>he advanced bajor 1000 years in a mere 50 >he brought water to the bajor desert and didn't want a single statue >he kept them from turning their only habitable moon into a nuclear dumping ground >he kept the cardassians from abusing their position
he was a fricking saint you stupid c**t
15 million Bajorans died in the occupation, and Bajor's total population is 3.8 billion. Which means annual rate of occupation-related deaths is 1 out of every 12,666 Bajorans per year. That's less then the holocaust death rate which was 1 out of every 1,533 humans per year. Seems like a fair trade for the advancement of the Bajorian people by the just and great Cardassian government
Does Starfleet punish or arrest people for questioning the number of Bajoran deaths?

Doubtful, most would consider it a controversial theory on recent history but not carw since they're not Bajoran and knows nothing about Bajoran history. It's more like questioning how many people died during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria. They might find your critical thinking skills lacking and not give you more responsibility of course since the occupation of Bajor is fairly well documented even by the Cardassians

I still wouldn't send them any money or supplies. Let them fight their own battles.
The actual conflict is that Gul Dukat was in charge of the occupation so he took responsibility for that project. He was proud of the work they did and felt like it was more humane than just killing everyone. But he is also a scheming, egotistical butthole. In summary, he's a complicated character. Shouldn't have turned into Space Hitler when fans began to like him but he was always going to end up destroying himself with his ego. But morons on Cinemaphile just post that he did nothing wrong to get replies, which is worse than ignoring the show entirely. Get a life, and it should worry you that a fan of Star Trek is saying this.
Dukat never cared about being humane. The occupation wasn't about being humane. It was about being the god of a space plantation of laborers and sex slaves.
This is a real possibility, hence my comment about Gul Dukat being an egotistical butthole. But he's good at justifying his actions like a leader/politician would be.
he did nothing wrong during the occupation, certainly, but he did a tremendous amount of shit wrong after that. >betrayed cardassia to the dominion, which essentially destroyed their empire, their homeworld, and their society and has left them as nothing but a wasteland that will need federation support to rebuild, making them forever a vassal state >aligned himself with fricking malevolent warp demons so he could have a DBZ battle with sisko >got his own daughter killed
There's nothing wrong with slaughtering lesser beings and taking their lands, property, and women for your own, and forcing the survivors to be your slaves and amusement. The Almighty told his chosen people to do just that.
“But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”

The two thousand year old word of god transcribed after a thousand years then split into multiple contradictory interpretations all of which contradict themselves therein. I won’t argue for literal interpretation or a lack of flaws with you. Christian people are good people who do good expecting nothing in return but peace in death. Atheists and other deists are degenerate and self serving. It doesn’t matter if it’s real. It will make you better

maybe you should try actually watching the show instead of browsing grindr
Nah. Picard is the reason to watch the show. Everyone else is support cast, even in their near solo episodes. Data is the next most interesting character and the rest of them are a little too Meh, to comment on. I cringe a little typing this but even O'Brien is more interesting than most of the rest of the cast combined. They all have their moments but for being consistently interesting it's Picard, Data and O'Brien. B. Crusher is sometimes interesting as is Troy. Worf is sometimes interesting but then we get those awful bog down episodes with him and his son Alexander. Westly Crusher is sometime interesting but comes off as too much of a dweeb instead of a young man.
The real problem with the entire franchise of Star Trek is it was always trying to be a mix of Woke For It's Day crossed with the Space Navy. (The creator and writers seriously admit this if you listen to them.) When the crew acts like a real navy in space it's a great show. When they act like space pussies/goodeytwoshoes, it's a cringe show.
woke was invented after occupy. 60s/90s "progressive" was about setting aside differences. Woke is about focusing on them.

