/strek/ - Star Trek

>>26706

It'd be a hard pillar of /strek/ to crack the whole, everyone in the Federation is an Atheist. You could have them happen across a bunch of Muslim Colonists somewhere but touching Islam in Star Trek will bring the writers more flack than leaving it alone since according to some Imams Muslims can't leave Earth.

>>26708

You can tell it's a muslim because the face is asymmetric from generations of veil wearing mate selection.

>>26725

>since according to some Imams Muslims can't leave Earth.

If these people understood Islam and weren't blindly virtue-signalling, they wouldn't be so in love with it in the first place. Remember, these are people who unironically shill for Muslim feminism, so they'd do it anyways.

When will you take the Paris Pill?

>>28200

Holy saddlebags. Thighs != hips.

>>28199

But spandex is more futuristic.

>>28314

Didn't the ENT uniforms first show up in that Voyager episode where they found the missing mars mission? If so, then it pretty much is a NASA uniform.

>>28199

>IRL people wear the most comfortable and least formal uniform they are allowed to wear.

I don't know about that, other than the TMP spandex and early TNG uniforms- most Federation outfits look pretty comfortable.

>>28304

That's his character.

>>28308

If you read >>28303 he says:

>we have confirmed Bashir is Juden

Bashir, not Siddig.

>>28180

> He bears the Federation on his back while a harpy with a flat face screeches in his ear.

What if Miles never actually left the memory implant prison, and returning to DS9 and the harpy screeching are just further memory implants to further his suffering?

>>28218

>It worked as a hidden aspect of Garak's character especially when they started revealing way too much about him ruining the mystery. He had to come off like he was always hiding something so it worked.

It's kind of like that gay Bond scenario, at heart his preference is only to chase pussy, but he'd do whatever it takes - for England! Garak is willing to get gay for Cardassia like a well trained Obsidian Order spy he was trained to be, to gain the trust and inevitable pilfer intelligence from sources of any gender or orientation.

>>28202

>Implying Miles wouldn't be given the extra weight as extra suffering

Jason Alexander will guest star on one of the early episodes this season.

>>28068

I still think it will be a Crusher/Pulaski thing. Alara will go back to her homeworld to study (or something like that) but next season she will be rejoin the Orville because she is still too retarded for her people.

>>28158

That is because it's not only a trek show but one with the strongest first season

2 days away, so excited.

>>27878

Everyone hates him. They even kicked him off the Bazinga Theory.

>>27925

For doing what?

>>28091

He probably got delusions of grandeur and tried asking for more shekels.

>>28092

He was signed up to a wrongthink blocklist on some social media site. The curator of said blocklist, being a trans-exclusionary radical feminist, was using it to blacklist a bunch of trannies she didn't like. Guilt by association, basically just another example of the left eating their own.

The other thing was that an old friend of his was accused by an ex-girlfriend of being a shitlord. Wheaton failed to immediately disown him, so that makes him a mysogonist enabler or some shit.

>>28093

Is being Wheato a fate worse than death?

>>27992

They sent him to Argentina?

>>24421

Android autism and perfect memory could allow him to mass-catalogue the facial expressions and body language of the other players and compare it to what their hands were that round. With a large enough sample size he could create a reasonable analog for human intuition.

>>28015

>Cardassian Moral Standards

>Have to shop out Dukat's ego

Do you check catalog before making a vastly inferior thread?

>>27870

Kinda. I think the Pakleds are the failed prototypes.

We want what we want.

>>27819

Everyone is smarter than Riker.

>>27924

It was Riker's fault for bringing 'the game' that almost wiped the ship. Thank God for Wesley… and I guess Data in the end. Good job, Mr Crusher.

>>27958

Do you think Riker after he spent a week on a Klingon ship picked up some idea that if endangered the ship that Picard would be killed so he could take his place?

>>25435

>Their one dimensional "dumb hulking brute" image is part of their power. They come off as so stupidly militant that no one expects brilliance. Klingon guile at it's finest.

I've actually now watched pretty much all of Trek now except that one that won't be mentioned

I kind of want to know where the impression of Klingons being savages comes from. They are anything but.

In TOS they are cunning warriors that are more reliant on their brains than their brawn. They also plan long term more so than short term with remarkable patience shown. Their relation also with the Federation is a weird one of mutual respect despite being enemies; you get the feeling that if the Federation was attacked the Klingons would come to the Federation's aid if only for the sole reason that nobody should be allowed to kill the Federation but them.

In TNG it's a mixed bag although again in most cases Klingons are shown to be exceptionally clever and cunning. Kurn alone pulls off feats of tactical genius but other Klingons also show their technical prowness.

In DS9 they seem to be underestimated at every opportunity. They crack codes that not even the Obsidian Order at the height of their power could crack, hold insanely accurate intel on Cardassian weapons facilities that nobody thought could be discovered, have insanely good warships to the point their Battlecruisers can maneuver like Escorts, and are able to hold the entire Dominion at bay alone outnumbered 20:1.

In VOY they not only manage to break free of the Borg Collective but successfully hijack a Borg Sphere.

