#AllStarTrek Why don't they just transport Malcolm off the hull?

@MirrorAyako @kcarr2015 @allstartrek

I think everyone was still scared of the transporter at that point, and only used it for cargo. Transporting humans was off label use. I think they started getting more comfortable with it at the end of the series, possibly from an emergency procedure they tried, but the detail are eluding me.

Stewart reciting Shakespeare would have been better.

I missed that :^( I'll have to try hunting it down.

Fantastic!

As much as it sucks, it's still better than no Trek.

Fan Made Shows/Movies?

@startrek

Any particular shows people here like watching? I've seen Renegades and a few others. I'm currently in the middle of Phase II. The special effects impress me for the budgets involved, and the writing/acting makes me appreciate the professionals more :^P I don't want to shit on any of them though. The effort is solid, and they're still an enjoyable watch.

One thing I really notice is timing in the dialog. It's one of those 'I know it when I see it' things. I couldn't do any better if I were producing it, but I can see a clear difference between amateur and professional shows. It's hard to exactly put my finger on it, but they'll hold onto a shot, the dialog will lag by a little bit, and it doesn't land as well as it could.

Horizon was pretty good...

https://piped.video/watch?v=l94v4YOqxOc

It has a weird hazy soft focus film style that I suspect is to make effects/backgrounds easier to produce. There was also a couple times I was confused, but it was a decent story and an enjoyable watch.

"He looks just like Ted, the sysadmin from Xcorp"

"That's because that /is/ Ted, the sysadmin from Xcorp" :^D

I know what you mean. I think I could work with that though. It gives it a more true life representation of people doing their thing. When combined with the other "errors" though; it makes it harder... or something. Probably best to adjust expectations, and enjoy them for what they are. Homemade Trek is better than no Trek, so it's something new when nothing else is on

I finished Phase II New Voyages... I guess... There was one episode left, and apparently they got the smackdown from CBS, and it was never released. It was getting good too. Everything was tightening up, and they were finding their footing, per Star Trek tradition. It's a perversion of copyright law. Copyright is to ensure works get produced. A monopoly isn't the end goal. Not like these shows are real competition. If anything, they bolster the franchise.

I have that downloaded, but haven't read it yet.

I downloaded a bunch of stuff from youtube while waiting at the doctors, and I need to see what I got. I must have grabbed the wrong link, and started downloading the whole youtube channel that was linked above :^D

Someone to Watch Over Me! "This creature has an exoskeleton" :^D
Probably in my top 5 for Voyager.

If Tuvok wasn't married, I thought him and Seven would be ideal together.

An episode of their dinner date that checks in on them every 10 minutes while the "A" plot was going. Tuvok and Seven at the table, absolute silence while they occasionally poke at their padds checking data. "A" plot ends, episode ends, both agree the date was fantastic and agree to another.

Remember the episode when EMH coaxed "suppressed memories" from Seven, and everything went to shit? I didn't really like that one.

I think they overplayed the space n00b presentation. While new in warp travel, he was still an elite professional. He wasn't characterized that way though.

lxskllr, 11 months ago

@MirrorAyako @sezduck @MindTGap @allstartrek

All Treks? That is bold claim. Based on my faulty memory, I might have to go with SNW. Of course they benefit from short seasons. They /should/ be better. I'd have to go through a rewatch of the series to nail it down. TNG can probably be knocked from contention. Not sure about DS9 and Voy.

lxskllr, 11 months ago

@MirrorAyako @sezduck @MindTGap @allstartrek

Don't get me wrong. The only thing I really hated was theme song. I'll happily watch it again. I'll be starting TNG soon; maybe fall, and I'll go through them all chronologically by air date. Some time next year Enterprise will probably turn up.
