lelandjs posted:Finally got around to watching the Orville and, yeah, it's more or less what I expected. Dial down the sarcasm and jokes a little bit and you'd have a decently average Star Trek episode, albeit with slightly underdeveloped characters (I'll give it a pass for that, though, because all the Treks since TNG have had double length premieres to introduce the crew). The effects were better than I expected, though I anticipate more of the prosthetic aliens instead of the numerous CGI ones in the pilot, but that's fine and is more Trek anyway. While you're right about the dialogue shots, they also did some trek style walk and talks and transition shots. There's even a spiral staircase, presumably for no other reason than that DS9 had one.

The "fade to black" commercial transitions accompanied by a orchestral sting was one of the best TNG references I saw on the show.

Despite the reviews The Orville premiere was a smash, posting the highest rating in the demo for a scripted program since This Is Us.

Josh Lyman posted:That's 100% because it followed Cowboys/Giants. Ratings will tank next week and continue to tank thereafter. Fox are morons if they renew anytime soon. People in this thread should actually look up stuff before they concoct their hot rear end takes.

Being a Trek sendup/ripoff it's supposed to look a bit poo poo. The comedy wasn't very good but I'm willing to give it another chance. Basically if they let Seth do the Trek stuff and threw Mel Brooks into the fountain of youth and got him to do the jokes the show would 100% work.

Also if they're being true to Star Trek series, the first season has to suck.

Paracaidas posted:Does Insecure merit the hype? I'm looking for a new show with a small back catalog Is it particularly hyped? I like it well enough. If a show about black women (and tangentially men) in their 20s and what that's like in 2017 appeals to you, you might well do too, but then I also like stuff like Crazy Ex Girlfriend and You're the Worst.

I, bored on an Sunday afternoon, watched this movie. It was both better and worse than I expected. [Edit: If you're wondering why I bothered, it's because I was hoping that Adam Sandler, free of the studio shackles, would start making movies like Happy Gilmore again. Plus I like Terry Crews and Jorge Garcia.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Sep 13, 2017 |

I wasn't trying to be critical of Star Trek; I love TNG. But Treks all look a bit poo poo. It's syndicated sci fi, so of course it does.

I'll admit that I used to think the chairs in the Observation Lounge looked amazingly comfortable, but recent rewatches have shown me that they're just regular old "nice" office chairs from 1987.

The podcast is OK, I stopped listening because the host was getting really annoying about plugging his books in it and his wroting and delivery is a bit too...breathless? I get why people might like a show that plays up acting like all these myths could be real but it wasn't really for me.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Trek fans and nostalgia. 100% of the appeal to me is its direct star trek references. I have no idea what anyone would see in it if they haven't watched hundreds of hours of star trek. Edit: It's like how Stranger Things reminded people of the aesthic of 80s things, and they loved it because it pushed those nostalgia buttons. That, but for star trek.

I finally got to watching the pilot for the Deuce. It's the best first episode of a David Simon I've seen yet. The characters were compelling and there were some really beautifully done moments - I loved how Candy's phone messages transitioned from whore life to real life as she was stripping off her whore gear. No idea how things are going to tie together, obviously, but they presented a world I really want to dive into deeper.

Yeah, it's just as thoughtful and smart as any other Simon show with the added bonus of being pretty damned entertaining.