Its tied to the fact you won't leave a place you're completely unwanted, a place you don't even like. you made a target of yourself.
I just watched the episode where he got to relive his life as a lameoid and his performance review with Riker and Troi was gold >I want to do command stuff, I’m sure I can do it >naw, you’re lame >b..but I know how to captain and stuff >no, go away
Makes me think it’s more about who you know, y’know?
I wasn’t struck by how well it was written, but I enjoyed it. Some highlights: >hewman, hewman play damjat? >y’know I really do owe Q a debt of gratitude. I got to bang one of my oldest, dearest friends when she was young and firm and she’ll never know about it in this timeline. Also, that wasn’t the first time I encountered some surly Nosicans. The first time I was stationed on Starbase 17 and we decided we’d run a train on this Orion slave girl and, wouldn’t you know … [credits roll]
well maybe it was trying to show Jean-Luc's influence on his subordinates at the same time. Yes he is different for not being in command but also everyone else is different for not being commanded and mentored by Jean-Luc.
>Makes me think it’s more about who you know, y’know?
obviously not, that performance review was just Picard being told about blue shirt Picard's performance, its not like they were evaluating his performance in that moment. In some ways that day was a one when blue shirt Picard genuinely could have shown his ability to command had there been some emergency like when Troi has to assume bridge command. However in blue shirt Picard's timeline, that day when he was literally captain material passed by uneventful resulting in what could've been his last chance to ever prove he wasn't a loser passing by without anyone noticing.
He's the guy who has to go to all the boring assemblies/meetings/nonsense. You know how annoying it must be to go to your 5th redshirt funeral of the week?
Thank you. Someone finally recognizes it. As the show went on my hatred for Riker only went up. Coincidentally, I happened to watch a White Shadow rerun and kekd when I saw him in it.
The reason Riker's character seems useless as the show goes on is that as RLM says his character arc technically ends at the end of season 3, "The Best of Both Worlds" which refers to Riker having attained "the best of both worlds" after Picard has been kidnapped, being captain of the Enterprise. But when they save Picard and he declines promotion to captain of another ship to remain first mate, his character goes back to square one and never develops. Stewart was thinking about leaving the show but ultimately doesn't.
Seriously, yo.... I'm binging TNG now and so far all I'm seeing is Picard hiding in the ready room with his Earl Grey Tea, or sitting in the chair saying "Engage"
All the while, when it come to the actual day to day duties of the ship's operation, it's Riker that's basically being the Captain telling everyone what to do.
The real mvp and literal heavy lifter is Data. He's the lynchpin and literal difference between life and death nearly every single episode, even after he's nerfed a bit. The crew would have died a hundred times if Data wasn't with them.
Riker's real purpose was to be handsome and charming for the women at home to swoon over. The same character played by an ugly or mid actor probably wouldn't have been as well liked.
Data is my favorite character but the writers leaned a bit too heavily on him for an easy conflict resolution. Like if you tallied up each crew members' Ws over 7 seasons they would be 90% shared by Picard and Data.
Nobody loves the characters until they watch a dozen episodes of them
In most cases but The Big Goodbye was an excellent showcase for why the TNG cast is so loved.
remember that entire episode where it was found that Riker turned on his fellow crew mates and left them trapped after killing a bunch for a fricking deranged captain? then at the end he was court martialed but nothing happened after that?
i hated the episode where the captain taking over after Picard was captured had to treat Riker like the big baby he is and plead with him to fly a craft. Riker sucks ass
I love gaping plot holes like that. Like that DS9 episode where Garak completely loses his shit, murders half the landing party, then he’s just back in his little shop hemming pants a few episodes later.
Riker was straight out of the Academy and an ensign. He didn't know what was going on; he just protected his captain. Furthermore, he does the right thing in the end by turning on Pressman and exposing the illegal cloaking device.
What in Ferenginar did you just warp factor say about me, you little ensign? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Starfleet Academy, and I've been involved in numerous away missions on strange new worlds, and I have over 300 confirmed diplomatic negotiations.
I am trained in Starfleet protocol and I'm the top first officer in the entire Federation Starfleet. You are nothing to me but just another redshirt. I will beam you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this quadrant, mark my stellar coordinates.
You think you can get away with saying that nebulous hock to me over subspace? Think again, squirt. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of Starfleet captains across the galaxy and your warp signature is being traced right now so you better prepare for the ion storm, maggot. The ion storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're getting torpedoed, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can seduce you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my beard.
Not only am I extensively trained in Starfleet strategy, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United Federation of Planets and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable butt off the face of the galaxy, you little drone. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your plasma torpedoes.
But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn Klingon. I will photon torpedo fury all over you, and you will drown in it. You're banished from the holodeck, kiddo. Make it so, number one. Engage.
Tell me you know it was a shitty pilot episode without telling me you know it was a shitty pilot episode... Wait... That's exactly what you did tell me, isn't it?
most people who like star trek don't actually give a shit that it is star trek. Even during the absolute height of TNGs popularity the actual trekkie portion of the viewers is like <10% and the rest are just regular ass people tuning in every day to see a fun space show.
Syndication homosexual. The fact that only two network shows beat a syndicated show is insane. Hell, beating Wheel of Fortune was thought of as impossible at the time.
It's good from s1e1 and only gets better. However there are several shit episodes across the series including in the later seasons. Watch the highest rated episodes in each season or something.
How old are you, dude? "Start at season 2 or 3" has been a thing with TV shows for decades. People even say to skip season 1 of the fricking Simpsons. If you like campy old sci-fi, start at TOS and just keep watching. If you don't, start at TNG season 2. It's not like you're modding Skyrim or something here, it's not that complicated.
>the modern stuff is hard pressed to recreate
The 60s had the undercurrent of the space race and the scramble to develop post-WWII decolonized Global South type countries. Exploration and frontier type shows really clicked with the zeitgeist then.
In Current Year, exploration is more about data and information than physical space, at least in the mind of the zeitgeist. We barely know anything about the ocean. SeaQuest needs a gritty reboot. By which I mean the captain should be played by Gritty.
Watch the pilot and keep in mind it had a troubled production. Then skip to The Big Goodbye. If you're still not onboard with the cast then the show may not be for you. Star Trek and especially TNG is a very character focused show. If you don't love the characters, you won't care what happens to them. And that means there won't be any dramatic tension.
bs. TNG is worth watching from episode one. Just because a series doesn't immediately peak doesn't mean it's bad, and also those first episodes set up important plot points. Try and stop being an ADHD riddled zoomer moron.
And yes, you get into Trek by watching TNG, then DS9, followed by VOY or ENT (interchangable viewing order between those two imo). Then you can try and watch TOS if you want but be warned it is very, VERY dated. But the TOS movies are worth watching because of the heightened production values. Beyond that, don't bother. Watch JJ Trek movies if you want, they are watchable. Disc, Picard, Lower Decks are all irredeemable garbage.
TNG is better. It's just better in every way. The production values, the acting, the storylines. TOS is good but it's goofy and half the storylines are eyerollingly generic because they literally invented those tropes, but if you are a sci-fi fan you've seen them done better 1000 times. I think everyone should watch TOS but most people are just going to be put off trying to watch it as their first trek series.

Then he learned that 80s audiences were far more fickle.
Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul
You never let me cross to the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
But I lost your love, heart and soul
The tear in my heart (more than an ocean)
As you walk on by
I feel so low and your head is high
Everything you do
Convinces me more (keeps us apart)
Please, give me love, give me heart and soul
Looking to the day when I saw your face
(I feel a tearing in half of my heart)
I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race
You moved in a way that I've known before
Now I want your love, heart and soul
Tired eyes, tears that dried (Leaving you ain't easy now)
On the bed, on the pillow (Loving you's the harder part)
Where the love has died
A turn of the key (you never want me for myself)
Through the door you go
Don't look back (now I've needed you)
(Right from the very start)
To hurt me more
Everything you said was to the point
Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to)
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
And don't you make me
Beg for more (must I beg you?)
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul
okay i've watched ds9 probably about 7 times completely and the last two runs have been on a CRT and if you're going to have to believe me here that everything about the visual elements of the show are made specifically for that form of display. it's the most cutting edge star trek i've ever seen visually; the washed out light/haze over almost everything in the show is actually luminance on a crt; the textures on the costume and makeup look SUPERB. everything they learnt in making TNG was doubled down on; i think it's why the show had a strong start regardless of the poor acting; that the visual effects and ambience would have shone so strongly. you absolutely must experience it if you can my fellow anons.

LeVar Burton was the most famous and recognizable of the cast, between his work on Roots and Reading Rainbow. The tabloid was reaching to capture eyeballs.
Surprising how La Forge wasn't given more to do early on if his actor was already famous. I think Burton got third billing after Stewart and Frakes, which would imply he was the third most important crewmate. Did he ever get more than 1 or 2 focal episodes per season?
>I think Burton got third billing after Stewart and Frakes, which would imply he was the third most important crewmate. Did he ever get more than 1 or 2 focal episodes per season?
He was supposed to get a lot more focus as the OMG BLIND PILOT HOW COOL IS THE FUTURE!!11!!eleven character, except I think that the costume made it practically difficult for him to deliver. The thing was legitimately blocking his vision. I am surprised he made his marks at all.
I didn't like DS9 for the longest time, mainly because I hated the look of Cardassians, and can't stand Ferengis, so I never watched. I finally gave it a chance this year, and found out it was really pretty good. I still hate Ferengis though.
Reminder that Tuvok was the only Voyager character to have an on-screen mirror universe counterpart and that he appeared on DS9 making him the only mirror universe counterpart of a regular character to ever appear outside of their counterpart's "home" series.

