They need to make one episode in which they retcon Trip’s death in that stupid Holodeck finale, air it so it’s canon, and then immediately cancel the show because this sounds mid AF, and Archer was an ass, and Bakula has all the presidential gravitas of a single neutron.
Twist. It ends up boring because they just overcome the antagonists through sheer numbers.
Lots of talk of filler in this thread, and it certainly can be a problem, but there are reasons to watch things other than a serialized plot, and if it’s good, it’s not filler. Exploring themes and context and setting and characters are perfectly valid, and longer seasons let a show do that. I very much like having at least a few serialized threads running through a show, and characters that never, ever change can be a bit boring, but IMHO the term “filler” gets tossed around much too loosely in a lot of online discourse around genre TV.
After a while, you also just sort of accept that Avery Books acts how he acts and that this means Sisko is how he is.
“Stylized,” I think the kids call it.
Didn’t he poison two whole planets and then make the colonists trade? Or am I misremembering?
The biggest biggest technology change has been the AR wall… You can’t use the camera the same way, but when you see the see the opportunity, it literally captures what the a camera is watching.
When you do it right, you get “how did they do that on a TV budget!?” When you do it wrong, you get whatever the hell THIS was.
You can’t for one second tell me somebody didn’t do that on purpose. It was uncanny.
From Worf’s point of view the little turd is 25% alien. I figure he’s over estimating because he dislikes him so much.
Goddammit, you’re completely right.
Excuse me, Alexander is 75% alien. Dale would not stand for such imprecision.
And DS9 Alexander is also 75% try-hard nerd.
This is Captain George Costanza erasure, and I will not stand for it. WILL NOT STAND!
Not good enough for its own post, but if it made its way from my brain into the world, y’all have to see it.
Sad that I only have the one upvote to give, lol.
Prodigy is like (rather good, at least after the first few episodes) Saturday morning adventure kids cartoons. There’s some interesting thematic stuff going on that can inspire kids to kindness, leadership, curiosity, etc., but it’s not explicitly educational in the way something like The Magic Schoolbus is.
LOL I certainly hope so, but have you considered that there is indeed a race of lizard people, possibly even secretly running the earth?
Either way, the idea of doing the whole multi-hour sci-fi prosthetic routine on an infant is certainly unsettling.
The Borg one looks like kind of your standard orthotic helmet some babies need, just with a paintjob and some greeblies. I assume the chestpiece and the Naomi Wildman prosthetics weren’t too bad either and used some medical grade glue that could be put on quick and cleaned up easily. I have no idea how they got away with the Cardassian baby though, unless they just, like, cast a Cardassian baby.
Yeah, and obviously there must have been huge advancements in material science in the Federation, because there is no current tool of that size that would need — or that could handle — that level of torque. Also starships might have clued us in, I guess.
It took me longer than I care to admit to realize that the extra in the gold shirt there does actually have an acrylic tool of some sort.
According to a 2012 book that was cited in wikipedia, they’re fake vomit.
When they get hungry, they need to make sure they are ready to drop two rocks in quick succession.
