The Federation has many good looking women.
High Elf and Night Elf women are very good looking. Wood Elf women are also very pretty. Tellarites are the fugliest of the federation races.

new TNG watcher who has just finished watching 'the measure of a man'.
Probably my favourite episode so far and even though on paper it sounds like a boring episode, I really enjoyed the writing and themes of it around Data. Most of the episodes have had a silly feel to them and I really enjoyed the more mature and philosophical tone this had and I hope more come. I'm following a guide of recommended episodes and the next one is 'Q Who'. S2 is a big improvement so far and I've heard it's better and more consistent from S3 onwards

Measure of Man is probably one of the best episodes of the whole series. The gold standard for Star Trek writing and acting. And it was even considered a budget episode during production. Now the same studio is spending millions of dollars on CGI for episodes that are instantly forgotten.
>>
>>217634540
It just baffles me I really don’t get it. It’s not just a CBS/Paramount issue. ALL television and movies have these insane budgets and I have no idea why it’s like this. A single episode of SA costs the same as an entire season of real Star Trek and it’s not even 1% as entertaining, visually interesting, funny, witty… where does the money go?!

heaps of "best of" episodes were budget/bottle episodes, thats where duet came from, restrictions use to mean writers would flex to make the best of it, and the result was pure kino. Today however, ah well we always have what was.

Leaving Dator on the Enterpise where he can be blown into a million pieces at any moment is retarded, even if Maddox failed he could use the knowledge he gained from disecting the clanker fucking shit to one day build new androids. The research would also be continued by all the top Federation scientists so there would be no chance of losing the progress made. Mad scientist who doesn't keep any notes or records is stupid.

Both options were retarded. Him serving on the Enterprise (which gets attacked seemingly every fucking day) is just as bad as a complete disassembly with a huge risk of irreparably breaking him and learning nothing. He should have been serving at Starfleet Academy as an instructor or something with the dual-goal of trying to reconstruct / recreate himself

sentience its really that simple, Data is a living being with thoughts and desires and a will of his own, not a malfunctioning computer, or simply a super advanced computer imitating sentience. In short the difference boils down to one word Sentience.

Can Vorta fuck? Can The Founders fuck? Like Odo doesn't have sperm nor does he need a penis, but like to have sex with Kira he could make any penis she wanted. Even Gul Dukat's.
Are there any downsides to having sex with Odo?

yea thats nice and all but we've rated Duet as one of the best for 2 decades now, but sure the bottle episodes have fantastic ghust actors but also fantastic writing, that actor didn't make up the lines he was saying he was reading the script. hat would be impossible for nutrek to do since well their writers are shit

data tried to recreate or if you'd like procreate, he fucked up, lal was an individual but damaged think of it like a child born with a terminal disease. It really gets me that ep the line from geordi
>his hands were moving faster then i've ever seen, he just couldn't keep up with the degradation
paraphrased but still like a doctor trying to save their own child working at peak capacity ad still can't do it, its just tragic data made a mistake he thought he could reproduce he was wrong, which makes him all the more "human" lals final moments where data just kept at it knowing it was doomed to fail but he refused to give up, thats life thats not an unthinking machine thats sentience. Even more then Measure of a Man, Lal proves Data is more then just a construct.

Only humans? so Klingons, Vulcans, any other species do not have souls? What about Borg? What happens to the soul since the transporter kills you each time you use it? What about Thomas Riker, does he have a separate soul? Do he and Will share one, or does Thomas not have one? Given these types of questions, how do you definitively say Data does not have a soul but humans do?

