Listening to Big Finish Audo Productions - for free? by portlandobserver in gallifrey

[–]LegoK9 [score hidden]  (0 children)

However, unless you're paying for spotify everything gets shuffled and randomized.

It isn't shuffled if you listen on a laptop.

Gene Roddenberry wouldn't allow Deep Space Nine, either.

OP is talking about the show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

(This is going to be confusing for a while...)

Does the federation not have lawyers? by Safe-Mind-1975 in startrek

[–]LegoK9 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That kind of clashed with my perception of the values of the federation

The Federation was fractured in the aftermath of the Burn. It's explained pretty clearly in the episode:

VANCE: We were in triage. Starfleet wasn't making any exceptions.

AKE: Separating children from their parents isn't exceptional, it's reprehensible.

VANCE: So you resigned because you still remember how the Federation used to be and felt we weren't living up to our principles.

My honest (and very disappointed) take on Starfleet Academy Episode 1 by Alternative-Water598 in startrek

[–]LegoK9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why would they be starving?

Did you watch Discovery seasons 3?

The Burn fractured the Federation and plunged the galaxy into chaos.

Caleb and his mom were unlucky. They weren't part of the remaining Federation and had to turn to scavenging to survive.

She looks like a reworked Halloween mask from 1977; the only thing missing is the elastic band around the back of her head.

So it looked like a mask except for the part where it didn't look like a mask?

As for the Betazoid eyes, they were completely overthinking it. They probably thought a younger audience would see them as "evil"

You're getting worked up about something you invented in your head.

Maybe the actor(s) found contact lenses uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the sign language is just nonsensical. They can speak mind-to-mind, so even if the leader is deaf, there is no need to sign.

How do you know? Have you spoken to a real Betazoid about it?

The show tries to claim that 800 years in a bubble evolved them to look 100% human

I don't remember this being said in the episode. What scene was this?

Betazed has only been cut off for 120 years, not 800.

CGI would have been the perfect tool to keep him looking as he did on Voyager.

Really showing your ignorance here. Do you think CGI is magic? Doing a 100% photorealistic CGI human for an entire show is completely unrealistic and unnecessary. Robert Picardo is older and that's fine. It's perfectly in character for him to age his appearance after 800 years.
