nothing isworth watching after ds9
even the new movie tv tricked me into seeing was complete garbage
fuck no
I mean unless you're attract to that asian chick/the vulcan with big tits
do you think Picard and Riker ever slammed Wesley's boipussy?
did they take turns?
Anyone else gets a bit of, say, dissonance, when seeing Borg?
One one hand they're supposedly scary, with advanced nanotechnology, adaptive everything, transwarps, super-tractor beams and all the other shit that's barely explained.
On the other they're clumsy, slow, almost steam-punk looking, every single one is like a pile of parts thrown randomly together. Shouldn't they have some sort of unified design?
They're more like a zombie horde than a Terminator/Predator etc. if you know what I mean. While pretending to be the later?
Fuck, not sure I can word it out properly.
Welp, time to adopt.
i wouldn't think too much about it. they're basically space zombies
what do you mean?
As far as I'm aware that's a fully grown representative of his species.
how much is a bar of latinum worth?

>unless you're a strait dude or a lesbian
>then there might be a few things you'll like
Ah, Sup Forums.
It swings wildly from things that are actually really awesome (Mirror Universe) to things that just totally suck (finale). There are some interesting things scattered throughout but it never really lives up to the promise of its potential.
>Shouldn't they have some sort of unified design?
No, here's why:
1. They aren't mass produced
Mass production requires a separate process per design, but Borg aren't made from standard parts, every species will require a different assimilation process and a different newborn modification process so making them look similar requires more effort for no gain, because...
2. They don't care about aesthetics
They're made of the same materials because they picked the single best, other than that, perfection is about operation and not appearance
3. Drones have different functions
Making them all look the same would also mean givigng every drone the same upgrades, but there were medical ones for upgrades/repairs/scavenging the dead, then mech ones like they sent to Engineering. This is more efficient as not all tasks are required all the time or by all drones.
Look the issue with the Borg is that they are threatening one episode and get absolutely BTFO in the next. This makes it more difficult to take them as a real threat again later.
10 slips of gold plated platinum=one crate of root beer. That's all I know for sure.
*muffled roddenberry autistic screeching*
i blame voyager
voyager ruined everything
>he hasn't seen the malcolmpasta
Opinions on the casting?
The Borg should've been more analogous in design aesthetic to the (((Star Wars))) Empire, dark, sleek, efficient designs that are intimidating and have an industrial feel to them.
...
If the Borg where real they'd actually most likely be unstoppable. But because the good guys have to win they are given weaknesses like not acknowledge people walking around with rifles on their ships and their personal sheild only working after three drones have already been killed thenm being useless against people just punching them.
Then Voyager happened and they attacked a cube that was even more sheilded and well armed than normal without much trouble.
Pretty much everything is bartered and negotiated for, so it was worth 10 slips to him.
Good morning /trek/! How are we doing six days before Christmas?
Is it really less than a week before Christmas?
Huh. So it is. Oh well, not like I have any friends or family to worry about.
Implying we're not all Roddenberry-tier space atheists
>it's a breast expansion episode
I know a lot of people are screaming SJW but honestly Star Trek always had fairly diverse casting - Asians, women, Jews, communists, Africanoids, etc.
I never watched TWD, and as far as I know that's the only thing she's done, so I really don't have anything to say.
As for the Asian woman who's name escapes me at the moment, she's a competent actor in the past, so I'm not worried about her at all.
In both cases though, my biggest fear of this new series was that they were going to cast people too young for the show, but so far they have done nothing to give me reason to fear that this will happen.
don't remember that one
Does Trek have any fetish episodes? The only ones I can think of are the infamous ENT Mpreg episode and Mirror Garak wearing a collar.
The second episode of Enterprise has a weird butterfly eating fetish scene.
>Tom Paris gets demoted
>few episodes later he's suddenly Lieutenant again while getting married
>no world of explanation
fucking Voyager, for fucks sake
I am considering watching Voyager but I hear it's rubbish. Is there a list of worthwhile episodes somewhere?
