Colm Meaney wanted to play O'Brien as American. “Rick Berman sat me down and said, ‘The whole notion of this show is that it’s multiracial’… I reluctantly started to play him Irish"
  • “The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.

    “How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?... It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”

    Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it! Wink

  • Warp field debris question
  • Because of the extremely common parlance “drop out of warp” I want to say it implies that the ship keeps moving afterward.

    When I run and carry my coffee it is “at warp” but when I stumble and drop it then it is no longer “at warp” but yet it still falls away from the point I dropped it.

    But when you drop an abstract there is no implication of movement; when I drop a bad habit it just ceases to exist.

    But since the ship still exists after dropping from warp, this is unlikely to be the intended meaning.

    Ergo ships drop from warp and that dropping imparts momentum/inertia to ships.

  • The moral fiber of Captain Archer

    I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

    made this for a comment reply but it deserves it's own post
  • Archer did nothing wrong

    As an Archer fan… bwahaha. He knew it was wrong, there’s too much dialog around suspending moral codes and the like.

    Eg one of my fave episodes Harbinger:

    PHLOX: Captain, this man is dying a painful death. To keep him conscious is unethical.

    ARCHER: Until I get the answers I need, we're going to have to bend a few ethics.

    PHLOX: Very well, I'll do what I can.

  • [Discussion] Which Soulslike NPC had the most emotional impact on you, and why?
  • Kale if we can count his cut dialog about the history of the nomadic merchants.

    Otherwise Diallos. He lost his maiden, he joined the wrong gang, he lost his brother (to that same gang!), and finally redeems himself to save Jarburg. One of the few quests with closure. Insert “Fire Spur Me” gesture 💪

  • [ER] Some Skyrim slander for change
  • Ya you’re right that one is much tricker.

    If you take the direct route via Dectus lift you will miss her unless you take that particular route to Volcano Manor.

    If you climb the precipice, she’s in line of sight when you approach the grace… but still easily missable if you’re panic feeing to the grace from the Lansseax ambush.

    Tangentially, I once thought Goldmask’s hat was a pvp reward because I only ever saw invaders wear it. I never saw him the first time I played haha.

  • [ER] Some Skyrim slander for change
  • If you take the warp gate to Caelid, yet are too dumb to realize that Gurranq is INSIDE the building (I didn’t notice the door right behind me) and not the giant Gargoyle out front…

    Well in that case you will walk back to Limgrave and stumble upon Millicent about half way there. Easy peasy lol

  • For Every Klingon, There’s a Pakled – The Star Trek Aliens That Just Don’t Work - Wealth of Geeks
  • Throughout several episodes in the first two seasons of Enterprise, the Suliban draw Captain Archer into the Temporal Cold War. That sounds cool, but the execution of the Suilban falls flat, starting with their design. They look like they’re covered in cheap green foam, giving them an unsettling texture that reads cheaper than even the aliens of the original series.

    Look how they massacred my boy

    At least the Suliban villain, Silik, was pretty cool. Sometimes an enemy, sometimes a friend, always throwing shade 👌

  • What are things that mildly annoy you in SciFi?
  • I am mildly annoyed when an action scene essentially pauses so the heroes can have a small dialog scene.

    I always find myself wondering: isn’t that bad guy, hull breach, detonation timer etc still there?

  • "We love Star Trek because there is no D.E.I."
  • DAX: I hope you're not holding back because I'm a woman. If it makes things any easier, think of me as a man. I've been one several times.

    think of me as a man. I've been one several times.

    We could do this all day, I just reached for this example because of my recent run Gowron of episodes 🖖

    Is this still a thing? I haven't played for a long time

    Also, Engineering: divert all life support to shields and Helm: initiate attack pattern alpha 💪

    Gowron delivers every single time 👌

    House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

    Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

    A history of violence

    Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

    I wasn't ready for a 28 episode sustained descent into darkness

    > I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

    This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

    Watching Enterprise for the very first time

    I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
