Star Trek: Discovery

if not for the few seasons of discovery we would not be gettting strange new world which may bridge the gap with trek purists
 
it trek lore than spock served under pike for ten years or more

and it has a cannon ending where he gets messed up and ends up in the chair


its not enterprise

Not interested. Give us stories about the future (post TNG, DS9, VOY).

Also, write better stories, there hasn't been a single well written piece of Trek this century.
 
but you want stories past the diminion wars :hmm:

and star trek has not always been the best written tv show



if we go back to deep space and the next generation sort of productions i'd want to go to the lead up and aftermath of the romulian supernova

but we already moved past it

with disco and picard
 
Enjoyed episode 6. Seemed more β€˜Trek’ though discovery keeps doing this. You get the odd glimmer of hope and then it does something whack again.

such as where are they going already with this computer having emotions thing. We already know the ship goes into hibernation so are they already planning discovery’s endgame

Also β€˜Enterprise’ and β€˜Voyager’ name checked so the ships exist in the 32nd century. Can already see them looking to cash in with a new enterprise based series in that time at some point.
 
Was watching The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and was thinking about how absolutely shit it was...then the name Alex Kurtzman appeared in the credits. Now it makes sense.
 
Mid season break in Discovery, and I think I might be kind of liking Discovery finally.

The writing is still ropey as hell, but the main storyline is fairly straightforward and relatively well told. Enjoying the Zora plot, and curious to see how things link up with that, the anomaly, and the reunification of the Federation.
 
will try to pluto before 9pm on sunday


when is paramount going to start ripping us off :hmm:


thought it was launching in march

:hmm:
 
Picard could have been good but just fell into the β€œlet’s get all the gang back together” hole that TNG does. Frustrating, because the story was good.

I disagree, I think it was the story and its cliches that ruined it.

Apologies for repeating an earlier post of mine but the best Picard episode of TNG (or at least my favourite) was the one where he went home to his brother and you got to see what the Borg actually did to him, and the series would have been better if they'd run with that idea to show what his entire life had done to him (his career and its end, the loss of his brother and nephew, not having a family of his own (except the memory-implanted one), losing Data etc etc). Picard as an old man dealing with all that in the middle of entirely oblivious French countryside could have been great.

There would have been less explosions, less flying plants, fewer Mass Effect rip-offs and potentially fewer Borg but I think it would have been a better show (or at least far less of a mess).

100% agree.

The story was basically shit, albeit excellently acted and made. The 'gettting the gang back together' parts were the best bits because they actually showed the humanity of the characters and what their lives had done to them.