Wasn't the explanation that it wasn't Voyager?
it generally picks up noticeably from season 3. There were just a few good episodes in 1&2 (Prototype comes to mind), but the entire Kazoon thing is just a chore.
It's not exactly "rubbish" t.b.h. It's jut weaker than what was before, but it'll grow on you if you give it a chance
I guess you're right, that's what I get for posting without seeing the whole episode.
This is my official apology to Voyager then.
the episode aired out of order anyway.
I know people are screaming Star Trek was always diverse, but Star Trek never put out press releases before they started writing the scripts saying "LOOK HOW DIVERSE WE ARE, WE'RE HIRING NIGGERS AND WOMEN"
I should work out a way to represent that as an image, someone posts that argument every day recently.
It's a Janeway tries to assimilate a borg (again) episode.
They aren't trying to hype up diversity specifically, but rather they're trying to hype up EVERY aspect of the new series; every single little detail is hypeworthy to them. We didn't live in this culture of Mandatory Internet Hypespam when the other Star Treks were made.
You choose to only pay attention to the diversity hype because you are obsessed with diversity.
What else is there?
So far there have been dozens (hundreds?) of articles dedicated to building up hype over the following non-issues:
>OMG new logo
>OMG new ship
>OMG serialization
>OMG prequel
>OMG the lead isn't the captain
>OMG multiple ships
>OMG Bryan Fuller is joining
>OMG Bryan Fuller is leaving
>OMG Nicholas Meyer is joining
>OMG Klingons
And /trek/ threads have seen complaints about most, if not all of those things
>a bunch of shit that isn't a big deal
>a bunch of Buzzfeed/Gawker-tier websites devote their existence into pretending that these are big deals
>a bunch of 4channers swallow the bait and start believing that these are big deals
Well fuck /trek/ for being stupid then.
/trek/ is shit during the day. I miss Barclay poster and that guy who comes up with weird plant names for Keiko. I love you both.
Why would someone complain about Nicholas Meyer? Are they a dumb Sup Forums tourist who doesn't know anything about Star Trek?
>OMG reaching
>We haven’t cast her yet and we don’t know what level of Star Trek logo, she will be. The story that’s fascinating for me is that we’ve seen six series from captain’s point of view and to see one from another point of view gives us a richer context
>It’s about who’s the best actor, what can we say about Star Trek logo in every role.
>Star Trek started with a wonderful Star Trek logo in its cast, Infinite Star Trek logo in infinite combinations, as Spock would say. We are absolutely continuing that tradition.
If you think the diversity agenda is something we're injecting into it and not them then you're not paying attention. Nothing on your list gets as much attention.
If they hype up the diversity more than the logo, it's because that's what you respond to. Diversity is what gets _you_ to click on the article. You are the cause of the behavior which you abhor.
>Hasn't heard of archive.is
It's vocal tumblrites and (((the media))) who want this.
Daily reminder that Enterprise was the very best Star Trek series ever produced.
It was Star Trek done right.
No faggots.
No feminism
No PC
Less technobabble
More realism
More character
Interesting aliens
Solid storytelling
Trektards hate it because it isn't gay enough.
What's with all the reposts?
Wow, so was right.
. They aren't mass produced
not right, in TNG it was shown that they seem to breed their own massproducted drones, but this was probably dropped later and never mentioned again because assimilating already grown up aliens seemed to be much scarier
>mfw I finally watched the sexual organs episode
>mfw the ending
They were way the fuck out on the frontier. Real root beer would have a premium based on that.
So out of all of that you can't give an actual example.
Cbs marketer.
Enterprise was the only Trek series that was good from the very beginning.
Seasons 1-3 were the best. Season 4 was when the quality started to fade. Most all of the stinkers are in season 4.
I'm actually kid of glad it was prematurely cancelled, because with Coto in charge, it would have quickly devolved into yet another woefully gay PC fest only suitable for faggots, sjw morons, cucks, and trannies.

>they seem to breed their own massproducted drones
They breed the biological lifeforms and modify them as they grow up, I was meaning they don't construct Borg on an assembly line like Cybermen in Doctor Who
How big is one crate of root beer?
