...me. It wasn't stunningly original but it hit the right notes. I don't like Carol Kane in anything, but even her weirdly timed end of the episode joke worked because it called back to the inappropriate jokes at the end of episodes where like a star system was destroyed or 7 guys died just...
I don't recall the details. Not even sure where I first heard it. Could have been a TNG dvd extra or me reading the TNG book companion where you will see people giving some behind the scenes info. I do think it was suppose to happen in the caves setting when she and Picard are looking for the...
What kind of joke? If it was meant to be a flippant suggestion as to why the tricorder wasn't working and not a serious idea, the objection to the joke must've been something else.
I remember the Vash actor, Jennifer Hetrick, wanting to make a joke about the tri-corder batteries being dead and someone had to point out to her the device didn't use batteries and I recall Gary Graham talking about being frustrated with wanting to change a line on "Voyager."
...that's lazy writing and against Gene's Vision. The writers need to earn their paycheck by making in a sci-fi thing like an alien infection that manifests itself with PTSD like symptoms instead. ;)
Yes, this is a joke referencing things people actually said during Detmer's PTSD storyline on...
...and threat of the alien. When he called her a “Lanthanite Child”…good stuff. And then she finishes off her big scary speech at the end with the joke about the photo. So good.
The fight with suddenly feral Batel was good too. If this species is so old, how old does that make the Gorn that it...
...S1, but the we have the Voyager characters talking about using holodecks when they were children. And then Lower Decks has the characters in awe of the holodecks again, even though at this point, they're not new at all. Though I suspect Lower Decks was making a meta joke about this inconsistency.
You're talking like "nightmare-fodder" is a bad thing. :)
As I like to point out, we kinda expected to SF to be scary sometimes back in the sixties. See The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, even Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, etc. That was part of the appeal.
The Outer Limits often...
...systems are green,” Erami reported, before glancing at the Orion woman with a hopeful grin, “No pun intended.”
Denella didn’t react to the joke, and kept her expression serious and her attention fixed on the antique instruments in front of her.
Inside, she was still a cavalcade of confused...
Joke as this may be (and also literally true with me as well), the fact is that the Moral Majority's attitude is from a questionable position to begin with.
It depends on an idea that shielding developing people away from uncomfortable subject matter is objectively self-true versus leaving...
...her as a technician with basic engineering skills would fit better that as a security trained bodyguard type. That said, it could be a running joke if Rand keeps taking down beautiful women whenever they get close to Kirk. Imagine her throat punching Lenore Karidian in CotK. "I thought I...
...an injunction against contradicting it (intentionally or otherwise), and I cited salt vampires because (until they started showing up as an in-joke in LD) they were probably one of the least-referenced sentient species over the course of a huge number of episodes, novels, short stories...
In the same way the upcoming Star Fleet Academy could be thought of/seen as Star Trek Discovery Season 6?
So yeah, there appears to be a precedent for things like this in the Kurtzman Trek era. ;)
If they did this continuation I would assume all the contracts would need to be renegotiated, giving them room to cut out more expensive actors/crew and lowering salaries of some of the others.
...and the ship transitioned into the original Constitution-class design by refits —but I half expect SNW to end with that kind of nod and lots of jokes about the Enterprise shrinking inside anyway.
The unique selling point of SNW was Pike’s time in command of the Enterprise. It was the untold...
