In the TNG finale Q says that the real frontier of exploration isn't of space, but of experience. What Star Trek episodes have premises based on the most interesting conceptual questions of self aware existence?Stuff like "DS9 Hard Time" where the premise basically is "I know for a fact that I would kill a person if I was under duress, but I haven't actually killed anyone, am I a bad person?", that's some mind bending twilight zone shit.

I saw Colm Meaney at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly. 10 posts and 2 images omitted.

There is no way Jason Mantzoukas does not know what Jenkem is. And there's no way that's not the reason he insists on saying this character's name in the third person. I can only wonder how long this show will air before someone in the production chain finds out, like when they realized the acronym for Star Trek Discovery was a little too accurate.Anyway, 2 episodes into this and I actually like it so far, but part of that is STD and PrIC setting the bar so fucking low. But I think the fact this is on niceloeon is gonna help. It the "OUR SHOW IS MADE FOR ADULTS!" type of Star Trek that fucking sucks, going all the way back to the TNG movies. Everyone in STD and PrIC is a sweaty, slutty, angry, swearing, traumatized loser who learns nothing on their journeys. I am fuckign excited that this new show will be in a format where no one is allowed to say "YEAH, I WISH I COULD LITERALLY FUCK MATH!" or show a Klingon penis. And maybe, just maybe we'll actually get some fucking moral lessons and adventure.I'm not yet ready to call it good, but it's definitely not bad so far, and Rock girl is adorable.If nothing else, we will now have two entire series in which to compare and contrast if Hologram Janeway is less crazy than the real one. 11 posts and 2 images omitted.

It still has a few things to nitpick, but it's a fucking Star Trek show and it's finding it's footing gloriously. Every episode is better than the one before it. This last episode relied on fanservice a little much, but in a way that paid tribute to Trek's glorious past instead of shitting all over it to prop up a bunch of Mary Sues. Characters are starting to have their more annoying traits watered down, a mystery has been introduced to solve that doesn't seem like yet another THREAT TO ALL LIFE IN THA GALAXY!!!1!!, the voice cast on this kids show emoted way more believably than the alleged adults on the kurtzman crap.It is still, fundamentally, a kids show and so there is some limitation there (can't discuss my criticisms without getting into spoilers though), but like I said in a previous post it really reminds me of how I felt when The Last Airbender started to figure out what the fuck it was doing. My reservations are gone; I hope this shit gets Seven seasons.Also, Yet another show that uses the correct Klingon design instead of the STD leper-colony looking crap, I think we're winning guys it feels like TD is slowly being filtered out of canon in the project kuntzman has less direct control over User is currently banned from all boards >> Naomi Wildman - Sat, 08 Jan 2022 13:29:49 EST 3KLH/771 No.72004 Reply >>71793>like when they realized the acronym for Star Trek Discovery was a little too accurateplz, it's DIS, like dissing the fanbase.>But I think the fact this is on niceloeon is gonna help.

Characters are starting to have their more annoying traits watered down, a mystery has been introduced to solve that doesn't seem like yet another THREAT TO ALL LIFE IN THA GALAXY!!!1!!, the voice cast on this kids show emoted way more believably than the alleged adults on the kurtzman crap.It is still, fundamentally, a kids show and so there is some limitation there (can't discuss my criticisms without getting into spoilers though), but like I said in a previous post it really reminds me of how I felt when The Last Airbender started to figure out what the fuck it was doing. My reservations are gone; I hope this shit gets Seven seasons.Also, Yet another show that uses the correct Klingon design instead of the STD leper-colony looking crap, I think we're winning guys it feels like TD is slowly being filtered out of canon in the project kuntzman has less direct control over User is currently banned from all boards

It the "OUR SHOW IS MADE FOR ADULTS!" type of Star Trek that fucking sucks, one of the things that made TNG so magical was it was almost like most episodes were family oriented after school specials, but with fucking space battles and posing tough moral questions. OST felt more like Space Bond. Now it's all straight indoctrination, brow beating, and appealing to the lowest common woke denominator.But making it a CGI 3D cartoon series with a random rag tag crew is almost like they don't give a shit. They basically did the same show with Space Cases, and DS9 offered them the format with the Federation Academy crew that went rogue. Hell they could say they did it to wokeafie the universe by saying how imperial, racist, and sexist the prime directive is.

Does religion still exist on Earth? View Thread Reply Hide Keiko O'Brien - Fri, 10 Dec 2021 15:25:11 EST jPvOWjLq No.71929 File: 1639167911176.jpg -(28164B / 27.50KB, 474x349) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. So...I've noticed that in all the series, there's yet to be a Jew on the bridge of a Federation craft. Or a practitioner of any Earth faith.Yet religion still clearly exists in the future, the Bajorans are the obvious example, but the Klingons clearly have a defined world religion, the Ferengi have their weird afterlife, and the Betazoids have a 'sacred chalice; which implies a religious belief. Vulcans--even if its' not a 'religion' per se--have a good deal of "illogical" traditions that definitely feel like a religious sacrament.Even the Borg have their weird fascination with the Omega Particle, and 7 of 9 states a couple of times that Borg drones are essentially "immortal" as their memories will exist forever in the collective. Whenever an alien species' religion is featured, I don't think there's any human chaacters who talk about their own religion. Chakotay sort of does with Neelix in the episode where Neelix has the near death experience but he's mainly talking about meditative practice rather than any of his indigenous theology.I know that it's probably done to avoid controversy etc, Earth is a very generic utopia in Star Trek and specifics of life on Earth are often left out (and let's face it, it's kind of a boring topic for a show about space exploration) In fact, the only times I can recall humans really saying anything that indicates a faith are in TOS where Kirk talks about just having one God and they have some throwaway lines throughout the run ("God help us" etc) 8 posts omitted.

Maybe this is permitted for historical reasons, kinda like having Earth be one big Colonial Williamsburg. Also there is no inherent strife on Earth implying there was some great moral awakening in humanity after they made first contact, so humanity learned not to be dicks to each other, but also the option of a warp drive would make resource collection no longer limited to Earth. I could write a thesis on the hypothetical laws of star trek utopia, but that's for another thread.As for OP's specific question about religion in trek, the simple reason I would say it is absent is because on board any Federation crew starship they are expected to act like professionals and practice in private. Maybe it is not intentionally explored as we got a ton of alien religions to explore for the audience, or simply they didn't want to touch a 3rd rail much like Stargate avoided any discussion of Christianity.Of course the modern US Navy does permit the practice of various religions, and I think more exceptions are starting to be made in accordance with woke politics, but we will see how well that shit survives in an actual hot war. It would be more interesting to discuss if Islam is practiced in the Federation, as Islam has a huge intolerance for other religious beliefs. But then again with a warp drive the Federation could find an unoccupied habitable planet and just have them fuck off there, though it would be interesting to explore the diplomatic fallout should such a world conquer another alien race and whether starfleet would be held accountable. Its probably why starfleet intentionally keeps colonies technologically dependent, as actively violating the starfleet charter means starfleet is going to tell you "you are on your own know, good luck". And considering the number of threats they face in a star trek episode they probably won't last long if they decide to poke some bear.
