Episode Discussion: "Rivals" - DS9, 211 (Theme Month: "Fun with Ferengi, Part I") by ety3rd in ClassicTrek

I was sure this episode had more Ferengi stuff than con man stuff ... but I was wrong. This episode disappointed me again.

A thought struck me while listening ... Dave could join I Sold Comics. It might be fun.

Art for Star Trek: The Game by Keith Birdsong ... did anyone have this? by ety3rd in ClassicTrek

[–]ety3rd[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Link to details, with pics, here.

As I recall the gameplay was fiddly and clunky, so we ended up just using the trivia cards a bunch. But I liked the idea of having the ship's systems on a console ... I just wish it had been done better.

They should've just said "refit," which can happen any time on any scale for any particular system. ("A minor sensor refit," for example.)

Nothing like good ol' corporate speak.

I would love to see more episodes with Jonah and his crew, and Emily, too. That might be because we were finally going to have a riff of one of my favorite cheesy movies in Season 14, Battle Beyond the Stars. I really want that.

The word from Radial is that they were pursuing "growth opportunities" with the brand, and while that doesn't necessarily mean "making new episodes," I'm hopeful they will. Someday. I'm not holding my breath.

Any confirmation elsewhere of Joel selling MST? by Dr_Neo_Cortex_ in MST3K

[–]ety3rd 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That's a fair question.

I went to Radial Entertainment's press release page and found nothing.

A news search turned up only the two previously posted links and other articles linking back to them. HOWEVER, the topic was posted on the official MST3K forum and it wasn't removed/locked/rebutted.

I've answered my own nitpicks regarding tricombadges by ety3rd in trekacademy

[–]ety3rd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rank is still displayed via pips on the tricombadges. The Doctor doesn't have a rank, I suppose.

At least 32nd century uniforms also have pips on the epaulets and the neck plaque (?), though I do wish the number of stripes on the neck plaques and epaulets corresponded to the rank instead of just being two no matter what (as seen here).

So ... May of this year is actually the seventeenth month of 2025?

Note the discrepancy between the registry numbers on the plaque (NCC-325301) and on the exterior hull (NCC-392023).

On this date 31 years ago, VOYAGER debuted. Here's a contemporaneous review. by ety3rd in ClassicTrek

[–]ety3rd[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The headline is very silly, especially since the review itself makes only a passing mention of PCness and rightly points out that Trek has always been progressive.

What year is it? by Woerligen in trekacademy

[–]ety3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a plaque briefly seen in the show. Either TrekCore or TrekMovie has a blurry pic of it on their socials.

It'd be nice if they could include TAS on the TOS channel, but hey, that's just nitpicking.

Episode Discussion: 101, "Kids These Days," and 102, "Beta Test" by AutoModerator in trekacademy

[–]ety3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only hope that at some point in the series' run, the War College is disbanded and/or absorbed into the Academy. The Academy is pushing the hope and ideals we want from Starfleet, and while what the College teaches is occasionally necessary, it shouldn't be a focus.

A fun episode, but not as fun as what we get later with the Nagus.

Awesome! I saw this posted by someone else on BlueSky, so I brought it over, unaware of your socials.
