The original Star Trek Beyond Enterprise-A? I mean, I agree that's a beautiful ship, but the Prime Constitution refit still feels more right to me. Maybe it's just the decades of exposure, or knowing that the Beyond ship is "too big". Yeah that makes sense. And yeah, I guess it's ... okay if...

"Making it all fit" is the problem IMO. I can accept that some things are looser than others, and I don't get why that's so hard to do. The Defiant in Enterprise is brilliant work, and for the sake of revisiting something from the past in an immediately recognizable way, it was also the best...

There's nothing to do with the Kelvin timeline, but I'm sure the Romulan who shot JFK has something to do with why the Enterprise looks dirty and doesn't have spikes on the bussards. Except that that's nothing, and also SNW fits into a very specific space in the sequence of events that were...

Leaking lubricant!

Damn, I had no idea it was responsible. No animator in the history of animation would agree with you, including the ones actually working on this series in the 70s. The studio wasn't paid for good, the animation was never meant to be good, and it isn't.

Every second gold. The work of the truest of craftsfolk. Believe me, I completely agree. And the single barrier to entry in appreciating all that quality work is the animation.

I don't really know what you're talking about but it's definitely worth pointing out that no one has ever watched or considered watching TAS for the sake of the animation. The fact that Filmation was the lowest bidder to produce the most rudimentary sliding transparency motion and lip-flapped...

I wasn't very socially plugged in at the time so I really have no idea on that last question sadly. I feel bad spoiling all those things now. X ] STO is Star Trek Online, an MMO-like game where you do missions and buy starships. Since it's monetized around the ships and players want to...

I've been a bit down on SNW this season, so I gotta say that this latest episode, I don't have an awful lot to say about it, but it was a well-executed and novel TOS plot with Discovery-era action, which is to say SNW being its very best self, and I enjoyed every second.

Scarier for them than for us at that rate I'd think, but the original meaning was a composite monster from Greek myth, which is what's being referenced here. There is a successor Manticore class, named for another composite monster. It's also not a very typical Starfleet ship. It's got crazy...

And I still haven't actually finished my rewatch either so I might not be caught up to where you got on, although nothing about this story thread has been "quick". It's an annoyingly common sentiment I hate to find myself agreeing with, but I'm finding on this watch that I like Odo an awful lot...

A small spoiler, but uuuugh indeed. 😭

I'm not sure if you're following what TM2-Megatron and I are saying, but you're not showing any sign of it. Just knock off the hero worship, nothing is ever as simple as you're trying to make it. A lot of people contributed to what Star Trek was, from the very start.

I genuinely don't know what would lead you to think that. Unlike the additional seasons of TOS that exist in your imagination, the early seasons of TNG that TM2-Megatron referred to actually exist. And you're not even engaging with his point, that Roddenberry's presence isn't a binary on or off...

You know, the first thing you're going to hear about Roddenberry in any carefully researched documentary of him and his role in Trek history is that one of his biggest successes was the mythology he created around himself. (There's no doubting his influence on science fiction equals someone...

Okay who am I (and Memory Alpha) missing here. Rios is a human main character, singular, in a current Trek show and who smokes like it's nothing. As far as I can recall he's the only one. Raffi vaped on some kind of psychoactive alien plant in a vaporizer, but that wasn't a human custom to...

Yeah, Trek is consistent across the generations at least on that front.

I can't find this TOS reference to acetylcholine, but if it's in there, they made the mistake of using a real neurotransmitter with known properties. A quick look at Wikipedia says it doesn't work that way, although one of the effects of nicotine is to selectively mimic the effect at particular...

Fair enough!

And she was looking great for like 60+.
