• Picard is getting silly

    From Steve Dodds@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 1 11:23:36 2022
    So I'm watching Picard episode 4 or 5, they have time traveled to 2024 and one of Picard's ancestors is in NASA preparing for a trip to Europa, really Europa in 2024! Then they mention she finds an organism on IO, thought it was Europa.
    Does nobody connected to this show understand science fiction? Does nobody connected with this show understand current events?

    Has anybody connected to any Star Trek show *ever* understood
    *science*, much less science *fiction*? Hollywood is a fantasy land,
    with no connection to the real world.

    If you're going all that way, why would you only visit one location?
    Europa and Io *are* both moons of Jupiter, so it's not like they're on
    oppostie ends of the solar system.

    NASA is launching a "Europa Clipper" spacecraft to go to Europa in
    October 2024, but it of course won't be a manned mission. I haven't
    seen this Picard episode, but perhaps you were getting confused about
    her actually physically going there.

    Star Dreck Pick-a-card started out silly; I didn’t get all the way through the first episode of the first season. I am not at all surprised that it’s getting worse.

    I'm not confused, it's definitely a manned mission, the astronaut Picard's great-niece, is being put into quarantine to be launched the next day, in 2024. And as to visiting IO is NASA really going to plan 2 landings? And what about all the radiation?

    I don't know any more about it than the launch, but the comment about
    visiting two locations at the same time wasn't based on NASA's real
    mission, but any fictional manned one - if you're sending someone all
    that way, it would make sense to visit at least some of the others
    Jupiter moons, as well as perhaps other places on the way there / back
    if they're easy to get to on the trajectory.

    Even some of NASA's unmanned missions do multiple tasks (e.g. sending a
    lander down while the main craft does some orbital photography).

    Any decent encyclopedia published since the time of Gallileo will say
    the same thing. But I'm guessing he's reacting to the fact that it is
    Europa that some scientists believe may harbour life in its oceans.

    Not that they're paying attention, but Star Trek history is quite
    different from ours. For instance, we didn't have World War III -- at
    least, not yet. Of course, Voyager completely ignored WW3 when the
    ship went back in time to meet Sarah Silverman.

    I know people have already commented on the Guinan weirdness, where she doesn't remember Picard even though she'd already met him in the 1800s
    with Mark Twain, but if they're going to retcon her into not knowing
    Picard in 2024, why would she be operating a bar at 10 Forward Street?
    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s, she still wouldn't
    know about the Enterprise-D and its 10-Forward lounge until the 23rd
    Century, so we're just supposed to think her Los Angeles dive bar was a tremendous coincidence or something?

    All I can conclude is that entire writers room was spectacularly high
    and this whole subplot came about when one of them giggled through a
    cloud of pot smoke, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." and that's as much thought as any of them put into it.


    The TNG writers were proud of not knowing anything about TOS. Maybe their tradition continues and the Picard writers don’t know anything about TNG.

    That's pretty much standard operating procedure for Hollyweird.

    The makers of the new "Halo" TV series proudly stated they never looked
    at or dicussed the games.

    Jonathan Frakes was put in charge of the "Thunderbirds" movie, but knew absolutely nothing about the original show, then watched a couple of
    episodes and thought he knew it all (and the movie proves he still knew nothing).

    The first Smurfs cinema movie stupidly moved the characters to New York.

    The list of blunders is near endless. :-(

    I'm afraid so. I've heard a great deal about the process, enough to
    know that anyone who ever sold a story to Star Trek wound up not
    recognizing the results, the way you don't recognize Cousin Billy Bob
    anymore after he's fallen into the reaper.

    I could defend this, but the hacks behind this don't understand
    Star Trek
    history either.

    Not that they're paying attention, but Star Trek history is quite
    different from ours. For instance, we didn't have World War III -- at
    least, not yet. Of course, Voyager completely ignored WW3 when the
    ship went back in time to meet Sarah Silverman.

    I know people have already commented on the Guinan weirdness, where she
    doesn't remember Picard even though she'd already met him in the 1800s
    with Mark Twain, but if they're going to retcon her into not knowing
    Picard in 2024, why would she be operating a bar at 10 Forward Street?
    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s, she still wouldn't
    know about the Enterprise-D and its 10-Forward lounge until the 23rd
    Century, so we're just supposed to think her Los Angeles dive bar was a
    tremendous coincidence or something?