Watching that many movies and TV shows has melted his brain. Forcing yourself because of your Youtube Channel means you'll praise slightly less awful shit.
The perfect show would be The Sopranos but Star Trek: The Next Generation. Picard seeing Troi for his stress-related blackouts. Riker always fricking up and endangering the mission no matter how many times Picard gives him responsibility. Dr. Crusher as a hypocritical Starfleet mom. The adventures of the Enterprise-D's glorified crew.
>in a TNG ep Data says something like "ah you are referring to television, a human form of entertainment that was no longer possibly by the 22nd century" >at the time I think he's crazy >35 years later it turns out he's on point
How the frick did they do it?
There's also a gag in a very early episode where Riker comments that a blind man teaching an android to draw is the most ridiculous thing he's ever seen. And here we are 35 years later when anybody can prompt an AI to draw anything.
If I was a captain. From the little computer in my quarters. I'd say 'Computer, priority one sub-space facetime with Admiral Nechayev'. And she'd be on my screen 'what is it?'. And I'd been like 'Hi... You look nice. Whatcha doing?...'
I just watched the 'sode: 'Timescape' the other night. And there's a bit where Troi is telling Picard and Geordi about how she got sexually harassed at a conference. And they all laugh about it
I dont think ive felt anything as hard as the moment where Vic turns off the holosuite on nog

Yes, exactly so. Gordon was worried he was underachieving as a pilot (despite being probably the best pilot in the fleet) and so he tried for Command as a pro forma thing. Only to find out it wasn't for him.
the real reason why O'Brien didn't want to frick her when she was de-aged is because that extremely tight pussy would have made her roastie version undesirable when she returned to normal
>hey, we should militarize some of Starfleet because there are expansionist empires with dedicated armies on our borders and many unknown forces we haven't encountered yet that may be hostile >WOW FASCIST WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE... UH, WE JUST CAN'T, OKAY!
a shitload of problems would have been avoided
That was due to limitations in cost to put a ships image on screen for CGI as well as their inexplicable "goodeytwoshoes," attitude toward star fleet. A more mature take on the series could easily have shown some humans taking a far more Imperial approach to galactic colonization vs. the non interventionist principle of the Enterprise/Star Fleet. That would mess up the narrative as well as be expensive to create, so they didn't pursue it.
The Ma Ki were underpowered pussies. That was their hook. A non interventionist Federation would have a lot of trouble competing against one that relentlessly developed weapons and detection systems, cloaking systems, high redundancy colonies that were hard to find or get to, etc. Mirror, Mirror from TOS was a lot closer to a proper Imperial take, if a little ham fisted because it pushed a narrative of don't go pushing the little weaklings around. The borg episodes when they are disobedient, super powerful, remorseless cyborgs that capture or destroy what they want was some much needed horror in the star trek universe.
NTA, but the only time I've ever had a sex dream about a fictional chatacter was with Kira. Don't remember when it happened, probably after a mirror-verse episode
>anything in existence ever

Actually a better example would have been Star Trek TOS itself. No one watches the pilot and then watches the first two episodes of the series - which are just the pilot cut up with the court drama framing it.

I’m afraid so. Truth is stranger than fiction. The only lies I recollect telling here are that I’m transgender, that I wasn’t hungry when I got that pizza, and that I consider you friends
TOS is the only good one. TNG has some good episodes, like the Riker on a Klingon ship one, the one where Geordi and the Romulan have to help each other. But Troi and Wesley drag the whole series down hard.
Favorite TOS episodes >A Taste of Armageddon >The Ultimate Computer >The Doomsday Machine

Also she gets mogged by the more powerful empath in the episode where her powers would have mattered
Sitris herself is fine by me but the way the character is written is dog shit. They should be an overpowered advantage but they’re never utilized. They should’ve had to touch someone to get a read like a mind meld
generals usually die soon after a schizo takes up residence. /trek/ is technically dead (no one makes /trek/ threads anymore) so the schizo just occupies any star trek thread he can find.
You’re best argument for your innocence is that you just spent two years “pretending” to be a pedophile to make one person who shouldn’t matter angry, and you think that one person who shouldn’t matter, is not only the schizo in the situation, but to blame for the whole situation?

