/strek/ - Star Trek

not when he looks like that. Move on to when he grows the famous beard.

>>19974

but that is cheating

>>19977

We are exploring the unknown!

>>19977

You don't give orders, nigger. Now, bite the EPS conduit.

You have five seconds to name one example of Riker disagreeing with someone and being in the right

>>19999

nice numbers, ensign

>>19999

Riker was correct in that they had to open the shuttle bay to prevent hitting Frasier Crane’s starship.

>>20006

Welp I guess you shut me up huh

>>20006

Oh snap.

>>19972

Retarded bait question, so I'm going to answer it with another question.

Why did Q offer to make Riker, and not Worf, a Q?

>>20087

>sage

ffs

>>20087

Because according to Q humans were special snowflakes whose insatiable curiosity were a potential asset to the Q, and could be a threat to them if the humies ever evolved to a point similar to the Q. Klingons apparently didn't have anything of this sort, so the Q weren't interested in them.

>>20087

Q -"Macro head - micro brain"

Worf - "Grrrrrrrrrr"

>>20087

How is it bait, the guy in the picture above does not look like a chad.

>>20089

>whose insatiable curiosity were a potential asset to the Q

Most humans aren't that curious though. A lot of Star Trek fans aren't.

>>20135

I'm not saying it makes sense, but that's how Roddenberry saw his glorious explorer masterrace communist empire. First 1-2 seasons of TNG really only make sense when you view them as propaganda vids shown ins schools.

>>20137

Did TNG have good episodes in the first seasons?

>>20159

Conspiracy.

>>20159

Sorta, even the entertaining episodes are riddled with silly stuff

>>20159

The Binars? But that might be season 2. Why are the first two seasons considered that bad? A lot of memes seem to come from the first two seasons.

>>20174

>A lot of memes seem to come from the first two seasons.

That doesn't really preclude them not being shit though. As for why, Roddenberry had more creative control over Seasons 1 and 2 than he did of anything else in the entire franchise (including TOS), so they had a lot more socialist preaching about how much better the Feddies are than their barbarian, greedy ancestors. Also, they used those faggy one-piece spandex uniforms in the first two seasons. Which are also the origin of another meme, the Picard Maneuver.

>>20175

But the insane vision of one man usually has more character than a "properly" produced series with the "correct" oversight. I don't think they would have done planet of the niggers in season 3 or later. Tasha's backstory and the "rape gangs" would never get out of any committee process either. You can hate the message Roddenberry had but at least it is identifiable as Roddenberry versus something bland.

>>20177

>But the insane vision of one man usually has more character than a "properly" produced series with the "correct" oversight.

That's often the case, yes. Hell, that's why I can still have a soft spot for TMP despite it being such a lackluster movie. It's bad, but it's an earnest, dedicated kind of bad, and you can see Roddenberry's dedication and autism shining through. You do bring up good points about the rape gangs and Planet Dindu Funny how those ended up being different worlds. It's true that those kinds of things, or those weird tunic/skirt uniforms for the men, wouldn't make it out of a sterile written-by-committee show, but the interesting thing about early TNG is that much of the greater world had that same feeling to it anyways, despite being a product of Roddenberry's socialist autism. I think this is partially a result of Roddenberry's own dreams about the future having a certain bland quality to them–he wanted the 24th century to be this idyllic utopia where there was no money, almost no crime, no poverty, social and legal equality between the sexes (female officers getting called 'sir', and the aforementioned skirt uniform), and everyone had abandoned personal greed in favor of getting along. And this utopia, because it has no conflict, also has very few interesting things going on. Because of this, the Federation of TNG seasons 1 and 2 ends up taking on the sterile appearance of committee-written setting despite being the earnest fantasies of a single hippie.

>>20178

Without war, hunger, and disease the fire of life goes out.

>>20178

It's not a skirt, it's a fucking tunic.

>>20227

I thought it was called something like a skant?

>>20227

That is an extremely outdated and sexist attitude lieutenant. Besides you look good in a skirt.

>>20375

>current year, double standards under the façade of "equality"

>23rd century, true equality and no judgements, whether you're black or white, Klingon or Ferengi

>>20375

Why did Scotty never wear a skirt?

>>20379

Nobody could summon up the balls to suggest it to him.

>>20591

I think Scotty would have worn a skirt to frighten the Klingons.

>>20379

>>20376

>>20375

So I messed up the quote a little

https://youtu.be/tzE7P3KPi4I

>>20379

He did wear a kilt in his dress uniform.

>>20733

Rumour has it that Scotty is what kept the Klingons at bay. There is nothing more frightening than a man charging at you, skirts flapping up in the air, dangling his great big bayonet at you.

>tallest guy on Enterprise

>incel

You don't know how women work, do you?

>>22126

I just want that $$60,000,000,000 reward.

>>22126

Vash sounds like vag + gash. The character is a bit of a cheeky cunt to boot. The name fits.

>>22121

>6'4"

>Tallest guy on the Enterprise

Ship of manlets, no wonder so many things went wrong.

>>22168

>Dr Soong built Data to be 5'9

>he can never grow

That sick fuck. He created an artificially intelligent being just to suffer as king of the manlets forever.
