/strek/ - Star Trek

This is true even to this day, Black and White tv's can have 100% pixel fill which even modern tv's can't achieve. Not sure why mention this unless you are going to talk about the pilot episode?

>>29582

He said black and white anon though not sure what this has to do with anything.

>>29507

>I believe I've said this before but I have come to the conclusion that anyone who rants and raves about how great TOS is especially over TNG and DS9 has never watched it.

I think it's a generational thing. TOS was certainly hit-and-miss, but the rest of the sci-fi TV landscape in the late 1960s and early 1970s was miss-and-miss. Sci-fi fans who grew up in that time basically had nothing else to watch.

Biggest misconception here!

Star Trek was made for Americans :^)

I always thought that Kirk's faux reputation as a sex-hungry machine was a result of some strange conflation with Roddenberry's life.

>>30038

Liberals are known degenerates.

>>29224

>Bashir and Garak

That relationship is a lot easier to portray as 'sexually tense' even flirtatious - until you remember that Garak is bored as hell and just turning up the hamminess to entertain himself with the closest thing he's found to intelligent company in a long time. Besides, everyone knows that Garak/Tora is the only actual love story in DS9

>>29174

The Eugenics Wars can't come soon enough. I'd even accept Benedict Cumminbutt as Khan if that's what it took.

>>29269

I always call him Bentdick Cummysnatch.

>>29269

There is only one true love for any Cardassian and that is the State

Tabloid journalism for you.

>>29653

That's fucked, but not as fucked as the way Angelina Jolie is raising her kids.

>>29674

She has kids?

>>29723

She laid eggs.

>>29806

>Also dear god tell me one of them isn't a chick now?

The best part is the Talosians in TOS were all played by women with male voices overdubbed as a deliberate casting choice to make them seem more alien and give an effect of "antisexuality."

So in a way, STD is undermining its own "muh diversity" agenda by stripping out that interesting antisexual quirk and making them very blatantly male and female.

>>29832

..

>>29908

I wondered if they tried making the nuTalosians androgynous, but completely forgot about/ignored the fact that men and women have obvious differences in their skeletal structures.

>>29907

If they had green skin and wore purple, would it be intentional?

>>29908

You can only be transgendered if there is something for you to be "trans-" from. If there were no sexes, then everyone would be cisgendered, which is obviously not acceptable.

>>29433

Dr. Samuel Johnson's right about Olson Johnson being right.

>>29769

>>29824

Lol. It's just bantz, faggot. I fucking love the Irish.

>>29900

They're fun. I love watching Irish Buzzfeed. Somehow it's actually interesting when they do it.

/strek/ should change it's motto to "We'll take the niggers and the chinks, but not the Irish!"

In a more enlightened age it becomes obvious that you don't need toilets when you already have showers.

That's the name of the new Sanic movie unironically.

>>29943

Imagine a Sanic-Trek crossover?

>Moments like this make me wish every Trek series took place in its own universe

The Scotty paradox; did Scotty retire and get trapped in stasis while believing Kirk was alive and well, or did Scotty drink himself to death believing Kirk died on board the Enterprise-C and he couldn't save him…

>>29945

>The Scotty paradox; did Scotty retire and get trapped in stasis while believing Kirk was alive and well, or did Scotty drink himself to death believing Kirk died on board the Enterprise-C and he couldn't save him…

What happened is that Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelley decided that dignity outweighed the need for a paycheque and turned down showing up in Generations as the writers (Ronald Moore and Brannon Braga) originally planned, Walter Koenig and James Doohan decided that the need for a paycheque outweighed dignity and accepted the offer to be the replacements. Either Moore and Braga totally forgot about the Relics plot despite Moore also having written that episode, or they just hoped that nitpicking nerds wouldn't pay attention to that plot hole.

Sorry to break immersion and all, but let's not pretend that Star Trek plot holes are the result of anything but writing, casting, or budget issues.

>>29945

Perhaps Scotty knew damn well Kirk had such massive balls and over inflated sense of self importance that he would probably manage to come back to life at least once. And he was right technically.

>>29956

That would be a great story, Kirk fucking his way back into existence.

>>29840

The irony is that every reiteration piled up more viewers than the source show. We are laughing at people, laughing at people, laughing at STD.

>>28366

I'm not bothering with it. Too much hassle/I'm too lazy to bother with torrents or whatever.

>>29835

At the time of writing that post, the Short Treks were not even on Netflix. Apparently, Netflix got them for free like a month afterwards, and then they hid them in the "Trailers and more" section. CBS initially expected Netflix to buy the rights to the Short Treks for non NA distribution, but Netflix refused. Netflix eventually got them for free with the deal to distribute Season 2 outside of NA.

Since Discovery has (somehow) been approved for a season 3, I do not know if Netflix will cough up the money again, or Netflix will just go "if you want non-NA viewers, you're going to have to accept our deal".

That all said, streaming services have gone to absolute shit. First it was just Netflix, but then Disney did their own thing, HBO did their own thing, CBS did their own thing, now the UK broadcasters are joining forces to do their own thing as well. That's not forgetting Amazon who ties their weird subscription to their "Prime", which is total bullshit and anit-consumerist. Soon, you'll have to have something like 5-6 subscriptions to watch whatever you want.