I only care if I'm amused and you're upset. You wanted the threads to be all about you, you've got mod protection to shit up these threads, so here we are.
>its not me I'm not samegayging i don't spend 18+ hours a day here i wasn't even here last week and I've never samegayged
thanks for letting me know there is something past "sad." i think its looped back around to being funny again, but not in the same way it was before it was sad.
threadly reminder that gul dukat did nothing wrong
He actually did numerous things wrong, it would be easier to make a list of things he did right.
>he advanced bajor 1000 years in a mere 50
>he brought water to the bajor desert and didn't want a single statue
>he kept them from turning their only habitable moon into a nuclear dumping ground
>he kept the cardassians from abusing their position
he was a fricking saint you stupid c**t
Gul Dukat was a great man. He ended child labor and increased food rations!
literally me
And he only killed 50 million Bajorans for that progress!
15 million Bajorans died in the occupation, and Bajor's total population is 3.8 billion. Which means annual rate of occupation-related deaths is 1 out of every 12,666 Bajorans per year. That's less then the holocaust death rate which was 1 out of every 1,533 humans per year. Seems like a fair trade for the advancement of the Bajorian people by the just and great Cardassian government
Does Starfleet punish or arrest people for questioning the number of Bajoran deaths?
Doubtful, most would consider it a controversial theory on recent history but not carw since they're not Bajoran and knows nothing about Bajoran history. It's more like questioning how many people died during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria. They might find your critical thinking skills lacking and not give you more responsibility of course since the occupation of Bajor is fairly well documented even by the Cardassians
I still wouldn't send them any money or supplies. Let them fight their own battles.
Progress is measured by the value you put on an individual life, not pure “we have better tech now”.
The actual conflict is that Gul Dukat was in charge of the occupation so he took responsibility for that project. He was proud of the work they did and felt like it was more humane than just killing everyone. But he is also a scheming, egotistical butthole. In summary, he's a complicated character. Shouldn't have turned into Space Hitler when fans began to like him but he was always going to end up destroying himself with his ego. But morons on Cinemaphile just post that he did nothing wrong to get replies, which is worse than ignoring the show entirely. Get a life, and it should worry you that a fan of Star Trek is saying this.
Dukat never cared about being humane. The occupation wasn't about being humane. It was about being the god of a space plantation of laborers and sex slaves.
This is a real possibility, hence my comment about Gul Dukat being an egotistical butthole. But he's good at justifying his actions like a leader/politician would be.
Reddit is down the hall and to your left
not one single statue made in his honor why were the people of bajor so ungrateful?
he did nothing wrong during the occupation, certainly, but he did a tremendous amount of shit wrong after that.
>betrayed cardassia to the dominion, which essentially destroyed their empire, their homeworld, and their society and has left them as nothing but a wasteland that will need federation support to rebuild, making them forever a vassal state
>aligned himself with fricking malevolent warp demons so he could have a DBZ battle with sisko
>got his own daughter killed
50 million people died.
Did they die because of Dukat's policies?
No he even increased their food ration
And they won't even build him a statue
Ingrates
Only 15 million died during a 50 year occupation of an entire planet. That's only 300,000 per year. The Cardassians actually WERE pretty gentle.
Dukat later admitted that he executed millions. Source: Waltz
There's nothing wrong with slaughtering lesser beings and taking their lands, property, and women for your own, and forcing the survivors to be your slaves and amusement. The Almighty told his chosen people to do just that.
The he reformed them through Christ, Nuhammad. The old law is dead
"I came not to destroy the old ways, but to keep them."
“But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”
What is this? Babies first bible study? The two thousand year old text transcribed from word of mouth after a thousand years has contradictions. Men are fallible. Welcome to the conversation
I thought the bible was supposed to be the infallible word of God himself. That's what Christians always say when they're forcing it onto everyone.
The two thousand year old word of god transcribed after a thousand years then split into multiple contradictory interpretations all of which contradict themselves therein. I won’t argue for literal interpretation or a lack of flaws with you. Christian people are good people who do good expecting nothing in return but peace in death. Atheists and other deists are degenerate and self serving. It doesn’t matter if it’s real. It will make you better
>Christian people are good people who do good expecting nothing in return but peace in death
Horseshit. Whatever reality you exist is into the one the rest of us are in.
That’s because you have schizophrenia
>has nothing so he instantly resorts to personal attacks and saying random nonsense
When you really think about it... what was Picard's duties on the Enterprise?
>Hey Riker, go do a thing!
>...imma Capatun!
Why do you go on the internet to act stupid
Seriously, yo.... I'm binging TNG now and so far all I'm seeing is Picard hiding in the ready room with his Earl Grey Tea, or sitting in the chair saying "Engage"
All the while, when it come to the actual day to day duties of the ship's operation, it's Riker that's basically being the Captain telling everyone what to do.
You are acting stupid. Many a show's climax depends on Picard's skills in diplomacy, problem-solving and bravery.
>I'm binging TNG now and so far all I'm seeing is Picard hiding in the ready room with his Earl Grey Tea, or sitting in the chair saying "Engage"
maybe you should try actually watching the show instead of browsing grindr
Nah. Picard is the reason to watch the show. Everyone else is support cast, even in their near solo episodes. Data is the next most interesting character and the rest of them are a little too Meh, to comment on. I cringe a little typing this but even O'Brien is more interesting than most of the rest of the cast combined. They all have their moments but for being consistently interesting it's Picard, Data and O'Brien. B. Crusher is sometimes interesting as is Troy. Worf is sometimes interesting but then we get those awful bog down episodes with him and his son Alexander. Westly Crusher is sometime interesting but comes off as too much of a dweeb instead of a young man.
The real problem with the entire franchise of Star Trek is it was always trying to be a mix of Woke For It's Day crossed with the Space Navy. (The creator and writers seriously admit this if you listen to them.) When the crew acts like a real navy in space it's a great show. When they act like space pussies/goodeytwoshoes, it's a cringe show.
Why do we care about this franchise when it's been woke from day one?
woke was invented after occupy. 60s/90s "progressive" was about setting aside differences. Woke is about focusing on them.
"Woke" is whatever the person saying the word wants it to be.
woke is shorthand for identity politics
No it isn't, that post described exactly what it is: holding on to your grievances, never letting them go, and milking them for all the victimhood they're worth, because being a mentally damaged, aggrieved victim is desirable and gives you power in a politically correct society.
You are literally mentally moronic
you keep saying those words. I don't think they mean what you think they mean.
You must be mentally moronic too. It’s really sad
Seriously, what do those words mean to you? We've already gone over your completely literal/sterile understanding schizophrenia.
The definition of woke anon provided include the aside that being mentally impaired gives you extra credit. In the most literal sense, shouldn’t you be thanking me rather than taking offense? You disprove your own lies without even knowing
hah, its been a while since you've posted pure word salad
You just lack reading comprehension
>being a mentally damaged, aggrieved victim is desirable
I call him a moron and he recoils and takes offense, clearly illustrating that he was intentionally giving a patently false incorrect definition. Are you tracking?
Tell us more about this person living inside your head.
Try this at an open mic too. It doesn’t bother me. You’re just sad. And sorry. You’re what the people who go outside and experience love call a “sorry son of a b***h”
>t. here 18+ hours a day
be sure to call me schizophrenic, because you think that means "seeing patterns."
See
no need to pretend.
Pretend what? You’re fricking moronic I swear. If this isn’t schizophrenia I don’t know what is. Pretend what moron? You’re not telepathic I can’t read your mind and I don’t want to. If I wasn’t here you’d just be repeating the same thing in the corner over and over again
Pretend that you haven't been here for years, 18+ hours a day, doing this same schitck, every day. pretend that just because your name is "anonymous" doesn't mean you don't stick out, aren't easily identifiable.
You literally have schizophrenia. I’ve left for a week and come back to you in the middle of telling a random anon how and why you know they’re me. You’re a stalker. I don’t actually single any of you out when you drop the trips because you’re one big problem and none of you qualify as people
>I swear doctor, its the same guy. He's been here for as long as I can remember. I see in in the words, the pattern of them. He can't hide from me.
The very concept of your “trolling” is tied to me being a better person than you and being disappointed in you for being so much of a shitty loser. And you think that’s a win. God help you moron
Hi
Its tied to the fact you won't leave a place you're completely unwanted, a place you don't even like. you made a target of yourself.
Come do something about it pussy
Too many of us used to watch it relentlessly. I got sick of it after the first few episodes of Voyager.
I just watched the episode where he got to relive his life as a lameoid and his performance review with Riker and Troi was gold
>I want to do command stuff, I’m sure I can do it
>naw, you’re lame
>b..but I know how to captain and stuff
>no, go away
Makes me think it’s more about who you know, y’know?
Why didn't Picard just tell them about how he been brought to another reality by Q? That's pretty standard Starfleet stuff.
Why would he? Q is in charge of everything. telling the bridge officers about Q is like telling someone in your dreams that you're dreaming.
Q is always in control of everything
You have schizophrenia and you’re moronic
Sorry but X is taking over now.
I wasn’t struck by how well it was written, but I enjoyed it. Some highlights:
>hewman, hewman play damjat?
>y’know I really do owe Q a debt of gratitude. I got to bang one of my oldest, dearest friends when she was young and firm and she’ll never know about it in this timeline. Also, that wasn’t the first time I encountered some surly Nosicans. The first time I was stationed on Starbase 17 and we decided we’d run a train on this Orion slave girl and, wouldn’t you know … [credits roll]
It was a flawed episode with a weird moral antithetical to the rest of the series, with characters behaving like buttholes for no reason.
The only way to explain it is that Q 'cheated' and transported him to a universe where not only Picard was flawed but so were the rest of the crew.
