    Star Trek: Picard

    Alternate future Harry Kim trying to fix the destruction of the ship is one of my absolute favorite episodes of any series. That is just such a wonderfully dark little episode and proof positive that Harry didn't have to be fucking awful. But Voyager's stinkers do stink.

    Star Trek: Picard

    If Voyager would have had Garak he would have been in a single episode and that would have been that. That's the difference between DS9 and Voyager. DS9 recognized opportunities and Voyager didn't. Their writers/producers/directors/whatever just weren't very good so you got a lot of episodes...

    What's your craziest sexual experience thread?

    I think in that story the guy ended up in the hospital with a hideous bladder or kidney infection and almost died. Had his extra money carefully hidden in his suitcase and every dollar of it got found, husband (pimp) demanding more money, all kinds of crazy shit.

    These ramp decks had a sticker price of what, 500-600 dollars? That represents a good amount of buying/trading for a lot of players. When you get a bunch of cards ejected from the format that deck you put together both lost value and also no longer exists. Start buying/trading to put together...

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    It's far more fairy tale than science fiction but it's got I think an effective start and end. "In the future no one can get away with murder so we use a goddamn time machine to dispose of bodies" accompanied by no explanation as to that state of affairs makes for a strange premise. Having a...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I like "USS Valiant." That's the episode with Starfleet's Hitler Youth getting their shit fucking wrecked by the Dominion. The captain's doing meth to stay awake, the first officer is a mega cunt and they all go down in flames when they try and technobabble a solution like they're main characters.

    The Crazies from 1973 by George Romero https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069895/ There's proto elements of both Day of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead (including a number of cast members) including a very Romero style of editing and cinematography and I really liked it. There's a viral outbreak in...

    The Dax symbiote was placed in a completely unacceptable host!?! AGAIN!?! And she wants to be transferred to the previous host's duty station!?! We must intervene! Wait, is Commander Sisko still there? Captain Sisko? Send her some vitamins and a book on breathing techniques. That's fine. This is...

    Star Trek: Picard

    The finale of DS9 has that weird clip show bit towards the end that just eats up time and where no one "remembers" Jadzia plus the final confrontation being between Sisko and Dukat doesn't work all that well. Kira and Dukat are in direct opposition almost the entire show. Honestly, it would...

    Unfortunately that first silver costume cut off her circulation so she doesn't wear it that long. Not like the brownish catsuit is bad or anything but it's not quite as fetish-tier as the silver.

    In the current climate I'm not sure anyone would be brave enough to write many stories that didn't also include what you should think about the themes presented.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Boy, that's almost a cruel stat to bring up if anyone at the studio or distributor thought Picard would have TNG levels of reviews. I'd bet even Voyager fucking dumpsters that shit on the daily.

    If anyone hasn't watched his performance of Rocket Man it's amazing. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is also wonderfully bizarre. Also I unironically love his cover of Common People. It's my preferred version of the song.

    He's been dealing with ultra nerds for a half century. He remembers when Star Trek conventions were brand new and he was doing them. I can get him being a grump on twitter. He's probably been pitched tens of thousands of "you should do X with Y" nerd shit.

    What fight? Do they make a living wage? In general, yes. Out here their income is right next to median income with robust benefits thrown on top. That's not bad for one certificate and one undergrad degree.

    If you scroll through the thread waaaaay back you'll see a post by me of the same thing. One of the dudes I see movies with came up with that explanation walking out of the theater (the ass) and it basically fixes the entire last act.

    When she taunts Cage about how long it took him to get out of the stretcher (that she was already out of lightning quick due to several repetitions of practice) she has her full powers. We see the antenna monster that powered her back up a little later on. The entire final action sequence where...
