Star Trek Best of Both Worlds
Where are the other federation ships? Where is the starbase? Why does Earth, the heart of the federation, have zero defenses?
Hadn't they already fricked them in Wolf 351?
This, but what I find interesting is how traumatic the show presents the event. There is some justification for this considering how close the Borg got to assimilating Earth, but the casualties were only like 12000 people. Meanwhile the Dominion war lost literally almost a billion on the Dominion side alone. You'd think the Federation would be reeling from that kind of event for many decades in the aftermath.
All the available federation ships got BTFO'd by then
>Where are the other federation ships? Where is the starbase? Why does Earth, the heart of the federation, have zero defenses?
Exactly, now imagine this. What if Starfleet and the whole Federation is just lying about space. Earht is flat and those arrogant Vulcans knew it from the start.
Earth is flat
Space is gay
Klingons are fake, so are Borg
Aha so THAT'S why the viewing """window""" is actually just a giant TV screen.
>trips of truth
It used to be fun to talk to people like you before it became obvious you’re just third world copers.
Look at this vile piece of shit, wake up from the Federation propaganda. Q will free us all.
Space is big and unless you’re expecting some type of psychotic megastructure there isn’t much that could be seen from a random (specifically chosen) point in space.
Too expensive to animate them is the real reason. The in show reason is they sent what they had to Wolf 359 and they all got blown up, for some reason they only had 40 ships even though the Federation is said to be a huge quasi empire but nicer.
>reason they only had 40 ships even though the Federation is said to be a huge quasi empire but nicer.
No anon. It was nearly 50 something battleships Starfleet had available in the area. But the Federation has hundreds (if not thousands) of smaller civilian and cargo ships passing through the system every day. The Klingons were also sending a fleet to help out, but Starfleet got smashed before they could arrived.
The same reason Aliens doesn't have a scene with dozens of Aliens getting shot up throwing their acid blood everywhere, the marines winning that fight, then realizing they are nearly out of ammo and there are 10 of thousands of more aliens roaming around. Thus, the decision to nuke the site from orbit would make at least some sense as opposed to calling for reinforcements.
The turret scene is literally that, it was moronic that they removed it for the theatrical cut. I have no idea what they were thinking.
Because it begged the question why didn’t they have more of them on the giant honking spaceship they flew in on.
There’s also the fact contemporary us military just calls in air strikes (or burns a town to the ground) any time they encounter resistance.
Read the standing orders anon. Read them and understand them!
>Stay perfectly quiet
>Cube gives up and leaves...
The Federation is fricking massive, it would take months to assemble a proper fleet
Unless you're watching DSN and travel times don't matter.
2d space map
>2d
To be fair, the spinning of the galaxy does flatten it into a general plane near the arms
Yeah but where the bulk of the action in Star Trek takes place you're looking at 10-15k lightyears, over a year's travel at high warp. It's enough to make a difference.
Agreed.
The Milky Way is around 1k ly thick on average, 10k ly in the middle.
>a 2D map of a spheric world
It's a fricking map, It is supossed to help you visualize info quickly.
What does discovery network have to do with space travel?

>A flat map in 3D space
>region called The Patriarchy
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Patriarchy
This region of space was never visited or even mentioned until Picard 3x01.
>Where are the other federation ships?
They got blown the frick out by the borg
Just stop with these threads, please. I'm begging you.
No
Starfleet sent 50 nearby ships in the immediate area to stop that Borg cube. They were all destroyed.
After listening to the entire Rhapsody OST at least a dozen times I as a master musician can now conclude that while at first it might seem as if the ensembles are the strongest pieces in the work, Lann (Chu) MOGS the frick out of the rest of them. The depth behind her vocals, her legibility, there's no adjustments to be made. It's pure music. Her solo was the peak performance. I am over 6 feet tall. Blonde. Blue eyed. White. I also own a Cinemaphile pass. Literally nothing you say in comparison to me matters.
>I also own a Cinemaphile pass
"Why yes, I pay to shitpost"
>imagine being a parasite who doesn't support his community
Let me guess, kicked out of 109 other social media sites?
Real men buy passu.
Cinemaphile isn’t a community. It’s the opposite of one at best.
For you, maybe. I hope you see the light.
Communities are a collection of individuals serving common purpose or holding common ideals.
