Star Trek TV series(es) - general discussion of the franchise

Stange new World's is pretty good. I can't get into Discovery it's technology solves every problem, no one can beat them etc.

Yeah in some of the best episodes of SNW they're outgunned or outclassed or just have no idea what the fuck they're up against. Which is exactly what would happen if you were a young spacefaring culture still getting your technological shit together.
 
Just watched the first episode of SNW if it goes on like this it has a great deal of promise. Kirk's older brother Sam made a brief appearance in TOS as a corpse played by Shatner with a dodgy stuck on moustache.
Loved it when the character complete with dodgy moustache appeared at the end of SNW
 
I think I'm starting to settle in to DS9 already, enjoyed the second episode lastnight - it was somewhat of a murder mystery.
There are some good episodes. The best one is a time travel back to TOS! It’s a comment on Sisco’s very odd delivery, though, that putting him next to Kirk only emphasises that ! He totally ruins a perfectly good gag with his timing.
 
Babylon 5 Crusade was a spinoff from the main series starring Gary Cole and Daniel Dae Kim.
It ran for a single 13 episode series before it was cancelled.
Technical I think it was cancelled before it ran for a single series.
 
I recently found myself questioning if I should be watching DS9 at the end of In the Hands of the Prophets. It was the moment Sisko dived through the air in slow-mo to come to the rescue shouting "NOOOOOOOO!!" in response to the assasination attempt on Vadek Bareil by the religious fanatic loyal to Vadek Winn (the Bajoran fundamentalist cleric).

So I wondered if I should skip ahead to Voyager. But at the same time that seems like getting through Star Trek too quickly and it was funny atleast. Thats the thing about Star Trek innit, its good but also corny as fuck, which is admittedly another way it is enjoyable.

OTOH, I can't get into Discovery because it's fucking atrocious.

I have yet to see Strange New Worlds because I've yet to get around to torrenting it
 
if you find discovery atrocious you may like strange new worlds better less arch and episodes with a nice clean resolution


if they where going for a throw back

they could of at least included the "well folks what have we learnt today recap" that was so prevalent in early television up to the noughties

I watched the first 2 seasons of Discovery and hated it. SNW does look better, but I just don't have the time to download stuff much. Shame it's not on netflix as i've no interest in streaming Paramount. Maybe I'll get round to it, or pick up the dvd
 
I've started catching up with a few of the ST:TNG episodes I haven't seen before recently and it's kind of sad looking back at that time. It was almost like ST:TNG was around at a moment when there was hope about the future in terms of equality, the environment etc and the programme reflected many of the themes of that age. There was a kind of naive thought at the time that maybe humanity was going to enter a better era. Now, nearly 30 years after it finished though, it's same old world and I guess a lot of ST:TNG content would be dismissed as 'snowflake specials' by some of today's right-wing voices.
 
aye right wing bastards have not change a lot in the last 30 years just change tactics and its holding back the future sadly
