Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x07 - "What Is Starfleet?"

[Markonian]

That's incredibly flimsy evidence.

Something wrong with Star Trek: Prodigy?

That's incredibly flimsy evidence.

Not flimsy at all.

 

[Firebird]

Something wrong with Star Trek: Prodigy?

No. Pointing to a single scene from a single show as "evidence" is flimsy.

So, is it me or does tge 400-some meter length not fit with with 190,000 MT weight? That seems.. Light.

They didn't update the weight from the Tech Manual for the new size.

No. Pointing to a single scene from a single show as "evidence" is flimsy.

There was also an episode of Voyager where it happened.

I don't think it's ever explained how someone temporarily "turns off" the universal translator when they want to be heard in their own language. Is it a telepathic thing where they think hard for it to be turned off? Because we never see anyone say "Computer, deactivate my Universal Translator for the next 1 minute" or whatever before speaking in a non-English language.

It's mentioned that the Universal Translators work by interpreting brain wave patterns.

No. Pointing to a single scene from a single show as "evidence" is flimsy.

It was two episodes of Prodigy, and an episode of Voyager.

There goes the neighborhood!!

Not just the neighborhood

 

[Noname Given]

Not just the neighborhood

Especially when it goes from "Suck" to "Blow"

We're on a Trek board. Most of us, including the poster in question, know that Uhura is from Kenya even if played by Americans

Interesting that so far, the TOS, Kelvin and SNW actors playing a Russian and a Scot, whether they were from those nation states attempted the regional accent. But characters playing a Somalian and Kenyan did not make the attempt, apart from the actor playing M'Benga who I think is Nigerian. A diversity of accents would make Trek less like a future USA in space.
If there is a TNG reboot, Picard should not have a Yorkshire accent. I bet the French were insulted lol

Both M'Benga and Uhura are from Kenya.

But yeah, Babs is from Nigeria.

 

[Nyotarules]

That certainly wasn't onscreen. In the novels, it's suggested Laris did undercover work in Ireland during her Tal Shiar days, though that is also implied to be a joke.

She learned English by watching Father Ted

No he absolutely should have one.

"'Ail t'Klingons, luv"

Engage ee bah gum

I'm kicking myself now for not realizing Babs fake accent is an attempt, as a Nigerian, to play a Kenyan.

I think Picard was popular in France so I don't think they were insulted much

 

[Noname Given]

As the voice was probably dubbed BY a french actor - yeah, I doubt they noticed how 'British' Patrick Stewart played him. Hell they may have adjusted some of his dialogue in the French dub as well.

 

[The Wormhole]

He probably didn't say "merde" in the French version...

What are their censorship rules like? TV in Europe seems a bit freer on the nudity front, but what about language?

 

[Farscape One]

Rom was resetting the UT in Nog's ear in "LITTLE GREEN MEN", not turning it off. (The UTs for them and Quark were nit working properly due to their trip through time.)

I know in Britain they're not allowed to use profanity on television except for late night shows, or "post watershed hour" as they put it. It wouldn't surprise me if France had a similar policy.