No not only humans I was simply keeping the scope to humans (such as Dr Soong) and his creation (i.e. Data, Lore, etc.)
Within the confines of Star Trek I think it needs to be accepted that aliens such as Vulcans, Romulans, Klingon, etc have souls. The Borg idk I would have to think about it. As a group of physical beings that existed before assimilation: yes they had will and intellect before being abducted. Am I wrong in my understanding that your individual intellect and consciousness are “suppressed” after assimilation? With people like Picard, shown to be able to come back from assimilation, I would say yes—you still retain a soul and the borg hivemind is simply a facsimile of another’s will imposed onto you for a discrete amount of time

Data was only deemed to have inalienable rights in Measure of a Man because the crew was personally attached to him as a friend and went to bat for him. Whether that’s a parasocial relationship or not can be argued; personally I think Data is constructed as such a close approximation to a living being that it’s fine to attribute a personal relationship with him. But the decision that he had a consciousness or whatever was made by a tribunal of people who came to that decision. I personally don’t think that changes the reality that he, more likely than not, actually isn’t truly conscious with a soul though. To reiterate: I think Dr. Soong was simply able to create a positronic brain that mimicked a living organism very very well

Hindsight is 20/20, it would have been a much more intriguing and philosophical argument to find out that Data had a significant portion of Dr. Soong’s actual brain. I think it was handwavy of the writers to just be like “oh yeah he is a conscious computer trust us”

which was a huge deal and she was restricted to certain activities and environments, as I understand it this Ack show is about them restarting starfleet so a paraplegic wouldn't be a candidate for deep space exploration, they might and very well could be a tech on the ground that is not whats happening here, its stupid, really really stupid.

a major point of the episode is riker is the prosecutor they do not take into account the feelings of the crew at all, that kinda the point. Its entirely based on the facts of Datas status as either a sentient being with rights or a machine that is property of starfleet. The case isn't won by having his co-workers trot out and talk about how they like him, that doesn't happen. That would be something nu-trek would do but thats not how it goes down in tng at all. I would also point out the episode was written by a real no kidding passed the bar experienced lawyer.

Riker is arguing against his own personal beliefs due to lack of a prosecutor, and picard is obviously trying to parry Maddox’s three arguments of sentience

thank god for vulcan tummy or that show would never have made it to 4 seasons

>Highguard is getting reviewbombed because it looks so much like Concord.
its getting low reviews because its a 3v3 game, so if 1 person idles you lose
also it disconnects a shitload and no one can get into matches
why do you feel the need to defend it?perhaps some misplaced contrarianism against anything you view as right wing?

I hate to be “that guy,” but I think in an alternate timeline where Paramount gave Star Trek to some ultrachud based right wing guy instead of Kurtzman, I would go to bat for the new shit even if it were as bad writing-wise as ENT lol
I think the fact that it aligns culturally with retarded leftist values makes a lot of people like it by default for tribalistic and culture war reasons

They've released the quirkiest most teenager demographic targeting Star Trek series yet!And it looks and feels nothing like Star Trek, the writing is even cornier than what other nutrek did, the main character walks around barefoot, and there's a half Klingon/half Jem'Hadar in a lesbian relationship with a standup comedian they cast in the show.

I'm just going to come out and say it: Enterprise was a good show. Especially when Bakula wasn't in it. The Texas guy was good, the black guy was good, the Asian chick was good, the Vulcan lady was hot. Bakula was the worst part.

You can totally hex yourself into not enjoying something if your head is filled with "I do not like this thing" before you even start watching it
It's kind of like having a bad trip on psychedelics. If you go into anything with a bad enough attitude about something, you will yourself to misery.
Of course, some things, like Nu Trek, are so soul-crushingly terrible that even if you go in one cloud nine, you're leaving on a cooling board.

There really aren't a lot of Bones episodes. He's usually just support for Kirk and Spock.
Tholian Web has some great Bones moments.

I just thought the characters in TOS were incredibly one dimensional and they didn't interest me very much to continue with the series. Same with Voyager.
I mean you can make a pointy ear autistic character interesting, but for me that character isn't Spock. I am sorry.

I would make another episodic TNG-style show written by actual adults and not jews/fat millennial chicks with baby brains and a fear of growing old.
Everything after DS9 would be retconned as having not happened.

