too ominous and scary. what instrument do they use for all the Star Trek intros? some kind of french horn or something? they all sound the same but its very distinctive

After Season 3 they intentionally made the music worse so there was less focus on it.

...

>I forgot how badly Voyager fucked...up
Never forgetti

Tell me Sup Forums, who was the absolute hottest alien woman? Not counting women that are made of fire.

Fuck you. I was about to be responsible and go to sleep, but now I want to rewatch BoBW.

...

this is the best track in trek history

Actually looks like it's towards the end of season 4.

>nes provided critically acclaimed work for the first four seasons (1987–1991) of Star Trek: The Next Generation (Star Trek: TNG). In total, Jones composed forty-two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He was interviewed by Bill Florence for the article "Ron Jones - Sounds in Space", published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 14, pp. 16–22. After three seasons and starting in the fourth the producers choose other composers to assume Ron's position scoring the series. No specific reasons were given other than they wanted a less dramatic approach to the score and less emphasis on melodic content. Despite the success of his work, Jones was fired from the crew of The Next Generation under controversial circumstances near the end of the fourth season. His firing was supposedly because his music was thought to be "too noticeable" by Rick Berman.

None of them. Fetishizing alien women is for pedofiles

Stop spamming this. It isn't that good.

*blocks your path*

That's a damn shame.

>Rick Berman.
It keeps happening

...

What is it with Ricks? I've never met a single Rick I haven't wanted to punch.

>Guy wins an award for the music.
>Fire him because his music is too good.

Wait, I take that back. Rick Bayless is based.

the bajoran tetrach

>Bajorans
>Hot
No. The only hot Bajorans is one in an incinerator.

>His firing was supposedly because his music was thought to be "too noticeable" by Rick Berman.

Jesus christ, no wonder the music went to shit, Jones tracks were actual kino. Berman is responsible for everything shit in Trek, isnt he the one who groped the Jadzia actress until she left?

Do you think that if they make another Star Trek, post voyager, that they will make the klingons normal again?

I still see no fucking reason to have changed the klingons. They looked fucking badass as they were.

wasn't best of both worlds a porn Randall was ordering in Clerks?

Why the hell didn't Dr. Soong program a database of idioms into Data? Surely that would be essential for conversing with humans.

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE STILL THOSE AMONG YOU WHO DOUBT THE GIRTH AND LENGTH OF MY SCALY PENIS. SO I DECIDED TO BROADCAST ME FUCKING KIRA'S MOTHER ALL OVER THE PROMENADE AND SENT IT THROUGH SUBSPACE TO BE PLAYED ALL THROUGHOUT BAJOR.

THANK YOU THAT IS ALL

Why is Wil Wheaton such a piece of shit?
youtube.com/watch?v=oiRubWXs5M4
Even in a different show you can tell the rest of the cast of star trek from different series hates him

>An aggressive Cardassian woman will never rape you for your seed.

Frakes is fat, he doesnt like soy
and Wheaton is a soyboy

Martia in Star Trek VI. When she wasn't a 7' baboon at least.

*soygoy
why do people keep getting this wrong. it's soygoy

You mean goygoy

Fired for being too good. Fuck you, Rick Berman.

rick niggerman

Have you payed respects the Holy Trinity today, /trek/?

that's redundant. soygoy is all inclusive

>Geordi didn't do some blindness charity

Come on.

He probably was in a position for a pay raise per union rules and they canned him for some nobodies.

I'm surprised he was born in Germany. No wonder he is so white

>the answer is voyager
>fuck voyager

>Go to an alien planet
>name is always "Zyglon 7" or "Siquitiz 4"

Why is it almost always planet name then a number?

We dont call Earth "Sol 3" and Vulcan and Kronos dont have some number after them.

Its just a shitty trope, same with animal names in trek, those are always something like "A tarcallian hawk" or "Rylian Mouse" like aliens wouldnt have their own fucking words for animals.

>I play the holographic doctor
He didn't even know his character's own name LOL just goes to show even the actors thought holograms were handled badly in these shows.

Often enough the names don't even make sense.

I believe his parents worked on a US Army base.

>not soyim

>Why is it almost always planet name then a number?
Presumably they are the first to discover it and name it in that manner
>We dont call Earth "Sol 3" and Vulcan and Kronos dont have some number after them
Because we have already discovered it
>Its just a shitty trope, same with animal names in trek, those are always something like "A tarcallian hawk" or "Rylian Mouse" like aliens wouldnt have their own fucking words for animals
It's just the universal translator helping us if you want to think. Otherwise how else are we supposed to imagine these animals as viewers

nice bait
heres your (You)

I was about to point out the "an adjective noun" laziness, but you already did.

>"hopefully i dont look like a jerk"
kek

Aliens don't speak English either. We the audience just hear English because of the universal translator.

The aliens don't call their own worlds that. That's just how the universal translator translates it.

When we meet the Vulcans, we'll call Earth "Earth", but the universal translator will tell the Vulcans that we said "Sol 3".

>universal translator
Handled even worse than hologram tech, somehow. No excuse.
>Otherwise how else are we supposed to imagine these animals as viewers
I don't know, ask someone like Larry Niven or Gene Wolfe or Tolkien or fucking George Lucas.

Some are uninhabited, and they don't know the local names of inhabited planners until they arrive, so they just stick to the 'Star X' naming convention. There's probably more than one name among a planet's population too, the star name won't be local either.

Yeah that's what I thought. Makes sense

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exoplanets_discovered_in_2013

Planets are not unique enough to be individualized. You are comparing home planets with colonies or unsettled planets.

Those are awesome tropes. You are just a retarded faggot.

