Also, the RMB.
HOW?! I'm at fault here for not clarifying. Was this at all explained in the show? I somehow didn't pick up on there being no federation. Why would Q do that? Why wasn't it addressed? Q altered the timeline, yet Picard and every-f*ing-one-else from the TNG era goes along like absolutely nothing changed?! They reference the Enterprise D which wouldn't have existed without the federation. Can someone please poke a hole in this?
Did you actually watch this season?
There's an entire episode (or was it more than one, I can't remember) about the main characters of the show trying to figure out what's wrong with the world and why everything has changed. You know, the whole thing where Seven was 'President Hansen' and Picard had a whole trophy room filled with stolen shit from conquered worlds that he famously defeated in battle and everyone constantly talked about 'The Confederation' instead of 'The Federation'.
And after a whole bunch of running around, the answer they came up with was that Q changed something in Earth's past which caused humanity to build the Confederation instead of eventually helping to found the Federation. So they traveled back in time to fix it. That is, they traveled back in time *from* the Confederation, not from the Federation because that didn't exist at all after Q's change.
You didn't watch "Penance". (PIC S2E2)
Nope, he didn't. His rant just proved it.
Game Over.
That's what the entire second episode of that season was about. The trick is, you have to pay attention to pick up on these things.
One really ought not to rant about missing information in a show without actually watching the show in its entirety. Otherwise, one risks undermining one’s rant to a considerable extent, with the added risk of appearing…foolish.
Chris Gore of Film Threat will be holding a YouTube mock trial of NuTrek for "crimes against popular culture". If anyone here wishes to contribute to the defense...
I have no wish to legitimize such a farce.
That sounds really fucking stupid.
Agreed, this is embarrassing. It's fine to not like modern Trek but "crimes against popular culture"? Give me a break ...
The crime against popular culture is that whiners like that get to hog so much Internet time for their bitchfests that target the wrong problems and offer the wrong solutions.
Also more than a little bit like a kangaroo court. I'll pass.
I like that music video.
No kidding. I remember when this happened with the "People vs. George Lucas" about the prequels and the crimes they committed.
How is this supposed to be taken seriously? Crimes? What crimes? You need a code to have any crimes.
That's a novel project...
Not quite "crimes against popular culture" as Star Trek is just one franchise with no bearing or influence on any other production or the life and perception of pop culture. Still, some should realize Gore is being Gore and twisting the knife to trigger hostile responses.
