I don't think he's implying a lot of the stuff you are saying he's implying.

Anyway, I'm adopted. Hooray for me not being aborted!

>>35768
Rather, hooray for you not rotting away in an orphanage.

Dick post. What's an Aryan youth doing on a board dedicated to Star Trek, the socialists utopia?

"but for men, the best for them is not to be born at all, nor to be made partakers of the most excellent nature; not to be is best for both sexes. This should have the first place in our choice; and the next to this is, when we are born, to die as soon as we can."

This is the last one. I'm fairly certain I do not have any other Star Trek Magazines, so in order for the thread to continue someone else would have to step in with some content. Thanks for enjoying the thread everyone.

if only everything could be pornographic.

His reviews are in parts on youtube. In between his insanity there is some pretty salient critical film analysis. At least the Star Wars reviews. Sure he nitpicks some things here and there, but what sci fi aficionado doesn't do that?

>In between his insanity there is some pretty salient critical film analysis.

it's too bad he relies on the gimmicky shit instead of just writing and letting his ideas stand on their own merit

>>35699

There are hundreds of amateur film critics on the Internet. His "gimmicky shit" is the only reason we're talking about him.

It's a smart move.

>>35699

There's nothing wrong with being entertaining.

>>35699
how DARE they produce original content. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for the 9:30 showing of Transformers: Rise of the Cobra Surfer, the Squeakquel.

I would have liked for you to post a summary, or even your thoughts on the link.

That being said. I'd love to watch DS9 in HD. I probably wouldn't spend money on it, though. Netflix or brd rips for me.

As much for continuation of the franchise.

>another ermastering

Oh boy, more vertical minus. Call me when they have the actual 4:3 in HD.

>>35703
This is cool, I though I had heard they lost or destroyed the original film and were stuck with just the video renderings. Guess not!

Do it Stan Lee style. Maybe at the end of the movie they're interviewing people for their reaction to some big world saving event involving enterprise saving the day, and he's some random guy that says either how cool they are or how reckless and dumb they are. Or maybe just add him in the background as a janitor or garbageman or some civillian who gets crushed by debris.

>>35567
I don't think Shatner would settle for anything but a big role.

>>35570
really? I always figured he'd do anything if the price is right...

>>35572

There's the rub. He wants a lot of money, and he also wants to be the center of attention. JJ is having none of Shat's shit.

>>35546
What my head went to was Quark opening a dive bar in the same city Garek works in.
After the Dominion war the Federation sets up an embassy where Julian gets assigned. Of course Morn comes by Quark's bar more often than not, with a mail carrier friend in tow.
>>35544
That chair looks like something Garek has worn.

>>35603
But I'm tired of listening to Morn he is a fucking chatty cathy.

>>35626
Quark can interrupt him often right when Morn launches into a story. It can be a running gag. Problem solved.

>>35546

>Banned From Vulcan

Good album. I lost my copy somewhere. ;_;

>>35608

He doesn't really look like he's had much work done. Compare him to Joan Rivers, who's younger than him and looks like she's wearing a mask.

>>35605

>what's

>>35596
I'm so fucking gone right now I thought you meant that TNG was Picard's Nexus fantasies and the movies are the only things that actually happened. I thought my heart would explode for a minute- my whole life being a lie and all- but I'm glad to know that's not the case.

I wonder how fans would have reacted to that though? If the movies were reality and the show was the Nexus fantasy? That would be pretty intense.

>>35632

Let me try this one.

The problem with doing it backwards is that the temporality of it all gets weird. The characters don't make any sense unless Picard is trying to "re do" all of his mistakes.

Everyone we know and love seems to make it through, at least, to the end, so it can't be about saving lives.

It must be about some crucial thing he fucked up the first time through. Perhaps "real picard" is the brash, shooting things, angry child from the films, and he wishes, via the nexus, that he could be calm, diplomatic, astute and assured. Well-read. A romantic, a brilliant archaeologist.