Now this is funny:
>Its just a shitty trope, same with animal names in trek, those are always something like "A tarcallian hawk" or "Rylian Mouse" like aliens wouldnt have their own fucking words for animals.
You want a new word for a new animal every single fucking time? That's just pure autism. Once again, you are a colossal faggot.

Dude it's sci-fi you aren't going to get exact and real answers, if you did someone would be able to explain how to build warp engine.
>I don't know, ask someone like Larry Niven or Gene Wolfe or Tolkien or fucking George Lucas
Rarely do we see the animals they reference in Star Trek so the additive noun helps us visualize. Where as in other sci-fi we see the actual animals as they are describing them

One thing that always bothered me about VOY:

Why did they leave for the Badlands with so few torpedoes? (The issue of how they "resupplies" them is a whole other issue)
youtube.com/watch?v=PIGxMENwq1k
Given they used two for the destruction of the Caretaker Array (with Tricobalt explosives) that means they left with a compliment of 40. Even for so short of a mission, why the seemingly low number of torpedoes?

>colonies
Lots of colonies are referred to by the number of their planet in a system. Fuck off.
>Rarely do we see the animals they reference in Star Trek so the additive noun helps us visualize.
Who is "us?" The average TV viewer? Retards, all of them.
>Where as in other sci-fi we see the actual animals as they are describing them
We never see plenty of things in other SF. Even if we didn't, it's not necessary that we know exactly what every fucking thing is. Fucking idiot.

>You want a new word for a new animal every single fucking time?

They only show alien animals like 10 times in all of Trek, 99% percent of the time its to make some shitty analogy like "That wesley is as gay as zurillian unicorn!" when "that wesley is as gay as a unicorn!" would do perfectly fine, you don't need to constantly remind us we are in space like we will forget somehow.

mmm cellular peptide cake

>Alt-Ezri
Fugg

A REGAYLIAN OX

A KLINGON TARG

A TALARIAN HOOK SPIDER

A FOUR TON RECTEEN MONOPOD

name the situations these animals were mentioned in the show /trek/ NO GOOGLING

They are named after the star they orbit, unless the system has its own native culture that gives the planets unique names.

>A REGAYLIAN OX
isn't it rigellian ox?

Watching ds9, on season 2 now.
I don't like the bajorans.
I think I like them even less than the klingons.

Humans do the "adjective + noun" naming all the time in real life. Look at all the dog breeds. Or Bengal tigers. Or a hippopotamus (literally means "water horse" in ancient Greek).

klingon targ makes the least sense, targs aren't already a thing and klingon isn't the planet or a nationality

Those are breeds within one species, these are organisms that are genomes apart.

maybe but that is phonetically inconsistent with the way they pronounced it in the episode

A hippo isn't a kind of horse

Yes but African elephants and Indian elephants are both kinds of elephants.
Jesus Christ has anyone here even read Aristotle?

ah

They are relentlessly eternal victims, which made no sense once the Federation showed up. The feds are supposed to have the tech to make any planet a paradise, so that should be enough to move the fuck on with life.

...

I only remember Bones mentioning that Spock was as strong as a rigelian ox after a surgery, maybe the blood transfusion to Sarek. The targ is when everyone was imagining things after they went beyond the universe and Worf saw his childhood pet. I don't remember the others.

This

Every interaction with a Bajoran in the entire series boils down to "MUH OCCUPATION" or "MUH PROPHETS"
There is literally nothing else to them besides those two things, it gets fucking obnoxious

nice I thought the ox was just from the Ira Graves episode with data, didnt realize it was a reference to TOS

>Who is "us?" The average TV viewer? Retards, all of them.
>We never see plenty of things in other SF
exactly my point

It isn't necessary for us to know exactly what everything looks like--that isn't your point, is it?

I could be wrong.

They tried to make Bajorans like holocaust victims but ended up making them more laughable than the "real thing"

They're a metaphor for Soviet Bloc countries that just became independent after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, basically like Poland.

>Particularly when she was a 7" baboon
ftfy

It isn't necessary but it's nice for the viewer to be able to visualize a similar animal to the alien one they are describing

It's funny because it's always Sup Forumstards who have a problem with bajorans, female characters and environmental stories in Trek. Really makes you think.

holy kek

ok

Sure. But imagine that you're a colonist on some planet and come across a four-legged animal with antlers. You'd probably think "hey, that looks like a deer". It might end up getting the colloquial "Planetname deer" even though they're unrelated. People do this (starfish and jellyfish aren't fish).
Or maybe you brought over some Peregrine falcon from Earth and bred/selected them for their ferocity to act as pest control. If they developed a reputation, they might start getting called "Planetname falcons"

Just admit that it's a stupid trope, it's not "nice," it's retarded.
The Bajorans really are annoying. They'd be annoying as a one-off species from TNG and they're annoying as the focal point of DS9. Their religion is annoying, their traditions are annoying, their attitude toward the Cardassians is irritating, their attitude toward the Federation is irritating, every romance Kira has feels awkward and forced and she's the only relevant Bajoran main character (other than Ro but she doesn't count), it's really hard to like Bajorans.

>Just admit that it's a stupid trope
no

>Just admit that it's a stupid trope
no

It's funny how true this is. They always squirm and rage about Sisko mentioning racism in DS9.

>Just admit that it's a stupid trope, it's not "nice," it's retarded.
no

im a Sup Forumstard that loves DS9 and Sisko. How do you compartmentalize that?

>Implying "I'M A BLACK MAN FROM THE FUTURE" is a foundation for a good character
>Implying Avery Brooks isn't as bad as Scott Bakula at portraying his character

kill yourself my nigger

also ex-Sup Forumsack, love sisko and I'm watching ds9 right now

I do dislike bajorans though so I guess he got me there

>When you trigger the libtard

Like clockwork

Sisko is great
