battles in STD aren't great either while praising a starship battle in TOS as the best the series has to offer. What sort of mental gymnastics do you have to be doing to think I am saying that the DS9/STD battles are better?

Okay, here's the script.

chakoteya.net/DS9/479.htm

What's the line of dialogue where they explain that the Defiant is immune to phased polaron beams?

>They didn't do a thing that would instantly solve the entire story in two minutes because there's literally nothing interesting about that.
If you can come up with numerous easy ways to resolve your plot without even having to think about it for more than ten seconds, you have a dumb plot.

Are you sure you didn't misread the text? Regal _______ Stadium 14 is very popular. I live in North Carolina and I'm trying to decide whether I want Regal Briar Creek Stadium 14 or Regal North Hills Stadium 14.

fucking writers never have even an iota of actual tactical thought.
also this episode was 60% shallow sappy bullshit of retards saying their goodbyes (hmm didnt they say the whole episode that hey can't use the subspace relays to communicate..hmmm) instead of rushing to complete their impossible task.

I feel like hollywood is just a circle of sjws sitting around in their comfy lil echo chamber giving (blow)jobs to each other and unaware of how low their IQ has become.

Also wtf do they keep spock in a beard? this is ryan (he doesnt deserve the i) johnson levels of subversion

There are no other showings that night in an Auditorium 7 in the country. Be sure to wear good socks!

The whole concept of Phased Polaron Beams was that they go through the Shields like they werent existing. And although not immune you can find this dialogue in the script:

" KIRA: I'm picking up two more ships.
(Who fire on the Defiant.)
WORF: Shields at sixty percent.
SISKO: Return fire! "

And in that memory alpha article you find a picture of the shields of the Defiant holding with a description:
" Deflector shields of the Defiant holding under phased polaron beam fire "

Don't post pictures of developmentally disabled people user

>(hmm didnt they say the whole episode that hey can't use the subspace relays to communicate..hmmm)

More that one person literally says "I hope you get this one day"

They weren't calling up people on the subspace phone. They were sending off goodbyes the old fashioned way

Did I miss an ep or something....because I have no idea where she came from.

A person there was literally an entire episode about. Hence the "Previously..." clip.

Watching things is hard for you, I guess!

WHICH EP? This makes no sense.

Dont talk shit. That creature comes from " Short Treks ", a spin off with several mini episodes. So it was especially stupid to show her in the previously clip.

Ah that explains she appeared out of the blue.

Stop being a twat. It wasn't an actual ep.
