Is Discovery pretty serialized or is it more like the other Star Treks?

Enterprise was fairly serialized in the last two seasons but nobody watched that show. Discovery appears to be serialized so far but we're really only into the first "real" episode right now after the two parter pilot. I do think the klingons will be the primary antagonists for the entire season.

It's no biggie although I'm curious what you meant about it. I just always say serialized when I am referring to a show having a lot of ongoing plot threads. Seems like more and more shows are doing that these days though.

People use serialized interchangeably to mean "loosely connected episodic adventures" and "large connected narrative told in installments" to the point that it's become impossible to tell which they mean.

Ah, I generally prefer the latter and what I was curious about. If it follows the other Treks I'd guess it would wind up being the former. e: I've never really been a big fan of Trek. I like sci fi but BSG and The Expanse are more my jam. Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Oct 2, 2017 |

I just watched this week's Orville and STD back to back. Both of them ostensibly look like Star Trek but neither of them passes the smell test. I will watch next week's episodes.

Rocksicles posted:Anyone watching Absentia? I hope they can keep the premise interesting, so far it's been a good balance between reveals and secrets. Good to see Stana Katic in something after the whole Castle thing. For some reason it stood out to me a lot of actors in this have (or had) a great voice, especially the FBI boss. The child actor was pretty bad though.

I feel at this stage, people should just point out when a child actor is crushing it. They rarely knock it out of the park. Saying that, i agree. The daughter in Tin Star is great, but i assume shes much closer to being an adult.

So, uh... Am I the only person who binge-watched Big Mouth this past weekend and loving LOVED it? I mean... Sure it was like, one really big long penis joke (lol) but it also was one of the very first shows I've ever seen that really explicitly showed what revoltingly creepy animalistic monsters boys under-going puberty are. Or uh, girls too, really. And also how awkward and awful and embarrassing it is no matter what and how it can be even more awkward and embarrassing when friends are going through puberty and you aren't and how everything is SO EMBARRASSING to quote the show I felt like the musical number at the end perfectly summed up the gloriously beautiful horror that this show is. I really hate Family guy though and I'm worried liking this may mean I actually like other stupid cartoons I purport to loathe. This really had a je ne sais quoi to it though, from the Garrison Keillor head-loving to the way Maya Rudolph says "Bubble Bath" to Jon Hamm as a seductive garbage-scallop seducing Richard Kind mercilessly So much to love

Garrett Dillahunt is going to have a recurring role in Gifted. It's great because he's one of my top five favorite character actors but bad because the show is now doomed to premature cancellation.

So Ghosted and Wisdom of the Crowd tied last night in terms of 18-49 Rating/Share....but 5.5 million more people watched Wisdom of the Crowd. CBS' numbers are ridiculous.

I'd be interested to see their demographic trends, are they adding new viewers as older ones die off? Does something happen to you at 55 where you suddenly like superficial techno thrillers and lovely procedurals and become a CBS viewer?

In 20 years CBS will be running Rick and Morty reruns for the old farts and the younger people will be saying the same poo poo about us and our dumb old people shows.

MiddleOne posted:How the hell is there now yet another tech billionaire police procedural. I absolutely love this aspect of TV. When a totally random premise "coincidentally" gets like 3 versions of it on different networks within the same 12 months. You know there's gotta be some story about the premise being shopped to multiple networks and a bunch of them passed and decided to develop their own version? Or for some reason a bunch of networks get scared that a new show is going to be a hit sight unseen so they all develop their own version before the first one has a chance to sink or swim. Its so weird. Escobarbarian posted:Mindy Project seemed to be allowed to end of its own accord with him in it for three seasons. Could the tide be changing? I thought Raising Hope more or less ended where it should have. If anything it might have gone on a season too long.