well maybe it was trying to show Jean-Luc's influence on his subordinates at the same time. Yes he is different for not being in command but also everyone else is different for not being commanded and mentored by Jean-Luc.
How would they have known about Q?
>Makes me think it’s more about who you know, y’know?
obviously not, that performance review was just Picard being told about blue shirt Picard's performance, its not like they were evaluating his performance in that moment. In some ways that day was a one when blue shirt Picard genuinely could have shown his ability to command had there been some emergency like when Troi has to assume bridge command. However in blue shirt Picard's timeline, that day when he was literally captain material passed by uneventful resulting in what could've been his last chance to ever prove he wasn't a loser passing by without anyone noticing.
he's da baws
That's how command works. The captain gives the big orders while the first officer handles day to day operations.
The Captain is responsible for the numerous crew members, civilians, and families of those on board the ship.
He's the guy who has to go to all the boring assemblies/meetings/nonsense. You know how annoying it must be to go to your 5th redshirt funeral of the week?
You don't know what a captain does, do you?
goes on secret away teams
Riker does even less than Counselor Troi.
Thank you. Someone finally recognizes it. As the show went on my hatred for Riker only went up. Coincidentally, I happened to watch a White Shadow rerun and kekd when I saw him in it.
like half of tng's cast is basically just window dressing
The reason Riker's character seems useless as the show goes on is that as RLM says his character arc technically ends at the end of season 3, "The Best of Both Worlds" which refers to Riker having attained "the best of both worlds" after Picard has been kidnapped, being captain of the Enterprise. But when they save Picard and he declines promotion to captain of another ship to remain first mate, his character goes back to square one and never develops. Stewart was thinking about leaving the show but ultimately doesn't.
The real mvp and literal heavy lifter is Data. He's the lynchpin and literal difference between life and death nearly every single episode, even after he's nerfed a bit. The crew would have died a hundred times if Data wasn't with them.
Riker's real purpose was to be handsome and charming for the women at home to swoon over. The same character played by an ugly or mid actor probably wouldn't have been as well liked.
Data is my favorite character but the writers leaned a bit too heavily on him for an easy conflict resolution. Like if you tallied up each crew members' Ws over 7 seasons they would be 90% shared by Picard and Data.
In most cases but The Big Goodbye was an excellent showcase for why the TNG cast is so loved.
The Big Goodbye is a shitty ep
>RLM
stopped reading as soon as you mentioned eceleb shit. Learn to think for yourself.
remember that entire episode where it was found that Riker turned on his fellow crew mates and left them trapped after killing a bunch for a fricking deranged captain? then at the end he was court martialed but nothing happened after that?
i hated the episode where the captain taking over after Picard was captured had to treat Riker like the big baby he is and plead with him to fly a craft. Riker sucks ass
I love gaping plot holes like that. Like that DS9 episode where Garak completely loses his shit, murders half the landing party, then he’s just back in his little shop hemming pants a few episodes later.
Not his fault, it was mind control. There's already a legal precedent for that in the Federation.
C'mon, he stabbed one nobody redshirt with a screwdriver and almost killed Nog and O'Brien. He was all hopped up on cardie riot punch. Not his fault.
Riker was straight out of the Academy and an ensign. He didn't know what was going on; he just protected his captain. Furthermore, he does the right thing in the end by turning on Pressman and exposing the illegal cloaking device.
What in Ferenginar did you just warp factor say about me, you little ensign? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Starfleet Academy, and I've been involved in numerous away missions on strange new worlds, and I have over 300 confirmed diplomatic negotiations.
I am trained in Starfleet protocol and I'm the top first officer in the entire Federation Starfleet. You are nothing to me but just another redshirt. I will beam you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this quadrant, mark my stellar coordinates.
You think you can get away with saying that nebulous hock to me over subspace? Think again, squirt. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of Starfleet captains across the galaxy and your warp signature is being traced right now so you better prepare for the ion storm, maggot. The ion storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're getting torpedoed, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can seduce you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my beard.
Not only am I extensively trained in Starfleet strategy, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United Federation of Planets and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable butt off the face of the galaxy, you little drone. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your plasma torpedoes.
But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn Klingon. I will photon torpedo fury all over you, and you will drown in it. You're banished from the holodeck, kiddo. Make it so, number one. Engage.
Star Trek
star trek
Tell me you know it was a shitty pilot episode without telling me you know it was a shitty pilot episode... Wait... That's exactly what you did tell me, isn't it?
My mom like Picard (the show). What the frick? It's not even Star Trek.
most people who like star trek don't actually give a shit that it is star trek. Even during the absolute height of TNGs popularity the actual trekkie portion of the viewers is like <10% and the rest are just regular ass people tuning in every day to see a fun space show.
THINGS DUKAT DID RIGHT
>Kira's mom
>how do i get into star trek
>watch TNG, it doesn't get good until after 30 hours though
why post a spoopy set of ghotst teeth by a wine glass?
watch TOS
Just watch TNG 'Cause and Effect'.
It's only rectroactively weak by today's standards
s1 is too star trek for casuals
>We're number 1!
>Only 2 shows beat us!
Sounds more like number 3
Syndication homosexual. The fact that only two network shows beat a syndicated show is insane. Hell, beating Wheel of Fortune was thought of as impossible at the time.
original
next gen
ds9
voy
then stop
Y no Ent tho? They have faith of the heart
ENT > VOY
By a mile
Enterprise is best Trek
That's exactly what I do, next year I'll add the movies because I already love the show and even if the movies are shit I won't care
It's good from s1e1 and only gets better. However there are several shit episodes across the series including in the later seasons. Watch the highest rated episodes in each season or something.
How old are you, dude? "Start at season 2 or 3" has been a thing with TV shows for decades. People even say to skip season 1 of the fricking Simpsons. If you like campy old sci-fi, start at TOS and just keep watching. If you don't, start at TNG season 2. It's not like you're modding Skyrim or something here, it's not that complicated.
Watch TOS or DS9 then whichever shows or movies look fun to you. Trek continuity is not nearly as important as nerds would have you think.
start with TOS
also TNG's first two seasons arent bad
t. zoomer who watched TOS and watching TNG now
TOS knew how to keep my attention,
it was certainly a product of it's era, but it had a certain charm the modern stuff is hard pressed to recreate
>the modern stuff is hard pressed to recreate
The 60s had the undercurrent of the space race and the scramble to develop post-WWII decolonized Global South type countries. Exploration and frontier type shows really clicked with the zeitgeist then.
In Current Year, exploration is more about data and information than physical space, at least in the mind of the zeitgeist. We barely know anything about the ocean. SeaQuest needs a gritty reboot. By which I mean the captain should be played by Gritty.
Watch the pilot and keep in mind it had a troubled production. Then skip to The Big Goodbye. If you're still not onboard with the cast then the show may not be for you. Star Trek and especially TNG is a very character focused show. If you don't love the characters, you won't care what happens to them. And that means there won't be any dramatic tension.
Nobody loves the characters until they watch a dozen episodes of them
Watch TOS first. seriously. It's good. Same category as Batman 66 and The Twilight Zone
bs. TNG is worth watching from episode one. Just because a series doesn't immediately peak doesn't mean it's bad, and also those first episodes set up important plot points. Try and stop being an ADHD riddled zoomer moron.
And yes, you get into Trek by watching TNG, then DS9, followed by VOY or ENT (interchangable viewing order between those two imo). Then you can try and watch TOS if you want but be warned it is very, VERY dated. But the TOS movies are worth watching because of the heightened production values. Beyond that, don't bother. Watch JJ Trek movies if you want, they are watchable. Disc, Picard, Lower Decks are all irredeemable garbage.
You start with TOS if you arent gay
even if you are
Touche, but still. Youre not gonna appreciate TNG if you dont start with the superior TOS
>Touche
touche
TNG is better. It's just better in every way. The production values, the acting, the storylines. TOS is good but it's goofy and half the storylines are eyerollingly generic because they literally invented those tropes, but if you are a sci-fi fan you've seen them done better 1000 times. I think everyone should watch TOS but most people are just going to be put off trying to watch it as their first trek series.
TNG suffers hard by having families on board. Makes it play things way too safe. Also it's plenty as goofy as TOS, thats a lame criticism
I don't know what Roddenberry was smoking when he decided to have children on board the starfleet flagship. They get in to life or death situations every other week
Reminder that Roddenberry thought people in the 80s would be just like people in the 60s and accept a lot of camp and silliness with mediocre effects, which is why he thought the Ferengi would be the big bad Klingon-style villains of the series. Then he learned that 80s audiences were far more fickle.
Yeah I didnt need a reminder, I know that.
>Despite occupying just ten percent of Nygean space...
>Maybe they just commit more crimes.
Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul
You never let me cross to the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
But I lost your love, heart and soul
The tear in my heart (more than an ocean)
As you walk on by
I feel so low and your head is high
Everything you do
Convinces me more (keeps us apart)
Please, give me love, give me heart and soul
Looking to the day when I saw your face
(I feel a tearing in half of my heart)
I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race
You moved in a way that I've known before
Now I want your love, heart and soul
Tired eyes, tears that dried (Leaving you ain't easy now)
On the bed, on the pillow (Loving you's the harder part)
Where the love has died
A turn of the key (you never want me for myself)
Through the door you go
Don't look back (now I've needed you)
(Right from the very start)
To hurt me more
Everything you said was to the point
Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to)
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
And don't you make me
Beg for more (must I beg you?)
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul
>Yes. I am in fact a sentient being and not a walking chatbot.

