    You can tell the order at which I made these picks because i increasingly threw my hands up in the air about the decision-making

    I'm disappointed that "Tom Paris as a Salamander" ddn't make your crew.

    You wouldn't need anyone else, Tom Paris can do just about everything anyway, and Hyper-Tom-Paris can also reproduce at an astonishing rate

    Shit! Back to the drawing board. Actually, "Barclay plugged into the holodeck" would probably make a better Ops officer than the giraffe skull, as well. I thought about "Kirk that time he thought he was a medicine man" as doctor, but the episode made me feel too uncomfortable so I dropped him. Maybe an actual eugenicist is an even worse pick, in retrospect.

    Edit: Although if I drop the giraffe skull, I won't have any picks from Enterprise. This is a tricky one.

    Mirror Universe Kira for Captain makes me wonder what the horniest crew would look like.

    Kirk, Mirror Kira, Riker, season to taste, honestly.

    You could actually get 2 bonus Rikers if you include Thomas.

    One more from Hobo Beard Riker in Parallels, who may have been crazy but he did keep the ship going for, what, three years at that point after the Federation fell.

    An argument could be made that Admiral Riker from All Good Things counts as an available bonus.

    Through the power of Time Travel I'm just going to claim a few copies of TNG riker to fill out my roster
    Captain • Old Riker (All Good Things/TNG)
    First Officer • Bearded Riker (Season 3/TNG)
    Science • Jonathan Frakes (Host, Beyond Belief)
    Engineer • Lt Thomas Riker (Second Chances/TNG)
    Doctor • Grizzled Riker (Parallels/TNG)
    Security • Swashbuckler Riker (Hollow Pursuits/TNG)
    Helm • Beardless Riker (Encounter at Farpoint/TNG)
    Communications • Odan Possessed Riker (The Host/TNG)
    Operations • Maquis Thomas Riker (Defiant/DS9)
    Counselor • Sexy Nipple RIker (Angel One/TNG)
    Civilian • Chef Riker (These Are The Voyagers/ENT)

    Xanatos needs a spot in there.

    Xanatos is the antagonist. Just make the whole thing a one-man show.

    I mean if we're doing villain ships:
    Captain: Shran
    First Officer: Weyoun
    Security: Brunt
    Helm : Krem
    Ops : Tiron
    with the rest filled out by the various Weyouns
    Science officer: The Question

    I would legitimately pay money to watch this

    I'd feel really sorry for your Counselor, having to deal with all of his old neurosis again... Ugh.
    Even with the benefit of hindsight, somehow I doubt saying "Here's what worked for me when I was you..." would be all that helpful.

    Counselor Barclay is also the ambassador because he gets to introduce new races to all of himself and say "I used to be all of these guys and look how great I'm doing now thanks to the Federation and you can join too!"

    In accordance with Federation law, hairpiece officers are interchangeable with captains.

    Yeah, I hate the visual style of so many modern cartoons. I think Family Guy poisoned the well if I'm honest.

    That's not even the "CalArts style", the meme is for shows that look like Gravity Falls and Stephen Universe. And yes I don't like how those shows look but it's a disingenuous criticism. Wow animation searching for broad commercial appeal, with a tight budget, made in Flash, and starring humans looks similar, it must be because they were indoctrinated by the school they went to. They should all have been self-taught renegade geniuses like you, noted rapist John K.

    The problem for me is that it's clearly the identical style to Rick and Morty. The style itself is fine, it's just that it's a very specific, distinctive style attached to a very specific, distinctive show. I'm not at all interested in something animated like Rick and Morty but sanitized to the point of being a Trek show, particularly since Trek tropes are the sort of thing Rick and Morty would go after. Neither am I interested in something Trek trying to ape Rick and Morty.

  • Commander ZoomCommander Zoom Registered User regular
    Isn't this, in fact, explicitly by (some of) the Rick and Morty people?
    So if I recall correctly: to the people making and/or approving this, that is not a coincidence or a bug, but a feature. Working as intended.

  • The WolfmanThe Wolfman Registered User regular
    Yeah, finding out the creator also worked on both Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites explains a lot. Though it also looks and feels like maybe it's also trying to crib off the trend that Teen Titans Go started. A trend since picked up by Thundercats, and even My Little Pony of all things. I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm worried it'll try to be much too zany and wacky for its own good. Who knows though, it might actually work. I'll be damned if I can explain how or why Teen Titans Go works, but it does.

    This is a great, heartening read, and also reflects a lot of my experience watching Star Trek and interfacing with its fans that way for the first time as an adult. I wasn't 30, and it wasn't during such a difficult time as this, but still.

    The one part of last night's dreams that hasn't slipped my memory is that I was watching an episode of TNG where the A plot was that objects kept unaccountably swapping positions on the Enterprise, but only those of similar shapes and never while being directly observed. Ultimately it turned out that the transporter was just glitchy and they fixed it. :shrug:

    That sounds better than most of the episodes from seasons 1 or 2.

    Dreams are akin to shows that end season 1 on a ridiculous cliffhanger only to get canceled during the break.

    This reminded me of a dream I had the other night. I was in LA at that rock quarry where they filmed a bunch of Trek episodes (Bronson Canyon I think) and need to urgently leave for some reason. Being in LA I had no idea where I was going but didn't have enough time to pull up my hotel on my phone. I ran a red light in front of a cop and pulled into a church that ended up being a cult to tried to trap/kidnap me.
