Ok, play nice kids.

LOL! I wonder if Spielberg has seen that.

I appreciate the time it took to match the style of the original poster art. They could have photoshopped a Porg into it and called it a day.

Even if the Porgs turn out to be the new Jar Jar, these pics are worth it.

Trumpy claims to have proof of what he said. It’s probably on the same shelf as those Comey recordings though.

This week’s episode had a fancy new Klingon ship identified as a D7, which is the classic TOS model. This goes with my friend’s headcanon that Star Trek has been like a historical record for future people who live in the Trek universe, so the effects are limited by the budget in-universe. Each visual change in more recent series are more representative of how they actually looked, or the recreation of this particular series took an artistic choice.

Adding this layer of fiction within the fiction helps smooth over any changes for me.

I never thought of it that way. That’s a really cool concept.

Umm… wait. So Star Trek is basically a series of historical holonovels. So, there is apparently an historical holonovel of Riker visiting an historical holonovel to help him decide what to do about the events of The Pegasus?

I still refuse to believe Trip Tucker would have died how that episode said he did. As Connor Trinneer has said, Trip had been in far worse situations before and come out of them alive. That is one of the reasons I will never watch that episode, ever again.

Historical documents you say? 😛

There is a novel that undoes that damage inflicted by These Are The Voyages. (Trip’s death is not what it appears.) The title escapes me at the moment.

Dark empire looks like vomit…so your judging of visual styles are questionable at best

I don’t associate Star Wars with pleasant things anymore. I’m sorry that I feel that way. Oh wait, no I’m not. I think it’s a great film but I just can’t take it seriously anymore.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out

You’re really married to that phrase aren’t you?

I’m not warning you again. Learn some manners or next time it’s a temp ban.

Looks at Handman’s sig image, turns green with envy. I want a classic OT Death Star too! 😉

I’d love to see some documentation from the '60’s where making the Klingons look more alien was actually discussed. A lot of production memos and such still exist. It’s not that the capability wasn’t there, (look at the Tellarites or the Andorians) but the expense of doing a large group of Klingons would have wreaked havoc with the budget.

I would imagine they changed them up for TMP because it looked cool. Ironic they had the money to populate the film with dozens of exotic aliens and most of it ended up on the cutting room floor. Robert Wise allegedly put all the Enterprise’s alien crewmembers in the Rec deck scene way in the back where they are barely visible. What was he thinking?

TNG tweaked the Romulan look enough that you have to wonder how Spock can walk around on Romulus unnoticed. 😉

So is Star Wars, but we all gripe when the prequels don’t mesh with the OT. 😉

Scoundrel has a nice ring to it.

The kligons in TNG look nothing like the ones in TOS. The Discovery design looks much more like the TNG design than TNG/TOS.
If any other show was using the design from Discovery, they’d be blasted for ripping off TNG.

Yeah that would be like TNG stealing from Captain Eo for the Borg look. 😉

Why ImpsCum hasn’t been banned is beyond me.
If Warbler tried to get away with that kinda shit, we’d never see him again.
(joking but not)

No name calling. It’s petty and juvenile.

He may only have traveled after the Jedi fell.

Just be glad the idea of young Han in Episode III got scrapped early on. 😉

So, this ain’t your daddy’s Star Trek then? Even the Klingons in STID looked better.

yhwx said:

Isn’t it a little weird how in the first movie, Han says that he’s never heard of the Jedi or the Force, but the Jedi only went extinct twenty years earlier?

He doesn’t say he’s never heard of them.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe that there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Maybe “The Good, the Bad and the Wookiee”? 😄

If they had an actor who looked like human Jabba pretending to be Jabba, that would be hilarious.

What else were they going to call it? Han & Chewbacca The Early Days? 😉

Like Bortus (and his mate), from The Orville, who is neither flamboyant nor sassy.

I’m not really bothered by men who are gay, per se, but I really am not fond of men in general who are effeminate, especially flamboyantly so. It weirds me out.

So it’s okay if they’re gay, but they need to be gay in a way that doesn’t bother you?

I’m sure you can guess the punchline here.

Are there any gay regular characters at all? Or is it too soon to know for sure?

Although when dealing with alien species, sexuality can be very different from what humans think of.

Weren’t they the kids of his maid who died unexpectedly?

I used to see that referred to as Kleavage. 😉

Lursa and B’etor were good villains. Pity they were kind of wasted and wasted in Generations.

I sort of liked the body armor type suits they wore in their first TNG appearance. I’d bet they weren’t much fun for the actors to wear.

The headgear bordered on goofy looking though.

Makeup tweaks over the course of seven seasons is to be expected. Even Spock’s look changed between two pilots and the series proper.

Well, we’re a bunch a weird people too, from a certain point of view. 😉

So long as nobody is doing human sacrifices in their basement in front of a plastic pony altar, there’s no need to cast aspersions.