ass trek
why is ds9 so dark
dark is cooler
The metal mesh panels are a nice touch. Tng era set design was amazing.
Cardassians
Just another way that it sucked.
okay i've watched ds9 probably about 7 times completely and the last two runs have been on a CRT and if you're going to have to believe me here that everything about the visual elements of the show are made specifically for that form of display. it's the most cutting edge star trek i've ever seen visually; the washed out light/haze over almost everything in the show is actually luminance on a crt; the textures on the costume and makeup look SUPERB. everything they learnt in making TNG was doubled down on; i think it's why the show had a strong start regardless of the poor acting; that the visual effects and ambience would have shone so strongly. you absolutely must experience it if you can my fellow anons.
I actually believe you. CRTs handle darkness better than LCDslop.
It's on a repurposed Cardassian orbital mining platform, so to make it clear it's not Federation style they made the architecture different.
Are there any podcasts out there for other sci-fi shows akin to delta flyers or seventh rule with original cast members?

>Levar Burton: The new Spock
What? Everyone else gets their crew name listed. He's not even the new Spock, Data is.
LeVar Burton was the most famous and recognizable of the cast, between his work on Roots and Reading Rainbow. The tabloid was reaching to capture eyeballs.
Surprising how La Forge wasn't given more to do early on if his actor was already famous. I think Burton got third billing after Stewart and Frakes, which would imply he was the third most important crewmate. Did he ever get more than 1 or 2 focal episodes per season?
>I think Burton got third billing after Stewart and Frakes, which would imply he was the third most important crewmate. Did he ever get more than 1 or 2 focal episodes per season?
He was supposed to get a lot more focus as the OMG BLIND PILOT HOW COOL IS THE FUTURE!!11!!eleven character, except I think that the costume made it practically difficult for him to deliver. The thing was legitimately blocking his vision. I am surprised he made his marks at all.
Will they ever leave Star Trek alone?
Who was the best character in all of Star Trek and why was it Garak?
close, but you meant to say weyoun, with dukat a close second
Oh and Jeffrey Coombs
This pic never gets old. Nutreklets absolutely destroyed when Jeffrey comes strolling in.
>Nutreklets absolutely destroyed when Jeffrey comes strolling in.
yep committing sudoku now
I didn't like DS9 for the longest time, mainly because I hated the look of Cardassians, and can't stand Ferengis, so I never watched. I finally gave it a chance this year, and found out it was really pretty good. I still hate Ferengis though.
You now remember that Tuvok once tried to steal the Enterprise. Tannedvulcansisters, our response?
Reminder that Tuvok was the only Voyager character to have an on-screen mirror universe counterpart and that he appeared on DS9 making him the only mirror universe counterpart of a regular character to ever appear outside of their counterpart's "home" series.
This better not be one of your Federation tricks anon. I’m not in the mood
He was undercover. Infiltrating that heist gang like he did the Markey. He probably Starfleet's #1 undercover operative.

