Star Trek - The Shit, or Just Shit?

[Section_31]

Was never a fan to be honest, was more of a Troi man.

[Numero Veinticinco]

No! Troi isn’t nice at all!

You need to remember you're watching them backwards. Marina Sirtis wasn't always in her 60s.

I saw quite a bit of TNG when it was on the telly, but all out of order. Looking forward to getting through it. Then it’ll just be DS9 and TAS.

Terry Farrell from DS9 was always my favourite

Excellent shout. Saw her at a convention a couple of years back and she's still fit as fuck. Always liked Ezri too, she was art student fit.

As I have said, I haven't seen the later series but I definitely will now;

I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart. How much more betrayal can I take?

[Numero Veinticinco]

New episode was tidy. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

I wish she’d assimilate me.

 

[Hades]

Not sure why she had to ruin her beautiful figure with those fake plastic balloons. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

They’re not fake.

I'm casting doubt on that claim. Up your game, Boobpedia.

Boobpedia? What a time to be alive.

 

I thought the action scene where section 31 dispensed with the Klingons was excellent stuff. 

 

At the risk of sounding like a moaning fanboy though I'm not convinced with the route they're going down with section 31. The fact they've got their own badges that makes them identifiable, and that the rank and file know about their existence.

 

What made them awesome in deep space nine (where one was played by William saddler, the baddie from die hard 2 - brilliantly - was that they'd been around for 200 years and nobody knew.

 

What makes them a fascinating organisation is that the very ethos of humans in star trek is that it's a utopian society, where people no longer do heinous shit, even if it costs them their own lives.

 

But behind the scenes has been this rogue organisation that does exactly the opposite. It commits genocide, assassinates people, you name it, in order to let your rank and file human continue to feel good about themselves while staying safe at the same time.

 

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, it’s a bit squiffy. Although, she did say she was a security consultant and she was trying to recruit the guy. 

 

Still, their ship was the nuts.

In other news... season 5 of Voyager has taken a real upturn in quality. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

I'm really confused by the timeline.  I had it penned as after all of the other star treks due to the "no-one ha seen a Klingon in years" stuff from early in season 1 and the technology of the spore drive etc.  Then it turns out that the original enterprise was on it's 5 year mission during the kick off and Spock is knocking around.

It's set ten years before the original Kirk and Spock series but 100 years after Enterprise. The Klingons were in that but apparently hadn't been seen for years before Discovery.

 

Pike was the original captain of the enterprise in the first star trek pilot but was replaced by Shatner as Kirk in the second pilot. One of the reaons the original was canned was because the networks considered it too progressive as the first officer was a woman. This was in the 50s. Another reason I love start trek. It's always had balls.

Watched Episode 4 yet? 

 

I thought it was good. I'm not mad on the one-off episodes, but the character development was pretty good.

Yeah I didn't know what to make of it to be honest. It was the most TNG style episode they've made so far but in the pace that Discovery is filmed. It was okay I'd say. Van Sprang is tweeting about the next episode so He must be in it which should be good.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I think some of the individual performances were actually really good. I just wish we’d found out a bit more about the red angel stuff.