    All I can conclude is that entire writers room was spectacularly high
    and this whole subplot came about when one of them giggled through a
    cloud of pot smoke, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." and that's as much
    thought as any of them put into it.

    The TNG writers were proud of not knowing anything about TOS. Maybe their
    tradition continues and the Picard writers don't know anything about TNG.

    That's pretty much standard operating procedure for Hollyweird.

    The makers of the new "Halo" TV series proudly stated they never looked
    at or dicussed the games.

    Jonathan Frakes was put in charge of the "Thunderbirds" movie, but knew absolutely nothing about the original show, then watched a couple of
    episodes and thought he knew it all (and the movie proves he still knew nothing).

    The first Smurfs cinema movie stupidly moved the characters to New York.

    The list of blunders is near endless.  :-(

    And they are working hard to remove "near" from that sentence.

    NASA is launching a "Europa Clipper" spacecraft to go to Europa in

    She wasn't the original 'owner' or manager to the D's lounge. She only
    showed up later, after it was already named and its name was literally
    just its location on the ship-- Deck 10, forward-most compartment.

    In any organization worth being called an "organization", no, that would

    But we're talking about Hollywood writers so of course it is possible in

    I'm not confused, it's definitely a manned mission, the astronaut
    Picard's great-niece, is being put into quarantine to be launched the
    next day, in 2024. And as to visiting IO is NASA really going to plan
    2 landings? And what about all the radiation?

    Actually all the radiation would be why they would want to do two
    landings. Get the most out of the ship before its electronics become
    fried beyond operability.

    Star Dreck Pick-a-card started out silly; I didn't get all the

    all surprised that it's getting worse.



    NASA is launching a "Europa Clipper" spacecraft to go to Europa
    in October 2024, but it of course won't be a manned mission. I
    haven't seen this Picard episode, but perhaps you were getting
    confused about her actually physically going there.
    <https://europa.nasa.gov/mission/about/>

    I'm not confused, it's definitely a manned mission, the
    astronaut Picard's great-niece, is being put into quarantine to
    be launched the next day, in 2024. And as to visiting IO is
    NASA really going to plan 2 landings? And what about all the
    radiation?

    Actually all the radiation would be why they would want to do
    two landings. Get the most out of the ship before its
    electronics become fried beyond operability.

    Galileo orbited Jupiter for seven years. It was still functional
    enough at the end of that time to deliberately de-orbit into
    Jupiter. And that was nearly 30 years ago.

    I suspect that more than two landings could be arranged in seven
    years, for a manned (or womanned, as the case may be) mission.

    It's set in an alternate Star Trek timeline.


    I could defend this, but the hacks behind this don't understand Star Trek >>> history either.

    Not that they're paying attention, but Star Trek history is quite
    different from ours. For instance, we didn't have World War III -- at
    least, not yet. Of course, Voyager completely ignored WW3 when the
    ship went back in time to meet Sarah Silverman.


    Voyager didn't ignore it. There was a blink and you miss it reference.


    I know people have already commented on the Guinan weirdness, where she doesn't remember Picard even though she'd already met him in the 1800s
    with Mark Twain, but if they're going to retcon her into not knowing
    Picard in 2024, why would she be operating a bar at 10 Forward Street?


    I complained bitterly about Guinan not remembering Picard from the
    1880s. But someone else pointed out that in the new timeline there
    wouldn't have been an Enterprise D captained by Picard to go back in
    time and meet her.


    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s, she still wouldn't
    know about the Enterprise-D and its 10-Forward lounge until the 23rd
    Century, so we're just supposed to think her Los Angeles dive bar was a tremendous coincidence or something?



    I rolled my eyes at that too. But it's easy enough to fanwank. She
    named the bar on the Enterprise after her bar on Earth. It might very
    well be coincidentally on the 10th deck, but if her bar wasn't there no
    one would call it 10 forward.

    Only if you forget that the bar was in the Forward Compartment of Deck 10.

    It was? I thought it was an arbitrary name. Well, she still could have selected the placement to fit the name. It's a bit more of a stretch, but it
    seems within possibility.

    Guinan wasn't even the original bartender. And that's all she ever was:
    a bartender. She didn't own the place such that she could decide where
    on the ship it was going to be or what it should be referred to.

    The starship's designers in Starfleet HQ were the ones who decided to
    include a recreational lounge and pit it on the leading edge of the Enterprise's saucer on Deck 10.

    https://i.stack.imgur.com/GhbBD.jpg

    https://i.imgur.com/xeBbHSc.jpg

    In any organization worth being called an "organization", no, that would
    not have been possible. There is no way an individual could show up at
    the ship design offices or the shipyard and just said, "Put a bar in the
    ship here."

