E.g.: the illogical irrational hyper-emoting vulcans.
Uh, Vulcans have always been illogical and irrational. This is partially because the writers tend to be bad at basic logic, but Trek has a looong history of Vulcans being pompous, racist assholes that are irrationally obsessed with tradition to the point they made it a de facto religion.
They are usually stone faced while they do it, though.
They made up an excuse about how there was ‘no room’ for promotions, except they demoted Paris for a while which would have freed up a spot for Kim. Also, Kim being an ensign when he’s in charge of all of Ops doesn’t make any sense; he has lieutenants and possibly lieutenant commanders under him.
Out of universe, Berman said that someone absolutely had to be the rookie, even after seven years in deep space, so Kim couldn’t get promoted or meaningfully grow. He also tried to fire Wang a few times for nebulous reasons, only backing off when Wang got a ‘sexiest man on TV’ award. Wang was also the only Star Trek cast member to ever be denied the opportunity to direct an episode, courtesy of Berman. Wang also once said of Berman, “if there is a hell in this existence that we have that people can go to, he’s first on the list.”
So, short answer is that Berman is scum.
Guy on the left looks less like Qui-Gon and more like Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones.
They also lie and claim they can’t lie.
I had the opposite reaction to the Lorca reveal. He was the only interesting character at that point and they just threw it away.
Where do I find this setting?
The first and third for sure, don’t think the second will be a significant factor.
Worse. The network went under and they finished up the show with the remaining budget, cramming the front half of what was supposed to be season 5 into season 4. They didn’t get picked up by TNT until after they filmed the series finale. After unexpectedly getting renewed, they filmed a new season 4 finale and pushed the already filmed finale back to the end of season 5. And JMS had to scramble to fill content now that half of it had already been used.
Going to be completely honest, Dexter isn’t worth finishing. The first few seasons are fun, but the show struggles to actually go anywhere until the final season, at which point it goes straight into a ditch. I think I lost any lingering respect for the show around season 6 and kept watching due to sunk cost fallacy and nostalgia for the first couple seasons. I haven’t watched the spinoffs, but the only one that’s finished so far apparently followed the same trajectory over much fewer episodes.
The first Klingon BoP in the movie was originally a stolen Romulan prototype in an earlier draft.
Babylon 5 is literally the only show I can think of with full length seasons and seasons that don’t have episodes wasted on filler, and that really only applies to seasons 3 and 4, when the showrunner personally wrote every single script. He also wrote all of season 5, but there were production issues that messed with the pacing of the front half. The stress of writing 22 cohesive and relevant episodes every year was also getting to him. Somewhere in the 10-14 per year range feels like the sweet spot to me.
That said, a season needs to come out each year, not every other year. When there’s too much time between seasons, the audience and the writers start losing track of how little time has passed in-universe and then characters start getting over things oddly fast.
He was symbolically cast- uh, in a bad light.
The one that guest stars Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, of course.
I was very pleasantly surprised at how faithfully they recreated the look and feel of the TOS Enterprise’s interior while updating it to modern production values. White with red accents was basically Starfleet’s entire thing in TOS.
Uh, your spoiler tag is actually a code tag.
She also was just supplying them with basic goods, not weapons or intel. She also didn’t stab the DS9 command staff in the back or go on a self-righteous holier-than-thou rant when she was caught. For all that Eddington mocks Sisko for taking it personally, Eddington went out of his way to make it personal.
It makes the most sense
Except that it doesn’t make any sense at all because that’s not even close to how DNA or evolution work. The episode is about as scientifically grounded as the one where Barclay devolves into a spider.
There are sites that catalogue both scripts and transcripts. Should be easier to just download those than try to rip subtitles off of the DVD releases.
Spock is only half vulcan, though. Vulcan facial features seem to be dominant, but he may have human nipples.
Carrie Fisher said she had no memory of making that due to being high off her ass.
