Picard is best space dad
Neelix is your wacky uncle

kira was wholly unqualified to be second in command on an interplanetary space port

Oh she was qualified all right

She got the job because of her political value - putting a real Bajoran patriot and freedom fighter in the number two slot was a move to mollify the hicks and fundies who wanted to go back to their religious bullshit and pretend there wasn't a complicated galaxy going on around them.

She was Bajor's best.

First episode with Ziyal on the station

She's trying to fuck Garak

I like this girl.

Don't make me say the H word!

>SEVEN: Pot? I'm assuming you're not referring to cannabis.

Why do so many main species like warmer temps?

Vulcan
Klingon
Romulan

I didn't really like Kira's fourth season hair

Cardassians.

There's no accounting for taste.

thats the one, I got a fused blown and switched cardies for Romies

Deep Space Nine was so fuckin rad
The secondary cast overperformed at every turn, Jake and Nog had actual coming of age storylines compared to Wesley Crusher's garbage
No one has ever successfully defended Enterprise it was so dopey and boring it's like the intended audience of housewives were writing it

Nog>Jake

Jake is a whiny ass bitch.

counter to popular opinion, canon is not determined by IP holders. canon is determined by the audience. when conflict arise it is up to the audience to resolve them. in the case of nutrek the only way to resolve the conflicts is to put nutrek in its own universe with its own canon. theres no other way for any of it to make sense.

ds9 sucks in large part becase the mains are overshadowed by secondaries, teriaries, and guests.
ent is easy to defend, it ended 2 years too early so the final season is rushed and it has less rewatchability but its lighyears ahead of everything since and a nice chance of pace when youre tired of TOS-VOY

He whined but if you watched close they gave him shit to do, like dating a dabo girl and becoming a war journalist, and then he was in the future as an old man who had become a novelist.

Not that anon but he's right and you're wrong about everything

ENT fucking sucks

odo outshines everyone on screen all the time.

it ended 2 years too early

This is another way of saying that it sucks

a nice chance of pace when youre tired of TOS-VOY

This is yet another way of saying that it sucks
But you certainly can't have been irked by how interesting the secondary and "tertiary" characters because they were the most boring pieces of shit on earth and that one chink girl only got sexy twice. We may have to agree to disagree

The most consistent actor in any Star Trek series is Colm Meaney as Chief O'Brien so we're going to have to disagree there, all memes aside.

I think O'Brien might have the highest overall quality of focus episodes of any cast member of any Star Trek show (meaning episodes where the A plot revolves around their character).
Other cast members might have more memorable episodes, higher tier individually, even a couple of them, but what makes O'Brien's focus episodes remarkable is the consistency. There's almost 0 bad ones, the least memorable maybe being Tribunal or something, but a ton of good to very good ones, and then a handful of great ones like Hard Time.

I keep expecting to wake up in a cold sweat on the Ent-D with Beverly and Geordi telling me the 2020s simulation was a success.

Tribunal is great because of how hilarious the Cardassian justice system is

People scoff at that episode where he gets adopted by a Bajoran village as their local shaman, but it was fucking cool and extra hilarious if you know that O'brien and Bashir are going to become bros and fly Sopwith Camels together in the holodeck

outranked by Nog

Nog keeps winning!

Riker deserves a suffering collage too. Just because he’s higher ranked doesn’t mean he hasn’t been through it.

why does kira get such a sexy outfit?

Can someone for the love of god explain to me where the fuck did the Romulan plot go to in TNG?

What happened to Commander Sela, Natasha Yar's rape baby? THEY DIDN'T EVEN ADDRESS HER She was the shadow figure behind the scenes doing shit while the Enteprise is like ooh shiny space thing, I'm gonna touch it.
Even the Borg was introduced and never became all that important.

