I may have gotten lost somewhere but you're define your consideration of bad writing by quote marking something you made up to prove what point?
Oh I'm sure. Whether it be some consideration for the writing or just the nostalgic beat of something. I'll even admit that I do enjoy Insurrection, which is apparently a rare opinion most of the time. I also like TFF, which might just point to some of my tastes sucking.
The similarity in terms of tone. Though for something bad in my opinion, I can actually give that entire "Godsend or God's End" back and forth that wastes time and sucks the seriousness out of the scene for no reason outside of jamming a useless joke into the film. I'll admit humor is subjective but the scene could've been cut out entirely to save time and keep focus on the severity of the threat.
I'm always struck by how much the cut of that dress is similar to the female uniform from TOS. Especially the Dress Uniform version seen in "Court Martial".Star Trek has been ripping off other properties since 1964. It wouldn't exist with out what came before and what came after.
Whose excusing bad writing? @Campe even calls it a "misfire".
They were quite LITERALLY repetitive (Berman & Braga recycled scripts.)
Both. I mean, it's not like they haven't ever worked a character singing in before:
And that wasn't even the only time in TOS. Or even that particular season in TOS.
Remember how the action stops dead for Uhura to sing “Beyond Antares” during The Conscience of the King?
It's a beautiful song, really.
I want you to put that side by side with the clip i posted and tell me which one is from Star Trek.
Either the one with the Vulcan or the one with the Borg lady.
The idea that every frame of footage shot for Star Trek has to shout STAR TREK! is absurd. And you look absurd trying to make it.
Nobody cares what you want, especially when you bark it out like an order.
Back to defining "real Star Trek" again aren't we?
Either the one with the Vulcan or the one with the Borg lady.

Oh, I get it, if it's from before 2005 or from the Fanwank Mess we got in early 2023, it's True Star Trek. But nothing else.
Yawn.
Both? One is on the Enterprise, the other has the fucking Borg Queen standing there. They are both recognizably Star Trek. And don't make me trot out clips of Picard on the Stargazer from the beginning and end of Season 2 next to clips of the TOS cast 1. In a Nazi movie, 2. In a Roman movie, 3. In a weird Western world, or 4. On a nuclear aircraft carrier, aka a nuclear wessel. Because I will.
Or the TNG cast in a 1940s noir setting, a 20th century casino, in the 19th century, amongst coal miners...
