How dare he! Many Bothans died to steal those plans from the Empire! Think of the poor Bothans. Think of them!

He doesn’t have scales: his body is covered in an endless array of combovers. His head is shaped like Trump Tower, and he has tiny hands. Very, very tiny hands.
Pah! How could you possibly criticize Federation design sensibilities when you don’t even have access to basic food replicators? Backwards philistines!
(I kid, of course.)
I don’t see why. These things rely on shields and advanced construction materials... though primarily shields. When your best defense is a force field, it opens up the possibilities in terms of design.
I was thinking “The Off-Kilter Celt.”
Methinks you just invented a new superhero.
So, if the TNG-lite track was Braga’s doing, I suppose that explains Enterprise being TNG-lite with TOS highlights from the start?

Can’t you just attach a removable footrest to the bottom of the toilet? That way you can squat if you need to, sit if you can’t?
Same here. The payoff isn’t as fun as the buildup, most of the time—and the payoff is only ever fun because of the buildup.
Objectivity in filmmaking is very real. Unfortunately, what amounts to objectivity in filmmaking is also highly subjective. It’s not arbitrary, but it is pretty damn complicated and rarely cut-and-dry.
Exactly. Big studios need portfolios in order to survive, besides. The safer investments keep you steady, while the risky investments should average themselves out. All of these benefit from having a better-told story. Taking a little extra time on the script to ensure a substantial increase in potential earnings (at…
Given that screenwriters are lucky to be given even one rewrite in today’s filmmaking environment, I believe we have a long ways to go before that becomes a problem again.