>>29840

Holy shit, I'm loving that pic.

>>29840

I'm glad somebody saved my shoop

>what if bad writing is actually good writing because of things that were never shown or even alluded to?

Yeah. It's clear Voyager never happened. It was all a Barclay adventure in the holodeck.

>>29758

>It was all a Barclay adventure in the holodeck.

There wasn't nearly enough dicking involved for that.

>>29758

I think it's interesting that a show like Star Trek could design some very high-concept constructs but then hand them off to oblivious sitcom writers. Intentionally partitioned like that, ideas can potentially build up from and around the audience, instead of filtering down from showrunners hiding their hand.

Maybe.

>>29759

Maybe the dicking was just all offscreen?

>create holodeck fuckfest

>every so often run out of jizz and need to take a break

>have the computer create a ship, generate a crew of various crazies and losers, and toss it across the holo-galaxy

>in between bouts of debauchery, take a look every so often at what antics it's getting up to on their way "home"

>>29765

Okay but what was his self insert, if the real point of the show was to have a couple of unobtainable waifu's while you dick every lass on either side of the marque issue.

>>29647

Most of TNG season 1 was more interesting than that snoozefest that was season 2

>>29651

The madmen they really want the show to die don't they?

>>9528

> Shatner does his finest dramatic over-acting! when the crew realise he's acting weird

That was entertaining as fuck.

>>9528

Fuck you m8. Also Janeway and Gumby proved women make terrible captains. None of those are even bad episodes and backdoor pilots were common as shit back then. The only truly bad episode of TOS was the Alternative Factor. Spock's Brain is stupid but its horribly enjoyable.

>>29478

We will get creatures not waifus out of it anon.

>>29478

What we will have some random girl in her underwear for Kirk to look at then Bones somehow being the one to bone her?

>>29478

I misread that as Jewish State there for a moment.

>>29381

>animated comedy series

STD is already an unintentional comedy, God knows how an intentional comedy would look like.

>>28928

Marc AyyLamo supposedly said he enjoyed Cardassians so much that he wanted to appear as them again. He gave a powerful several hour long speech during which the producers had to change their pants several times due to having arousal accidents that by the end they designed the whole race based around his physique and character.

>>29134

>He gave a powerful several hour long speech during which the producers had to change their pants several times

Now that's a true victory.

>>29155

That's just Marc Aliamo.

>>28928

>They didn't get a proper first contact, just an offhand mention that they recently had a border skirmish with the Feddies.

Nigga, the skirmish in the teaser happens after Picard shares one of his war stories.

>Maybe if there was a Twilight or a 50 Shades of Grey more than once a decade

Can't they just rewatch the old stuff forever? It's all the same shit.

>>29300

That's because Mr Darcy is a stud and every girl wants a rich Aristocrat Boyfriend who treats them like shit yet a Princess.

>>28674

>descriptions for the reboot movies are much longer than the ones for the OG ones

Makes you think.

>>28676

>I could say the same about the guy (I forget his name) from Generation and Shinzon from Nemesis though.

No shit, everybody pretty much agrees that they are bad-to-shit. First Contact, too.

movies. >but getting angry about women existing is probably the dumbest thing to be angry about.

>Here is a list of the footage that was added to the theatrical version to create the 1983 "Special Longer Version".

* Decker asks Sulu to take Ilia "in hand". He then gives her a brief explanation of the computer. Ilia reminds Sulu of her celibacy oath, and Decker tells Ilia "the captain didn't mean anything personally", and Ilia says she'd never take advantage of a sexually immature species.

* After the wormhole, and after Decker, Bones, and Kirk depart for quarters, there is another short Sulu/Ilia exchange about current speed and current heading. Ilia then confirms it. Both these scenes were apparently shot to provide a sense of romance between the two, but were cut to clear up Decker's same relation.

* Rather than Kirk saying, "Make your point, Doctor" when discussing the obsession with the Enterprise, there is one brief exchange, and McCoy gives his line in a medium shot, rather than a shot of the two standing side-by-side.

* During the attack on the Enterprise, the ship actually gets hit by an extra energy torpedo. We hear it, and the lighting also suggests it, but we never see it. Some minor scene extensions are added. There is also an alternate take of Spock's analysis.

* There is a short scene in which Spock reveals the frequency of V'Ger's transmission. This appears in the Director's Edition.

* Decker takes over Chekov after his hand is burned, and a female crew member takes over for him. Decker goes to help Spock, and we return to the theatrical footage of the second (or third) energy torpedo being fired.

* Chekov returns to his post after a humorous exchange from Bones, and Spock reveals that V'Ger emits more radiation than the Sun.

* The famous footage of Kirk shadowing Spock during the space walk sequence is included.

* There is an alternate take when Nurse Chapel gives the Ilia-probe Ilia's headband.

* The Ilia-probe mentions the creator is "on the third planet". She then removes the headbands, and asks why two carbon units have entered V'Ger. Bones replies that they wish to contact it. Decker asks if V'Ger has a problem with that, and Ilia says no. V'Ger will find out their purpose. Bones sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Is it just me but is Star Trek The Motion Picture and The Final Frontier almost the same story just told from different directions?