Watching that many movies and TV shows has melted his brain. Forcing yourself because of your Youtube Channel means you'll praise slightly less awful shit.
The perfect show would be The Sopranos but Star Trek: The Next Generation. Picard seeing Troi for his stress-related blackouts. Riker always fricking up and endangering the mission no matter how many times Picard gives him responsibility. Dr. Crusher as a hypocritical Starfleet mom. The adventures of the Enterprise-D's glorified crew.
Sounds awful.
It’s called ds9
Vorik was better than Tuvok.
tuvix was better than Vorik
Does this count as a Riker Maneuver?
>in a TNG ep Data says something like "ah you are referring to television, a human form of entertainment that was no longer possibly by the 22nd century"
>at the time I think he's crazy

How the frick did they do it?
Everything dies
It’s like the moon landing tech. Secrets of the ancients sort of shit
When entertainment like the holodeck exists, literally nothing can compete. Nobody would bother learning or doing anything else.
That's like saying that because movies exist no one reads books
And barely anyone does anymore.
That's not true.
This. Books are still low-tech (in a good way). I prefer reading in solace occasionally.
There's also a gag in a very early episode where Riker comments that a blind man teaching an android to draw is the most ridiculous thing he's ever seen. And here we are 35 years later when anybody can prompt an AI to draw anything.
Would you an Admiral Nechayev?
Absolutely. First we'd clash, then we would become friendly and eventually there would be mating press womb kisses.
If I was a captain. From the little computer in my quarters. I'd say 'Computer, priority one sub-space facetime with Admiral Nechayev'. And she'd be on my screen 'what is it?'. And I'd been like 'Hi... You look nice. Whatcha doing?...'
Where was HR in ST? Like was Troi HR or what? Asking for no particular reason
I just watched the 'sode: 'Timescape' the other night. And there's a bit where Troi is telling Picard and Geordi about how she got sexually harassed at a conference. And they all laugh about it
Must be hard to date rape an empath
She wasn't harassed. A guy propositioned her through a joke.
I read that in Peter Griffin voice
You're goddamn right I would.
Star Trek copied X-Men
I fricking hate the Xindi episodes.
A fricking trash bag.
I've smoked bigger tar balls than that out of my bong
I pray that you get help for your addiction, weedhead

I dont think ive felt anything as hard as the moment where Vic turns off the holosuite on nog
its also just so ironic given that it happens in the final season pf one of my go-to comfort watching shows that help me spend years running away from a life I was afraid to live due to some bad experiences. I know exactly how it feels to suddenly find yourself back in reality alone in an empty room with the illusion broken. those moments are among the most painful and almost make me feel physically ill
>You stay here, you're going to die. Not all at once, but little by little. Eventually, you'll become as hollow as I am"

still the only based captain in star fleet
Admiral. He got to full-rank admiral by 2384, while "golden boy" Riker retired as captain.
>wants to make Captain by 35
>shits himself and runs back to daddy Picard every time he gets offered promotion
Sometimes you realize your place isn't command. Right then, right there, he was the best XO.
Then don´t be a command division officer. The point is he killed a promising career so bad it´s funny.
XO is still command division. Some people are better off as XOs than COs. Saul Tigh is another example.
Actually in the future people aren't as concerned about achieving the high score. Try to imagine a place where morons like yourself have reached enlightenment.
>Actually in the future people aren't as concerned about achieving the high score.
Actually that’s all they care about. With no money, all anyone has is their career. Imagine an entire star system filled with pretentious yuppies all trying to outdo each other in everything. Every day has to be some monumental accomplishment. You went to Risa? Well I was busying designing a new weather system for poor underprivileged aliens in deep space. The Federation and especially Starfleet is just an endless stream of masturbatory oneupsmanship.
The Orville explicitly called this out. Reputation is currency.
Qrd?
IIRC the episode where Gordon wants to try for command explains it in an expository monologue. If i can find it I will post it.
What’s the jist? Are they as
described?
Yes, exactly so. Gordon was worried he was underachieving as a pilot (despite being probably the best pilot in the fleet) and so he tried for Command as a pro forma thing. Only to find out it wasn't for him.
Good to know I’m not alone in thinking that
Skinny Riker™ is legit awful.

the real reason why O'Brien didn't want to frick her when she was de-aged is because that extremely tight pussy would have made her roastie version undesirable when she returned to normal
>hey, we should militarize some of Starfleet because there are expansionist empires with dedicated armies on our borders and many unknown forces we haven't encountered yet that may be hostile
>WOW FASCIST WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE... UH, WE JUST CAN'T, OKAY!
a shitload of problems would have been avoided
it seems like they dragged their heels on mass producing defiants despite being locked in the most devastating war in the quadrants known history
That was due to limitations in cost to put a ships image on screen for CGI as well as their inexplicable "goodeytwoshoes," attitude toward star fleet. A more mature take on the series could easily have shown some humans taking a far more Imperial approach to galactic colonization vs. the non interventionist principle of the Enterprise/Star Fleet. That would mess up the narrative as well as be expensive to create, so they didn't pursue it.
>some humans taking a far more Imperial approach to galactic colonization
that was the muh key and mirror universe. both were about how such behavior wasn't sustainable when you can casually make planets uninhabitable.
The Ma Ki were underpowered pussies. That was their hook. A non interventionist Federation would have a lot of trouble competing against one that relentlessly developed weapons and detection systems, cloaking systems, high redundancy colonies that were hard to find or get to, etc. Mirror, Mirror from TOS was a lot closer to a proper Imperial take, if a little ham fisted because it pushed a narrative of don't go pushing the little weaklings around. The borg episodes when they are disobedient, super powerful, remorseless cyborgs that capture or destroy what they want was some much needed horror in the star trek universe.
God, I love Star Trek. I wish it didn't suck so much 🙁
Why was Kirk so well versed in Hitler speeches?
What did he see?
nutrek
Do you think while he was admiral, Kirk would have signed some laws to ensure replicator access to sexy clothing and makeup regardless of rank?
Why yes, yes I do think that, because I too am a moronic coomer dimwit. Nice to meet ya buddy.
Admirals don't sign bills into laws.
There's only 3 left....
Who goes first? Koenig or Shatner?
Takei will live on out of spite.
Takei will die of ass cancer or a drug overdose. Then Shatner's heart will explode. Chekhovchads will win.
NTA, but the only time I've ever had a sex dream about a fictional chatacter was with Kira. Don't remember when it happened, probably after a mirror-verse episode
I want to watch Firefly. Do I watch the pilot movie first? I'm confused because it's called Serenity but so is the 2005 movie.

