The Star Trek Thread

[Tafdolphin]

God how does it keep getting worse?!

Every moment is trying to be profound and meaningful, complete with epic swells of music and dramatic framing, which means none of them actually are. Everyone talks either like they think they're delivering the greatest monologue put on screen or like they're in a whacky teen-drama.

I hate it. Actively hate it. Watching it is like having ants under my skin.

I'm so sorry I ever doubted you Hexx.

So, 9/10 then?

You don't have to watch it if you aren't enjoying it. It is very different from other Trek shows and the absence of a few Q episodes (however they shoehorn him in) is disappointing.
Hopefully, the change to a more classic planet of the week style format may be more to your taste.

We're committed to hate watching it now I think. There aren't that many eps and we've nothing else (save the Trek films) on our radar.

God, though. Genuinely fuming.

Lower Decks is on Amazon Prime in UK now

Get past shakes start and I actually really liked it

[Cheeky Devlin]

Lower Decks is the best trek since Voyager.

I said it when it was showing in the US, but there is so much love and respect for the franchise evident in the writing. Some ridiculously deep cuts as well.

Really looking forward to season 2.

[Somebody Else's Presents]

Yeah, Lower Decks is basically a love letter to older Star Trek. And I love it.

[Corazon de Leon]

The writer of Lower Decks wrote a fake season 8 set of scripts and storylines for TNG that my wife got me for Christmas. It's very good!

[Tafdolphin]

Finished Discovery season 3.

Not much to say I haven't already said, although whoever directed the finale really, really likes Pixar films (the elevator chase was straight from Monsters Inc, the robots were literally knock-off Wall-Es).

Utter shite. I can't think of a single redeeming thing to say, except that S1 should have been set in this time period from the start. That it wasn't and was somehow supposed to work as a prequel is beyond me.

On to Lower Decks I think.
