Captain Sisko's mother-effin' pimp hand

Close-ups of Picard's chair controls, from the Star Trek: Picard recreation of Next Gen's Enterprise-D. Looks like he could have done all the stuff he spent all day ordering others to do himself without even getting up, if he wanted to😂

Absolutely love Admiral Nechayev because she's a -3 in physical stature but a +76 in intimidation stature and every time she shows up you know someone's gonna get metaphorically bitch slapped.

(Look at her chopping Riker's head out of frame with her powerful tininess)

But in all seriousness I appreciate that she's a strict, hard-line admiral who is actually a good person and takes her position of power seriously. She's a memorable "letter of Starfleet law" narrative device and is utilized well considering her limited appearances.

It's so easy to fall into the narrative trap of having all upper ranks be untrustworthy, drunk with power, or evil (thus making the main characters shine with unabashed heroism). But letting these characters be genuinely good while still creating problems and butting heads with the main characters? That's storytelling umami right there.

Picard: "I am not scared of you at all but I did track down your assistant and ask him what your favorite food was and had it prepared for you in advanced so please be nice to me."

Roommate brought this home and unfortunately my brain could only think of this:

That one shot in ENT where Archer is facing the screen and then Shran’s antennae unfurl above his head? Yeah, that’s the best shot in Star Trek.

holy shit

this was so huge. the alien he’s arguing with uses standard pro-life arguments that you still hear today. he literally talks about all life being sacred (even though his plan to deal with overpopulation is to kill people with meningitis). and this aired only 4 years after contraception was legalized in the united states. in context this is actually even more pro-contraception than it appears in these caps.

Dukats slightly weird hair in this scene lives in my head rent free did he get mad and execute his barber or something

[lickingscales]

In the same episode his hair is long and puffy and then shorter and contained. What happened?! Did he think Kira would like it better loose?

So I picked up something cool on eBay recently. This original 1979 vinyl soundtrack for TMP.

Say what you will about the movie, but there is nothing quite like hearing Ilea’s Theme on full blast.
