Television The Star Trek Thread V6.0

Enterprise is almost as bad as the TNG movies. Being a Star Trek fan in 1994 was awesome. Being one in 2020 is just depressing.

In Season 3, they bring the MACO units on board and I'm like OK OK

They proceed to do close to jackshit with the exception of saving Hoshi towards the end of the season

Just another ball dropped

I have finally reached the start of Season 4 of Enterprise

I finished the first 2 episodes, the "Cold Front" storyline and I thought it was average. I thought Silik was an awesome character but was never ever used to his full potential.

So after Season 1 ended I had pretty high hopes for the series however things started to head down hill quickly

Most of the main characters don't even get anything to do in this show. The biggest and most troubling is my man Travis Mayweather. Travis almost never does shit post-season 1. There are episodes where this guy has no lines whatsoever.

Other characters like Hoshi, Reed, and Phlox are only treated slightly better. Pretty much the only characters onboard the enterprise that matter are Archer, Trip, and Tpol.

Enterprise does have lots of good side characters tho, my man Degra and my man Shran are badasses.

The Temporal Cold War shit never got better and In fact, it gets worse. It's like every time the Enterprise is in a bad position they go into Daniels room and grab some Deus Ex Machina device that allows them to continue the storyline. its hamfisted garbage to say the least.

Season 4 is very good and basically gave the fans what they were looking for all along (background story and answers to unanswered questions).

I don't think so at all, this to me reads like standard apologism for lazy modern writing that attempts to cover itself with politics and "darkness" without really having much commitment or intelligence to it.

The reality is that from relatively early on in the TNG era Trek was not utopian, we saw constantly episodes in which the federation was tested morally but in a more realistic pragmatic way. Picard doesn't look to ask the audience moral questions, it presents simplistic good and evil situations.

You could say that's a reflection of modern politics but honestly if your talking political moral I think its exactly on very shaky ground. Pushing the idea that the federation has collapsed into immorality of racism of slavery as a reflection of Trump I think gives the impression that previously we had a situation akin to the federation of TNG when in reality the Obama years were nothing of the sort and arguably responsible for Trump in their continued adherence to neoliberal capitalism.
 
Voyager episode "Collective"

Voyager encounters a Borg cube in which all have died except for five children. One of them is a total prick. The other four seem pretty cool.

This is the introduction of Icheb, whose secondary actor has his eye torn out in the most disgraceful thing ever called Star Trek.
There's good reason to think that the catalyst for torturing the character is a series of comments from original actor, Manu Intiryami.

The story centers on one Borg kid aggressively telling everybody what to do. The cube is all fucked up and without leadership, and this dumb kid ain't cutting it.

Seven takes command and tortures the stupid kid until his head explodes while convincing the rest to join Voyager.

They join and reclaim their former selves. Seven takes off her clothes and sits in a warm bath in a five minute scene.

I remember icheb. I liked his relationship with seven and seeing him try to be human too

It's nice to imagine he had a happy life after the events of Voyager

I've been watching ST The Animated Series.

Anyone who likes TOS should like many of these scripts. Some good sci-fi to be enjoyed.
 
ST TAS episode "The Slaver Weapon".

Adapted script from a Larry Niven short story.

The story revolves around the contents of a Slaver stasis box (a box in which no time passes, the Slavers put varied things into them and hid them to be used later).

Such a box is found by Kirk and company, and it contains a weapon shaped object.

An alien warrior race called the Kzinti has also found the box, and a struggle for the weapon ensues.

The Kzinti obtain it and begin testing it; the weapon has a self destruct in the event it's captured by an enemy. It go boom.