Pilots are sometimes the exception. No one's watching Tacy Ullman before they start their Simpsons marathon, for example.
They should tho
>what is matter
>never mind
Actually a better example would have been Star Trek TOS itself. No one watches the pilot and then watches the first two episodes of the series - which are just the pilot cut up with the court drama framing it.
But the pilot of TOS is amazing, as is that of the Simpsons. You sound like a tourist
I don't think you understand what I'm saying here.
Perhaps. You’re saying they don’t and I’m saying they should. Am I incorrect?
NTA, but the only time I've ever had a sex was with a fictional chatacter
Woohoo!
Trolling a moron who is too stupid to get the joke and takes the bait simply does not compute, friends.
this is the greatest thread ever, why isn't there one every day? should be a daily
I can't believe there's really a TNG episode where they bring a colony of primitive Irish peasants on board the enterprise

I’m 29 years old and I received a lump sum of $25,000 yesterday for my efforts here over the last year. Hardly enough for a full time living, but eliciting confessions from mentally moronic members of child pornography syndicates is just a hobby

Did any of the DS9 cast ever return in some nutrek thing?
Odo cameos as a bowl in Picard
Some of them did voice acting in an episode of Lower Decks. (Allegedly, I never watched it.)
>Did any of the DS9 cast ever return in some nutrek thing?
Nana Visitor and Armin Shimmerman did.
Oh look it's mr "I can't possibly be a pedo look at how hyperbolically I express my violent desires towards them would a pedo do that no sir can't be me sir" anon. Your posts seem to come and go and every few months. Are they associated with a relapse?
bet you ten slips of gold pressed latinum that good ol' tracheotomy timmy was an angry dad seeking vengeance
Oh I figured out exactly who he was. An old troony coworkers father who I told to find Jesus or be damned to hell. Not even a troony. A gross dude with five o’clock shadow in women’s underwear. I called him out and his response was “I’m just stuck in my childhood I guess” overt pedo. I told them they could come here and find out how I really feel. I corral you all into the discord category but you don’t understand the real game. I’ve told around fifty evil people to find this place and find out how I really feel. I make you all go
>I make you all go
HE DID IT!
>I’ve told around fifty evil people to find this place

I was about to ask who would intentionally seek out a vile disease, but I remembered bugchasing is a thing in Trek. picrel
My pedophile schizophrenic meth head skid row brother? He doesn’t have my phone number or address. This is the only place he knows to find me
I’m always here. The pedophile discord comes and goes

I didn’t invite the father. I invited the thirty year old “kid” he had clearly dressed up like girl and raped as a child, who then lurked this thread at least enough to learn my in thread name. He then sent his “daddy” who attempted to murder me irl for what I can only imagine was shame. He will now die in prison. You tracking? I wasn’t stabbed. You’d have to be able to run pretty fast or invest a lot of points in your sneak skill to stab me
Logic would imply you're just a larper making this shit up on the fly, incompetently.
Would it not also be logical to assume, given the incompetence of everyone involved, the truth is just stupid?
No.
I’m afraid so. Truth is stranger than fiction. The only lies I recollect telling here are that I’m transgender, that I wasn’t hungry when I got that pizza, and that I consider you friends
>mfw I invite all my evil mortal enemies to Cinemaphile to see how I operate and nobody shows
TOS is the only good one. TNG has some good episodes, like the Riker on a Klingon ship one, the one where Geordi and the Romulan have to help each other. But Troi and Wesley drag the whole series down hard.
Favorite TOS episodes

That is a massive overreaction.
They make it hard to rewatch a random episode. And Troi is painful, physically
>ship targeting the Enterprise
>captain, Im getting some feeling that their intentions are hostile.
Also she gets mogged by the more powerful empath in the episode where her powers would have mattered
Sitris herself is fine by me but the way the character is written is dog shit. They should be an overpowered advantage but they’re never utilized. They should’ve had to touch someone to get a read like a mind meld
Post your favorite starship design from the franchise.
He didn’t say “from your moms nightstand” anon
Let me guess, you "need" more?
pls explain why trek threads are always this way
Every general attracts the worst schizos
generals usually die soon after a schizo takes up residence. /trek/ is technically dead (no one makes /trek/ threads anymore) so the schizo just occupies any star trek thread he can find.
You’re best argument for your innocence is that you just spent two years “pretending” to be a pedophile to make one person who shouldn’t matter angry, and you think that one person who shouldn’t matter, is not only the schizo in the situation, but to blame for the whole situation?
It's a good argument. One could even say a damning one.
i mean, he ((you)) won't leave, so might as well have fun with him right?
Pizza anon sent me this picture over discord with some commentary that's so shocking, I dare not repeat it lest we go apoplectic with the vapors. I'll never be able to enjoy Rascals now that he's ruined the innocence of the episode with his salaciousness. Someone hug me.
yes, you, being you, have awakened me to the humor of dealing with, dare I say, "lolcows."
please, tell me more about this person who lives in your head
is DS9 actually the best one? I've only seen TNG
you're here too. you're part of "this community."
How about you go to the FTL threads and help report the actual CSAM instead of shitting things up here, you dumb frick. Unless you're shitting things here to cover for it, you fricking pedo .
If you question Christianity, you're a schizo. Simple as that.
but schizo are always christian because of how it lays a groundwork for magical thought.
you should've looked up what "magical thinking" is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_thinking
aka superstitious thinking
I can tell you within the first sentence it doesn’t apply to me. I’m not for literal interpretation I don’t believe in magic. If I said I did I was trolling the schizos
it applies to every christian. it clearly applies to you, from your own behavior here.
>Jesus was in my mind
so he's not there anymore?
I only care if I'm amused and you're upset. You wanted the threads to be all about you, you've got mod protection to shit up these threads, so here we are.
You literally have schizophrenia
No. It means “up to date on current events” the antithetical definitions created by oppositions of their coiners are not in the running for truth
>he's multi-device samegayging again
I’ve never samegayged one time. You literally have schizophrenia. You’re not “recognizing patterns” you’re hallucinating them
>its not me I'm not samegayging i don't spend 18+ hours a day here i wasn't even here last week and I've never samegayged
thanks for letting me know there is something past "sad." i think its looped back around to being funny again, but not in the same way it was before it was sad.
