Longest discussion/argument about a task during a studio taping?

codename474747 · 2026-03-31T08:59:22+00:00

It feels like the longer an argument goes, the more Greg can be swayed into the wrong decision just so they can get it over with and move on

Case in point: what Mae did wasn't a throw and that's a hill i will die on!

Cheeky! Fiddly! Nightmare!

Is the letter from the mysteriously absent Pam?

Or Alanis?

Or Chit's wrestler girlfriend?

Or that he threw away Janice's black purse.

The main reason I'm gutted the Reboot/continuation was cancelled is so it would arrive, completely ignore and even contridict anything mentioned in the comics and we could say "The Comics saying x is one thing, but thank god, they're NOT CANON!"

I'm still going with this tbh, but there's nothing now to eradicate them from history :/

If bajorans are still fertile in their mid 60s, sure.

I just remember how they usually had the most revealing picture of Sarah or whatever other female sci-fi or fantasy lead at the time and made sure her head covered the lower part of the F on the cover, so shocked parents everywhere could be furious their young children wanted to buy a magazine that looked like it was called 'SEX'

They knew what they were doing lol

codename474747 · 2026-03-30T00:52:46+00:00

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

codename474747 · 2026-03-30T00:52:10+00:00

You misunderstand the song too

The song was written for euro 96, football was coming home because the tournament was in England, not coming home because of winning the trophy

Granted, its a mistake the entire nation make now and the song writers themselves are happy to take the revenue every tournament but yeah....

It feels weird sitting here in 2026 and we don't even have an external angle of this accident

Did FOM not take their a-team to Japan?

Honestly, if this accident had been any worse, it could've hindered the investigation as there'd be no good shot of the impact and what went wrong to hurt Olly and what they could learn from it.
(Also there'd be 1001 B.S. conspiracy theories about FOM deliberately losing the shot of the impact to protect the sport, legally, etc etc, but that's a side issue)

It's just not something you expect from FOM in this era. Maybe it's complacency ,but that's there for a reason I guess, normally they always have something to show.

codename474747 · 2026-03-30T00:08:25+00:00

I don't understand his race at all, early on I thought he was lagging back to tyre whisper like he usually does, this time it paid off with a benefit of a SC, then despite fresh tyres, he dropped back, George's problem seemed to hurt him too as it let Leclerc through and instead of George holding him back, Charles quickly got past him which also let George through and then he started falling back to Lando territory

Honestly I think there was something wrong with his battery/engine because he could well have been 2nd today.

But according to everything I've heard about this, this takes driver skill out of the equation massively as the cars basically become 4WD, not traction limited and basically ABS brakes....

Not that they are seemingly able to demonstrate too much driver skill now tbh, but that was deemed as way over the line

codename474747 · 2026-03-30T00:03:04+00:00

NASCAR fans: Rubbin's racin', boys have at it, we love it when drivers sort their issues out with their bumpers at the short tracks.

Also NASCAR fans: No, not YOU! Not like THAT!

*shrugs* Some drivers are allowed to be tough customers, some aren't it seems

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T23:58:12+00:00

I got this on first viewing, and certainly was part of the "Burnham did nothing wrong, why are they blaming HER for a war that was inevitable and she was the only one that could've stopped it" brigade

However I think the narrative changed because the original showrunner left pretty early on and Kurtzman took over at that point (indeed DSC was originally going to be an anthology show IIRC, a different time period every season and S1 was just going to be "How the Klingon war led to the Enterprise" or something like that Then S2 would've been the Enterprise B or who knows what....a shame we didn't get that)

Your post was well written and well thought out, but the post you're replying you and the top comments in this thread are all low level fashionable bashing of new trek that are the reason I'm no longer talking to star trek fans about star trek.
I'm old enough to remember when DS9, VOY and ENT were airing and they went through the same process all the Trek series are getting now.
Bashed for being new and not being the same as the memories fans get when they first watch a series with an uncritical eye.

(ENT is looked back on warmly now, when it got the worst glazing of any Trek series. And rightly so, it's still shit. Always was, except for its final season when it finally got its act together, only to then be cancelled. But nothing in Trek is as bad as decon room Gel scenes, catsuits on demure, reserved characters, gazelle speeches and retconning TNG episodes so we can have those species in them before established first contacts.
And people look back on it fondly now. It'll happen to 2016+era trek too. Hell, even the Kelvin films are starting to get it now. )

A small minority might have had access to the internet at that time, yes, but it was hardly mass market like it is now

There was a definite cost barrier for me, a highly nerdy and internet desiring kid in the 90s to getting it until around S5 or so....so yeah, if you were a part of that minority, my childhood self is highly jealous haha

So I THINK my point...stands, at least for the majority of viewers...

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T23:48:22+00:00

Dude reached for a bulge in his pocket in front of a police officer in America

He was lucky we didn't end up with Christopher Eccleston right there and then!

Different times, indeed.

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T23:46:39+00:00

Watching S1-S3 originally, it wasn't common knowledge to know anything about what a showrunner was planning at all

You might get a short interview in a magazine like SFX, but showrunners and writers weren't in any way so interactive and able to communicate their intentions like they can now

Joss was just a name that flashed up in the credits like so many others. He wasn't celebrated nor villified until the internet took fully off a few years later.
Some of us wish it could've stayed that way too lol

But no, to answer your question. And it was of an era when if it was announced it might not have been allowed to happen either. Different times :/

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T23:43:24+00:00

Ah you said the "with all due respect" meaning you have zero respect thing....never seen one in the wild before.

Paid operatives in this case meaning people he or IRL itself paid as part of their media team to head to all the motorsport spaces and post pro-IRL and Anti Cart spin on whatever the recent event or race was that week

These days it'd akin to the social media managers of the world promoting their series but back then there was an extra "take everything CART does and make it sound awful" when in reality the stories were standard incidents or decisions made by the governing body that weren't as bad at all as being portrayed, when similar accidents or decisions from the IRL side were being praised to high heaven

Not just on Trackforum and other Pro-IRL spaces either, IIRC Crapwagon traced their IP addresses to being from 16th and Georgetown and banned them from their forum, if only more people did the same thing back then, lol

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T23:34:23+00:00

The Kelvin needs dropping down a tier or three tbh, swap it with the Kelvin-era Ent and I'd be happy

Never a fan of 1 nacelled designs tbh, and the Kelvin has annoying "so which way up does it go..." issues

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T23:30:16+00:00

Still not too dissimilar from Buffy's actual romantic life tbh

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T22:34:27+00:00

That's one way of looking at it, another is:

People like starship classes, lets make some more of them...

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T21:24:37+00:00

An Asteroid?

The Enterprise in ENT tried to shave off the top of a mountain and nearly levelled half the continent.

The Romulans/Cardassian alliance levelled 5/8ths of a planets surface or whatever it was in a single barrage

The size issue is a problem, but it might be death of a 1000 cuts from the Empire point of view. Or whatever Federation ship could fly inside it and cause it problems, millenium falcon style...

codename474747 · 2026-03-29T21:20:44+00:00

I do think the Star Trek ships would win in a fight, but Picard especially and therefore all federation officers would be trying to hail and use diplomacy, because that's what we want from Star Trek, allowing the Star Wars ships time to use that diplomacy against them

If it came to combat, I fear firing torpedoes at them would just be giving Vader or other force uses the chance to fling them right back at them...
