@riskybryzness still sad they cancelled universe. Atlantis was not bad although those were not the three I was going for since they all count as one. Richard Dean Anderson is excellent. There are fish.
The three STAR* meant to be separate series/movies etc
@riskybryzness universe was weird and it’s sort of hard to watch because they just killed it before it got anywhere. At the time we had hope for it going somewhere. And wanted to see Stargate continue.
At least SG1 and Atlantis got the final movies to sort of close them out.
@riskybryzness also if you like scifi of that era before they renamed it Syfy. Back when we watched cable. Wharehouse 13 and Sanctuary were decent. Amanda tapping/Carter was the star of Sanctuary.
@riskybryzness@tinamarie1974 I think I got into the original sanuary cause more Amanda tapping instead of the actual script at the start. And in college we had a scifi Friday in the apartment. I haven’t had cable for almost a decade. But if they are rebooting it and it’s accessible. Worth a look. Thanks
@blaineg lol it’s an obscure reference. I think it’s episode Moebius where they time travel back to steal the ZPM from Rah but they break the timeline. Then none of SG1 know eachother they have to find the gate and time travel to fix it again. There’s a before where jack and Carter are fishing at his pond even though there are no fish. After they fix the timeline he gets a bite and Carter’s like… Wait you said there were no fish. Jack just goes eh close enough.
Idk why that particular example of Jack popped in my head
@eonfifty@rockblossom lol there were plenty of things “wrong” with it. Did 7 of 9 need to be in a skin tight suit? Etc etc. But it was trek and it was enjoyable and I like Janeway. The first season of TNG you actually have to grimace and bear till it gets better. Voyager wasn’t awful to start.
I don’t think SG1 ever actually got bad. But it was done with a sense of humor.
In the reign of Les Moonface, CBS shows almost always required one female in skimpy attire and all humans had to be hetero, because (of course) all SF fans must be horny teenage boys. I like CBS a lot better now without Moonface. I love 7 of 9 in ST Picard - minus the catsuit and double the badass attitude.
@unksol Many things bug me about the whole ST franchise, but these are the ones that bother me the most:
Their communicators also act as universal translators. So how come they can still communicate with other species when they are not wearing them?
Artificial gravity and inertial dampeners on all of the ships, even the tiny shuttles. So why do they get knocked off their feet by a weapon firing on their shields?
Why is the bridge always put on top of the ship in an easily recognized and very vulnerable spot? It’s not like they need to look out a window to steer.
aside from that… i have a small grievance with the Trek Fandom…
we have a marker in Iowa for Kirk’s Future Birth place.
there is now (under construction) a marker/statue in Bloomington IN, Marking Janeway’s Birthplace…
Is there anything in New Orleans for Sisko? not that I can find any references to…
DS9 has always been my Fav. of the series. and Ben Sisko my Fav. Capt.
Come on Community…Lets get this built!
even Fictional Future Black Lives Matter!
to be honest I don’t know if there’s a marker in France for Picard…
@earlyre@rockblossom I mean. Janeway was supposed to be driven a little insane by all the compromises. Isolation. Etc. She went full on time travel at the end lol.
They just broke ground on Janeway’s like 3 weeks ago and… Had never heard of it… I don’t really know why they would bother. May be enough nerds in Bloomington? Or just one super fan with the property lol. I’m from Indiana but never really thought about where she was from despite the whole millennium gateway thing.
I could take or leave Kirk honestly. And there is not much going on in Iowa let’s be honest. But the start of trek is something I guess so weird tourist attraction?
Picard was excellent. But it was an American TV show and do the French care? And who would go see it?
Loved DS9 although a lot of people slammed it as a space soap opera or whatever vs other trek? Sisko was excellent and I like the whole cast. And actually having long running plot lines and character interaction instead of short ones or just one offs. The dominion war and the defiant. Love that ship.
Would I go to a marker for the imaginary birth place of any character? No. There’s probably enough else going on in new Orleans and not enough nerds draw to consider it an attraction I’d guess. But I’m sure there are some hardcore fans lurking in a city that size of you can find them.
@rockblossom lmao. Please. The number of times they get kidnapped and they have actually intentionally used subdermal communicators for plot? Why don’t they all have one standard and then remove it if it could be scanned for for espionage? The number of times they beam up a communicator without a person? Transporters can’t tell the difference between an ounce and a person but can beam them up intact? Yeah that annoys me.
Internal dampers would be keyed to compensate for the ship systems it was sycned with. Not an unplanned externally generated event. It’s reasonable to assume there would be lag between an external force and the compensation. Not using seats or seatbelts and the constantly exploding consules… Well that’s… Dumb.
The bridge… Well the ship style was designed off naval vessels in the 60s. And they carried it forward.But we have seen battle bridges.
Lots of trek requires suspension of disbelief/physics. Just the warp calculations are wildly different and not consistent.
Then there is discovery. It’s scifi. You just have to let go lol
@earlyre lol I don’t do home design/pics/framed things. I need a woman to tell me where to hang something. Or someone who is into things? I’m fine with the walls being walls.
In have hooks on tap and a laser level. If I’m going to hang something on a wall it will be done right lol
@blaineg@unksol not really a concern here in NWBuckeyeland…
We do occasionally get them, but the strongest in my lifetime has been about a 2 on the richter scale…
@blaineg@earlyre@unksol
1978: 5.7 quake with epicenter close to Hohenzollern Castle in Germany. I was about 30 miles north living in an old German Army barracks made of stone and oak. The heavy oak furniture was dancing across the floors, along with the couch and a full-size 'fridge that managed to walk far enough to unplug itself. Potted plants balanced on the radiator and a couple of pics on the wall - nada. They barely moved. I suppose it depends a lot on the frequency/direction of the shockwaves.
@rockblossom nothing like that. The bed moved a little. If that Midwest fault line ever really goes no one is prepped/nothing is built for it. I’m sure it was probably more… Interesting… If 30 miles out instead of a hundred+. Difference between fealt and impacted
I have been rewatching! One of my favorite shows and characters.
@riskybryzness still sad they cancelled universe. Atlantis was not bad although those were not the three I was going for since they all count as one. Richard Dean Anderson is excellent. There are fish.

