Hi, I'm John DiMarco, and welcome to our channel! I love Jesus and my family, who you may see occasionally pop in to play some games or just be goofy. I'm a sci-fi nerd, particularly in regards to classic Star Trek and The Orville. I'm also a fan of SeaQuest DSV, from which I learned that Darwin the Dolphin is the best!
Thank you ‘trope meister’. ❤️Voyager apparently had no time for anything. That Crusher clip was just on last night’s repeat ‘Journeys End’ and even MORE creepy here yet again.
I lolled at that episode when the senior staff were turned into children! 3:10. But I was intrigued by the stellar cartography one and the appearance of a very nice though unusual teapot ! 4:!5
What a great wonderful video. Powerful yet not overstated in its own way. And I will always remember the Star Trek: First Contact sequence you had in the middle.
I dont really like the modern star trek warps where it just zips away and disapears with no time to process it. The older trek series' made you know that the ship was warping away by looking like the light was bending just as it would do but with a bit more cinematic flare.
Many would be surprised to know that Surak was actually a computer scientist. His family was wealthy, prosperous, and well known in Shi Kahr. But Surak grew saddened by the everyday reports of horrific violence, nuclear bombardment, and a world out of control and consumer with emotion. He wandered the desert to search for meaning. One item never mentioned, was the "Bloodstone". The Dream Gem of ancient Iconia that Kanda Jiak brought when she accidentally transported to Vulcan, and not Iccobar (An Iconian Colony) and died under its horrible heat and high gravity. Surak found the stone, and realized it had also helped to corrupt any society who possessed it (The T'Kon Empire, Iconian Empire, countless others) and now Vulcan suffers under its presence. The Ko N'Ya is the Vulcan word for the Bloodstone. Sarek held it and it kept him warm in the desert cold of night. An enemy force whose "Swords and armor were as bright as the phasers on their belts" came upon him. Surak lost all his brothers on this awful plain. He was told the Ko N'Ya could revive his brothers. He only said "So they can begin the killing or being killed again"? After he freely released the gem, he knew the only way to save Vulcan and its people were to "End the desire themselves". After the Sundering (When S'task, Surak's most devoted acolyte disagreed and he and others left Vulcan to preserve the old ways). The stone left Vulcan and ended up later on what would be Romulus. For reference, these are excerpts from the book "Vulcan's Forge". So non-canonical.
It is interesting how the Doomsday Machine is implied to be extremely old. Yet TNG's "Evolution" says that Neutronium(which the Planet Killer is composed of) decays, which makes me wonder, is this thing's half-life thousands of years?
One thing DS9 had going for it was some top shelf actors. Andrew Robinson was among the very best, and I believe his performances elevated the acting of the people around him. A great portrayal can inspire others to do their damndest to keep up. Nobody wants to look like a block of wood next to a real actor.
There’s a scene of going to wrap in The Child (TNG S2 E01) where you see it from Ten Forward which would have been worth including. I think you should also have done a but more with The Phoenix.
I like the sound at 5:38 of the warp engines of the enterprise nx-01, they only used it a few times but i like it even more than the one thst they ended up using. I dont know why, i just like it, sounds like cool futuristic tech
