- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
And even the first episode of the regular series in production order featured a diminutive alien the size of a human child using an actual puppet of a more intimidating alien to threaten the crew of the Enterprise with destruction, all before telling them it was all a test and offering them room temperature alien alcohol they didn't even scan before drinking in case, you know, it was a trick to kill them.

I figure that's how the aliens are going to get me.
"Free booze that looks like apricot juice? Hell, that would probably get me locked up overnight NOW."
They did do an opera version, but they felt it was too predictable and too much like all the other singing, so they did an alternate version.
Maybe it will be a blu-ray special feature.
They really didn't.
I can see that. We really should be more surprised that the Klingons singing opera heading into battle isn't already a thing without an anomaly.
Most TNG era "science" looked like the writers saw something on the cover of a Discover or Popular Science magazine, then made up some bullshit particles to explain it.
Geordi will still find a way to activate the Leah Brahms holoprogram to explain it.
Anyone notice they had a pretty impressive array of singers on-hand? This was probably the one time they would have had enough high-level vocalists an episode like this. La'an and Uhura were trained performers, and Una, Spock, and Kirk were able to carry out solo or duet numbers quite well. Even Pike, though he wasn't as strong a vocalist, managed to make his songs work.

I prefer triple purified bullshitium, better known as Fuckrium, in my science fantasy stories.Bullshitium readings are off the chart, Captain!!!!!!
Just saw this:

You’re wrong.
Just playing the album again, first time in quite a while. Ethan Peck's opening piece really is sublime!
I loved this episode and the bit when the klingons went all boy band was hilarious
Nope, but they did try their hardest to sell it as actual science. Especially the TNG/DS9/VOY actors often stated in interviews that trying to be serious about all the made up words and sell them as actual science was incredibly hard. Leave it to people like LeVar Burton to bring that mumbojumbo to live and actually make us believe that that's how warp engines work, and that the systems actually exist and work like that. It's called damned impressive acting.
Yeah, but you could say the same about any fantastic dialogue you don't necessarily understand yourself and that isn't necessarily even accurate. That's the job of an actor. Maggie Smith complaining about the nonsense lines she had in the Harry Potter movies doesn't make Hogwarts any more realistic.
Yes. Pike asks where the music is coming from.
