My dad watches a sitcom from the 1970s every morning called Barney Miller. From what I’ve seen the show is surprisingly serialized for a show from that era. Characters break up and go through marriage drama. There are To Be Continued stingers and Previously On recaps. Again, it’s a shitty cop show I never even heard on until MeTV started syndicating it this year.

Watching through all of Trek with my normie brother. He actually enjoyed TOS a lot (even good parts of S3) but at the moment we are struggling to get through S1 of TNG
I remember it being bad but its genuinely just terrible like good god what were they thinking.
So far the best episode has been the 10101010 binary little dude ones but even that was just a 7/10. I know it gets better around S3 but damn

Janeway never looked more retarded than she did while reaching out to the monkey, as if she thought it would ever come right up to a totally strange human. The look on her face is so cringe I have to turn away.

Unironically the real victims were the drug dealers. They literally have 0 industry. The entire planet will immediately break out into a ravenous scramble for resources, likely leaving millions dead. Thats assuming they at least have local agricultural production, if not billions will starve.

I'm probably the only heterosexual male under the age of 70 who has not only watched Dark Shadows (all 1200 fucking episodes of it) but actually considers it a favorite, and I have to say that show really doesn't get enough credit for serialized stories. Obviously being a soap opera a lot of that just came with the territory, but also being a weird sort of hybrid romance/supernatural horror/live-action-saturday-morning-cartoon it was often a way more ambitious fantastical adventure serial than really anything that had been seen on TV before, and the fact that they were trying to do all that stuff on a shoestring soap budget is pretty undeniably impressive despite its barely competent ramshackle presentation, which is half the fun of watching it anyway. Interestingly enough there seems to have been a lot of overlap between DS and Star Trek fandom back in the day.

Depends on the comfyness factor of the universal translator. If he doesn't even notice that people around him aren't actually speaking Talaxian, he wouldn't. But if the UT has some sort of uncanny delay, or it just looks weird that the lips don't sync up with the words, he might give it a try.

There probably is a delay in-universe. Like everything else on the show that’s instantaneous. Nobody would watch the show if there was this stalled AI diction of everything an alien says. It would be realistic but hurt the entertainment factor.

it's most likely an implant of some kind (in DS9 they show it being inside the ear) that can both translate spoken language and also make it so that your own brain can fix your mouth, lips and do the air control necessary to speak in a different language without you actually having to know it. you go to say a word in your native language and that brain impulse is intercepted by the translator and it makes your body say that word in the desired language.

That would explain why the sounds still matched the mouth movements when the holographic recording of Weyoun was switched to “native language mode” but then why did Sisko need Worf to translate when Gowron said “today is a good day to die” in Klingonese?

In the season 2 episode 'Basics', some Kazon capture Voyager and strand the crew on a barren planet.
The Voyager crew are stripped of their comm badges (thus their UT's) and can still talk to Neelix and Kes.

VOY is known for its shitty little devices that do things you wouldn't expect from their appearance.
Everything started out as a little thingamajig that grew into borg armor and what not.
Sure, they could have shown Seska with a screwdriver dismantling the transporter pad for 30 minutes, but that would have been pretty boring.

The TNG drugs episode had them, during an emergency where they couldn't get a lock, connect the two transporter systems to get them across. Feels to me like something they should be doing all the time between ships. The idiots were too drug-addled to get on the pad so they directly beamed them out, there were six of them but they only got a lock on four before the ship exploded

They have to put that on everything now so when some fetal alcohol ridden goblin eats a piece they have to die. Also yes, children don't give a fuck about toys anymore and the entire industry pivoted to adult collectors.

When ships meet up, do you think there are pervert crewmembers in their quarters looking out at crew quarters on the other ship hoping to catch someone changing clothes or fresh out of the sonic shower, etc? Some officers' quarters have huge windows with seemingly little concern for privacy.

The very first broadcast episode of Star Trek, "The Man Trap" presents a story very much like The Twilight Zone, or The Outer Limits. It even has background music (not the title music) that is very similar to the background music played in the episodes of each of those earlier shows. Curious.

Voyager was Janeway’s first time commanding a ship but not her first command overall. She had some other assignment where she was the senior officer but not a captain, either in rank or authority. She would’ve been a commander at most.

It was obvious he's not getting anywhere far in that crappy sail boat, and only got to Cardassia Prime by pure fuckin lack thanks to some space anomaly.

Janeway was supposed to have a romance with Chakotay. The writers were building up to it over multiple seasons. This episode was supposed to be the start of it.
Then Janeway actress backed out and said she didn't like the storyline. She refused to act it out and said she shouldn't sleep with her crew. So Chakotay was left with nothing to do. Multiple episodes of buildup all for nothing.

Women liked Star Trek for the same reason men did: to see dashing captains solve problems. It's why they cast Shatner and Frakes instead of ugly fat dudes who would have done the job just as well. Star Trek was never going to have a 50% female audience. I don't see Hallmark and Lifetime execs fretting about male viewership.

Look up Trek tubers and podcasters that are women and you'll quickly notice almost all of them love Kurtzman Trek. They think it's a huge improvement over the classic era. Trek may have always been political but it's also been very male-leaning. The erasure of that aspect has been a staple of the Kurtzman era. Him and his team have been very open and proud about that. And women love it too. Unfortunately for them there's just not enough of them to make it financially sustainable.

>The erasure of that aspect has been a staple of the Kurtzman era
Not just the Kurtzman era, Star Trek 09 was designed with the intent to grab a female audience. And then casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan of all people only further confirms that. The amount of gay Star Trek fanart sky rocketed thanks to the JJ movies

That was designed as a four-quadrant movie with a male lean. Think Bayformers, Fast and the Furious, Snyderverse, etc. But it still had too many "problematically" male elements. Hence the Into Darkness controversy. It certainly wouldn't fly with today's even more radicalized female demographic.
