Star Trek TV Show • Page 39

I don’t like them as much as something like Strange New Worlds, but I think they were a very accessible entry point to a franchise that can seem impossibly large and background-heavy for newcomers at this point. It’s a loss in my eyes even if they’re not the best of Trek

 

I enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed TNG and DS9, and while I can't say I don't understand the criticism, I think there was certainly room for both takes on Trek to thrive.

 

edit:

the tawny newsome Risa show sounds the best out of all of those to me

 

At first I thought you were responding to someone I had blocked, but after checking in Secret Mode and finding nothing, are you actually replying to the post Hal made back in August? Sorry, just hard to parse without a quote.

 

yeah lol. sorry. was just catching up in the thread

 

This is what I assumed

 

oh this is the honor among thieves guys? exciting

 

game night too

 

that film was unexpectingly fun as fuck!

 

It's Sam Weir from Freaks & Geeks!

 

My zoomer coworker asking me the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars

Me: *explaining the entire plot of The Measure Of A Man and Darmok*

 

Not a big thing for most of us, but all the classic Star Trek series are getting pulled from Netflix internationally next month.

 

I guess that makes sense given that Paramount and Netflix are competing over Warner right now

 

I think it's bold of them to have the series premiere 10 years in the past

 

Giving Starfleet Academy a try. Hopefully I don't actually need to have seen all of discovery to follow this cause I'm definitely confused by the whole first class in 120 years thing...

The EMH aging is incredibly funny. What a weird casting choice would rather the show just be able to be it's own things without a stunt casting

The ship design is cool but also seems super impractical

 

All the promo material for Starfleet Academy totally put me off watching this show.

 

I also don’t have any great desire to see it but I’m sure I’ll watch anyway at some point

 

Chris Pine Tells New Paramount Bosses 'Good Luck' With 'Star Trek'

 

Been watching a lot of TNG lately, such an amazing show

 

Apparently it's pretty good but it just looks so cringe

 

I’ve watched the first few episodes, and honestly I really am not enjoying it. It plays like it was written by people who like sci-fi generally but have never watched Star Trek before.

It’s the first time I’ve ever had this reaction but it feels way more like Star Wars to me. It’s missing the whole utopian future thing in favor of a faux-gritty space pirate universe. I think lot of the Star Wars vibe is also coming from the cinematography and sort of weird random-blips style audio design. They literally have little droids flying around making droid noises.

Add to that the fact that it really doesn’t seem to care too much about continuity (for example it has retconned the Betazoids as all being strictly empaths like Troi) and it really just feels like a generic high school drama with occasional space pirates and a few Star Trek aliens
