Little Pixie Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm in two minds about seven of nine ; I loved the character development and her acting, but that outfit ?? Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Yeah they kinda went from bad to good and back to bad again with the female outfits over the course of TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. I think Geri Ryan commented on it herself, if I recall correctly. Just rewatched The Measure of a Man. "A single Data is a curiosity, a wonder even, but thousands of Datas - isn't that becoming a race? And won't we be judged by how we treat that race? Now tell me what is he? Is he (a machine?) He's met two of your three criteria for sentience (intelligence and self-awareness), what if he meets the third, consciousness, in even the smallest degree, what is he then? I don't know. Do you? Well that's the question you have to answer. Your honour, the courtroom is a crucible, in it we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product, the truth, for all time. Sooner or later, this man, or others like him, will succeed in replicating Commander Data - the decision you reach here today will determine how we will regard this 'creation' of our 'genius'. It will reveal the kind of a people we are, what he is destined to be - it will reach far beyond this courtroom and this, one android. It could significantly redefine the boundaries of personal liberty and freedom; expanding them for some, savagely curtailing them for others. Are you prepared to condemn him and all who come after him to servitude and slavery? Your honour Starfleet was founded to seek out new life - well there is sits. Waiting." Just. Man. I love this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Martian Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The one big plus that next Generation had was Patrick Stewart - he's a marvellous actor. I've seen him on stage a couple of times too. When I think of the strongest episodes of ST TNG - like The Measure of a Man, The Inner Light, Chain of Command - he's immense. Seeing him in Chain of Command just sent chills down my spine.

Nollaig Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Patrick Stewart is phenomenal. I've never seen him on stage, I can only imagine how amazing an experience that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Star Trek Discovery - casting news. At last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Martian Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Interesting! I'll give it a go when it airs. Tricky job though, making the tech "more advanced than Enterprise but slightly more primitive than TOS". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Oof, I'm really in two minds about the sequel ; the first one was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolf woolf Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) As I read Phillip K. Dick's book, I can't help but notice some images here resemble parts of its story that weren't in the first movie. Perhaps they're basing Gosling's character on the book's protagonist, as well as using some book elements in the worldbuilding, even if the plot seems wholly different.

Madeleine Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 yes I just saw that about Timeless, yay. I notice that Sleepy Hollow's been cancelled as well, although I wasn't surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeless , I don't think I've ever seen a show get resurrected so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