What TNG really missed was diving into the larger political dynamics, like the Federation & Klingons vs. the Romulans & Cardassians. That angle had so much potential. TNG was a show entirely about an alien flavor of the week or sci-fi anomaly/effect of the week. Honestly, like 90% of TNG feels like a time-waster. It's either a weird space anomaly, something wrong with the ship, someone's brain acting up, time travel nonsense, or some interpersonal drama. There's always some magical or whimsical twist. Half the show is just moralizing to me about Starfleet ideals and ethics. Why would the flagship of the Federation be involved with anything but the cold war with the Romulans, securing the border with the Cardassians, or sparring with the Klingons?

TNG was trash.

DS9 got it right.

ds9 was good but at this point is severely overrated

it got dementia and kind of just wandered off somewhere.

To elaborate, I wanna know what happened to the Romulan dissidents or (Romulan underground movement). How is Spock doing working underground in Romulus?

That story plot would have been infinitely more interesting than watching Data be possessed by a space buoy.

its an obrien episode

Speaking of DS9 characters I really so far cannot see the point of Dax except to just be there and be hot. She's boring and not funny, her acting noticably dogshit compared to anyone she's on screen with, and her episodes all fucking suck so far. Like I admittedly kind of wrote her off after that one where that psycho was going to kill her and steal the symbiont and she didn't even fucking try to fight back but I have seen no redeeming quality since that either. I think I kind of just hate the concept of Trill in general too desu

Say there, zoom-friend, but TV shows pretty much all used to be episodic in nature, modern story-arc prestige dramas started with The Sopranos.
TNG did a lot of shit with Romulans, half the bridge crew got kidnapped or mind-controlled or a big bird of prey appeared out of nowhere. And the Federation was doing well against the romulans because Picard personally brokered this whole fucking klingon succession crisis.
There was just so much TNG that it got lost in the soup, which consisted of twenty different writers trying to suck Rick Berman's dick hard enough to get their script picked.

Can someone for the love of god explain to me where the fuck did the Romulan plot go to in TNG?

There was very clearly a build towards serialization during S2 of TNG under Maurice Hurley's direction. He'd run a couple of big TV shows before which had episodic storylines mixed with serialized ones and he was building up the Romulan thing slowly in bit by bit episodes.

But then he left and the Romulans just became fodder for episodic content like everyone else.

Yeah they didn't know what the fuck to do with her character for the first 3.5 seasons, so by turns she's a sexpot, a wise old soul, a Perfect Starfleet Science Officer, and a klingon-loving tough girl.
Also the actress is pretty fucking bad

TNG is full of plot threads that died on the vine. It’s the price of such a high episode count and airing at a time where they couldn’t get TOO serialized. I’m still mad they did nothing with that Filipina chick who got a whole introduction scene and then vanished. They were clearly planning on something for her.
They also could have just got progressively weirder with the things that possessed Data. Like have the Holodeck become sentient to possess Data and use him to vent about all the weird sexual fantasies people make it generate.

Oh also her friendship with Sisko is just impossible for me to buy as what they're selling it as. I'm sorry it just doesn't work in execution.

Can someone for the love of god explain to me where the fuck did the Prophets plot go to in DSN?

What happened to Captain Sisko, Cassidy Yates had his baby? THEY DIDN'T EVEN ADDRESS HER She was the girlfriend behind the scenes doing shit while everyone is like ooh shiny space orb, I'm gonna touch it.
Even Q was introduced and never became all that important.

What DSN really missed was diving into the actual science-fiction, like in every other Star Trek. That angle had so much potential. DSN was a show entirely about an alien battle of the week or bad romantic plotline of the week. Honestly, like 90% of DSN feels like a time-waster. It's either a weird augment retard episode, something wrong with the wormhole, some religious figure acting up, racism nonsense, or some interpersonal melodrama. There's always some magical or whimsical deus ex machina. Half the show is just moralizing to me about how Starfleet ideals and ethics don't work in le nitty gritty grimdark war edge of space. Why would the strategical lynchpin of the Federation be maintained by a retarded Ferengi like Rom, open to terrorist plots by Kai Wynn, or have its chief engineer playing on the holodeck all day?

