Here's a thing to play with in your head: Odo transfers to a station close to Earth. In order to put the great number of Earth visitors at ease, he researches "traditional mall cop" and decides to roll around on a segway.... he is completely oblivious to the consternation of observers as the segway morphs back into his feet and legs when he comes to a stop.

He turns into a cat with wheels and rolls past teens smoking weed in the shuttle bay, knowing that no one will ever believe them.

#12 as uncomfortable as Tuvok and Spock may be, I'm sure they understand that when a woman does that, it's because that's the only way the man she's talking to will leave her alone.
If I run into my female boss on a date and she needs an out, it doesn't matter how much I hate her in real life because until that guy is gone, we are inseparable best friends who need to catch up.

for a moment i thought the joke was her name was 7 fucking 9, some sort of play on 7 ate 9. then i remembered Jesus Fucking Christ wasn't actually our lord and saviors name.

The H stands for Heistheway (a real name apparently *facepalm*)
Usoki
I'd thought that the H came from early 2000s meme flash animation culture. It was randomly chosen, and anything else is a backronym.
TKpotato
I have no idea actually I just made it up. I did search for bad names with H. Maybe it’s Heckin’
ExecutiveProducerWolfDyck
the most widely accepted derivation is from the divine monogram of Christian symbolism. The symbol, derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ), is transliterated iota-eta-sigma, which can look like IHS, ΙΗϹ (with lunate sigma), JHS or JHC ("J" was historically a mere variant of "I"). -wikipedia

#7 100% ignorant. Especially considering Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds are both better than the ENTIRETY of Enterprise and at least 80% of Voyager.

And here I am with the exact opposite opinion of you on Voyager and Enterprise.
Iplaybadguys
I truly have no idea how that is possible, but I respect your right to your opinion
WilliamKeith
In the interest of a non-flaming conversation, I'll offer a reason and ask for yours. Voyager's best feature ended up 7 of 9, once she rose above being eye candy brought on to save a plotless shipwreck story occasionally showcasing crew turning into lizards or Janeway murdering people. Enterprise was a scrappy story full of heart about a galaxy where humans were not yet God's Special Bunnies with magic tech, actually meeting new civilizations and developing relationships we'd know later. You?
Iplaybadguys
Also, rubbing goo on T’Pol in her underwear every episode isn’t an attempt to prop up an unpopular show? Sorry, that line about 7 really rubbed me wrong
Iplaybadguys
Voy was about perseverance and hard choices, about ingenuity balanced with ethics, and every character in Ent was so passive that it felt like not only did the actors not want to be there, the characters didn’t want to be there. Every captain up to then, including Kirk, had a gravitas, a leadership quality, if you removed Archer from Ent, I doubt anyone would notice. Despite the obvious “let’s put a hot girl in sci-fi” there was more character growth in 7 of 9 than in the entire cast of Ent. 1/2

Yeah the faces look all fucked and it's definitely fake
ExecutiveProducerWolfDyck
I don't really trust ai to tell me when something is ai. But they do all look like they're wearing pretty good but not quite perfect human masks.
TheZommie
i mean it's definitely photoshopped, but what looks AI on it?
AgainstMethod
If that's shopped, then they would have had to spend hours on it. The lighting and shadows being that consistent across all characters, the way they're standing in front of each other, the reflection on the window. And what Trek show has those walls and windows? If they didn't use AI, they arguably should have because it would have turned out just like that in a fraction the time.
iMcFly
It has a very rubbery sheen to it.
TheZommie
it's getting architecture that someone is standing in front of to still look consistent, and the repeating architecture looks basically the same, no one looks like a melted goo-monster
Cornflakes91
also, newpike and mariner definitely don't deserve that.

And throw Archer into what I assume is the airlock, and he can take that fucking song with him

