voyager reruns
yesterday: kes returns, made-up to look old
today: barclay (ffs) is talking to the real doctor (zimmerman), who looks like the emh, made-up to look old
barclay is up there with Q in characters that can do one.

(i have that borg cube decoration from 2000 but i think it's meant to plug into the old-style tree lights and the voltages might be wrong here so i've never used it (and can't remember where it is))
― koogs, Wednesday, 15 December 2021 11:50 (two years ago) link
I love that Kes returns episode, particularly given how she was written off the show and it essentially ruined the actress' life.

although the solution was to get young kes to point out to old kes that she chose that route

Lower Decks is cool.
Quite enjoyed Prodigy though it's a lot more youth oriented

the villian(?) in today's star trek voyager repeat was the villain in yesterday's svu repeat (Jeff Kober, you'll recognise him, was the evil wizzard in Buffy)
yesterday's baby-centric episode was poor
― koogs, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 14:19 (two years ago) link
I probably need to walk back my praise for Prodigy, because the main guy is the embodiment of male mediocrity, all while sporting a rattail.

Still working my way through TNGWe just watched S4E7 “Reunion”Man I love what they’ve done with Worf starting w the dismissal, gives him so much more depth, each new episode of that storyline SO good . And K’Ehleyr his Klingon mate is (rats, i guess “was” ;_;) my favorite minor character so far, she was fantastic. Also, unrelated: in general, I am taking an overall stand against storylines involving holodeck detective cosplay and/or holodeck jazz clubs. The.WORST.

Aw, I love those. I don't think a 26 episode version of Discovery could save it but imagine if the Expanse could have an episode where the crew sits around and plays Catan for a night.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Monday, 10 January 2022 06:27 (two years ago) link
true!it’s not the concept so much as just my inner cringe at a) terrible period costumes b) worse affectations and c) Riker playing his “‘bone”
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 10 January 2022 06:30 (two years ago) link
reunion is a weird one. starts off as a murder mystery for picard but ends up in the grimdark era of comics, complete with girlfriend fridging.
all of the games they play on discovery seem to be based on english language wordplay.
― adam t. (abanana), Monday, 10 January 2022 09:39 (two years ago) link
Veg, the actress who plays K'Ehleyr also plays a Vulcan medical officer in I think season 2. Nowhere near as memorable as K (who was such a great character), but FYI.

yeah i vaguely recognized her voice & discovered that when i looked her up on imdb!

last 7 episodes of voyager and jeri ryan is out of borg makeup again in an attempt to not be typecast when the show finishes. hasn't started singing or dancing yet, but i guess that's coming.
i like seeing the crew in mufti though

Cardassian ep was v good, enjoyed it a lotMarc Alaimo! i want to give him a shoutout, i think in terms of actors who do their thing under insane layers of effects makeup, he’s got to be up there with the greats for DS9. As this Cardassian in TNG, this handlebar mustached (lmao so weird) Gul Macet, you cannot take your eyes off him. His physicality, the way he uses his voice & that great duplicitous stare - fuckin badass. Love him.

Saw episode with Famke Jensen in it the other night. No memory of her having been on TNG. I swear there was another "hypersexual female nonhuman comes aboard and causes the men to lose their collective shit" episode too.

Part of the appeal of the show for me. For awhile I thought that I was imagining that that sound remains in the background during scenes rather than just interstitials. Sooooo cozy to watch episodes at night which mainly take at night and are not action-y. Picard chillin in his quarters drinking some earl grey. Riker silently fingering his…sax. Data watching Spot snooze. Ahhh.

Just watched the DS9 ep where Jadzia goes to the Trill homeworld to work out why her symbiont is faltering, and I was remembering the same pools in caves in a Disco episode from some time back. Apparently, those 2 eps arethe only times in all of ST history we ever see Trill world!

I'm sure I got it from somewhere up in the start of this thread.
I believe there's a Lwaxana Troi episode on DS9 where this happens.

I know a secret Star Trek story.As an LA teenager in the 1980s I paid to attend a talk by Harve Bennett & Nicholas Meyer, as I was nerd enough to know that Bennett had produced ‘Wrath Of Khan’ & ‘Search For Spock’ and had written the latter, while Meyer had directed ‘WoK’.1/— Jonathan Korman (@miniver) January 23, 2022

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired.

Per an io9 mention:
Fans who subscribe to the Paramount+ streaming service will have the first chance to check out this enhanced version, as the remasters movie will premiere there on April 5, less than a month away, in celebration of Star Trek’s “First Contact Day.” Not a subscriber? Luckily, the film will also be returning to theaters on May 22 and May 25, with assistance from Fathom Events. Can’t make it to a theater either? Well, you’ll be able to purchase the movie in Blu-ray form in September, with a host of extras that are yet to be announced.