DSN was trash.

TNG got it right.

Can someone for the love of god explain to me where the fuck did the Prophets plot go to in DSN?

DBZ

They don't lesbians in the future.

Why not? Surely Subaru exists in the future.

this is where 6 years of prophets episodes led

"DS9 is totally the best Star Trek you guys"

Bob Dylan recording a shitty album doesn't negate the good ones he recorded in the past

Bob Dylan

I accept your concession.

Dismissed.

404 point not found

DS9 created and dropped plotlines like nobody's business. The writers constantly soft rebooted and wrote out characters. Completely changed them in the 11th hour. Wrote themselves into corners that required poorly thought out deus ex machinas to save the storyline. Retconnned the hell out of things. Constantly killed off and otherwise shit on beloved characters from other series because they couldn't figure out what to do with them. Undermined core messages of Star Trek for the sake of edginess. Forced plot developments that were completely out of character. The list goes on and on. DS9 barely managed to end the series without completely falling apart. Direction? Ha. Vision? Conflicted. Cohesion? Like Odo in his bucket.

I said DISMISSED.

Heh, thanks for playing along with the set up.

Just skip those episodes and fast forward through all of Dukat's scenes past seasons 6 and it's fine.

Undermined core messages of Star Trek for the sake of edginess.

I can't believe we're still arguing about this in the Year of Our Prophets 2025

gave me a giggle

Old man makeup so bad fans instantly guessed his character was going to de-age by the end of the episode

Well, at least I guessed that plot twist. Maybe kids in the audience were surprised.

Coldplay

In Trek News, as part of their SNW S03 promotion, Paramount+ has released a blooper reel for their Star Trek: Strange New Worlds x Spongebob mash up:

youtube.com/watch?v=HgmnHzBl9RA

Belay that order, commander. You are relieved of duty.

All the oldfag nerds complaining about the WWF crossover with The Rock back when it happened didn't know how good they had it.

Who in their right mind thought that is a good idea?

You can always tell it's the same bunch of schizos every time.

pizza anon

VF

"trek news" guy

DS9 hater

VOY hater

wouldn't surprise me in the least if they were all one guy

people who didnt care and just wanted to shove something out to market.

The thing is, it Could possibly be done better, but it OOZES phoned in as easy as possible writing.

DS9 hater

ive finally been named!

You forgot DS9 lover
funnily, its probably the same guy who is DS9 Hater

This reminds me of how in the 90’s Fox would have crossover promotions between The Simpsons and shows that were struggling in the ratings. And they always framed it as The Simpsons getting a new neighbor with the show it was leading into.

Goddamn, you newfags can't even get your schizos lists right.

DS9 is bad. Because it's disappointing. Also like half the episodes are skippable, far more than TNG. Knowing that it's still pretty good but godamn if there isn't a lot of trash there.

I guess that's two of us!!!!!!!

deaging wasnt the twist. the twist was he couldnt stop deaging

I love when space shows have the fake earth episode.

fake

Sorry Im racist and refuse to watch that

A big fat FUCK YOU to RDMOORE!

great episode until this moment. And even then it's still good just skip like half the whinging

I don't hate DS9 I just hate DS9fags

How would Sisko have handled them?

Also like half the episodes are skippable, far more than TNG.

anon, almost all tng episodes are skipable.

IDK I personally found DS9 one offs on average more captivating then TNG which has a LOT of "Eh, I guess its ok background noise" episodes.

Shit like Quark getting a ferangi b team together to rescue his mom is way more entertaining then watching westly defeat the headset which makes you addicted to virtual frisbee golf.

I just watched the episode where Bashir tries to save that planet from their Dominion blight but the best he can do is a vaccine and that mom dies during childbirth Bummer... :(

I want to be spoiled. Does he ever find a cure?