You’re anonymous. So am I. Most likely I don’t agree with anything you say or think, at least from your perspective, as the only (or vast majority of) response one will get on Cinemaphile is disagreement.
Thus, Cinemaphile is not a community
We have tripgays tho.
They’re called gays for a reason.
>common purpose or holding common ideals.
The common purpose is having a site to shitpost on, at the very least. I may have little in common with fellow drivers, but we all should pay our fair share to maintain the road that gets us where we are going.
You’re again making the mistake in thinking because you shitpost, exclusively, you’re in good company. You aren’t. Most people just ignore it and move on.
I also effort post.
My shitposting efficiency is maximized behind the pass. I spend more money on take out in a week than a Cinemaphile pass costs so its nothing to me. Also I like to keep my VPN up 24/7 and the Cinemaphile pass makes that easier. I posted for years without it. I think it enhances the experience but ymmv.
Chong and Gooding both have musical theater backgrounds. Celia Gooding won a grammy BTW. Agree Chong mogs the rest.
I like how Peck's number is Bush's number, but pitch and tempo shifted to be "Cry Little Sister."
>Not only did Chapel trample all over Spock's feelings in front of half the ship she did it while singing and dancing to celebrate her going away to meet her future husband.
I come to Star Trek to escape feelings like this.
Spock will be fine. He's logical.
You left out how all of his coworkers essentially participated in the number as cheermaxed as possible. Just imagine you're one of the people in the bar participating in the cornball's roast and it's a fun scene. Also Spock's power level was starting to get too high, he needed to be brought down a bit.
>Why does Earth, the heart of the federation, have zero defenses?
same thing happened during 911, found out the US only had like 2 fighter jets to guard the entire continent. Got too complacent also run by morons.
star trek
Love that episode
i wish i had such a salt monster at home. it could be my perfect waifu. just have to have a lot of salt at home at all times.
>something wrong, captain?

Turkish Nancy was cuter.
The nearest ships formed a 40-50 ship fleet to stop it. They got buttraped so hard that starfleet started a crash program to design and build a more militarized fleet.
Who is going to pick her up? Amazon Prime? Pluto? Crunchyroll?
Walmart physical media bargain bin
it wasn't until CGI that big ass space battles were feasible for TV
>DS9 cgi from 30 years ago
>Better cinematography and action direction than nuTrek
Why are nuTrek battles such trash? Discovery Season 2's final battle is so bad you can hear the show runners saying "pew pew pew" in the background.
Because they don't want to pay people with actual writing or directing credits to their name.
who has the threading the needle webm
which game engine are they using for cgi nowadays? and what did they use in the 90s?
tng newb here. im working my way through season 1. i watched episode 9, "the battle" the other night. ferengi present the crew with picards old starship and it turns out to be a mind controlling trap. now if you were to describe the show and this particular story to someone who never seen ST it would be great, but is it just me, or does it feel so forced, stretched, wooden and unnatural when you actually watch it? this applies to pretty much all of season 1 that ive seen so far. its almost like watching middle school play when it comes to conversations and acting. when, if ever, does it get better? TOS was a little bit choppy at first, but couple of episodes in and it felt like the crew knew each other for their whole lives. TNG characters look like prisoners who are forced to be there on the set
Season 1, everyone involved is still figuring out the show and characters, keep going
Immediately improves by the second season. Patrick Stewart in particular is very stiff and weird during the first season, probably because Picard was written to be much more stern and cold.
the enterprise d has a crew of 1000 people, enterprise a less than 200 i think. so on the d you are just a number and the captain doesnt even know most of his crew because its basically a battalion sized formation, while on the a, its a company sized crew and everyone knows each other.
Fix't
When did you realize star trek was over?
When the credits start rolling.
M'benga being a cold blooded murderer is just stupid
What happened to the humans of the future being better?
There is not universe where better means perfect.
NuTrek writers to not aspire to center their work on a message of a higher moral calling like TNG did. TNG's The Wounded was a much better, more morally grounded version of basically the same story.
Now nuTrek writers create a universe where the morals are, "Nobody saw what really happened so it's fine and also he deserved what he got!"
(me)
>writers DO not aspire
my stupid ass
>TNG's The Wounded
>Background music comes in with the tune of the old battle hymn they had sung with their long dead comrades
>"I'm not going to win this one, am I chief?"
