Go full clockwork orange and force him to watch while giving him huge doses of apomorphine.

we have never killed a species they live on in our collective. you will also live on. resistance is futile.

>>281 Throw some of Wesley's nanomachines at the Borg then get them to join the Federation.

>>281 This is literally Icheb's origin story

>>281 Carl Jung, hell all the way back to Jesus and the Buddha, will tell you that sparing evil or worse being "good" to evil (ie, enabling them to commit more wickedness by your resources and tolerance), is just as evil as if you were committing those acts yourself. Because their continued evil would not have happened had you put your foot down and nipped it in the bud. It's why you don't "help" chronically bad people, they see your kindness and generosity as tools to exploit for their fun and profit. "Right to live"? There are no rights other than what you can protect or more powerful organizations can protect for you (usually they don't, and always they eventually don't once they grow tough enough to force you on your knees to lick their boot) and even if there were, what "right" does a galaxy-spanning cybernetic infection, hive-minded, zombie apocalypse to exist? Can the Borg even be called a race, culture, society, or civilization at all? This is also why the so-called moral conundrum in fantasy gaming communities, that is "Should I kill the baby orc, even though it can't even do anything evil yet?" The answer is yes. Always. Inherently evil races should always be destroyed, especially before they have a chance to act. Or the innocent blood they shed will be on your hands. Bleeding hearts result in real-life bleeding wounds, always. It's akin to asking "well those lung nodules haven't and probably won't grow to cancerous lung masses, it'd be the moral thing to do to let them be unless they become malignant without warning". No, no, no. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. For a bunch of so-called intellectual geeknerds not a whole lot of them have a single clue on morality and ethics. Maybe if their parents parented them, and their teachers taught them anything useful outside of acquiring that useless high school or univerity diploma, they'd understand such not-that-fucking-hard topics instead of being bumblefucking ignorant twats writing 2000 word phpbb forum posts about why akshually the orc is a misunderstood emo arthoe and such trooniggerfaggotry.

>>911 That Ziyal? Not the other one?

>>912 I dunno man, there's just something about this one. I like cheerful ones though, even in real life. And an arty chick that isn't some mopey slob? *chef's kiss*

>>911 good taste

>>296 This is now my whole chest.

>>913 Fan of mein kraft, per chance? Maybe you like certain channels, run by certain block-building gals?

>>892 Reasonably good analysis IMO. You might even be correct in general about it. But >"We're a whore that is meant to be used once and then left behind." most definitely has the shoe on the wrong foot. It's not the prostitutes that pay out the cash friend. :^)

>Michael becoming a captain, with the scene being a ripoff of the fucking STO tutorial >tilly still 2x fatter than Ensign Wildman >the Trill troon that scolds the white homosexual male for using the wrong pronouns At least this season boldly went down the shitter (unlike the other seasons and Picard)

>>915 People keep telling me Nutrek is good, and I keep refusing to watch it.

>>891 (((they))) dont have to care about financial loses because we will most likely be forced to bail them out when the time comes. Take a look at SVB Bank for a more recent example. SVB was all about (((woke investments))) and those tactics most likely resulted in SVB not having enough liquidity to cover a large sale of bond holdings, which resulted in them not being able to cover $1.8 billion of the sales. Its the same shit with (((hollywood))). They will continue to create propaganda and at some point, we are going to bail out the studios for this jewish trash... unless we do something about

>>933 >unless we do something about They have names and addresses, moms and daughters.

ENT is underrated and didn't deserve the shitty rushed ending it got

Had shit taste in women, the only thing he did wrong. That and being too merciful.

>>924 I mention it when it's appropriate, but I don't just spam it everywhere. That shit is just obnoxious.

>>297 WAKE UP YOU SPACE RATS S3 IS FINALLY HERE.

>>927 I'm expecting woke garbage.

>>929 I'm actually pleasantly surprised, ep 1 was a little preachy but 2 was great, they actually worked out the original concept of the borg into a thing, which they could'nt for tng due to budget reasons. Have not finished 3 yet but so far it's pretty decent, very farpoint which is also the general theme, rehashing tng stuff, but still infinitely more enjoyable then nu-trek

>>811 But of course, how could it ever not have been about the hot alien babes?

Fuck you, I liked it.

>>805 The problem with this prompt is that it could never be sensible. Even in a pitched battle sequence with the fate of the Galaxy on the line, the non-bridge crew (and I exclude I anyone in charge in Engineering ala Scotty or Geordi, or other "main characters") is going to be doing unimportant things. There's Klingons on the starboard bow, and you want to focus on the dude repairing the broken power conduit in jefferies tube 420, section 69? Okay, sure. And anytime there's not really anything going on, their usual jobs are going to be even more mind-numbing. As it turns out, most people have jobs that are rote and boring and would not make good television content. The only way this can actually function is if you have rare episodes as "filler", focusing on the mundane as a breather in between all the action. But an entire show of "filler" is impossible. Like a novel without a plot. So the only way to solve this dilemma is to add in random wacky shenanigans that pretends to be important, when you already know it CAN'T be important. >>810 What IS the genre? Because I feel the way I view sci-fi is very different from the way a lot of people do. I see it as a method of exploring the human condition using extreme situations that are impossible with our current universe and technology. A bunch of hot-shots blasting around the galaxy having super-amazing space battles is cool, but it doesn't explore anything. It doesn't ask the viewer anything but to sit back, let their eyes glaze over, and shovel popcorn down their throats.

>>895 I'm guessing the conventional plots sf has shifted towards is a reaction to the navel-gazing behemoths of earlier years. Sf is honestly difficult to pull off without becoming a masturbatory exercise for the author. Doesn't really excuse it, but it does seem like a case of trading one set of excesses for the other.

>>899 >Sf is honestly difficult to pull off without becoming a masturbatory exercise for the author. But that's exactly what sci-fi is, almost by definition. The freedom sci-fi gives allows authors to explore things they otherwise aren't able to, or straight up can't, in other genres. It also has hot alien chicks and robots and lasers and stuff.

Awesome! Thanks for reaching out.

It's a fake spam message. Sorry. Make sure to ask the BO before wasting time making a team.

It was a reasonable okay watch, their MC got the crazy's and had to be replaced (and this happens like every year with characters of various importance). Seasons 1-4 are pretty straight forward if a little rushed towards the end. Entirely worth watching for Bester for being such an irredeemable character, strong performances (better then the arks really but the arcs were solid) and an interesting universe that tries to be science fiction instead of science fantasy that you get with some shows.

>>411 Acting jobs dried out of Ed Wasser, so he started construction company. >>716 The series finale was shot during 4th season and season 4 finale was something they came up with minimal budget and time. Content meant to run until half way thru 5th season was squeezed into second half of 4th season, 5th season is pretty much half season stretched to full season.

As usual, Babylon 5 curse has manifested itself. Latest victim being Mira Furlan, who passed away at 65.

I've heard that they have made an HD version of the show for the streaming platforms. The CGI scenes are less blurry than the DVD versions.

>>877 From what I understand is that they basically re-scanned the live action film footage, ran standard definition FX sequences thru AI filter to upscale and clean it up and then edited everything together.