    Exactly.

    Here's an interesting article on how the lounge itself didn't really fit
    where it would be on the original model of the ship and how that was
    changed when subsequent models of the ship were made.

    https://whatculture.com/tv/star-trek-10-more-secrets-of-the-uss-enterpris e-d-you-need-to-know?page=5

    The Ten Forward lounge was introduced at the start of STAR TREK: THE
    NEXT GENERATION's second season in the episode "The Child". Prior to
    that, numerous lounge and dining areas appeared aboard the Enterprise-D
    as temporary "swing" sets (like the dining room in "Haven") or redresses
    of the crew quarters (see "Justice"), but Ten Forward was intended to be permanent standing set and a place to tell more personal stories about
    the Starfleet crew.

    The impressive Ten Forward set was designed by Herman Zimmerman and
    constructed when the production moved to a new, larger soundstage. With
    its three bays of windows looking out into space, the producers decided
    to place Ten Forward at the tip of the Enterprise's saucer to match the numerous clusters of windows that already existed on the filming
    miniature.

    According to the ships' designer, Andrew Probert, those windows were
    intended to be lounge areas, but they weren't supposed to look like Ten Forward. Worse, as envisioned by Probert, the tip of the Enterprise's
    saucer wasn't even large enough to accommodate Ten Forward as it was
    designed. The lounge was too big to fit in the space where it was
    supposed to be on the ship.

    Much to Probert's irritation, the producers ignored existing concept
    artwork for those areas as well as pre-determined deck sizes, choosing
    the underside of the saucer section for Ten Forward's location. This
    decision created a discrepancy between the Enterprise-D filming
    miniature and the sets, until a second model of the ship was constructed
    in the third season which reflected the redesigned saucer section.

    Still, footage of the older model and the new one was used
    interchangeably throughout the rest of the series, creating a whole
    other set of problems...

    During preproduction on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, the producers
    were able to secure the services of ILM (usually reserved for major
    motion pictures, including the TOS features) to construct the filming
    miniature of the Enterprise-D. ILM also shot numerous pieces of stock
    footage of the Enterprise flying past camera, entering orbit, jumping to
    warp, and other generic shots which the producers planned to use
    throughout the run of the show.

    That plan was quickly proved to be shortsighted and new footage of the Enterprise was deemed necessary for the rest of the season, though it
    would have to be filmed without ILM. Still using the six-foot model,
    TNG's VFX producers found the Enterprise-D miniature difficult to shoot
    due its size and awkward mounting points.

    By the third season, the producers commissioned another, smaller model
    of the Enterprise, which was constructed by Gregory Jein. This new
    four-foot model featured an expanded saucer rim (so that Ten Forward
    could finally, realistically fit inside the ship) and exaggerated hull
    paneling and details. Called a "bulldog" by VFX producer Dan Curry for
    it's "stockier" build, the four-foot Enterprise debuted in the episode
    "The Defector" as new footage intercut with older shots of the six-foot
    model.

    Due to footage of the two models being intercut like that, the
    Enterprise-D would often change appearance between scenes, from the
    sleeker, smoother six-foot Enterprise to the more detailed and stockier four-footer, within any given episode.

    Discrepancies in the Enterprise-D's appearance only worsened with the introduction of CGI models of the ship, starting with 1994's STAR TREK GENERATIONS. For that film, ILM yet again provided the visual effects,
    shooting new effects sequences with the original six-foot model (with
    new details and a new paint scheme) as well as creating a
    computer-generated model of the ship. While close in appearance to the
    two physical models, ILM's digital Enterprise-D still featured a more pronounced deflector dish and blockier appearance.

    You have to forget a great deal if you want to appreciate Star Trek.


    Including, ironically enough, Star Trek itself.

    I’m not sure that’s right. Was there ever an introductory episode for her character where they said she just came aboard that day? Or was she just tending bar the first time we saw her. After she was an established
    character we still saw the bar running without her probably more often than not. So she could’ve easily been there from day one.

    This is easy enough to confirm. Be right back.

    Bah. No, it’s not. Guinean’s‘s first appearance is S02E01 “the child“ Problem is it went behind a pay wall again probably on April 1.

