What a silly gimmick. I’m glad they didn’t really mention it again
is the best place to start TNG s1e1? i don't want a repeat of farscape having to slug through 8 episodes of pure shit and losing interest before the good stuff
The silly gimmick was to illustrate that when Starfleet was acting like a peaceful exploration organization (think NASA), it was a mobile city with scientists' families; and when the SHTF and Starfleet acts like a space Navy, the civilians and families can go somewhere safe while the ship defends against the threats.
To that end though I see no reason why a Galaxy class, or any class with detachable saucers, would have left the saucer attached during the Dominion war.
yeah
My opinion is uncommon in that I like the first two seasons more than the rest just to be contrary but it depends on your tolerance. If you jump straight into season 3 you miss a huge amount of character development. I’m sure someone has a newbie friendly list of what to skip
It’s so goofy though
haha, you thought we only had one ship but now we have two. They’re less than the sum of their parts but I bet you’re intimidated. Two ships
That wasn't the point of it at all. Riker only did that once against the Borg and it was largely because it was so stupid and batshit crazy Picard/Locutus never anticipated it. The saucer separation was always intended to remove the civilian portion of the galaxy class from harms way in the event that evacuating them would take too long in a time critical situation.
Now if you wanna talk dumb saucer bullshit....
I get it in principle but I think the writers rightly recognized that’s it’s silly. Voyager is a whole other level
why yes, we can make major modifications that would require months at Utopia Planetia on the fly and single handedly best the borg because … hey look a tribble
nta. we never actually see what the armor comes from, even in the future the rhode island doesn't appear to use it. we only see janeway's shuttle deploy it and then voyager. but even in the future, that klingon is more interested in the shields and is caught off guard by the armor.
Posting this one last time
I’m just using the armor as one example. They somehow went from scrounging for deuterium to not have to drink Neelix’s shitty coffee substitute to being able to tweak out the ship in any number of ways that completely defy logic or belief. I say this as someone who enjoys Voyager but man. TNG at least tried to make things superficially coherent, by Voyager it was well off the rails
I believe the armor and transphasic torpedos were super secret tech specifically made for the Borg. I'm gonna go on a limb and say Klingon tech doesn't really get much better so Federation shielding pisses all over them by that point in time.
The thing with the Borg is you have to save all your Aces for when it really matters because you don't want them to adapt and steamroll you.
Who cares whar ai hallucinates lmao
he gets his coffee from a nebula rather than a leola root
I believe the armor and transphasic torpedos were super secret tech specifically made for the Borg.
canon, she'd have access to all that after getting home. and do you think janeway would retire after getting home? hell no. she'd go on a war path designing weapons or get another ship
i like to think she'd go on to weapons. she's seen to much and needs to make sure that you get the biggest photon for your buck
target the orphanage
What did she mean by that?
Anon Babble: the character
man look at that hair, it looks like its going to warp itself
all of these characters were cringe and painful to watch
Star Trek?
To that end though I see no reason why a Galaxy class, or any class with detachable saucers, would have left the saucer attached during the Dominion war.
So the retard casuals watching would know what ship it is.
In what capacity do starfleet officers "sponsor" people in their application to the Academy? What did Sisko do for Nog apart from a nice letter of recommendation?
I hate nutrek but want a giamatti goon sesh badly
I think that’s it. The only other parallel I can think of is Wesley, and both he and Nog still had to jump through all the hoops, pass the exams, etc.
Why do the Star Trek writers make villains cool but then feel like they have to make them silly and over the top later?
Kill Cardies. Behead Cardies. Roundhouse kick a Cardie into the concrete. Slam dunk a Cardie baby into the wormhole. Crucify filthy spoonheads. Defecate in a Cardie's food. Launch Cardies into the sun. Stir fry Cardies in a wok. Toss Cardies into active volcanoes. Urinate into a Cardie's kanar. Judo throw Cardies into a wood dabbo table. Twist Cardies heads off. Report Cardies to the Bajoran intelligence service. Karate chop Cardies in half. Curb stomp fertile Cardie bitches. Trap Cardies in quicksand. Warp speed into Cardie ships. Liquefy Cardies in a vat of acid. Eat Cardies. Dissect Cardies. Exterminate Cardies in the gas chamber. Stomp Cardies skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate Cardies in the oven. Lobotomize Cardies. Mandatory abortions for Cardies. Shoot down Cardie pilots in the Battle of Britain. Blow Cardies out the airlock. Drown Cardies in fried yamok sauce. Vaporize Cardies with a phaser rifle. Kick old Cardies down the stairs. Force Cardies to live with my wife for a month. Slice Cardies with a katana.
It's basically just a character reference
Force Cardies to live with my wife for a month.
Wait what
This one is a step too far.
The ultimate torture
Who are you talking about?
probably means dukat. he was cool on tng/ds9, then became a favorite on ds9, so they had to sabotage him in the end with the pah'wraith stuff
nog
Writers are very protective of their characters and are absolutely vain and petty enough to ruin said characters if fans express any kind of interpretation or ownership that offends their preconception.
Vidya Sisko looks.....odd....
Are you saying that's what happened with Gul Dukat?
opposite hapened to dukat. they hung on to him far longer than intended only because marc was around as an actor too. everyone loved him as the bad guy so they had to give him a shitty ending
Also because their main phaser banks were in the saucer. The Galaxy class wouldn't have civilians during wartime. It's an overengineered cruise-ship but it has teeth when it needs it.
DS9 was cringe and painful to watch
Its a tuvix episode.
Its a Molly regresses into a feral teenaged child because her parents were too busy not looking at her as she cartwheeled into a fucking cave after she explicitly asked them to watch her do cartwheels
episode
Probably because they didn't have the families on board at the time and having the saucer is better than not having it since it probably has additional phaser batteries.
