“conversations with letters of the alphabet” hahahah fair. But also like, in their defence, you would assume that someone being placed in command of the flagship of the Federation would have been thoroughly vetted before hand wouldn’t you?
I’d argue that not knowing Picard very well gave them no reason to question him either.
I’ve yet to play EF2. Skippable in your opinion?
I quite liked how they added to the lore of the world without completely turning things upside down. Just some more fun with
an extinct species from early on in TNG, the Tkon.
I was a big fan of Telltale games and this felt like a spiritual successor to them.
Have you played Elite Force recently? It was a fun romp through a Trek ship museum, and had the benefit of voice acting from the cast, but I didn’t enjoy it as much recently as I did when I was a kid and it makes me sad.
The replicator kind of gives the answer when Troi asks: it has been programmed to have all food items provide appropriate nutritional content. It’s why there’s still a tradition of people cooking real food even though they have replicators. A few examples would be Pike, Sisko and his dad, and O’Brien’s mom. Also most or all of the Maquis.
Chef Janeway: Coffee and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Chef Picard: Wine. Lots of wine.
not a damn clue tbh
hmmm who would shoot blue goo out of their forehead?
I still think it’s kinda funny that transporters were only written in because they couldn’t afford a shuttle in TOS season 1 then they became so iconic. I wonder what trek would be like if they’d only ever had shuttles.
Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they were worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script (perhaps out of ego, perhaps out of artistic integrity, who knows). Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives’ hands. It wasn’t the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.
The Star Trek universe’s first non-binary character
wow, not even the first crew members or first actors, they tried to claim it for the whole Star Trek universe. unbelievable. I think Dax would like to have a word with them.
That’s right, the entire species had evolved past having gender. That makes it even sadder/funnier that ST:D tried to claim it.
I don’t play STO anymore but I love that they added the Surak-class. Such a pretty ship!
lmao did they really? didn’t riker bang a non-binary alien (or try to at least)?
Possibly lt broccoli
i’m pretty sure it’s because they tried to make degrassi in space.
I’m not defending him, but let’s be honest with ourselves here. He was born nearly a decade before World War II. It’s amazing that he’s this progressive, plus he actively supported African American rights. And if you don’t believe me, why not hear it from Nichelle Nichols herself. Credit where credit is due.
ahh yes, as opposed to the forced scenes where all the boys group up for boy power
