well I'll be dipped in shit

I never expected this to go beyond the bare minimum for whatever legal bullshit this was about.
Good on them.

Honestly, after watching this week's episode, I am willing accept it if I all previous tv and movie canons and that this is a day zero reboot series.

Also, having this line of thinking make sense as you can let go of the TNG aesthetics and the technology timeline.

>>61944

So it's good star trek if you make yourself forget to compare/associate it to the other star treks?

That's still pretty weak brah

>>61945
If CBS just admitted that it's not prime, then it would instantly be like 10x better in my mind.

No, I mean like, those lame spergs who categorize things, not us cool stylish spergs who keep a pedo fanfic discussion alive for years and improv write bad smut about misspelled characters.

Diana Troy has opened her big box and now the Hellrazors were there.
"We will show you things" said Pinrazor, the leader of the group.
"I already have seen the sexy times because I am psychic said Diana.
"We are not sexy times"he growled, his pins swelling with horny anger.
"Not yet."she countered as her naked sex got more aroused
Pinrazer gulped.

Oh shit someone did actual math on it.

I was just kinda guessing with a calculator.

>>61753
That's crazy. I just assumed when someone mentioned it that they had seen the video and were referencing that. I actually first saw this on /b/ as a webm a few months ago.

>>61555
I always thought that was a neat bit, even if it was so obviously bizarre.

In fact, I always thought it was kind of disappointing how stuff like that never actually happens in the show itself. The intro hints at the potential of Voyager.

>>61555
What, and Kelemane's Planet was normal? Piss off.

I managed to watch the first episode of this and it's actually pretty decent. I have a feeling it's not gonna last long on FOX though.

>>61902
First episode is trash.

>>61904

I myself have yet to review it, I have seen every other episode thus far.

>>61904
The first episode spends a lot of time developing the ex husband and wife dynamic and was pretty bad. but the second episode redeems and justifies it IMO. Episode 3 I'd skip but its not as bad as episode 1. After that they've all been great though.

Buy Induction or Gas.
For the love of god avoid the goddamn high thermal mass ceramic electric range like I have. It's less precise and useful than a camping stove. I was burning or boiling essentially everything until I got an infrared thermometer. It's absolute trash.

>>61919
Agreed brother. Any chef worth his salt will know that gas is superior to electric.

>>61926
Yeah I really want to get an induction stove top. They seem pretty awesome. We used to have a gas and I really liked that too. I haven't noticed much with electric besides when I'm cooking dishes in a big pot or a lot of meat it won't cook evenly. But in that case I like to just bust out the cast iron skillet.

>>61928
I have like 5 different iron skillets, they are mildly annoying to keep clean but I do 90% of my cooking involving pans/skillets with iron cookware. No Teflon, which is good because you tend to eat a lot of that in a teflon pan, but bad if you forget to keep the iron lubed up with a medium heat cooking oil (which is all you have to do). As the above poster said, they also help to regulate the uneven temperatures produced by electrical stoves, but once they get hot they take a long time to cool. All that being said, iron cookware is about the only kind I even replicate nowadays

I'm Guinan, and I support cast iron cookware.

>>61929
My cast iron Dutch Oven is the best piece of equipment I have in my kitchen

>>61870
It just felt like a Klingon trial episode to me. How many fucking Klingon court cases are there in trek? This is merely another

>>61895
Interesting you should say that, because the guy who played the Klingon lawyer in DS9 has a role in the upcoming episode of The Orville. I don't think there has been a single episode without someone from Star Trek involved, thus far.

Personally I really enjoyed episode 3, but whatevs.

>>61921
Awesome.
I love that episode. Its one of the more memorable DS9 episodes and he was excellent in it.

>>61921
Sorry dp, I just realized he's the admiral. Cool beans.

Dude her hair is beyond glorious.

I can't show a picture of it because the bridge lighting on this show is shit, but it's godly. Grace Jones ain't got shit on this hair.