RIP Michael Burnham. You did deserve that.
TheSecondPiewackit
I just finished Discovery. I genuinely don't know why it gets hate.
NotThatPrivate
it was ok. I was super disappointed in it because of the time jump. Not not only was I excited to see all the old tech and issues they had to deal with, the extremely far future didn't really seem as advanced as it could be.
Also, remember when Scotty ended up on the Enterprise D and had no fucking clue how warp drives worked anymore?
The crew of Discovery should have just been baffled by everything that far in the future.
TheSecondPiewackit
They pretty much were. I enjoyed how they consistently were not only showing a far future crew , but then seeing THEM suddenly be the cavemen... it was an interesting interaction.
bitemark
I enjoyed Discovery. I do wish they had done more with the secondary characters, and I find it hard to justify Burnhan being in Starfleet at all, after a war-causing mutiny, much less a captain, but otherwise I overall liked it
TheSecondPiewackit
Yeah, it seemed to focus on her for the first season or so, but after that they actually started filling out side characters. Also the entire first two seasons was them basically treating her as an outcast because of the whole war-causing mutiny thing. The entire first 3 seasons was basically a redemption arc for everything she pulled in the first episode.
AReallySatisfyingPoo
Because of the bad pacing? The awkward, unprofessional crew? The constant Deus Ex Machina favoring Burnham? Throwing out the window any kind of consistency with the science, technology, timeline, the species' appearances, with no explanation. Consistency that had stood strong through every previous series.
TheSecondPiewackit
"Consistency that had stood strong through every previous series" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
TheSecondPiewackit
1) Didn't see that. 2) Compared to... Kirk? 3) Compared to... Kirk? 4) Again... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Imalwaysready
#7 Just finishing a rewatch of Discovery. It is by no means the best Trek, but it might be one of the best at BEING Trek—at showing Starfleet’s ideals, its effects on those within it, and how it affects those around it, for good or bad.
And while I still want to know what drugs were involved in deciding to have a ship that works on tardigrade DNA and space mushrooms—oh, to have been a fly on the wall when they pitched that idea—I have to say that Dr. Kovich is one of Trek’s best characters.
obarey
I think that drug was new age bf. Mycorrhizal network is a cool new discovery in biology, fungal threads that connect the whole plant community together. Someone said cool, what it if connected the universe together.
Imalwaysready
Sure, but it still doesn’t answer real questions, like “why is it instantaneous?” Or “why literal space fungus (that no one has ever mentioned before)?”
It could have been some other technobabble fibers of creation that they explained by COMPARING it to hidden fungal networks rather than literally making it BE a space fungus network.
The show would be mocked infinitely less by saying it was a “cosmological chromodynamic superstring pathway” rather than “literal fucking space mushrooms, y’all!”
TheSecondPiewackit
I just finished it after finishing SNW and LD. I genuinely don't understand why it gets so much hate. I liked it.
Kbantar
I assume the series is VERY different to all the marketing. The ads made it look like a constantly crying horribly unprofessional Mary Sue that is shoved into already existing continuity just because she's so f*cking awesome.
Imalwaysready
Very little is in an already existing continuity, though. Only S1 & S2 take place in the known timeline. Even then, it is the pre-Captain Kirk era, so very little has actually been explored in detail. Plus, they spend large chunks dealing with “the Mirror Universe” where everyone is their opposite & evil (which is one of the stupidest Trek ideas; maybe not In 1967, but definitelty by 2020 and beyond). The other 3 seasons take place almost 800 years post Picard where no show has gone before.
TheSecondPiewackit
The start of it centers on Burnham significantly, but around the end of season 2, the rest of the crew starts getting a lot more screentime. She's less of a Mary Sue, and more incredibly lucky. She cries maybe a couple times a season, if that's at all important, because crying more than Kirk =/= constantly crying. I also don't get the whole "unprofessional" thing people keep going on about. She's not even the captain for the first like 3 seasons.
TheSecondPiewackit
She's literally a prisoner by the end of the first episode, and spends the next couple of seasons in a redemption arc, trying to get back into starfleet. So I'm not sure what kind of professionalism people were expecting out of a literal mutineer.
NotACanadian
Discovery had a lot of WTF moments and plenty of lazy insists-upon-itself writing but I agree that it tried.
SNW is literally the best ST of the current era. It literally has everything old fans and new fans like. Don't see how anyone could hate it.
Lower Decks is Rick and Morty written by memberberries. I'm very sorry for this opinion as it isn't one shared by many people, but I tried my best to like it; I feel like I could have if the writers didn't insist that the show was also 100% canon.
Relkin109
I agree with your LD opinion, rough at first and trying too hard to be like other certain shows. I liked the backgrounds and overall animation, also liked the voice cast. LOVED T'Lyn and wished we had more from her. But yeah, wish it had less break neck pace and EXCLAMATIONS! Overall i'm glad it got 5 seasons and a bunch of good episodes.
Imalwaysready
On my first watch, I found the whole idea of “the Burn” pretty stupid. But on my second—well, OK, the whole ‘scared, angry kid caused it’ explanation was still pretty stupid—but the idea of a galaxy that was once so interconnected and dependent on a technology that universally betrayed them and then spent centuries in relative isolation, only to slowly try to rebuild while not fully trusting one another (or their own technology) or concepts like interdependency was actually, truly fascinating. >
Imalwaysready
But it also showed the stark dividing line between old and new TV.
For me, Trek was always a big ideas show that was bolstered by having good, interesting characters. But ultimately, their character arcs took a back seat to the larger “what if…?” ideas the show was asking. And that worked fine in an era of 22-episode seasons. But modern TV, in general (and usually for the better), leans more heavily on character development and drama—which usually becomes the entire focus in 10- or 12-episode >
NotACanadian
To Lower Decks' credit, it got that part right at least!
Imalwaysready
seasons. And I get that. But it does shift the focus of the stories to the microcosm of the individuals on the ship and relegated the macrocosm of a universe of unknowns to little more than a backdrop at times.
Like, I would LOVE to see a more traditional form of Star Trek that explores the world of the burn and moral ramifications thereof. Who still tries to reach out? Who becomes xenophobic? How do immigrants stranded in small numbers on distant foreign worlds come to terms with that and >
Imalwaysready
how do those worlds that host these pockets of outsiders treat them—especially over time as they become increasingly alien to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the locals who won’t have the exposure to freely traveling the stars like their predecessors did? What abandoned technologies or ideas (like indentured servitude or slavery) come back in the wake? What is the relationship to technology after it caused so much harm? What religions spin off of the event, etc.
I think it would >

"Das Racist" is the name of the group that made the song, "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell", guys. It was a popular meme song way back.

DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
Yeah that's all I can think of the downvotes is they thought I was calling it a racist meme or something?
TheOldSchoolisBack
The downvotes come from the impression that you had a problem with a Das Racist meme. If this is not the case, then please feel welcome to leave your bullshit over here, rather than over there.
DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
But I linked a picture of my playlist of Das Racist albums? How would that imply I had a problem with it?