I just post about the series ive been watching recently. a month ago it was voyager for me, this month ds9

Does he ever find a cure?

Not directly, no. The vaccine he has only works on the next generation.

It's never brought up again.

No. It was just a good one off with a bittersweet ending. That the girl who had hope in him died, but she saw it wasnt all for nothing.

Shit like that makes me think the founders deserve WAY more then what they got.

First Officer aboard the Starfleet flagship

his dick nearly gets him and everyone aboard the Enterprise cripplingly addicted to video games

I figured. I just don't like this ending because it's unsatisfying to me. I did like him being humbled when he failed tho

tng predicted moba gacha

I would have made it, I have caloused my neurotransmiters against such interactive video game dopamine hits. Others in the grim darkness of the 24th century it seems, have not.

I would literally be the demoltion man of that time.

IDK, I think it was pretty satisfying. Sometimes you cant fix something completely. He gave them hope for the next generation.

Though tbf, the end made it seem like he was continuing to work on it, but I think its fine as it is. makes shit feel contained AND tragic.

i can't be assed to play anything these days i can't keep my own saves and stuff of. online only shit is for the birds

hmm, how should we fit everyone's mandatory lines in this episode about Bashir fighting a plague that infects people from birth and leads to an agonizing death?

I KNOW

youtube.com/watch?v=Kg8o__6bEEY

cook up a scheme with Garak to genocide the Sheliak homeworld using an engineered virus, then cleverly frame the Romulans for the whole thing.

try low involvement stuff like (old) total war or xcom.

I find it nice course its not reflex based really and I can do something else in the mean time.

I thought it didn't make sense why and how the ads would be on the Defiant's system too.

its not how active gameplay is, its that moba and online stuff disappears. after putting tons of times into mmo's that eventually went bust, forced match-making from other games, disappearing content.. i'd rather make sure anything i play, i can control.

picrel theres whole missions now pulled from hitman cause connor, but they actually still exist in-game and you can play them if you use peacock (server emulator) instead of the normal online saves. funny enough not long ago they also dropped a new elusive target based on jean claude van damm and now he's accused of rape or some shit too, so his content might also disappear. hitman is a perfect example of a user unfriendly setup: you can only play the story missions offline, all the elusive targets, challenges etc can only be done while online, in a single player game. but thanks to peacock i can play it all locally and my whole save is a simple json file i can backup

Who do you prefer in a sweaty tanktop; Janeway or B'Elanna?

I want one of those mugs. ;_;

Shirtless B'elanna

the official store dropped the ball

They had ONE JOB ONE FUCKING JOB

They just didn't want to pay Shimerman.

I did it because of you, I went through the imdb just to be sure. There are a total of 25 skippable TNG episodes and 67 skippable DS9 episodes. Give or take of course depending on taste.

This was another disappointing episode for me, because Bashir never got an episode nearly as good again afterwards. kino...

sweaty janeway but i wouldnt kick sweaty torres out of bed

usually theres decent replicas but i'm not finding any for that specific model. bonus if it played the tune when tipped. lots of raktajino replicas though. they must exist somewhere cause i found one dudes pic of it, but without the logo or its on the other side

official site doesn't have the raktajino shape either kek. who is in charge of this??

the real betrayal of principles is the fact that section 31 gets snazzy grey vests while everyone else gets gay grey jackets.

who is in charge of this??

Someone is. Someone really stupid.

rev up those 3d printers

tfw seven years without seeing wife

Don't make O'Brien jealous

Obviously Quark hacked the Defiant too. Either that or when it is docked it gets replicator patterns from the station which in this case would have been QUARKed

kek

I refuse to believe this is real dialog from a real Star Trek show.

Why do they not have any lights on?

What about Bashirfag?

Fuck, I just finished Pale Moonlight.
And it was good.

when the replacement actress is prettier than the main one
