Looks more like a Miranda Class ship.

Which episode is this scene from? (Not with that dialogue of course)

The most incredible thing about this is that the video doesn’t seem to be geo-blocked.
- Comment on TIL that Jordie directed some episodes 1 year ago:
“Some”? 29 episodes across TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. That’s even one more TV episode than Jonathan Frakes directed. (although Frakes also directed two movies)
- Comment on He suffered for our sins 1 year ago:
Worf has the most appearances by far. 284 + 4 films.
O’Brien has 165 appearances across TNG and DS9.
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 4x10: “OId Friends, New Problems” (SPOILERS) 1 year ago:
A lot of great bits in this episode.
A Steamrunner class! I love the ships introduced in First Contact. And we even got to see its bridge.
The music! Straight out of Star Trek II.
And the visuals too! Especially the nebula fight, the the Genesis Device glare and the creation of the planet.
The Bomb Defusion Paywall was a nice touch too.
And Boimler did indeed make a great captain.
The ending was a bit rushed though. Neither Mariner nor Boimler had something to say to Tendi? That was a bit weird.

- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 4x09: “The Inner Fight” (SPOILERS) 1 year ago:
The shuttle bringing Freeman, Rutherford and Shax to the surface has a profile and colors resembling a Tatooine landspeeder, and the staff handling planetary landings were uniforms resembling Imperial ones and speak in pseudo-British accents.
Also, the background music when that shuttle landed sounded like it came straight from a Star Wars movie.

I wish there was a version of the calendar with only canon ships. Not a big fan of most non-canon designs.
- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
Voyager is alright. It’s just very uneven. What drags it down is that the producers only very rarely took big swings that had a lasting impact on the characters or the show. Voyager excels at being episodic television. There are a bunch of stinkers (as there are on any TV show) but when it’s good, it’s really good. It has some of the best Trek episodes.
Maybe use an episode guide with ratings (for example Jammer’s Reviews, Ex Astris Scientia or IMDb) and skip the episodes with low ratings.

- Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor 1 year ago:
I mean, DS9 wasn’t as popular as TNG back then – both in terms of ratings and fan reception. Many considered it the black sheep of the Trek family. Berman focused on Voyager. So it was chrystal clear to every fan with even half a brain that DS9 would never get a movie. Perhaps Voyager had a tiny chance but by the time it concluded its run viewership had been in steady decline, and then Nemesis tanked.

- Comment on NYCC Starfleet Academy confirmation 1 year ago:
Friendly reminder that the initial fan reaction before TNG aired was very negative.
And look how that eventually turned out.
Give the new show a chance before condemning it.

Lower Decks basically did a pilot episode for that.

I found the others terrible too but this one was actually funny. I loved how they made fun of “These are the Voyages” at the beginning.

- Comment on Star Trek's Man Dress - Complete Story 1 year ago:
It’s a bummer that they got rid of the skant so quickly. I wonder if today’s fashion would be different if Star Trek continued to show all genders wearing pants or skirts during the height of its popularity in the 90s. Maybe it would have been somewhat normalized for men to wear skirts too.
- Comment on Whats your favorite Star Trek season? 1 year ago:
My vote goes to DS9 season 2 which is severely underrated. Althouth I like the latter half of DS9 more – mainly because it had Worf in it, and Worf is the best {{:-) – season 2 lay the foundation for DS9’s later success.
The whole season is a huge step up from season 1 which often felt like TNG on a space station. In season 2 the writers began to really try out new things. It starts with a never-before-done 3-part episode, then does some more great world-building in “Cardassians” and “Necessary Evil”, then slowly builds up a mysterious force in the Gamma Quadrant by the name of “the Dominion”, then achieves the feat of making Bashir likeable in “Armageddon Game” upon which his friendship with O’Brien is built, then does a couple of standalone highlights like “Whispers” and “Blood Oath” (in which Kor, Koloth and Kang return! which in today’s crossover-ridden landscape would be just a footnote but back then it was a huge deal), then lays the foundation for the Maquis on Voyager and also does more with the Maquis then Voyager ever will do, oh and in the same episode spells out the show’s leitmotif “it’s easy to be a saint in paradise”, …
… and we’re still not done yet because the rest of the season is a total banger: “The Wire” is a trip into Garak’s psyche, “Crossover” brings back the mirror universe, “The Collaborator” is a big step in making Kai Winn one of the show’s main antagonists, “Tribunal” is the OG O’Brien-must-suffer episode, and “The Jem’Hadar” introduces the Dominion literally with a huge bang by blowing up a Galaxy Class ship. You know, the ship class that we just spend 7 years with and which escaped countless foes unscathed.
Seriously, never skip season 2 on your re-watch. Don’t listen to anyone who says that “DS9 only gets good once the Defiant shows up”. No no no. This is the real deal.
- Comment on Watching Threshold again. Yay or nay? 1 year ago:
I agree. The episode isn’t perfect but the first ~35 minutes are decent.
I’ll never understand why it’s considered to be the worst Star Trek episode. Yes, it has a weird ending but Star Trek had plenty of weird episodes (which aren’t considered bad). What I find much worse are episodes like TNGs Code of Honor that are insulting, or episodes that are downright boring like SNWs The Elysian Kingdom.

In the subtitles it was spelled “scentuary”. Neat little pun.

That’s how Vulcans must have felt during First Contact with humans. 😖

Oh, I forgot about The Nth Degree. That’s a good one.
- Comment on Fun episodes 1 year ago:
Here’s one from each show:
TOS: A Piece of the Action
TNG: First Contact (the episode, not the movie) had some funny moments, but it’s hard to pic a funny TNG episode
DS9: Little Green Men
VOY: Bride of Chaotica!
ENT: Two Days and Two Nights
DIS: – (did they even have a single funny episode?)
PIC: same as DIS
LOW: pretty much any episode, but my favourites are “wej’Duj” and “I, Excretus”
SNW: Charades (probably the funniest out of all the Live-Action episodes I’ve listed, in terms of outright comedy)
Enjoy!
- Comment on Star Trek: very Short Treks | "Holiday Party" 1 year ago:
I usually love bad humour. But these Very Short Treks are just terrible.
I do like the TAS animation style though. And that the actual actors are voicing the characters is great too. Everything else … not so much. Bummer. 🙁
