Okay I'm starting TNG S2

And it seems to be getting off to a... weird, beginning.

Loktar

lol you guys see some of the games added to Steam today?

the descriptions are amazing

> Parkan II is an original concept game that will allow you to feel as a pilot of a spacecraft lost somewhere in the universe. The players are to explore hundreds of solar systems, take part in a series of fierce battles and meet a new enemy - a mysterious creature calling itself Gegemaunt.

> Planet Alcatraz is a 3D role playing game with isometric projection. The player travels through the game world and fights against enemies in the real-time mode.Several genres are mixed in this game but despite that fact it isn't stuck between them and appears to be a classical RPG that is based on a specially developed system.

12:47 AM

WAIT WHERE IS DR CRUSHER

OH

HMMPH

WHAT THE HECK SPACE FETUS

I still don't get the uniforms in TNG

dr. crusher got booted off the show for a little while owing to a dispute between gates mcfadden and paramount.

in her place, they put "girl doctor mccoy"

but then she was like "nope, hate this gig" and then they brought crusher back.

the first few seasons are very odd. I think there was a writer's strike at the time.

past that point, it's so 80's it's not even funny

even though by that time it was the 90's

crusher's hair is so... 80's perm

and the bridge is like beige carpet and wood paneling, srsly

@agent86 Wow she is Mccoy

@RedRiderX indeed. she even hates on data like mccoy hates on spock.

@agent86 Yeah very much so

Hmm

Worf and La Forge were Red shirts, and now they are Yellow shirts

the uniforms were weird, I think they were lycra or spandex or something and they never quite fit right. that's why they're constantly tugging on them

12:56 AM

But Picard and Riker are red

yeah, they played musical uniforms. I think la forge becomes chief engineer around the start of season two

@agent86 Yep

@RedRiderX They switch three times.

But Worf seems to do the same job as before

Wait, no only twice.

12:58 AM

So...

What is yellow supposed to be?

@agent86 He does, and word becomes chief of security at...some point. It was either at the start of season 2 or right after tasha died.

SPOILERS GEEZ

The canon is that he took over right after her death, but I they may have just retconned that.

@Wipqozn :O

yellow eventually becomes "engineering" blue is "science/medical" red is "command"

12:58 AM

@agent86 That's what I thought

Yellow is security as well.

I don't think they were terribly consistent on this until the second season or so

But it was kind of not that in the begining

@Wipqozn That's what I was going to say

yeah, security/engineering is right-er than what I said

@agent86 Yeah, the first season is pretty bad.

The second season is less bad.

The third season is where it gets good.

1:00 AM

I thought the first season was pretty good

I like it way more than TOS

well, there are some killer storylines

locutus, for instance. I won't say more than that.

pretty much any time patrick stewart was in the central plot role, he kicked some acting butt

like he drags that show for the first couple of seasons before the rest of the cast gets on board

@agent86 Yes that does seem to be the case

they start to stand out later on, esp. spiner and burton, imho

WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THIS SPACE FETUS

@agent86 I'd say Worf stands out a lot more than burton.

Dorn, that's his last name.

Couldn't remember it.

Actor that is.

1:02 AM

@Wipqozn ehhh, he mostly gets angry and then gets his ass kicked. he was interesting, but I just liked burton more.

And I agree. If it wasn't for Patrick Stewart it wouldn't have surprised me if it didn't get past season 1.

probably I'm biased as I'm also an engineer :P

HI CHAT.

@Wipqozn pretty much this

STAR TREK IS FOR NERDS. YOU NERDS.

1:04 AM

I agree with spiner though. Data was good. Well, post season 1( maybe 2)

@agent86 Mostly to coin the name of the trope. Worf is a super-strong bad-ass warrior, and THIS guy just thew him across the room! omg!

In season 1 emotionless android thing was done really poorly. That is to say he wasn't emotionless at all.

He was always smiling. It was weird.

WOW THIS DR IS 100% FEM-MCCOY

Also Riker looks so much better with a beard.

2

@Wipqozn yeah, it was a weird character in the first couple of seasons. then he got better at the character and they started writing interesting things for him.