ENT they very much an arrogant race overly confident on their superiority of others although they can be reasoned with. They are far more concerned with their own internal troubles than that of outsiders.

>>25750

>Normalfags who don't understand the show

Oh so /tv/ then?

>>25750

Klingons though were right to conquer Cardassia. In an alt future where the Warcriminal Sisko died the Klingons took over DS9 and the Dominion NEVER invaded.

>>25772

>Fanboi theory is their shipfu must be super OP snowflake vessel

Yup sounds like a Reddit theory. In reality if you take what this >>24249 nigger said there's actually a fair number of Connies, even if you take canon only you have at least 30 of them. Say the size of Starfleet's capital ship fleet is 600 this does not include all the auxiliary support ships and countless other police vessels you will have which is a fair estimate at the time and 50 of them are Heavy Cruisers that's not a small amount of them. That's 1/12 of your fleet. Keep in mind to this ratio you will likely have around 100 Light Cruisers, 150 Destroyers, a dozen Battleships/Carriers and rest made of Frigates that's a fairly average fleet lineup.

So no I would say the Connie is not some special snowflake vessel and that's where a lot of the appeal about it comes from. It's a run of the mill aging Heavy Cruiser.

Only thing worse than pointless STD threads.

>>26027

STD threads aren't pointless. They give us an excuse to bitch about STD.

Connies are gay.

That is all.

>>27701

Probably.

The animated Clerks was pretty good. It was just ahead of its time, and ABC didn't care for the raunchy humor. If FOX had picked it up, we'd probably still be watching it.

>>27695

Explain. Who is Hannibal here? Because the Romans had such a huge vengeance boner for Hannibal, not the otherway arround.

>>27885

Not true. Hannibal hated the Romans considerably. The war was fought mostly with Carthage's tepid support.

Why don't we have a Chang thread?

>>26380

>Our comfortable living standard were only made possible with colonialism, mass impoverishment and two world wars.

>Oy vey the government needs to go to war or else we'll lose our living standard

Get the (((Keynes))) out of your head goy, you'll start thinking a lot clearer.

>And since only the Feds care about it, what prevents other species from exploiting underdeveloped races? Posing as their gods, enslaving them?

Earlier in the thread someone posited that real motive behind the Prime Directive is just to discourage bleeding-heart Starfleet captains from abandoning their mission to play god to some alien spearchuckers. If we assume this to be true, than we can say that the other races never caught the socialism mind-virus and as such don't have any desire to virtue-signal by wasting their time trying to uplift some alien culture, they've got more important shit to do.

>>26383

>Oy vey the government needs to go to war or else we'll lose our living standard

I didn't say that. I meant that people don't just wake up one day and skip stages of historical development and are like "hey, let's organize our society to XYZ principles!". Every society reproduces itself, slave owners think they have a right to own another person, feudal lords think they have a right to distribute usufruct rights over this plot of land, etc. - this applies to society today, still. At least ST wasn't idealistic in that regard, they needed WWIII for humanity to unite.

>If we assume this to be true, than we can say that the other races never caught the socialism mind-virus and as such don't have any desire to virtue-signal by wasting their time trying to uplift some alien culture, they've got more important shit to do.

There are dozens of episodes (and Insurrection which is like a two-parter) where interstellar species fuck with primtive ones because they want a raw material. Now if we take the laws of this universe seriously, and remember how populated it is, there is no way primitive races are exploited literally all the time.

>>18392

Makes you wonder how many Feddie first contacts go horribly wrong within a couple of decades. How many times does someone from the final native generation just commandeer a starship and warp it into his own planet at full speed because he can't stand to see the rot and degeneration any longer? After all many planets don't survive their WWIII stage, or are knocked back to the stone age. There's got to be a bunch that don't survive first contact.

>>27890

That's what all those "human colonies" really are: if and when FC goes wrong and the population starts to openly denounce the Federation, S31 just releases a fast-acting virus into the population, their existence is memory-holed, and they ship a bunch of humans in to "colonize" the world. Can't have the other interstellar powers thinking there might be trouble in paradise, after all.

>>27891

Federation is truly oppressive.

>>27847

replicated food supposedly tastes synthetic to a lot of species. It's too "perfect" that everyone begins to notice imperfections.

Does anyone know of a place to stream TOS without the CG stuff they added in later? I'm a purist when it comes to stuff like this, and the new special effects take away a lot of the charm of the old stuff for me.

How does Samantha Wildman squeeze out Naomi without tearing herself open? Her species mixing would get her killed without a doctor.

>The brief scene of 2 cardassians watching the outdoor monitor playing the "look to the children" message is taken from "Tribunal", though with some changes. In Tribunal the shot starts showing a wider angle of the city and pans over to the screen as 2 cardassians walk into view and ends just after one turns toward the other. In this episode the shot starts as the one cardassians turns toward the other and continues several seconds past where it ended in Tribunal. The message on the screen is also playing from a different timestamp.

>In this episode the shot starts as the one cardassians

>one cardassians

Does this need fixing?
