I remember seeing that air. What a opening. Seeing how bad Wolf 359 really was from the inside. Also, I think first time we see starships turn on a dime.
There’s nothing brutalist about this. Brutalist architecture is about the structure of the building being bare and exposed (from the French “brut,” meaning raw). While I don’t like most brutalism, some of it is beautiful.
Japan and Korea have some and it’s such a godsend if you have a layover flight. I’d much rather hear kids laughter than 4 hours of “where’s the plane??”
Or they designed it for a child? Why not let a child pretend they are the captain of a Galaxy-class starship while they wait for the plane to board. Just tell them they aren’t allowed to self-destruct and they need to share when another captain request and requires them to relinquish command of the vessel.
Oh they’ve watched DS9, it’s just that in that time since they’ve been brainwashed by some YouTuber selling anger about a perceived past that never existed to make a profit.
That, and they’ve clearly never watched DS9. I think the (mostly) dark and seriousness of it is why I like it so much.
I was initially hesitant about DS9 because I was like “how are they, on a stationary space station, going to compete with the Federation flagship?” Was never so glad to be proven wrong.
I remember watching this episode after school and being utterly shocked (and pleased, of course). This was my clearest “can they show that on TV??” moment.
99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons
Captain Kirk is mentioned in both the original German and the English version. The reference is actually moved to a different verse in the English version so that it still works.

This one might could also be a reference to any one of the many Navy ships with the name, but I choose to believe someone in the band is one of us.
Joe Satriani’s Crowd Chant was originally going to be called Party on the Enterprise and would have included Trek sound effect samples, but he couldn’t get the licensing to work.
I caught this video in the middle of the night on MTV and was sad because I could not remeber who sang it. I tried repeatedly and finally caught it again and bought the CD.
How no one mentioned the Information Society song “What’s On Your Mind” (Pure Energy) yet is beyond me. A song with multiple clips from Star Trek along with Spock saying “Pure Energy” over and over.
The urgency in The Measure of a Man makes no sense. The judge should simply pause the transfer order while the question of Data’s personhood is resolved, if necessary by a higher court months or years later.
Harbinger is the worst episode of ENT. The captain and the alien of the week are maybe 6 minutes of the episode. The rest is a bunch of bullshit with resolving the conflicts in the crew that had been brewing all season.
Only saving grace is the fight scene, but then the macho American space marine gets schooled by lieutenant mister bean? Lolwut
What the hell do they think this is, Hamlet, Gone With the Wind, Ruggles of Red Gap?
It’s a goddamned space western, aliens in rubber masks, you know the drill!
TBF, my dumb take on “Year of hell” could’ve probably easily have been a talking point on some neckbeard’s YT channel. The difference is, I realised it was stupid and offered it for a laugh instead of leveraging it toward the cancellation of Star Trek…
“Even with the break between seasons, it was only well into part two of The best of both worlds that I realised they had cast the same actor as Capt. Picard and Locutus. Terrible artistic choice, very confusing”
When SNW started, I already knew Melanie Scrofano as Mrs. McMurray from Letterkenny. THAT took some time to work through, but kudos to her for making the character work.
RetroFed
Insidious…
Yeah that was neat, the Miranda definitely got some upgrades in the 24th century over the maneuvers they it pulled in WoK.
It’s not bad actually. Puts some of the fear back into the Borg as boogeymen.
Wait… really? How have I totally forgotten about this???
One of these things is not like the others.
“Let’s assimilate some Ferengi ourselves instead”
They were also a little busy dealing with a time-traveling, genocidal coffee addict.
I would argue that no meme counts. That’s what makes them memes.
It’s okay, you’ll get it next time champ!
gosh ok i guess the meme doesnt count then

s2e23 “Regeneration”
They encounter a few drones left in a crash site from First Contact.
S2 E23
Which episode did Archer and crew encounter the Borg?
I mean, the borg kind of started the whole series when they killed Sisko’s wife.
DS9 was amazing. Certainly better than Enterprise (which is disappointing because the latter had such a good premise)
I’ve wondered the same thing many many times, but y’know what turns out he wasn’t
It’s pretty brutal if you are a child. This is the corporate equivalent.
There’s nothing brutalist about this. Brutalist architecture is about the structure of the building being bare and exposed (from the French “brut,” meaning raw). While I don’t like most brutalism, some of it is beautiful.
This is just soulless.
Let’s make Stamos a captain, while we’re at it.
With Bob Saget as cleanliness-obsessed Cardassian Gul Pinesol.