    The only place I can watch it free is planet Pluto and there I can only
    wait for when it comes around. Not gonna happen.

    timeline there wouldn't have been an Enterprise D captained by
    Picard to go back in time and meet her.

    Fanwank to cover up the utterly incompetence of the script writers
    and producers at continuity. Which is a day that ends in "y."


    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s, she still
    wouldn't know about the Enterprise-D and its 10-Forward lounge
    until the 23rd Century, so we're just supposed to think her Los
    Angeles dive bar was a tremendous coincidence or something?



    I rolled my eyes at that too. But it's easy enough to fanwank.
    She named the bar on the Enterprise after her bar on Earth. It
    might very well be coincidentally on the 10th deck, but if her
    bar wasn't there no one would call it 10 forward.

    Wank wank wank. At some point, the wankage is all there is.

    At some point you go blind.

    But she wasn't the manager/operator of the Enterprise lounge from the
    beginning. She only showed up later, after it was already named and
    established-- and then only because of its literal deckspace on the ship.

    I'm not sure that's right. Was there ever an introductory episode for her character where they said she just came aboard that day? Or was she just tending bar the first time we saw her. After she was an established
    character we still saw the bar running without her probably more often than not. So she could've easily been there from day one.

    This is easy enough to confirm. Be right back.

    Bah. No, it's not. Guinean's's first appearance is S02E01 "the child"
    Problem is it went behind a pay wall again probably on April 1.

    The only place I can watch it free is planet Pluto and there I can only
    wait for when it comes around. Not gonna happen.

    There's very little detail about Guinan and her history - supposedly
    done on purpose to keep the character mysterious, but more likely so
    that the writers could do whatever they wanted.

    If you really want to watch it, then "The Child" is watchable at <https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7wff1u>
    The quality isn't good (especially the sound) and I think it's been
    cropped. Like many DailyMotion videos, it's also been flipped
    horizontally. I'm not sure, but I think Guinan / Ten Forward first
    appears about the 31min mark.

    Without visiting them all and them all having a "why we called it this"

    an after-school centre, so may well be for kids 10 years and old, hence "TenForward".

    It was? I thought it was an arbitrary name. Well, she still could have
    selected the placement to fit the name. It's a bit more of a stretch, but it
    seems within possibility.

    Guinan wasn't even the original bartender. And that's all she ever was:
    a bartender. She didn't own the place such that she could decide where
    on the ship it was going to be or what it should be referred to.

    The starship's designers in Starfleet HQ were the ones who decided to
    include a recreational lounge and pit it on the leading edge of the >Enterprise's saucer on Deck 10.

    https://i.stack.imgur.com/GhbBD.jpg

    https://i.imgur.com/xeBbHSc.jpg

    In any organization worth being called an "organization", no, that would
    not have been possible. There is no way an individual could show up at
    the ship design offices or the shipyard and just said, "Put a bar in the
    ship here."

    Exactly.

    Here's an interesting article on how the lounge itself didn't really fit >where it would be on the original model of the ship and how that was
    changed when subsequent models of the ship were made.

    https://whatculture.com/tv/star-trek-10-more-secrets-of-the-uss-enterprise-d-you-need-to-know?page=5

    The Ten Forward lounge was introduced at the start of STAR TREK: THE
    NEXT GENERATION's second season in the episode "The Child". Prior to
    that, numerous lounge and dining areas appeared aboard the Enterprise-D
    as temporary "swing" sets (like the dining room in "Haven") or redresses
    of the crew quarters (see "Justice"), but Ten Forward was intended to be >permanent standing set and a place to tell more personal stories about
    the Starfleet crew.

    The impressive Ten Forward set was designed by Herman Zimmerman and >constructed when the production moved to a new, larger soundstage. With
    its three bays of windows looking out into space, the producers decided
    to place Ten Forward at the tip of the Enterprise's saucer to match the >numerous clusters of windows that already existed on the filming
    miniature.

    According to the ships' designer, Andrew Probert, those windows were
    intended to be lounge areas, but they weren't supposed to look like Ten >Forward. Worse, as envisioned by Probert, the tip of the Enterprise's
    saucer wasn't even large enough to accommodate Ten Forward as it was >designed. The lounge was too big to fit in the space where it was
    supposed to be on the ship.

    Much to Probert's irritation, the producers ignored existing concept
    artwork for those areas as well as pre-determined deck sizes, choosing
    the underside of the saucer section for Ten Forward's location. This
    decision created a discrepancy between the Enterprise-D filming
    miniature and the sets, until a second model of the ship was constructed
    in the third season which reflected the redesigned saucer section.

