Star Trek Discovery (2017)

“In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we’ll finally return to the true home of all galactic enterprise, the bright center of the universe, Tatooine!”

;-)

Motherfucker THAT ROCK AGAIN? God. Fuck. Can we NOT go to fucking Tatooine AGAIN? Geezus. Fuck.

What’s funny to me is that everything that everyone else complained about TNG (no drama between crew members) ect was what made TNG by far the best, most hopeful vision of human future in modern day sci fi. Everything else was a step backward, and kept stepping backward until Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Stargate were functionally indistinguishable.

IMO, the core of Star Trek is not pewpew in space but that hopeful vision of the future Roddenberry had.

To be clear, I am making that up, but the SW mythos has been weirdly centered on shithole dessert rocks in the Outer Rim for some unfathomable reason. Just pointing out “returning to the well” is a bit of a time honored tradition in beloved scifi superseries!

I know, and I’m totally rolling with it. On The Greatest Generation, they call that planet “Anybody Canyon”.

It just hit me. This is not Star Trek for me. This is Star Trek for millennials. This is Star Trek for children with no attention span. With no depth. :(

What the hell.

There’s a heavy dose of sarcasm here, but TV Sci Fi is just like all other TV Sci Fi without some core guiding principle. Take away the heart of Star Trek and it’s just “yet another bridge drama space opera”. What’s the difference between Firefly and Star Trek Enterprise… the acting? Like comparing different productions of Shakespeare.

The structural integrity of the ship was so high without the ring it was agreed in the Treaty of San Francisco that it provided too great an advantage over the notoriously flimsy Klingon-Romulan warbirds. Rather than redesign a flimsier ship from scratch the brilliant Federation shipwrights just cut out a section to reduce the overall strength of the hull.

It’s like when they showed us the Dreadnought from Into Darkness, we had to wonder why there was a big hole in the middle of the saucer? I think the best answer anyone got was so they could make little Dreadnought bottle openers. So yeah, pizza cutter is probably the best answer this time around.

Well congratulations, I honestly can’t tell whether you’re trolling, or never actually watched an entire episode of either series.

You really should check out the episode of Enterprise where Archer kicks an Andorian into the Bussard collector though.

So this is on Netflix too?

Not where it matters (to me).

Hey guys remember when I said like forever ago that this looked awful and was gonna be bad? YEP. IT STILL LOOKS AWFUL AND IS DEFINITELY GONNA BE BAD. :(

Fuck all of the people responsible for crapping on what was once an awesome IP :(

I think a bunch of you guys need to try and relax a little more. Maybe wait to watch one or two episodes before commencing the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Sure thing. I’ll just fork over additional money to CBS just so I have the privilege… heh, no, no I won’t. I don’t need to go any further than that. They needed to convince me to give them not only a chance but additional money for that chance, not the other way around.

This is the internet, bro. It’s got two settings: wailing and gnashing of teeth and really unsettling pornography. You sure you wanna flip that switch?

I appreciate the warning, but in this case I think I would rather see Neelix getting it on with a hundred Tribbles than nerdrage over trailers that are not more or less half-pie than most other TV.

I believe the first episode will be on free TV. The first hit is free, bro!
