Like this is more how I imagine the captains and admirals would wear their various medals versus how clean all the Trek ones are:

benjipwns · « **Reply #1501 on:** October 06, 2018, 10:42:20 PM »

Brezhnev awarding himself the Order of Victory is the kind of thing I totally imagine an Admiral Janeway would do.

VomKriege · « **Reply #1502 on:** October 06, 2018, 11:00:27 PM »

Picard is the sole recipient of the "Winner of the Wolf 359 battle" medal.

Himu · « **Reply #1503 on:** October 06, 2018, 11:03:55 PM »

That also makes it look military which might prove detrimental towards peace keeping

Himu · « **Reply #1504 on:** October 06, 2018, 11:06:43 PM »

What about these uniforms Benji?

Solid black with a little color on the shoulders and gray collar.

I prefer it to the gray top one.

Ideally I’d only like captains and admirals to have a gray top uniform.

In The Motion Picture, Kirk does initially have a special Admiral uniform that he changes out of to wear a crew uniform.

Actually, in the TOS time they at least wear medals and ribbons still. During "Court Martial" and then during the briefing scene where all the flag officers meet in VI the various captains, commodores, admirals, etc are wearing their awards. Spock, McCoy and others also wear them with the early dress uniforms on TOS.

I forgot about that. I always loved that look in the TOS films. That uniform is up there when it comes to Trek uniforms.

Do we agree that VI is the best Trek film?

toku · « **Reply #1508 on:** October 07, 2018, 01:20:57 AM »

Those red film uniforms could still work today. Really great example of good design.

DS9 is cool but boy the stinker episodes (some of the SF one offs and alternative realities) are not just half pretending to be bad.

Himu · « **Reply #1516 on:** October 12, 2018, 12:20:22 AM »

I liked every episode in the series in some way besides Move Along Home even if I can admit some weren’t the best.

I watched the first episode of Enterprise and wow. Really impressed with everything here. I’m already hooked but want to finish Voyager first.

Himu · « **Reply #1517 on:** October 12, 2018, 12:23:45 AM »

The Trek crew honed their craft nearly twenty years and the production/direction really shows in Enterprise’s pilot.

Chronic and Stoney might be right about ENT!

VomKriege · « **Reply #1518 on:** October 12, 2018, 07:08:19 AM »

I see Move Along Home mentioned quite a bit among the worst DS9 episodes but I honestly didn't think much of it apart it's mediocrity. Miles better than the one where Jadzia falls for a guy on a planet shifting back and forth from the material plane. Anything with aging makeup (true for all Treks or any piece of film really) is bad too. The mirror universe DS9 is just corny (Avery Brooks as a sedated psychopath

).

Worst performance so far : The Starfleet guy / Benjamin's friend doing liaison for the federation citizens on the other side of the Cardassian border. I cringed at how wooden he was.

Himu · « **Reply #1519 on:** October 12, 2018, 08:19:54 AM »

To be fair anything relating to the Mirror Universe is wack to me. Which is why Disco fell flat for me once it entered the picture. When it comes to Mirror Universe episodes of any Trek I just sigh and try to be positive the next hour.

And as bad as those episodes are they never get as bad as Data/Lore episodes or TNG holodeck episodes. I can stomach Mirror Universe in gulps. I can’t stomach fetishization of 21st century culture three centuries into the future. I don’t watch Trek for fucking Sherlock Holmes or Casablanca ripoffs.

Himu · « **Reply #1520 on:** October 12, 2018, 08:32:36 AM »

That said the original Mirror Universe TOS episode is fantastic because TOS works as Twilight Zone-esque sci-fi storytelling and that ep has those particular finger prints all over it.

The TOS one is fun for the novelty and because Evil Spock still being Spock works well.

Just as a heads-up, I'm "Chrono" never "Chronic" - that's a separate affliction.

And the final season of ENT is FUCKING AMAZEBALLS. Just skip the last episode. Seriously. Like, the same way you can skip the last two episodes of EVANGELION.

Chronic Vore, resident Borean in Japan, has a whole other, better connotation and I think chrono should stick with it.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go put a little bit of chronic in my mouth and suck til I drop.

Back when they cared about set continuity.

Edit- It's so early I confused this with Trials and Tribble-ations. Maybe I should go to go back to sleep.

So is the baseball ep.

“Klingons decided all tribbles must be killed.”

Worf really shines then.

I'm not sure I love it but there's a lot of hilarious parts. Probably worth it just for the "Those are Klingons !?

" scene.

Did what I’ve never done before and that’s watch Space Seed and Wrath of Khan back to back. Incredible experience.

Wrath of Khan is so great.

Khan, Voyage Home, Undiscovered Country. I think I like them all equally. So hard to pick!

My dream Star Trek game would be like wind waker but in space and with more islands (planets). No map like Mass Effect. That wouldn’t be trek. It needs full space exploration, space battles, going into dangerous nebulas.

I think I could make a great Star Trek rpg.

All that from people who said they made voyager to “respect gene’s vision” as they green lit an episode where starfleet walks a sentient life form begging for his life down to sick bay under armed guard so he can be murdered as no one raises an objection after he spent weeks socializing and working with them. Fuck Voyager. Fuck Janeway.

Himu · « **Reply #1559 on:** October 18, 2018, 11:11:02 PM »

Watching voyager has made me realize that most of my complaints with tng were nitpicks. I can’t stand the voyager crew after Tuvix. I find them completely unethical and have gone back to watching some TNG. I skipped most of season 7 so I’m going back to that.