Take inspiration from Andromeda's Nietzscheans and have a bunch of humans on the border of Federation space that reject Earth authority and act as pirates and freebooters, following the ancient human warrior ethos that the Federation reviles.
The show would be about the Federation starship (r maybe even a small fleet) sent to negotiate with them and protect Federation allies from being raided or forced to pay tribute by humans who still follow the old ways of Earth's more violent past.
>>
>>217637469
I'd like to see a show set in the immediate post-DS9/Voyager era just to see them realise there's nothing stopping them from doing that. That era was portrayed close to real-time across those 15 years but that isn't necessary now, it's only necessary if you need to see established characters crossing over, which they did in each of those shows.
You could have a show that starts on a ship at the end of the Dominion War, like how DS9 started at Wolf 359

no you have to take it further they are using genetic engineering, would fit perfectly with the nietzscheans, make them an anathema to the federation but also cause all kinds of philosophical questions that were never really explored I know Ent tried but take it further, they have scientists, warriors teachers doctors children etc, the whole gamut they have a functioning society. You can then bring in those who aren't up to being enhanced or maybe don't work out like bashiers freinds, shunned maybe killed or maybe just isolated in care facilities, etc etc there is a lot to explore and think about. While having an "enemy" that is smart dangerous and also very human. Take it even further, they have genetically enhanced vulcans and andorians and tellerites and so on. That would be a huge ethical and military challenge to the federation. Of course they would be a much smaller empire otherwise their is no conflict the enhanced would take over in a week.
>>
>>217637948
yeah halfway
the maquis never got fleshed out and were in "contested territory", they were more a political inconvenience and were federation citizens, it seemed like the writers on DS9 didn;;t know what to do with them and just shut off the valve on that plot to move on to the next one
this would be a human group that settled in a region long before the federation consolidated control, are deliberately more violent as a scare tactic, and keep raiding federation allies for plunder and tech (to the detriment of some earth-xeno relations)
think space mongols or comanches tactically with deep warrior philosophical discipline and enough tech starfleets never seen before to make them a threat, but much harder to find and neutralize
Andromeda did a good job with the Nietzscheans up front but then never did much else with them, and them being a Roddenberry invention I think they'd be a fun contrast to the Federation if done right.

Yes that is the assumption however this show had to air and appeal to a broad audience in the circa 1980s and 1990s, it wasn’t some degenerate HBO show that could pull back the veil and serve cunt for gooners

>Vulcans who accept the logic of Nietzsche willingly joining a radical human faction because when it was explained it made sense to them
based
>Andorians and Tellerites joining the stronger humans against the Federation
also based
and agreed on the genetic engineering, a parallel to the khan group essentially but one that got established in a treacherous and difficult to traverse part of space
they venture out to raid and only fools follow them back in, they take tribute from some, raid and plunder others, take hostages for security guarantees, etc.
The Federation views it as a stain on humanity's honor and a detriment to the spread of Federation values, so Captain such-and-such and crew are being sent to negotiate with alien worlds on the rim to start organizing defenses.

Them being butt ugly is only half the problem, they also look incongruous. The Discovery, Shenzou and nu-Enterprise all being Federation ships apparently in the same era but with seemingly no common design language is baffling. John Eaves has lost it

exactly could have been a fascinating progression from ds9/voy, aybe ther tech isa bit different and they don't have idk quantum torpedoes or voys ablative armor, but they progressed in other ways, an anti federation, ah well what might have been, still interesting to think about, mabe some Killed in Action or Lost in Action feds during the war actually were rescued by the enhanced and are now on their side. Its a real military threat but more its a existential threat a moral threat, something that legit shakes the foundations of what the federation stands for, the klingons might look to them as the stronger race idk. There is so much to work with. Fuck you berman hire /trek 20+ years ago, We'll save star trek one great idea at a time.

It's maybe overly detailed and less sculptural compared to the D but I'd argue it's better thought out. By which I mean at the very least, with the stepping on the hull, there are fewer impractical 10-metre long near-horizontal windows we never get to see from the inside

the show is not saying he is a conscious computer. That's the point. Putting Dr. Soong's brain in him would just burn the thought provoking stuff behind Data and allow Humans to hide behind their organic assumptions.
