See, Disco had it right. Doctors wore white, compared to the navy blue uniforms of all the other divisions, including Sciences. Presumably during the war someone decided that your medic being conspicuously covered in blood gave a bad impression, that was downgraded to nurses (SNW Chapel) and the doctors wore blue (although the slightly lighter shade than science divison). Then later, nurses got blue as well (TOS Chapel). Or was Chapel a full MD by then? Not sure about that.
Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…
I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?
Cautiously optimistic.
I mean Star Trek is not much better
What was it like before Disco came out? I know not everyone loved Enterprise, but was there always such a degree of animosity? I always thought Trekkies were generally pretty chill, especially compared to some of the assholes in the Star Wars fandom…
Multiple counts, since they’re risking not just their own child, but all other people their germ machine came into contact with…
Jaxo is looking at him with the 'damn it, I still thought you were going to start Ice Ice Baby…" expression.
Rejected tag line for Sesame Street
WELL THAT’S ALL RIGHT THEN!
It’s security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It’s not that it’s not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.
Ah, but from where I sit (a long way from the US), it looks more like a pissing contest between the Republicans to see who can be the most terrible human being in government, than it does look like any sort of actual policy or principal.
It’s not about helping Ukraine, or avoiding the mistakes of Afghanistan - it’s about trying to make Biden (and/or ‘The Dems’ in general) look bad, even if that involves civilian deaths.
Are they evil, Russian agents or just absolute clowns? It doesn’t really matter, does it. The end result is the same.
I 100% get why they changed them for Strange New Worlds, but damn if I don’t love that Enterprise-coloured Discovery-style uniform.
I’ve seen a story where one of the faire participants had a commbadge hidden in their costume, pulled the Trekkie to one side, showed it to them, then told them off for breaking the Prime Directive…
His face, his voice, his… everything…
“By Grabthar’s Hammer… … what a savings”
I was going to tell you a time travel joke, but you didn’t like it.
With just a jump to the left…
Proof we need more Brits around here, the answer is clearly “sausages”… 😁
Personally, I think the problem with Galactica nowadays is that the world is generally far more depressing than it was when the show came out. I can take dark and gritty, but it was more fun then. Now, I prefer something more lighthearted.
Like the flashback episode of SNW, where we saw Chapel and M’Benga during the Klingon War. My first though was “this is awesome, I could watch a whole show like that”, but shortly afterwards, I realised "nope, that would be way too much, bring back Captain Daddy making jokes about how flipping the communicator open is better than tapping a commbadge.
Or maybe I’m just more of a miserable bastard than I was 20 years ago. IDK.
But hey, for any sci-fi fan, I’d certainly recommend at least watching the miniseries that kicks it all off. Get a feel for the characters and the universe they’re in.
I’ve never watched Babylon 5. Everyone always raves about it, but I don’t know if I could get past the extremely dated looking effects.
Plus there’s so much new content coming out. I can’t criticise anyone who doesn’t want to watch older stuff, because who has the time to watch it all?
That being said… you have seen Firefly, right?
Do you wanna run this ship?
Yes
Well… you can’t.
“So we were being chased by bad guys through a really explosive gas cloud nebula thing. Weapons were on the fritz and we couldn’t use shields because if the aforementioned nebula. So I ejected the warp core and blew it up, detonating the nebula and the bad guys while we just scraped out in the nick of time”
My god man, that’s actually impressive. How were you planning on getting back to literally anywhere else without a warp core?
“Ah well, I was only the acting captain at the time, so I figured that would be Picard’s problem when he got back…”
My favourite Doctor is:
Whoever is currently playing The Doctor
Paul McGann (the film wasn’t great but he was, and I wish we’d seen more of him than one mini episode and a quick cameo…)
