"Elaan Of Troyius".

Gawd, that green chicken is stomach turning.
How did she eat that without puking?
She's a trooper!

Also, spanking of children has not been abolished by the 23rd century, according to Kirk.
Well, maybe it survived in Iowa, plus ST09 showed he was an extra bad little hellion.

Robert Hewitt Wolfe on what he might have done differently with DS9 (not much).

Wasn't Armus named after Burton Armus, a producer on TNG?

Came into this thread to post that video.

"The Outcast".

A couple of our posters would root for the labotomizers now.
All it would take for one of them is for of the authority persons to go "Soran contaminates children! Just by existing!".

Yep.

TNG was easily the 2nd most pro-SJW series of 90s Trek with Picard spelling out the morals most of the time and people have missed the morals entirely.

At least Dayton was honest about being into Trek for the FX.

It's a running gag through TNG-era Trek of people getting brutally injured playing parrises squares, but we never see parrises squares.
I always pictured it as like the laser Jai Alai game from Tron 1, but with a chess grid instead of rings.

I always imagined it like 4 square but with a basketball hoop.

Didn’t they have a racket in one episode?

I only remember two episodes showing players on camera and the first group looks to have space duffel bags.

De Agostini is now accepting and will be shipping orders for the Enterprise build up model. The orders will be shipped staying July 17th. And yes, you can start where you left off. So I'll be able to start from where Eaglemoss left me sad and hanging.

He's trying to figure out which video from PornHub he wants to recreate.

That looks really good and the D isn’t even my favorite ship.

Huh. I would have thought you liked the D, what with all that bending over you do for MAGA Republicans.

Take it to the Red Room.

If a racquet makes a racket like a rocket, eat some raclette.

You're thinking Bashir and O'Brien on DS9.

And the one time Paris & Kim played this weird alien game with robot crab arm things powered by human lever power with rackets at the end, and we never saw how the actual game was played there either .

Watching STB, what happened to tricorders? Every time they go into a dangerous situation it’s always phasers drawn. WTF? Why do the JJ films, Disco and Picard do this? Do they not want to know what they’re facing?

1. They didn't think to grab tricorders before the Enterprise was turned into tinfoil confetti.
2. They used the Franklin's sensors and computers for all their plot info dumping.

3) They know what they're facing. Big fuck-ass drone soldiers and a guy who isn't a Klingon but might as well be.

YouTuber Who Built Tricorder That's Better Than the Official Ones Explains How it Works

Okay, in TAS, it's claimed that the uniforms are made from a material that's basically a living organism and can self-repair. Guess what?

The Future of Fashion: Self-Repairing Clothes Made of Fungus?

Was this part of Roddenberry's "thou shalt not have zippers" hangup?

Watching TOS and I really don’t like most of the remastered stuff should’ve just left it alone.

why? the effects didn't hold up 30 years ago.

I'm looking forward to a few years from now when SNW segues into nuTOS... we've almost gotten half the crew cast anyway, so you know they're gonna do it.

Yeah, but at some point, doesn't the show just become a moment in television history where we accept that effects looked different then? Just think of the things they could do if they went full Lucas:

• Digitally give all of the Klingons TNG-style foreheads.
• Give the Romulans TNG eyebrow ridges.
• Change all non-delta Starfleet uniform patches to the delta, since the idea that every ship used to have its own patch and they were changed to honor Kirk's Enterprise has been pretty thoroughly done away with.
• Change all the monotone computer voices to at least match what every cheap Android phone is capable of today.

Also, any time Kirk shoots somebody, he says "maclunkey."
