Do you really want TOS Klingons or Romulans??

mactan@lemmy.ml on 23 Sep 17:16 next collapse

I know this may come as a shock but there are in fact other aliens for a Starfleet crew to interact with

Tribbles??

mactan@lemmy.ml on 23 Sep 18:42 next collapse

YES!

Mariner Beckett has a Tribble

Gene Roddenberry hated the tribble episode because it was funny. How’s that for Star Trek purity?

IMHO, I vastly prefer the TOS Romulans. The TNG --> era Romulans with the bumpy foreheads and 80’s super-shoulderpaddings look just ridiculous. I remember reading that the network specifically wanted the TNG Romulans to have a distinct look from Vulcans, so that “the viewers won’t get confused who are the baddies”.

PIC had both Romulan incarnations and did a great job retconning this by just mentioning the “bumpy forehead northeners” out loud.

Movie/TNG Klingons were an unquestionable upgrade, though.

Well we aren’t going to cut off the young actor’s Finger to match OG Scotty. That’s just cruel.

Bro they designed and sewed a screen-accurate Monster Maroon uniform for Anson Mount to wear in a thirty second scene where he meets himself from an alternate future. They established, then sidelined the Recreation Room so that they could do a holodeck episode without breaking continuity. They wrote an entire episode that explained why the 1990s changed between TOS and reality. I don’t know what kind of continuity you’re looking for, but they’re doing a lot of hard work to keep the continuity rock-solid.

I used the same tartan in my wedding!! Based on name/ wedding colors (and being able to choose from a few). The Star Trek connection makes it better!

I just really love how they tell everyone the Captain’s dinner is formal the first time they come.