    Still, footage of the older model and the new one was used
    interchangeably throughout the rest of the series, creating a whole
    other set of problems...

    During preproduction on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, the producers
    were able to secure the services of ILM (usually reserved for major
    motion pictures, including the TOS features) to construct the filming >miniature of the Enterprise-D. ILM also shot numerous pieces of stock
    footage of the Enterprise flying past camera, entering orbit, jumping to >warp, and other generic shots which the producers planned to use
    throughout the run of the show.

    That plan was quickly proved to be shortsighted and new footage of the >Enterprise was deemed necessary for the rest of the season, though it
    would have to be filmed without ILM. Still using the six-foot model,
    TNG's VFX producers found the Enterprise-D miniature difficult to shoot
    due its size and awkward mounting points.

    By the third season, the producers commissioned another, smaller model
    of the Enterprise, which was constructed by Gregory Jein. This new
    four-foot model featured an expanded saucer rim (so that Ten Forward
    could finally, realistically fit inside the ship) and exaggerated hull >paneling and details. Called a "bulldog" by VFX producer Dan Curry for
    it's "stockier" build, the four-foot Enterprise debuted in the episode
    "The Defector" as new footage intercut with older shots of the six-foot >model.

    Due to footage of the two models being intercut like that, the
    Enterprise-D would often change appearance between scenes, from the
    sleeker, smoother six-foot Enterprise to the more detailed and stockier >four-footer, within any given episode.

    Discrepancies in the Enterprise-D's appearance only worsened with the >introduction of CGI models of the ship, starting with 1994's STAR TREK >GENERATIONS. For that film, ILM yet again provided the visual effects, >shooting new effects sequences with the original six-foot model (with
    new details and a new paint scheme) as well as creating a
    computer-generated model of the ship. While close in appearance to the
    two physical models, ILM's digital Enterprise-D still featured a more >pronounced deflector dish and blockier appearance.

    Thanks!

    It's set in an alternate Star Trek timeline.

    In an alternate universe, with alternate physical laws

    I could defend this, but the hacks behind this don't

    Not that they're paying attention, but Star Trek history is
    quite different from ours. For instance, we didn't have
    World War III -- at least, not yet. Of course, Voyager
    completely ignored WW3 when the ship went back in time to
    meet Sarah Silverman.


    Voyager didn't ignore it. There was a blink and you miss it
    reference.

    Voyager was too stupid to watch, much like Enterprise and
    pretty much everything after DS9 (which wasn't too stupid to
    watch, it was just so disconnected from Star Trek is wasn't
    worth the bother).


    I know people have already commented on the Guinan weirdness,
    where she doesn't remember Picard even though she'd already
    met him in the 1800s with Mark Twain, but if they're going to
    retcon her into not knowing Picard in 2024, why would she be
    operating a bar at 10 Forward Street?


    I complained bitterly about Guinan not remembering Picard from
    the 1880s. But someone else pointed out that in the new
    timeline there wouldn't have been an Enterprise D captained by
    Picard to go back in time and meet her.

    Fanwank to cover up the utterly incompetence of the script
    writers and producers at continuity. Which is a day that ends
    in "y."


    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s, she still
    wouldn't know about the Enterprise-D and its 10-Forward
    lounge until the 23rd Century, so we're just supposed to
    think her Los Angeles dive bar was a tremendous coincidence
    or something?



    I rolled my eyes at that too. But it's easy enough to
    fanwank. She named the bar on the Enterprise after her bar on
    Earth. It might very well be coincidentally on the 10th deck,
    but if her bar wasn't there no one would call it 10 forward.

    Wank wank wank. At some point, the wankage is all there is.

    At some point you go blind.

    I'll take you word for it. I stopped watching anything other than
    TOS reruns years ago.

    A quick Google search turns up mostly Star Trek references,
    but there are also a few other real-life places using that
    name, including a "performing arts venue and bar" in
    Massachusetts.

    Are there any that aren't clearly based on the show?

    Without visiting them all and them all having a "why we called
    it this" page (or emailing/phoning them to ask), there's no way
    to know. One is an after-school centre, so may well be for kids
    10 years and old, hence "TenForward".

    I'll bet they were still inspired by the show.

    After she was an established character we still saw the bar

    If memory serves, Guinan's always been there and had a

    Less mysterious, perhaps, than you realize.

