wait so they burn up a supply ship full of shit in the atmosphere
replicant otm, they have seen things i wouldnt believe
― lj. 'hoover' egads (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:06 (ten years ago) link
but again, the question wasn't "where does waste go on a spaceship" it was more "why do the women wear onesies that they would have to completely remove to urinate/take a shit" cuz that is some fucking stupid uniform design right there. which was what I was getting at, it's just part of the general "this show looks terrible" deal.
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:06 (ten years ago) link
there's a lot could be installed underneath that uniform that we cant see
ok that's unlikely i'll admit

w/r/t troi, betazoids have different plumbing.

I dunno, need some closeups of the crotch design

HALF-Betazoid.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:14 (ten years ago) link
So I guess maybe only half her plumbing is different.
i don't know if this ties in troi but betazoids are also notorious for disliking horse riding.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:16 (ten years ago) link
is Troi the only one in a onesie? Yar had the guys' uniform and Crusher wore her flowing gowns or whatever the fuck
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:18 (ten years ago) link
maybe it is a betazoid thing

well so i googled "how does deanna troi pee" and i got some pretty, uh.... good...? fanfiction...
― ian, Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:36 (ten years ago) link
bi-pee is in the eye of the beholder
― lj. 'hoover' egads (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 January 2014 00:37 (ten years ago) link
so in the end we've determined that Betazoids pee with their fingers or something
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 9 January 2014 22:05 (ten years ago) link
They pee with their empathy.

You can't spell EMPATH without pee etc.

can't believe how amateur this convo was
Star Trek ships all have artificial gravity and forcefields so they don't need special pee cups or whatever
As for waste, just read about how a replicator works
A replicator was a device that used transporter technology to dematerialize quantities of matter and then rematerialize that matter in another form. It was also capable of inverting its function, thus disposing of leftovers and dishes and storing the bulk material again.
So you're probably eating and wearing what used to be poop.
As for how Troi pees, she suffers for her ridiculous 1980s-inspired leotard and just peels the whole damn thing off.
― have a nice blood (mh), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 16:55 (ten years ago) link
gravity and forcefields not the issue, it's getting out of the uniform to pee that is the issue.
― How dare you tarnish the reputation of Turturro's yodel (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 16:58 (ten years ago) link
maybe she just pees in her leotard and throws it into the replicator and gets a new one
― have a nice blood (mh), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link
maybe the uniforms have a spage-age slit you can't see that makes them tear away, its not that complicated

have just bought the TOS dvds and am 4 episodes in.
they've cleaned up the pictures and replaced the old model spaceships with cgi (which i'm not sure needed doing). but the worst thing is they've re-recorded the theme tune. it's supposedly identical but it's not. the voiceover they found in a cupboard but i'm sure it's a different take.
― koogs, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 17:33 (ten years ago) link
Is it still boring as hell or did they fix that too?

replaced the old model spaceships with cgi (which i'm not sure needed doing).
It reminds me of the re-released Red Dwarf series 1-5 - they swapped out the old model footage for CGI stuff and it just seems wrong somehow. With TOS, it seems to make the fake nature of the effects more pronounced. Because I'm so used to seeing the Enterprise as a miniature model, I just automatically think of it as looking like that, so when I see the CGI Enterprise, it looks doubly fake.

i don't like it when they do that either, but maybe they feel the need to justify the HD remastering with this junk. they even did it with Next Generation, right?
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 18:50 (ten years ago) link
It was much better done for TNG.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 18:57 (ten years ago) link
It's a lot less noticable in the TNG remasters.http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/observations/tng-r-changes.htm

hmm I don't think the DVDs of TOS I have have any re-done effects/models. they sure don't look like it to my eyes anyway. was there an earlier, non-fucked with edition?
― How dare you tarnish the reputation of Turturro's yodel (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 19:18 (ten years ago) link
yeah, there was at least one, maybe two full DVD set releases before they did the current remasters