All the things he never had time for, being a captain.

>All the things he never had time for, being a captain.

If we approach it like this, it starts to sound reasonable, because in the end, Picard almost always wins. Every episode or episode arc always ends with triumph on the crew's part, and even when he seemingly has no relevance to the plot of the ep, Picard is still crucial in one way or another. I mean, apart from being the Captain, he often has an answer for any problem that comes their way. You can say that he's just well prepared, but even the hardiest of characters when confronted with a situation unlike any they've encountered before, usually don't draw parallels that don't exist. Often the series feels like wish-fulfillment, things happening in convenient ways or people noticing things at the right time. Or not, idfk, my Trek knowledge isn't the expansive.

He even turns out chicks with complete memory loss.

>>34045
Except he did use them a couple times, and he can use them if he's playing a character in the holodeck that would use them, and his brother lore has no problem with contractions.

I don't think he can't use contractions, but rather he has trouble using them in a natural way without sounding awkward, so he does not use them as a policy.

>>35009
I like to think of it as a manifestation of Soong's programming. Lore could use contractions, and when Data was created Soong made the attempt to make Data less human-ish, so he removed all the contraction code he could find, even to the point where Data himself doesn't think he can use contractions. But Soong is a scientist, not a software engineer, and somewhere in his miles of spaghetti logic he left a few errors - remnants of Lore's speech processing subsystems.

>Worf as Garak

This is going to be good.

Still being funny.

I don't see what the problem is. The nacelles being away from the main hull has already been established as having something do with safety reasons. I recall it has something to with the radiation the things give off, right?

Some starship designs have the warp coils integrated into the hull though, like the Defiant class.

That ship in OP's pic just looks like someone decided to keep the standard "nacelles away from the hull" and have four points of contact instead of two. Perhaps it's structurally more durable or allows more power to be channeled to the warp coils.

When you have the ability to generate a spherical field of shields around a ship, the physical design of the ship matters little. As I see it, there is a lot of "dead space" to take phaser hits and not affect anything critical. Same with the Galaxy class. A big saucer to take the brunt of the impact, no doubt maneuvering itself in battle to provide cover to the engineering section.

But as to the D'deridex class Warbird? Probably the most intimidating vessel I've ever seen. The fact that it could go toe to toe with the ENT-D, flagship of the Federation. The fact that it just had an intimidating presence in general. I love it. Greatest ship EVER.

>>35576

>saucer is 'dead space' that takes 'the brunt of the impact
>saucer section contains most of the crew housing

The ship's primary mandate is to serve as a vehicle for exploration, communication and diplomacy. She wasn't built to be shot at.

The hole isn't the only problem with the design, but it is a big one. The Romulans practically had a clean slate when the D'derix was introduced, the vengeance does not have that fortune. Over all it's a bad design with a poor used gimmick.

I would have made it quad-nacelles with a twin-bird body to make the design more deliberately seem like the Romulan just double up on the basic Klingon design in order to support a larger head with bigger guns, mainly as a stop-gap measure to keep pace with the capital vehicles.

>>35365
It has Harry Kim and Vic Mignona in it. I think there'll be plenty of people to insult.

>>35494
And Monica Keena. Another blond-headed, big boobed actress to squeeze into a skin-tight outfit. I guess Jeri Ryan wasn't interested in doing the webshow.

>>35502
Yeah, I'm OK with this.

Trek has always had plenty of skin. From the TOS miniskirts and CRAZY soft lighting on any closeup of a female, to Troi (well TNG wasn't as in your face with it), to Leeta and girl on girl fan service in DS9, to Seven, to Enterprise's decontamination chamber.

>>35494
Also Ethan Phillips(Neelix). I totally forgot about him. This series will be ripe for insults.

>>35555
I'm hoping he just has a bit part like in, "Of Gods and Men". I also hope this is better than "Of Gods and Men".