    Memory Alpha has a pretty decent complation from primary srouces.

    but if her bar wasn't there no one would call it 10 forward.

    But she wasn't the manager/operator of the Enterprise lounge

    I'm not sure that's right. Was there ever an introductory
    episode for her character where they said she just came aboard
    that day? Or was she just tending bar the first time we saw her.
    After she was an established character we still saw the bar
    running without her probably more often than not. So she
    could've easily been there from day one.

    If memory serves, Guinan's always been there and had a

    Less mysterious, perhaps, than you realize.

    She and 10 forward both appear for the first time in the same episode which
    is suspicious.

    Ever see the Comedy Central roast of Shatner? Takei was . . .
    eloquent about his feelings towards Shatner.

    <Shatner enters the stage riding one of his prize winning show
    horses, of which he is justifably proud>

    "Bill, I've been waiting to say this for years. Fuck you and the
    horse you rode in on!"

    (I have zero doubt that Shatner was well aware of what was being
    set up. But that man would eat babies on live telesion if you paid
    him enough.)

    Sadly, the rest of the show was the usual Comedy Central trash,
    made by people who can't *spell* "funny," much less *be* it.

    Voyager didn't ignore it. There was a blink and you miss

    Voyager was too stupid to watch, much like Enterprise and
    pretty much everything after DS9 (which wasn't too stupid
    to watch, it was just so disconnected from Star Trek is
    wasn't worth the bother).

    Fanwank to cover up the utterly incompetence of the script
    writers and producers at continuity. Which is a day that
    ends in "y."

    Wank wank wank. At some point, the wankage is all there is.

    At some point you go blind.

    I'll take you word for it. I stopped watching anything other
    than TOS reruns years ago.

    I *WHOOSH*'d Terry! :D

    I got the masturbation reference. I just don't consider ST to
    be wanking material, unlike so many. (Though Marina Sirtis does
    know how to keep the fans' attention at convention
    appearances.)


    By telling half of them that they’re racists that aren’t
    allowed to be Star Trek fans?

    The audience at ComicCon was, by and large, unaware that words were
    coming out of her mouth, much less what they were. And that was an
    unplanned appearance, so she didn't have the normal convention
    wardrobe. What little of it there was.

    The psychotic bitche is only now
    becoming as ugly on the outside is she apparently always has
    been on the inside.

    When you talk like that, you make her point more compellingly than
    she ever could.

    I could defend this, but the hacks behind this don't
    understand Star Trek history either.

    Not that they're paying attention, but Star Trek
    history is quite different from ours. For instance, we
    didn't have World War III -- at least, not yet. Of
    course, Voyager completely ignored WW3 when the ship
    went back in time to meet Sarah Silverman.


    Voyager didn't ignore it. There was a blink and you
    miss it reference.

    Voyager was too stupid to watch, much like Enterprise and
    pretty much everything after DS9 (which wasn't too stupid
    to watch, it was just so disconnected from Star Trek is
    wasn't worth the bother).


    I know people have already commented on the Guinan
    weirdness, where she doesn't remember Picard even
    though she'd already met him in the 1800s with Mark
    Twain, but if they're going to retcon her into not
    knowing Picard in 2024, why would she be operating a
    bar at 10 Forward Street?


    I complained bitterly about Guinan not remembering
    Picard from the 1880s. But someone else pointed out
    that in the new timeline there wouldn't have been an
    Enterprise D captained by Picard to go back in time and
    meet her.

    Fanwank to cover up the utterly incompetence of the
    script writers and producers at continuity. Which is a
    day that ends in "y."


    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s, she
    still wouldn't know about the Enterprise-D and its
    10-Forward lounge until the 23rd Century, so we're just
    supposed to think her Los Angeles dive bar was a
    tremendous coincidence or something?



    I rolled my eyes at that too. But it's easy enough to
    fanwank. She named the bar on the Enterprise after her
    bar on Earth. It might very well be coincidentally on
    the 10th deck, but if her bar wasn't there no one would
    call it 10 forward.

    Wank wank wank. At some point, the wankage is all there
    is.

    At some point you go blind.

    I'll take you word for it. I stopped watching anything
    other than TOS reruns years ago.

    I *WHOOSH*'d Terry! :D

    I got the masturbation reference. I just don't consider ST to
    be wanking material, unlike so many. (Though Marina Sirtis
    does know how to keep the fans' attention at convention
    appearances.)