Star Trek: Touched by an Angel

>>61863

>show me on the doll where the angel touched you

>>61863
That episode where the angel of death went HAM on that pedo was great. Also that time where that girl teleported Jack Black to a desert in the middle of nowhere in order to save Melissa Joan Heart from being raped or something. Kinda annoying that every episode had to end with someone being converted. not a fedora or nor a practicing Christian but even back then when I was one that sort of bugged me

>>61901

>the true nature of the angels is that they need to feast on converted souls, pic related

post yfw you realized that the Devidians and the malevolent psychic alien force in Voyager's "Coda" were the same motherfuckers

>>61880
In this analogy, it's more like being thrown a stale crust with no butter in sight. Star Trek is character and concept driven. STD is not, but had some actual character bonding in this one episode. Better than nothing, but not something that will sustain you.

>>61881

>The show is making an actual turn.

I'm seeing a lot of people say stuff like this, based on the tiniest of evidence. And what are you basing this on? One character dropping a cussword. Where is all this completely unwarranted optimism coming from? It reminds me of psychological tests where they'd give people some sort of control console, and a goal. But the console was just doing random shit and didn't accept input. Turns out most people convinced themselves they were having some sort of effect. This also happened with a defect 747, where the crew lost control. They kept trying, and kept telling themselves that they were having an effect. Until they crashed into a mountain. People who do not exhibit this effect are often also depressed. Hence the term "depressive realism".

This show is turning about as well as a 7474 with its controls blown out.

>>61917
After tonight's episode I think it actually may be making a turn. It just took them way too long to get everything established since they wasted two episodes on the shitty pilot.
Lorca is going more and more rogue by the minute, which keeps stuff interesting.
Also, I gotta believe that Lorca had predicted that the admiral would have been taken prisoner or killed.
I was half expecting him to destroy her shuttlecraft and blame it on the Klingons.
My only gripe is that it was silly for the Vulcans to send their most valuable diplomat, Sarek, out on a shuttle with only 1 guard. Normally you would think that he would have been escorted by a big powerful ship. But that seems to be a recurring theme, as Lorca did the same in the episode before. That's not that big of a complaint though.
Oh, also the cosmic mind meld thing again. I guess I can live with it.
Also, I want to do Tilly in the butt. She got a big ol booty.

Alright this new episode pissed me off
A FUCKING HOLODECK FUCK YOU NO. How the FUCK did they just make a fucking artificial mind meld machine in like 30 min?! Why would a FUCKING ADMIRAL go to a Klingon meeting with only two fucking guards wtf are you retarded did you not even consider whether it might be a trap wtf WTF
Michael's dialogue is fucking terrible as usual, but I can see how the character might become better, but I'm not holding my breath. Lorca is probably the only redeeming part of this episode
Also wtf was that last shot? He had a phaser in his belt?! WHOaOAaOa so dramatic fuck you CBS. Also fortune cookies are a fucking gay thing for the captain to be know for, cant even come close to Earl Grey or a baseball, or shit, even coffee

Well to be fair, I don't think they'd written in all of O'Brien's combat medals at that point.

He's essentially a perfectly good backup for either Worf or Geordi.
O'Brien is a guy who can beam you off your own bridge through shields and beat the shit out of you.

>>61676
Yeah, but that's part of my point. O Brien in season 1 was a weaker choice than Geordi. They gradually built him up when the character did well. If you retcon someone badass you can't then blame the writers for ignoring shit they hadn't written.

But also that I genuinely do think he grew as an engineer in time. Geordi was always an engineer. Right out of starfleet. At the end of the day if I was captain of a star ship and I got assigned either of them to my crew I would not call up admiralty and say "Hey, you didn't give me a good head of engineering candidate". I'd be all "WOO WEE".

>>61680
O'Brien is just Geordie with working eyes and a sex drive. Think about it. Laforge never really got the poon, but O'Brien has a wife and a kid. The whole deal.

I think, as the evolved, Geordie became more of a wunderkind, while O'Brien is more of an everyman who worked his way up. Geordie was always gifted. O'Brien seems more grounded and probably had to study and work a lot harder to get where he was. At the same time, he arguably has it better off socially than the guy who has a robot as a best friend, and would be considered an Aspie if the writers wrote him more realistically.

tl;dr - Laforge is an Aspie with social skills while O'Brien is just an everyman who works hard and will get fucked up on a night out with the boys.

And yeah, both are great to have on a ship. Both get shit done!

just saw "If Stars should appear," and I have to say, it's real scifi, quite good, surprising really

oh dear, I must away with this blood wine!
