Star Trek: The Next Threaderation

[Kotowboy]

Whiskey.

[BlobVanDam]

They probably only have the fake synthehol stuff anyway.

[Kotowboy]

Snythsky

[BlobVanDam]

Ensign Snythsky? The Russian guy?

[King Postwhore]

Friends don't let friends drink and drive a wessel.

[Kotowboy]

Holo-hol




" Try new Holo-Hol ! You'll think you're actually drinking Alcohol !"





* leaves you with same empty feeling inside.

[El Barto]

Worst character would have to be Neelix of Troi. They're both pretty hard to stomach. At least Neelix was occasionally pretty funny. Troi was never any good. Even when they had decent stories for her, turning her into a Romulan for example, she was still pretty bad.

And I also preferred Pulaski, simply for the reason that she had spirit. As I've always stated, my problem with the TNG crew were that they had no soul. While she was a bitch more often than not, at least that qualifies as personality. I also consider Diana Muldaur a much better actor than McFadden.

Well apart from the fucked up grooming of Kes,

This really made me LOL.

[King Postwhore]

The 1st season of TNG, I couldn't stand Troi.  They did flush out her character better as the seasons went on.

[El Barto]

They did flush out her character

Oh, if only.

[King Postwhore]

 

THE PAAAAIIINNNN!!!!

[Orbert]

Maybe that's what she needed, a good flushing.  If anyone could give it to her, I'd've thought it would be Riker, but I guess not.

[Kotowboy]

" The Game "

God I *HATE* fake laughing but the intro to this episode is beyond annoying.










Also :






I've always wondered what the windows on the underside of the saucer are for. There's no windows on the floor. I wondered if the bottom of the dish had reverse gravity and it's actually the roof.

Otherwise they're very much on the floor.

If you're referring to the ones above the phaser ring, it looks like those are angled. Haven't we seen plenty of angle windows before? Or, maybe they just thought it looked cool and didn't give it another thought.

JJ.....Typical. Design over function. . .



Oh wait.

[El Barto]

Not sure what the eye roll is for.


Oh, wait.

[Kotowboy]

No you really don't.

[chknptpie]

Quick google found this


Those look like downward facing windows? Not at an extreme angle, but look downward to me.

[Kotowboy]

Pretty much run out of non - Klingon / Worfs brother / birthright YAWN episodes of TNG

So started Voyager.

That looks like DS9.

[Kotowboy]

Yes. Enterprise D doesn't have windows like that or doors.

[chknptpie]

It is DS9 - however, the design can be applied to starships.

[El Barto]

Ten-forward has the same downward sloping windows. Which is odd since they should go the opposite direction, being on the top of the saucer and all. I'm pretty sure I've seen other similarly sloped windows, which I think is what KTB was asking about.

[chknptpie]

Captain Picard's quarters appear to have upward facing windows

[Kotowboy]

Maybe his is on the top of the dish.

[Kotowboy]

Oh I just remembered. Voyager is the series that has really abrupt endings.

" Phew we did it. "

THE END


They're probably not all like that but I love a little epilogue before the episode ends.

[Progmetty]

Speaking of endings, I watched the TNG episode Justice that ends with Picard telling Riker to "take us out of here, Number One", to which Riker responds enthusiastically "Gladly, sir" then proceeds to sit in his chair with a promising smile, says and does absolutely nothing pertaining to that order then the episode ends
I laughed harder than I should have at that heh

I think that only really bothered me on the finale.

"WE MADE IT HOME"

Ten forward was always the lower half of the saucer rim, which is why they made the rim thicker on the 4ft model, because the 6ft wasn't designed with ten forward's height in mind for that section.
They only had a couple of sets for the other regular rooms, which is why you never see much variety in gradients on the windows, and you'd see how silly and impractical the ultra raked windows would look in reality.

When I rewatched TNG the then that struck me was how little The Borg were in the series - I think they feature in about 6 episodes in total of the 178 made.   You would have thought after the success of 'The Best of Both Worlds' that they'd pop up far more.  I think there may well be more Lwaxana episodes than Borg ones...

I'm happy that they didn't overuse the Borg in TNG. If they had Borg invading Federation every season, it wouldn't make sense. Also the borg stories in TNG after TBoBW, were really hit or miss. I liked 'I Borg' while 'Descent' was awful.

My favorite borg story after 'Best of Both Worlds' is 'Dark Frontier' in Voyager.

See, I consider the Descent episodes to be more Data/Lore episodes than Borg episodes, especially considering it's not the Borg collective, and the Borg could have easily been replaced with.....any one else at all and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference in the episode.

Justice could have been so much better than it actually was. The premise was excellent and that part of the episode (somebody needs to be executed in accordance with the prime directive) was nicely done. One of the rare examples of when making Wesley a focal point was a good move. The problem was that the people were pretty goofy and the inclusion of their God was silly and unnecessary. It's also one of the few times Picard tells a society to fuck off, not quite so in accordance with the prime directive.

Voyager : " Parallax ".

Just started. I've seen a lot of episodes of VOY but never seen it all the way through.

I really like Voyager. The main problems are a good amount of awful episodes, and with rare exception, most of the crew has almost no major character development over the 7 years.

[Kotowboy]

S1 has the advantage of not being as horrendously 80s as TNG S1