    By telling half of them that they’re racists that aren’t
    allowed to be Star Trek fans?

    The audience at ComicCon was, by and large, unaware that words
    were coming out of her mouth, much less what they were. And
    that was an unplanned appearance, so she didn't have the normal
    convention wardrobe. What little of it there was.

    The psychotic bitche is only now
    becoming as ugly on the outside is she apparently always has
    been on the inside.

    When you talk like that, you make her point more compellingly
    than she ever could.


    Only two idiots.

    You shouldn't talk about yourself that way.

    She and 10 forward both appear for the first time in the same episode which is suspicious.


    It'd be hilarious if 10 Forward was never supposed to be on the ship. That it was just an unused storage space or something and Guinan just set herself up
    on the ship and used some strange alien ability to make everyone think it had always been there and was perfectly normal.

    The audience at ComicCon was, by and large, unaware that words were
    coming out of her mouth, much less what they were. And that was an
    unplanned appearance, so she didn't have the normal convention
    wardrobe. What little of it there was.

    The psychotic bitche is only now
    becoming as ugly on the outside is she apparently always has
    been on the inside.

    When you talk like that, you make her point more compellingly than
    she ever could.

    Exactly how does calling someone either psychotic or a bitch-- whether they >> deserve it or not-- make someone a racist?

    That question identifies you as racist.

    Ah, it's one of those idiocies. Got it.

    But she wasn't the manager/operator of the Enterprise
    lounge from the beginning. She only showed up later, after
    it was already named and established-- and then only
    because of its literal deckspace on the ship.

    I'm not sure that's right. Was there ever an introductory
    episode for her character where they said she just came
    aboard that day? Or was she just tending bar the first time
    we saw her. After she was an established character we still
    saw the bar running without her probably more often than
    not. So she could've easily been there from day one.

    If memory serves, Guinan's always been there and had a
    mysterious past with Picard.

    She and 10 forward both appear for the first time in the same
    episode which is suspicious.


    It'd be hilarious if 10 Forward was never supposed to be on the
    ship. That it was just an unused storage space or something and
    Guinan just set herself up on the ship and used some strange
    alien ability to make everyone think it had always been there
    and was perfectly normal.

    And Guinan has a little sister nobody doesn't remember wasn't there
    before?

    Bunnies introduced her to the Enterprise.

    Voyager was too stupid to watch, much like Enterprise

    In a rare case (the only one I can think of) of real Trek retconing crap Trek, the Enterprise A had its own 10 forward lounge (Taking up decks five and six forward) and we finally found out what those three big round
    windows right in the front of the saucer were, of course this was a couple years after 10 forward premiered in TNG.

    The new trailer for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" appears to show a
    lounge in Captain Pike's Enterprise (about the 28sec mark).

    It's set in an alternate Star Trek timeline.

    In an alternate universe, with alternate physical
    laws governing it.


    I could defend this, but the hacks behind this
    don't understand Star Trek history either.

    Not that they're paying attention, but Star Trek
    history is quite different from ours. For
    instance, we didn't have World War III -- at
    least, not yet. Of course, Voyager completely
    ignored WW3 when the ship went back in time to
    meet Sarah Silverman.


    Voyager didn't ignore it. There was a blink and you
    miss it reference.

    Voyager was too stupid to watch, much like Enterprise
    and pretty much everything after DS9 (which wasn't
    too stupid to watch, it was just so disconnected from
    Star Trek is wasn't worth the bother).


    I know people have already commented on the Guinan
    weirdness, where she doesn't remember Picard even
    though she'd already met him in the 1800s with Mark
    Twain, but if they're going to retcon her into not
    knowing Picard in 2024, why would she be operating
    a bar at 10 Forward Street?


    I complained bitterly about Guinan not remembering
    Picard from the 1880s. But someone else pointed out
    that in the new timeline there wouldn't have been an
    Enterprise D captained by Picard to go back in time
    and meet her.

    Fanwank to cover up the utterly incompetence of the
    script writers and producers at continuity. Which is
    a day that ends in "y."


    Even if she *did* remember Picard from the 1800s,
    she still wouldn't know about the Enterprise-D and
    its 10-Forward lounge until the 23rd Century, so
    we're just supposed to think her Los Angeles dive
    bar was a tremendous coincidence or something?



    I rolled my eyes at that too. But it's easy enough
    to fanwank. She named the bar on the Enterprise
    after her bar on Earth. It might very well be
    coincidentally on the 10th deck, but if her bar
    wasn't there no one would call it 10 forward.