Sup Forums has the best Trek threads though, they don't suffer from memes, tripfags and autism.
Back to your containment website, redshit tourist.
What's with all the reposts?
Commies don't celebrate Christmas.
When you hire competent staff that don't like Star Trek you get Voyager. It needs a fan in charge.
In what way was the Voyager staff competent?
Technically. Most Voyager stories are passable episodes of cheap television, they just aren't good Star Trek because they generally weren't written by people that care about the canon and have it memorised and want to flesh out the universe.
I know there's a whole bunch of these, where'd you get that?
And what's your explanation for Star Trek II, IV and VI? Nicholas Meyer wrote all three and directed two of them.
Gene Roddenberry
>It needs a fan in charge.
>MIIIIIILLLLLEEESS?!?!? Have you seen my Golanan Noose Holly?
Gene Roddenberry wasn't involved in their production. In fact, he hated them.
He leaked Spock's death to the press because he wanted to fuck their shit up, and he was so upset by VI that he declared it non-canon.
Yes.
Fan Service of the flesh is abundant.
mind you it has the problems of TNG/DS9 the first 2 seasons are hit or miss while they try to figure out where they want the story/characters to go. season 3 on are great. it does the lone ship in deep space alot better than voy.
Cringey, embarrassing attempts at sexual titillation are a good reason to avoid Enterprise.
they ease up on it after the first 2 seasons as well. aka they stop using that room every other episode.
>it has the problems of TNG/DS9 the first 2 seasons are hit or miss
Why has everyone started saying this recently? The early seasons of DS9 are head and shoulders above TNG. I would say these are the only bad episodes from them:
>The Storyteller
>The Passenger
>Melora
>Second Sight
Every other episode is good to excellent, with the majority being close to the latter.
This is one of the reasons I've avoided it, the fact that it's usually the first thing brought up about the show is a bad sign. That and the retcons.

Bashirfaggot,
You are tripping for attention, so I have questions:
1. What do you do for a living? How do you financially support yourself?
2. Can you post some more cute pics? We will shower you with attention.
3. Why are you so obsessed with Bashir?
dude if you're gonna bait, bait better.
for christs sake people, it's not that fucking hard
keikoposting is comfy
Legit question why are there no Orion characters at all in the other series? I mean the makeup is stupid easy for the women, just slather them with green. Compared to all the shit you need for Klingons, Cardassians, Jem Hadar, etc. it seems like they'd be a shoe-in for easy characters.
Why, /trek/, why?
I think it's because they're so unimaginative. Klingons were too, but then they got updated in TMP and people could take them seriously. If that guy was just a regular person painted green people wouldn't take him seriously, so they got a truck disguised as a man and covered him in cool armour and stuff on his face that I can't see. If you're changing the design that much, you may as well just make a new alien race and risk getting called a hack or disrespectful.
Also, the TNG and beyond Federation would not want to deal with slavers.
the pilot was one episode. pay attention.
tom lost it by destabilizing the gravity on the ocean planet.
gets reinstated to lieutenant like a month later.

What's with all the reposts?
Is this from Star Trek: the Musical?
The Voyager post is talking about Course: Oblivion.
Pay attention.
>This is one of the reasons I've avoided it, the fact that it's usually the first thing brought up about the show is a bad sign. That and the retcons.
Not only have you seen but you've had this conversation where you pretend to uninterested many times before.
That's your life by the way not mine.
You know specific pieces of lore but somehow didn't watch ENT because of "fan service." Pretend harder, jesus.
hm. yet they seem okay to deal with the Ferengi. Would have been good fodder for an episode about the Federation making compromises on their ideals for some other goal.
good point though, people would bitch about them just being green hughmons.
>gets reinstated to lieutenant like a month later.
Why the fuck are the people who are so wrong the most eager to post, and then complain about how others need to "pay attention"? Paris is demoted in Season 5 and promoted back at the end of Season 6, not "a month later."
The jews fear the samurai
