I like how Patrick Stewart de-emphasizes it most of the time.

So the re-run of the Original Series has just finished, so many episodes I hadn't seen before, not many of them very good, the third season as a whole was pretty feeble.

... I suspect they're going to re-run the whole thing again from tomorrow.
They just loop them, they've already shown them all at least twice. Quite right too, beats all the shitty made for TV lol cgi monster movies that make up most of the rest of their daytime schedule

Every single day, immediately after Star Trek, there's a cheap crappy disaster movie made within the last decade, usually within the last 5 years, there's thousands of the fuckers!

I rewatched "Cause and Effect" and it kind of bummed me out thinking that just after the episode ends they're going to tell Kelsey Grammer and his crew that they're 80 years in the future and everyone they've ever known is dead. Would have been interesting if they'd done anything to follow up on that.
― JoeStork, Monday, 3 August 2020 03:42 (three years ago) link
Actually I guess given the extended lifetimes that's not true, but they've been presumed dead in their loved ones' minds for 75 years probably.

Anyone watch Lower Decks yet?
― Garry Shambling (Leee), Friday, 7 August 2020 17:04 (three years ago) link
I never started watching ST:TNG until season 3 or 4 when it originally aired, but I've started rewatching from the beginning on Netflix. "Encounter at Farpoint" is decent, but the two after that are so terrible that I'm really glad I already know it gets significantly better. I know the rest of S1 is pretty rough going too.

Some of my favorite scenes are from the worst episodes:

Season 1 is fascinatingly ropey and for the most part quite entertaining if you don't mind that sort of thing. "11001001" is a fun Riker/Picard hangout episode - it's actually quite rare to see them together, being informal! - and "Consipiracy" at the end of the season is a total classic, with one of the most WTF moments in the history of Trek (you'll know it when you see it).

FWIW I mildly enjoyed Lower Decks, unexpected gore and all.

CBS AA had been posting a bunch of Short Treks and the first episode of Lower Decks on YouTube.
Latest episode of LD the best one so far.

This again. The show seems to be hitting its stride; each episode has been better than the last and the sly references were great.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Sunday, 6 September 2020 00:29 (three years ago) link
And to put in some more effort to selling the show: It's an antidote to the vogue of current Trek to pitch everything at the most galaxy-encompassing levels, where so much of what Captain X does is quadrant-defining. Granted, that's happened with every iteration of Trek (in my favorite series, the Captain is an actual messiah), but I think this is where the episodic nature of pre-2010s Trek helps out -- mythology/arc episodes were broken up with standalones (which may still center around galaxy-threatening conflicts). With Disco and Picard, though, nearly every episode sets phasers to EPICOMGWTF! and center around the same plot.
So a show about Starfleet nerds and underachievers is kind of perfect. It's frivolous and lighthearted, but it's not trashy; it's been investing Boimler and Mariner with some real character work, as much as you can get away with in a 20-something minute cartoon that drops references to double-fisted punches.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Sunday, 6 September 2020 01:35 (three years ago) link
I'm glad to hear LD isn't trashy. That's the last thing I want from Trek.
― justice 4 CCR (Sparkle Motion), Sunday, 6 September 2020 21:33 (three years ago) link
It’s a little trashy; at least as far as the animation and voice acting conjures American Dad.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 7 September 2020 03:55 (three years ago) link
yeah that's what steered me off it... I may check it out yet

We've been slowly going through Voyager, episode by episode. It's been very weird but there are some excellent episodes

I love voyager, no apols Paris, Kim and Torres are super dud of course
― covidsbundlertanze op. 6 (Jon not Jon), Saturday, 24 October 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link
I think Chakotay is the one I dislike the most.
Seven of Nine is my favorite at the moment, we're in season 4 after the Hirogen holodeck/WW2 kerfuffle.
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Saturday, 24 October 2020 16:32 (three years ago) link
And I should say that I dislike Chakotay the most because of the truly racist way he's written, not anything else about his character, which is fine.
I dislike Paris and Torres, but have a soft spot for Kim, even tho it turns out he was the reason Kes got axed from the show...
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Saturday, 24 October 2020 16:36 (three years ago) link
What did Kim have to do with it? It seemed kind of obvious the writers didn't like the character and also made the decision to "swap" her out with Seven of Nine.
― Nhex, Saturday, 24 October 2020 17:26 (three years ago) link
they were planning on cutting kim, but then the actor got listed in a "hottest actors" magazine listicle, so they went with kes instead.
they should have replaced half of the cast imo. so much dead weight that the writers didn't care about.
― wasdnous (abanana), Saturday, 24 October 2020 17:48 (three years ago) link
Poor chakotay and the gd synth flutes that waft in whenever his ethnicity is in play Nonetheless he is one of the assets of the show, along with the cap’m, the dr, 7, and, yes, neelix, fuck you I like neelix.
― covidsbundlertanze op. 6 (Jon not Jon), Saturday, 24 October 2020 17:53 (three years ago) link
I think Ebert said something about whether he'd rather watch the actors eat dinner than watch them in the movie as a metric for how badly they're used.I feel that applies to all the cast, but which does it apply to most?
― Philip Nunez, Saturday, 24 October 2020 18:59 (three years ago) link
I’m not sure I follow you exactly but my favorite Star Trek characters are exactly those whom I would rather watch having dinner