1:06 AM

@agent86 HE DOESN'T LOOK AT ALL THE SAME

Also the collar helps

THE WORF GETS PWNED SUPERCUT

He ages 30 years between between season 1 and 3.

Season 2 is somewhere in-between.

@Wipqozn Best thing I never noticed about Riker until the internet pointed it out to me; the way he sits down

proto-beard

1:07 AM

@TrentHawkins haha, yes

yeah, he always goes over the back of chairs

RIKER SITS DOWN SUPERCUT

Going around the chair is a lot of work. Riker don't got time for that shit.

@agent86 In the first couple f seasons, but they fleshed him out more. DS9 is where he really shines IMO.

DS9 was just a lot more fitting for worfs character. He was actually able to win fights.

it's like they split kirk into the "womanizer" and the "fearless commander" and ended up with riker and picard.

SHE EVEN DRINKS LIKE MCCOY

somewhere in the universe is a machine that could glue them back together into william shatner

1:09 AM

Also when did starships get...

a bar/lounge?

IS THAT WHOPPI GOLDBERG!?

just wait until

yeah, that.

@RedRiderX Yup!

@RedRiderX yep

1:10 AM

it's whoopi, by the by.

WOW

just wait until you get to the first TNG movie.

She makes a few appearances through the season.

In fact I think she shows up a few times each season.

she's like "magic space african american"

@agent86 wat

1:11 AM

Oh, she doesn't show up in season 7 at all.

or I guess a couple of other times in the series...

mark twain, for instance.

Shows up a few times per season frmo seasons 2-6 though.

@RedRiderX the goldberg is shrouded in mystery

Apparently.

or that time she knew the universe was all wrong.

she had a magic space feeling

1:12 AM

Are you planning to move on to Deep Space 9 once you finish TNG?

Also when did bars get space chess?

@agent86 I was jsut thinking of that, haha

@RedRiderX They had them in TOS.

I could not get into DS9, myself. or voyager. my star trek began and ended with TNG...

@Wipqozn When did bars get space chess?

@RedRiderX Well, they had them in the TOS equivalent of ten forward.

1:13 AM

@RedRiderX man, you go to the wrong bars. all my bars have space chess.

2

:O

and romulan ale

and peptide cake

@agent86 !

@agent86 I liked the war, did not enjoy most of the Sisko is the emissary stuff.

@TrentHawkins I watched maybe 5 episodes and was like "meh"

> Roddenberry had originally intended the Enterprise's bartender to be played by "the most beautiful girl in all creation."

@agent86 :O !

What. That's kind of creepy.

en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Guinan

@Wipqozn majel barret?

I probably murdered her name there.

You missed a T.

1:15 AM

@agent86 My best memories of DS9 revolve around Quark, Garrak and Bashir

@Wipqozn closer than I thought I was...

Garrak and Bashir were great.

@Wipqozn I don't even think Anna Kendrick was alive when this was a thing...

@RedRiderX has luxwana troi showed up yet?

she's played by barrett, roddenberry's wife, who is also the ship's computer voice

@agent86 I thought his name was erin or something

1:17 AM

@RedRiderX counselor troi's mom is who I'm talking about

OKay, I need to head off. Later ALLIGATORS!

@agent86 Oh well I saw her in S1

@agent86 Doesn't she show up in the first season?

If inot the first than the secnod.

OKay, TO BED!

@RedRiderX yeah, I thought it was pretty early. just a fun factoid. if her voice sounds familiar...

So don't vote for them?

@TimStone 23% of people are, apparently (the music festival is at 29% in the lead)

Tim Stone

I'm revoking those people's ability to access the internet.

@GnomeSlice The fact that it's even being considered offends me. Tunneling through Canada and suffering through latency was a more pleasant experience than watching NBC's coverage of the olympics

NBC Olympics demonstrates everything that is wrong about America, really; anyone who prefers to watch the fucking NBA over the Olympics is objectively incorrect F--

Objectively?

@uni you were with me right up until " anyone who prefers to watch the fucking NBA over the Olympics is objectively incorrect F--"

Because... The NBA is pretty great these days... And the Olympics are kind of a crapshoot.

