Star Trek Thread: Nemesis 2: Nemeses, etc. (Part 1)

Canned air just seems too simple a solution for Star Trek. More likely is Geordi has to rig up the transporter to specifically transport only cat hair. And also involve the main deflector, because the main deflector can do anything. Probably use it to propel a weaponized hairball to defeat some hostile god like entity that has cat allergies.

as a tv nerd i always say that advanced planning is overrated and overstated especially for supposed grand multiseason plans and i also prefer the production of an active tv show on real television where the writers can adjust over the course of a season in reaction to the audience anyway

that said, for planning 10 episodes of a streaming scifi show

good lord lol

  • Rylee Alazraqui as “Rok-Tahk,” a Brikar and an unusually bright eight-year-old girl. Rok is a bit shy, but not when it comes to her love for animals.

  • Brett Gray as “Dal,” 17 years old and an unknown species, he fancies himself a maverick, who even in the toughest times, holds strong onto his unwavering hope.

  • Angus Imrie as “Zero,” who is a Medusan: a noncorporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. Since others would go mad at the sight of their true self, Zero wears a containment suit they made themselves to protect others.

  • Jason Mantzoukas as “Jankom Pog,” a 16-year-old Tellarite. Tellarites are known to relish an argument, and Jankom is no different. Regardless of opinion, he will always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides.

  • Ella Purnell as “Gwyn,” a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat who was raised on her father’s bleak mining planet and grew up dreaming to explore the stars.

  • Dee Bradley Baker as “Murf,” whose age and species is unknown but who is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts.

Jason Mantzoukas as “Jankom Pog” is one of the funniest sentences in the english language although it will be interesting to see a regularly characterized tellarite

I choose to believe that there’s simply no way this season could involve time travel. There’s just no way, not again.

Seriously though, HIGHWAYS?

The failure to imagine futures that are in any way different from the present is one of the worst features of modern syfy

This is awful. Not that cannon should rule all, but they established in DS9 and Voyager that there are planetary transporter networks and antigravity is basically free so if you’re using a vehicle it’s one of the cheap plentiful shuttle craft.

i figure there are people who would get pleasure driving down the pch in a convertible or something but as a system of transportation it does seem ridiculous

to be fair it seems like the premise of the season might either be sending the cast to the past or to an alternate timeline so there’s that

Fun fact: Until Picard season 1 there was at least one time travel episode in every season of Star Trek ever.

Unrelated: Still very much enjoying The Greatest Generation. I’m in the middle of season 4, and this has been a consistently pleasant listen while I’m at work or cooking.

“Doctor Spocktor, nice to meet you”
“Please, Spocktor was my father’s name - you can call me Doc Spock”

I think it’s a weird case of the fictional character being so popular that he absorbed the name recognition from the actual historical figure

Discovery’s Paul Stamets is named for a famous mycologist

I just think Doctor Spock is tremendously unfulfilling in terms of how it sounds. Like hearing the first 3/4 of a song