Is the station made out of… wood?
Would that mean Keiko wrote “You Oughtta Know”
Wait, no, Bashir is the other woman!
number one, lets play
Not fully operational without the red carpet.
Corporate playgrounds are peak brutalism.
Oh, it’s an airport? I thought-
Japan and Korea have some and it’s such a godsend if you have a layover flight. I’d much rather hear kids laughter than 4 hours of “where’s the plane??”
Usually it’s just extra space they don’t know what else to do with
The children spontaneously shake in one direction when the action sound queue tells them the playground in under attack.
It sucks that you can’t just go and hang out at an airport any more.
It’s disappointing there are no resident cosplayers in that lounge area. Would be amazing for recording some low-budget fan works.
Or they designed it for a child? Why not let a child pretend they are the captain of a Galaxy-class starship while they wait for the plane to board. Just tell them they aren’t allowed to self-destruct and they need to share when another captain request and requires them to relinquish command of the vessel.
Y’all have children’s play areas in your airports?
Yeah …looks very familiar!
In a world where any doctor can make the whole bridge crew into Klingons in an afternoon, outpatient, there’s no reason I can’t become my fursona.
um literally
Why would anyone not take a ship with an all-Caitian crew seriously? That’s speciesist.
Honestly this one is much better
Oh they’ve watched DS9, it’s just that in that time since they’ve been brainwashed by some YouTuber selling anger about a perceived past that never existed to make a profit.
That, and they’ve clearly never watched DS9. I think the (mostly) dark and seriousness of it is why I like it so much.
I was initially hesitant about DS9 because I was like “how are they, on a stationary space station, going to compete with the Federation flagship?” Was never so glad to be proven wrong.
MRW I hear someone claim Star Trek was never dark and serious:
I remember watching this episode after school and being utterly shocked (and pleased, of course). This was my clearest “can they show that on TV??” moment.
Heck yeah brother🤘🖖
Yeah, I had a lot of free time a while back and I made a ska punk album in my living room!

Mentioned elsewhere, but it looks like OP did make a list and it got lost in some federation weirdness.
I thought it was a weird subject line but I love that everyone ran with it anyway
This slaps, I’m getting Hasil Adkins vibes. This is you?
I made one!
Something may have failed to federate properly, but OP did make a list.
Yes.
The Mighty Underdogs - Science Fiction
Has almost an entire paragraph about Star Trek.
We are not qualified to be your judges. We have no law to fit your crime.
At what timestamp does the reference show up?
I love that B52s song! Love that you mentioned it.
I love that the Beastie Boys are canon because of “Sabotage” in Beyond and that the line you mentioned exists.

You had to mention that song didn’t you?

We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.

I was going to say this one.

Nerf Herder - "Mr. Spock"
Will always upvote a Voltaire ref. Love this song.
Great song (Banditos) by a great band (The Refreshments).
Not as old as Star Trekkin’.
How no one mentioned the Information Society song “What’s On Your Mind” (Pure Energy) yet is beyond me. A song with multiple clips from Star Trek along with Spock saying “Pure Energy” over and over.
In 1998, Rod Stewart recorded a cover of the Star Trek: Enterprise theme three years before the series premiere.
It had to be done. I apologize for nothing.
T’Pau is literally named after the trek character.

Gonna show my age here but Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys ends talking about the Vulcan nerve pinch.
Low hanging fruit, but White and Nerdy by the great one.

The obvious winner must be Benjamin Sisqó and “Thong Song”.
Admittedly a little out of character and morally dubious, but a certified banger all the same.
My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I’m firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌
I think we’re supposed to come up with the songs. I’ll start.

Sorry, duplicate post.
The urgency in The Measure of a Man makes no sense. The judge should simply pause the transfer order while the question of Data’s personhood is resolved, if necessary by a higher court months or years later.
Or worser still, making more of it, using AI rather than “plot” or “characters”.
“Resolving conflicts that have been brewing all season”? Serialisation is against Roddenberry’s intentions!
Harbinger is the worst episode of ENT. The captain and the alien of the week are maybe 6 minutes of the episode. The rest is a bunch of bullshit with resolving the conflicts in the crew that had been brewing all season.
Only saving grace is the fight scene, but then the macho American space marine gets schooled by lieutenant mister bean? Lolwut

I’m old, I didn’t even consider TikTok.
TBF, my dumb take on “Year of hell” could’ve probably easily have been a talking point on some neckbeard’s YT channel. The difference is, I realised it was stupid and offered it for a laugh instead of leveraging it toward the cancellation of Star Trek…
Is this even possible?
<watches Tiktok for 5 seconds>
Oh my, I stand corrected.
“Even with the break between seasons, it was only well into part two of The best of both worlds that I realised they had cast the same actor as Capt. Picard and Locutus. Terrible artistic choice, very confusing”
— no one, ever.
Ooh, tell me more! 🤣
😂 I wish we all could have your restraint.
…Now, thank you for starting chapter one of my introduction to the Star Trek Enterprise episode "Dear Doctor"…
I never watched Wynonna Earp either, but maybe that’s worth picking up just for her.
When SNW started, I already knew Melanie Scrofano as Mrs. McMurray from Letterkenny. THAT took some time to work through, but kudos to her for making the character work.
