Yeah probably, none of them have extra fingers. But wow did someone screw the targ with this poster.

wtf did they use AI to generate this poster?

JRPGs are like 50% book so I say we still count it.

They were the best of frenemies.

Hey, that’s awesome. I never even noticed while watching LD bc they spent so much time just expanding Orion culture in general. Such a good show.

For real. That show could easily have leaned into making fun of Star Trek just for being Star Trek. But the writers chose to punch up instead and just point out the obviously absurd from an in-universe perspective. Like the idea of ships having giant store rooms to put all of their doomsday weapons alien artifacts, and then ENSIGNS of all people being responsible for cleaning/maintaining said room and artifacts.

Oh, yeah, I’ll give you Vulcan. Do the Xindi all count as one species? I took them to be six (well, five now) distinct species that all evolved on the same planet. As for Andorians, I guess they have the Aenar but Shran described them as a “sub-species”. Not sure if that was racism on his part or not. Orions I’ve never seen portrayed as anything but green.

An alternate universe version where Bashir is a sentient hologram but yes, yes they did.

He’s so good at portraying Garak that I seriously can’t tell which recurring guest star is my favorite. My current top three are him, Jeffrey Combs obvi, and John de Lancie.

Klingons seem to be the only alien species in star trek that has multiple races/ethnicities. Every other alien i can think of all wear identical makeup/prosthetics. Klingons get a whole range of appearanes.

Just learned from another thread that “feringhee” is a disparaging term for whites/europeans in India.

Something that I noticed about these is there is a fairly wide gap in quality between the cheapest landlord special vertical blinds and the “nice” vertical blinds. The nicer ones are fairly thick so they hold their curve and dont get AS jumbled up as the cheap ones. But more imporantly they dont crack just from looking at them.

I watch it for the same reason I watch William Osman. They do a lot of fun bullshit videos like trying to watercool a server rack with a swimming pool.

Oh, yeah that’s cool but I’m curious to see the adventures of Captain Ransom. Engage the core!

Yeah, definitely. I think they struggled with only having like 3 hours of runtime per season (once you strip out credits/recaps/etc). I really hope we get a comic or something that continues the story.

Lower Decks made this idea central to Mariner’s character development. https://youtu.be/yPQof8OySdM

What do you mean chef riker. Enterprise was cancelled after season 4, episode 21 and nobody can convince me otherwise!

Shit… this means I might end up enjoying STD in like 10 years. Please don’t tell me I’m gonna be an STD fan.

Maybe its a fish mongrel

I haven’t busted out the special feature on my blu-ray in a while but from what I remember, TNG used far fewer special effects. They were mostly practical (physical models on strings or poles, for example). One example of a complete replacement that stands out in my mind is the crytalline entity. They talked about how bad the model looked in HD so they were forced to try and recreate it, but just modelling it as it was looked pretty bad too so they added some extra spines. I can’t find the blu-ray specials but I did find a news segment interviewing the studio that did the actual production work. Really cool vid, I hadn’t seen it before. https://youtu.be/dPHP5izB8MU