Either way you win for getting “indeed”
@unksol I haven’t watched much of universe, it’s next on my list. Atlantis was my favorite but SG1 will have a special place in my heart.

@unksol LOVED warehouse 13. I need to rewatch both of those.
@riskybryzness @unksol so I just googled Sanctuary as I had never heard of it. Looks like there is gonna be a reboot. Thought you might be interested!

@blaineg strangely there is a whole wiki page for fishing.
https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Fishing
@unksol Jack’s fishing pond crossed my mind, but I was thinking there were no fish.
While Teal’c would win the Indeed! Olympics, he has some competition from ST Voyager’s Tuvok, who Indeeded his way across the Delta Quadrant.
@rockblossom idk why people give Voyager such crap. I like Janeway and the whole thing

@eonfifty @rockblossom @unksol great episode
@eonfifty @jaybird @rockblossom it’s just groundhog day in SG1 form
But seriously? In his back swing!?!?!

In the reign of Les Moonface, CBS shows almost always required one female in skimpy attire and all humans had to be hetero, because (of course) all SF fans must be horny teenage boys.

@unksol Many things bug me about the whole ST franchise, but these are the ones that bother me the most:
@rockblossom @unksol
Look at how many people hate the episode “Darmok”.
Personally, it’s one of my very favorite. It’s one of the few times we got “alien” aliens, instead of humans with bumpy foreheads.
If you want to tell ANY other story than language translation, you have to deal with it.
@rockblossom @unksol even Kate Milgrew has said that Janeway was insane…
aside from that… i have a small grievance with the Trek Fandom…

@earlyre I can’t tell if he’s calling his escape route or she answered correctly and he wants to bring her home to mom. I’m going with the latter
@unksol I’m thinking she gave the correct answer. The one that signifies a keeper…
I just wish it was a Hammond quote instead of Landry… But “Sargeant” followed by a head nod is harder to illustrate while getting the point across…
@earlyre @unksol
Looks like somebody is getting a free weekend at the Alpha Site. Hubba hubba.
I bought a poster of this one… framed it, but haven’t put it up yet…
@earlyre are you just to lazy to put up the hook? Or have you been vetoed by someone? Lol
@unksol chronically lazy… I have…AT LEAST a half dozen framed things that have never made it to a wall…
@earlyre lol I don’t do home design/pics/framed things. I need a woman to tell me where to hang something. Or someone who is into things? I’m fine with the walls being walls.
In have hooks on tap and a laser level. If I’m going to hang something on a wall it will be done right lol
@earlyre @unksol Well if you don’t hang them up, an earthquake can’t knock them down.
@blaineg @unksol not really a concern here in NWBuckeyeland…
We do occasionally get them, but the strongest in my lifetime has been about a 2 on the richter scale…
@blaineg @earlyre lol I’ve only felt one earthquake in my life and I was in bed/not sure what it was.
Probably was the 5.2 in mount Carmel Illinois in 2008. That you could feel in indiana