    Wank wank wank. At some point, the wankage is all
    there is.

    At some point you go blind.

    I'll take you word for it. I stopped watching anything
    other than TOS reruns years ago.

    I *WHOOSH*'d Terry! :D

    I got the masturbation reference. I just don't consider
    ST to be wanking material, unlike so many. (Though Marina
    Sirtis does know how to keep the fans' attention at
    convention appearances.)


    By telling half of them that they’re racists that
    aren’t allowed to be Star Trek fans?

    The audience at ComicCon was, by and large, unaware that
    words were coming out of her mouth, much less what they
    were. And that was an unplanned appearance, so she didn't
    have the normal convention wardrobe. What little of it there
    was.

    The psychotic bitche is only now
    becoming as ugly on the outside is she apparently always
    has been on the inside.

    When you talk like that, you make her point more
    compellingly than she ever could.

    Exactly how does calling someone either psychotic or a
    bitch-- whether they deserve it or not-- make someone a
    racist?

    I rest my case. No, you don't get it, and never will. And
    that's part of the point.

    Oh, I get it. I just like making guys like you put it on display
    like this.

    QED. Loser.

    That is because it's not about race, or gender, or any of the things
    they pretend it's about (often, even to themselves). It's about
    having a socially acceptable reason to be an asshole, preferably in a
    violent way. It's about being the sort of damaged person who can only
    feel important if they can *hurt* people and get away with it.

    If you look into the history of the fascist left actually gaining
    power (see every communist regime, ever, for instance), you'll find a
    very consistent patter of them turning on their own as soon as
    they're on top. When they run out of enemies to attack, they create
    more from whoever is handy, and nobody is more handy than their own
    sheep, who *never* see it coming.

    It depends on who you are, who you're saying it to (and your ability to
    read their mind), and numerous other double-standard stupidities.

    The term "wog" is considered derogatroy, offensive, and racist against Mediterranean / Middle East people, yet there's a recent Australian
    (supposed) comedy TV show called "Superwog" ... the reason that they're
    allowed to do that is because the people making and in the show are
    that particular race. If anyone else had made it, there would have been
    an uproar by all the 'Politically Correct' nutters, no doubt including
    many of the people involved in the existing show. :-\

    Actually all the radiation would be why they would want to do

    Galileo orbited Jupiter for seven years. It was still functional
    enough at the end of that time to deliberately de-orbit into

    Wasn't the Galileo orbitting far enough from Jupiter to make radiation

    NASA is launching a "Europa Clipper" spacecraft to go to Europa
    in October 2024, but it of course won't be a manned mission. I
    haven't seen this Picard episode, but perhaps you were getting
    confused about her actually physically going there.

    I'm not confused, it's definitely a manned mission, the
    astronaut Picard's great-niece, is being put into quarantine to
    be launched the next day, in 2024. And as to visiting IO is
    NASA really going to plan 2 landings? And what about all the
    radiation?

    Actually all the radiation would be why they would want to do
    two landings. Get the most out of the ship before its
    electronics become fried beyond operability.

    Galileo orbited Jupiter for seven years. It was still functional
    enough at the end of that time to deliberately de-orbit into
    Jupiter. And that was nearly 30 years ago.

    Wasn't the Galileo orbitting far enough from Jupiter to make radiation
    not a problem? I remember it was an issue for Casini, but it was making
    close orbits to Jupiter.

    So Jupiter is radioactive?

    I always thought whatever radiation issues spacecraft might have would
    come from the sun. I didn't think any of the planets were emitting
    massive amounts of radiation, too.


    Jupiter space is nasty, but space itself is nasty.

    She and 10 forward both appear for the first time in the same episode
    which is suspicious.

    It'd be hilarious if 10 Forward was never supposed to be on the ship.
    That it was just an unused storage space or something and Guinan just
    set herself up on the ship and used some strange alien ability to make
    everyone think it had always been there and was perfectly normal.

    In a rare case (the only one I can think of) of real Trek retconing crap Trek, the Enterprise A had its own 10 forward lounge (Taking up decks five and six forward) and we finally found out what those three big round
    windows right in the front of the saucer were, of course this was a couple years after 10 forward premiered in TNG.

    There are hundreds of locations and minor characters on the ship we
    never know about, until the writers invent them for the story. Same
    with locations and minor characters in every other TV show.
