You also missed the time Boimler died saving his ensigns and when he was revived, Ransom said something to the effect that a person doesn't forget their first death implying he also died at one point.

Edit: I think the Enterprise Kovich served on was the J.

milkisklim ,

IIRC, the arm swing he does is because of how he has to walk in his foot prosthetics. But you are right it's a subtle addition that sells the character

Dr. Pulaski Appreciation Post ( startrek.website )

I don't know whether it's a popular opinion or not, but I think Dr. Pulaski was a great character and I found her much more interesting than Dr. Crusher. I don't know if it was down to the writing or the performance but Pulaski is one of the best parts of season 2 and I would have been happy to see her character continue....

Could you please expand on what you mean by shoehorning in the Guinan scene? How would you handle it if you were the episode writer?

Edit: to be clear, I know what shoehorning is, I just want to know why you think it occured here.

milkisklim ,

Interesting and cool if true. Thanks!

Were the [REDACTED] also a result of the Progenitors? DIS s5 spoilers

So, the plot in season five of Disco is hunting down clues left behind by scientists who uncovered the technology left behind by a precursor race of alien beings who panspermiad their genetics all over the galaxy, resulting in all your favourite humanoids, like humans, Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians, as seen in the TNG...

milkisklim ,

I agree. We know that there are non-bipedal sapients (eg Tinman, Tholians, some Xindi, Belugas, etc) so there must be some species not made in the image of the Progenitors.

milkisklim ,

That is definitely a top contender!

Not necessarily dark, but I think the most tragic is "The Sound of Her Voice" where they try to rescue the standard captain on an unbreathable atmosphere planet....

Tap for spoiler

And she was dead the whole time

milkisklim ,

Honestly there is never any shame about sharing what you’ve learned. I didn’t ever think about this and now I’ve learned something. Keep asking questions and searching for answers!

The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates

Often times season 6 refers to the movies produced between season 5 and 7.

milkisklim ,

This is probably why Trill have to undergo years of training before joining, to keep their personalities more merged in.

It could also be that Dax prefers to be more passive in its relationship with its host compared to Odan. This makes sense because if the point of Joining is to gain new experiences, overpowering the host won’t let the symbiote learn.

milkisklim ,

I mean, she slept with Worf, which is the one thing she’s not supposed to do.

And like I said, there may be a difference in personalities between symbionts in how dominant they are. Plus Dax had lived through 8 pairings and knew Ezri wasn’t trained. It could regulate.

milkisklim ,

I believe this wasnt a Rebellion but a covert Dominion ploy to accomplish at least three things

  1. Learn more about Starfleet Ground tactics and operation
  2. Probe DS9 defenses
  3. Kill Sisko and other DS9 senior officers in a plausibly acceptable method, throwing Bajor into a political crisis, ripe for manipulation.

If there’s interest, I’d be happy to answer questions and turn this into it’s own post on c\DaystromInstitute

How are you on your 9th run?! I am a hundred plus hours in and I still haven’t finished my first. Do you knowingly limit which quests you choose?

I’ve made peace with the fact I am missing some quests, but I feel there’s still so much to do before finishing act 3.

(My next run will be an all owl bears)

milkisklim ,

I always appreciate your posts

milkisklim ,

I’m sure there’s reports. And as a Vulcan lady with superior olfactory senses, it is only logical to become aware of what smells may occur.

milkisklim ,

Did Travis do any formal corresponding school education while on the ship to earn a degree?

milkisklim ,

Yeah, there was no reason for an Ensign to run Ops on a ship like Voyager. It would have been great writing for after Paris gets demoted, Janeway takes the pip and places it on Kim’s collar.

Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous ( screenrant.com )

Strange New Worlds has been my favorite Trek since Next Generation, and if the quality continues, could easily be my favorite Trek ever. But with the e.p. wishing for more episodes per season, there’s a danger of diluting the show by adding weak episodes that would have never made it in a 10 episode season....

milkisklim ,

Alternatively, some of the best episodes of TNG were “bottle” episodes to fill space and keep costs down. If 90s trek had shorter seasons would we have had “Measure of a Man” ,“Duet”, or “Masks” made?

I know the days of a 24 episode season are long gone due to the increase of production time in modern TV, but maybe we could have 13 to 15 episodes ? Enough for a 10 episode dedicated season arc with a few others just to explore some weird anomalies that make no sense at all.

milkisklim ,

Masks is my favorite Data TNG episode.

milkisklim ,

I think we can excuse the fact that apparently everyone and their transporter clone had Pelia as their engineering professor. She’s been at the academy for so long, I wouldn’t be surprised if she dated Boothby on and off again or at least got him into gardening.

There’s a long tradition in star trek where characters talk about one particular professor or class at the Academy and the other character always knows who the professor is.

milkisklim ,

Not necessarily a canon connection, but Robot Chicken did do an operatic skit called Le Wrath di Khan

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody"

LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike....

milkisklim ,

I think it’s because the pop Hamilton style singing they were forced into does not constitute Opera in their tradition. This dishonor

milkisklim ,

This is still a fun question and I am learning!

Quark: I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this.

Garak: What is it?

Quark: A human drink. It’s called root beer.

Garak: I don’t know.

Quark: Come on. Aren’t you just a little bit curious?

Quark: What do you think?

Garak: It’s vile.

Quark: I know. It’s so bubbly and cloying and happy.

Garak: Just like the Federation.

Quark: But you know what’s really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.

Garak: It’s insidious.

Quark: Just like the Federation.

milkisklim ,

Respectfully to the other person that replied to you…No, what you did was correct. It’s important to keep the title the same as you are sharing not editorializing.

milkisklim ,

the two Animation shows

RIP prodigy

milkisklim ,

Lower decks is pretty good. Although like all trek, the first season takes a few episodes to get its pacing right.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x07 "Those Old Scientists"

LoglineAn accident while investigating a time portal sends Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Bradward Boimler through time from the 24th century, and Captain Pike and his crew must get them back where they belong before they can alter the timeline....

milkisklim ,

The only thing I wished was for the Enterprise crew to have been in TAS style art animation at the end. But yeah. Great show!

milkisklim ,

Minor spoilers… there’s a Tendi reference that is somewhat important. But all the lower decks references you really need will be explained in the episode.

milkisklim ,

Perfect!

milkisklim ,

IMHO I find that having a two foundation long block of rail before and after the station helps with trains running smoothly than the trains directly going into a one to many or many to one block. My bet is that it helps gives a train space to stop while the other trains go through the combo blocks.

milkisklim ,

Or as I call it, Star Trek: Die Hard

milkisklim ,

Maybe the Cayuga performs a support mission? It can do standard starship stuff but also specializes in social work, like diplomacy, legal services, law enforcement, politics, etc