2:00 AM

Okay, fair. I just wanted to fire shots at my roommate who was like "Oh, olympics are on? That's cool."

Either way, that coverage was objectively atrocious and you know it as well as I do.

It deserves no awards or recognition, since that would imply that NBC did a good thing requiring cable logins and cutting out all the boring stuff (read: anything that wasn't a final) for you, even for people like me who would have sort of liked to be able to watch some of the qualifying stuff. </soapbox>

@GnomeSlice yes. NBC has objectively screwed up at least their coverage of the last 3 Olympics

@MBraedley "anyone who prefers to watch the fucking NBA over the Olympics is objectively incorrect"

@GnomeSlice I admit to being wrong there

And I admit to that being me wanting to fire shots at my one particularly asshat roommate at any given opportunity

Not disagreeing, but any time someone is effectively forced to watch Olympic coverage from another country means the broadcaster has screwed up.

Look, basketball isn't the worst sport to watch on TV, but it's pretty close.

Professional basketball is pretty bad. College is tolerable.

2:10 AM

Canadian. Don't watch college b-ball

Some people will disagree, but I will respect their right to be wrong :P

Or college football for that matter

Oops, I think I might be pissing off the neighbours

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sorry, I'm in Cincinnati. Pro basketball isn't really a thing around here that people care about.

SPORTS WORDS

College basketball is a clusterfuck in which a bunch of modern day slaves are thrown into a gladiatorial arena to risk their health and future livelihoods for the enrichment of other people.

Now I just need P.K. To score the game winner

@LessPop_MoreFizz no, that's football

Or hockey

@mbraedley it's arguably more true of college basketball than college football. (And it's very true of college football.)

The march madness tournament is among the most lucrative sports television contracts in the world, right up there with the Super Bowl.

And yes, serious life changing injuries do happen in college basketball and they are terrifying to see happen.

OMG, that was so offside!

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not saying they don't. There was that guy that shattered his leg last year or the year before. I think.

But it's okay! They're not slaves! They can have unlimited salad and breadsticks! And bottomless pasta!

@StrixVaria I don't think we can be friends. Not even internet friends

I haven't really watched at all this season, so I had to actually double-check that Stamkos was still even on the Lightning :P

@Chippies While I agree the life without parole may be a bit much, he knew his friends were going to rob someone when he gave them the car. He said as much to the police. So, he's still an accomplice, even if the killing was unintentional.

@Fluttershy Was that part in the article? I didn't see it mention him knowing that they are planning to rob someone.

2:46 AM

Anyways, 2 points for Malkin, a point for Crosby, 2 points for Fleury for the win, that might put me in first place. Four more players tomorrow night.

@Chippies That part wasn't in the article, no. Because the article just wanted your sympathy. :P

2:47 AM

@Fluttershy Makes sense. Still though, seems a bit harsh for something he wasn't really a part of, even if he knew where they were going in his car (although he's a bit dumb if he gave them his car knowing what they were doing).

@Fluttershy "seemed to admit"?

or admitted?

because that's kinda important, imho

not that I'm a judge or what I think really matters in the situation :P

@Chippies What country do you live in? I have gleaned (although I don't know how correctly) that you know @GnomeSlice, but I also somehow came to the conclusion that you're in Europe.

> but he also “did testify that he had been told it might be necessary to ‘knock out’ Jessica Snyder.”

@StrixVaria I have lived my whole life in Europe, but I've lived in Canada for last 2 years

@Chippies Aha! I don't remember how I drew these conclusions, but I will now pat myself on the back.

@StrixVaria I think there was a big conversation about immigration and stuff a while ago :)

2:50 AM

@StrixVaria you take that back! He's a hometown hero! Not like that goon, Marchand

@MBraedley The Next One or whatever. Such a joke.

@Fluttershy Well, in that case he's dumb. Still though, the penalty seemed a bit harsh.

there's people that do worse and get less

@Chippies That's why people are trying to get the Felony Murder Rule removed.

@Fluttershy Just by a one-sentence definition of what Felony Murder Rule is, I figured out it's not a very good rule, lol
