/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I absolutely love clips episodes. When watching through old sci fi series that got syndicated, you're guaranteed to get at least one or two. I'm always psyched up when they come up in a rewatch, it's one of my favorite meta tropes.

Community did the best one when it was actually stuff that you never saw.

HARRISON FORD IS A RADIATING OUR TESTICLES WITH MICROWAVE SATELLITE TRANSMISSIONS

The Community clip episode is great, but I think the best one has to be Avatar. The original one, Ember Island Players, not the lame-ass actual clip episode in Korra. An in-world summary of the events thus far as portrayed by actors who don't have complete knowledge. With in-jokes referencing various aspects of the show's production, like how Toph was originally meant to be a burly man, and how Aang, as a young boy, would have been voiced by a woman in most cartoons.

That was wild. Some of those clips were clearly expensive to make, too. And many of them left me mourning that we would probably never get the episode hinted at.

The thing is this clip show was because of budget shortages and it came too early in the shows production. So to get enough material for different emotions they had to use some very weird and non-emotional clips imo.

Super early clip shows are some of my favorites, it really hits home how awesomely campy they are. Did you ever see Clerks: The Animated Series? They did a clip show for the second episode ever, it was genius.

...how? Did they use clips from episodes that hadn't aired yet, or did they just chop up the first episode and show it again out of order?

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Nope all the clips were from episode 1 mostly the same clips too. The 1st time I watched I was in histerics.
