Two Items: If you get Discovery through Netflix, one of the language subtitle options is Klingon Second:  Mu Zeta posted:Now is a good time to go back to those paid advertisement tweets from so called journalists saying Discovery is loving incredible. So we can say they were right? It's getting really good reviews so far.

zoux posted:This is confusing me because the main character on TWD is Rick, which Rick are you talking about. I think they're talking about TWD season 5(?) finale when they're all locked in the boxcar. Originally they wanted Rick's final line to be 'They don't know they're loving with the wrong people', but it got changed to 'screwing' for whatever reason. The use of the 'gently caress' in Fear felt like it fit well, cause that's probably the most automatic reaction to a giant horde of zombies.

Yeah that sucked. Bojack Horseman can say gently caress whenever they want but they limit it to one per season and they use it to amazing effect.

The reviews I've seen just say it's an ok start which I agree with. The Twitter people were way overreacting to the show. Have you seen it? Every drat scene with the klingons brings the pace to a screeching halt. That's the first thing they need to fix.

I have no real interest in Star Trek and have paid no attention to any of this but is there a reason everyone is so negative on the show sight unseen? Is it just internet nerd cynicism or "not my Trek" or is there an actual thing that happened? The trailers I've seen look good and most of the reviews I've seen/heard have been positive. But then there was this whole "at least we have Orville" thing for the cheaper, goofy satire/homage. I feel like I'm missing something.

I feel like I'm missing something. it's pretty much all "not my trek" coupled with healthy dollops of rose colored glasses for TNG the discovery pilot was way way way WAY better than the first season or three of TNG by like, a rather huge margin and pretending it wasn't is just amazing to me for trekkies, star trek is not so much a franchise with flaws and ups and downs, it's a religion, and just like religions, they cling to extremely outdated and weird old poo poo because it's more "pure" or w/e

I just know how much the production has been plagued with issues and I super don't trust CBS. So I just expect it to start to suck at some point. Not that it has yet but it probably will.

I just finished episode 2 and man the dialogue and non-action stuff is pretty bad and boring a lot of the time. But these eps were ok overall.

Y'all didn't tell me that there was a commercial free sub plan for CBS All Access. Not that I'm going to pay $10 a month to watch NCIS but it might be worth it to drop ten bucks once a year to binge ST. Here's an interesting blog post positing that All Access isn't a good faith attempt by CBS to enter the streaming market, but to set a clear price for its content. quote:Imagine the retransmission fee negotiations between CBS and Comcast on a monthly fee per subscriber for CBS programming.

I neither hated nor loved it. I'm sick of prequels and Klingons are one of the most boring parts of Star Trek, so I'm not super interested in this to begin with. It didn't wow me, but if it were on TV I'd keep watching it. As it is I can't be bothered.

History has a new drama show starting in December about the Knights Templar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJMrwu_nh0 I remember when we scoffed at Vikings but that turned out to be pretty good and Hatfields and McCoys was excellent. Honestly, I'd be fine with History pivoting to mainly historical fiction drama over Swamp Gold or whatever. Anytime I've gotten really into a historical period and read a lot of non-fiction about it, it's because I was inspired to find out more by a really good piece of historical fiction.

The trailer didn't grab my attention for its whole span, but it could be interesting if the time period covers poo poo like the Templars invading Lithuania for no reason and being corrupt as poo poo, also some light Mongol action. Dunno about this focus on the Grail tho, seems ahistorical as hell.

[Edit: I said that badly, what I should have said was: I don't hate Abrams Trek on prinicple, I hate it because he values style over substance, and relies on nostalgia instead of telling unique stories in a beloved universe. See also The Force Awakens and Super 8.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Sep 26, 2017 |

Any social media poo poo that you see before something is out and isn't from someone at a real news outlet you can safely assume is paid. This is becoming more and more common practice.

new trek was fine, not even in the same ballpark as Orville tone-wise, so it'll be fine and all the hack reviewers had to backspace their pre-written hot takes that the orville is closer to trek than the official trek also it was fun to imagine the soda cans crushed in frustration as 2 LADEYS boarded a klingon warship. Their guns blazing pose as they transported was pretty cool.

Loved Scrubs and felt it was the closest. I still watched House, not for the medical aspect, but it was fun watching House poo poo on people constantly. If there are fun or entertaining characters, I will watch understanding that the science/medicine won't be accurate and it doesn't really bug me.

Maria Bello's character was living in a dump and eating cold pop tarts because her toaster was broken. Do any doctors actually live like that?

Using Scrubs as my source of information I am led to believe that most young doctors are deep in debt to medical school and the ones who aren't are ones who came from money or get in on private practices. I'm just going to have fun comparing every medical show to Scrubs as if its some kind of baseline for accuracy now.

I know the whole point of this argument is stupid because beginning in TOS it was used to deal with the political issues of the time but how in the gently caress can you really be that stupid to not see it.
