"Know what they call a, uh, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese on Qo'nos?" "They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?" "Nah, man, they got the kellicam system, they wouldn't know what the gently caress a Quarter Pounder is." "What do they call it?" "They call it a Royale je n'Im w'Ib n'gogh." "Royale je n'Im w'Ib n'gogh." "Thats right." "What do they call a Whopper?" "I dunno, I didn't go into Burger Ta'. But, you know what they put on french fries in First City instead of ketchup?" "What?" "Blood." "Yuck!

If you have never had tuna corn mayo pizza it sounds like a weird idea, and I admit I prefer it without mayo because lol pizza does not need more fat, but it's a quality pizza topping. It's salty and meaty and sweet and the corn cuts the heavy greasy mouth feel of the pizza.

I like Tarantino. I like Star Trek. I do not think I would like Tarantino Star Trek. Though it couldn't be any worse than Discovery!  But yeah though, I call bullshit since the last news I'd heard about him was that whatever film he did next was going to be his last and he was retiring. I'd believe that before believing he'd do Star Trek. Though it would be ironic if he's a Seth Macfarlane level superfan and does the best, most perfect Star Trek since TWOK that is totally respectful to what came before and is completely in canon with the Original Timeline.

Now that I think about it, "Masks" feels like something that would have worked far better on TOS. Also, I believe it was in one of these threads a few years ago we had some goon with a background in folklore, and it was their esteemed opinion that, given the real-world cultures D'Arsay mythology was based on, Masaka and Korgano are the sort of deities that would routinely engage in furious hatesex. Pleasant dreams, Jeb.

I’ve had a carbonara pizza with egg on it, and it was fantastic. Now, Tarantino I don’t like. There’s something smug about him, this crafted ‘auteur’ persona he goes out of his way to project, that rubs me up the wrong way. Just look at the announcement that he’s only going to make 10 films and then retire. What kind of self-indulgent arseholery is that? Dude, you’re 54, unless you’re planning on dying in the next 5 years, you’ve got a lot of very boring life ahead of you.

Oh, like he's going to stick to 10 films. This is from the man who threw a fit and said he'd never film Hateful Eight after the script got leaked. I believe he'll quit after 10 films just as much as I believe Daniel Day Lewis is never going to act again.

Steven Soderbergh retired from movies for a little bit, then he unretired. Tarantino is fine but Soderbergh is the true great american filmmaker in 2017 and should get a shot at doing a Trek. He already did Solaris.

Oh cool, 3 pages of people who didn't watch Discovery calling it "Ooh-Rah, The Troops" or Grimdark, thanks. For what it's worth, that episode was about something Lorca and Tyler did coming back to bite them and ended with the characters reaching an accord with the villain of the episode rather than killing or imprisoning them. (There's also a lot of hints that Tyler's speech is false at some level, either due to his bravado, since we know he's dealing with some pretty serious PTSD, or some other reason, as he's lied to Lorca and Burnham now on camera.) I don't think Tarantino is a good fit for the franchise. His stories tend to focus on Vices, violence and revenge. It's hard to see that working well in Trek. Trek characters don't quip, and consider violence to be a last resort.

Your first paragraph and second paragraph read as if they were from two completely different people. Vices, violence, and revenge has been much of Discovery's iffy plotline so far.

And if the show ends with Lorca as the sole survivor of his crew, I'll admit I'm wrong, but the show has already shown that this isn't the direction it's going. However, The Bloop posted:The villians sometimes do. It might be interesting to have a movie where the federation ship is only seen as the adversary. It's still Not Trek in the same way as Discovery so far, but it could be interesting. Almost, but historically, the "villains" in a Tarantino film get away with it.

I guess it depends on who you consider a villain in those films, since some of them don’t really have clear-cut villains. - Everyone is shot or arrested in Reservoir Dogs - Marcellus Wallace “gets away” in Pulp Fiction, but only after being saved by the hero - Ordell is killed in Jackie Brown - Bill and most of the Deadly Vipers are killed in Kill Bill - “Stuntman” Mike has the poo poo best out of him in Death Proof - Landa gets to live in the US, but has a swastika carved into his forehead in Basterds - The entire Candy family is killed and their plantation explodes in Django - Everyone dies in the Hateful Eight

True, Willis gets away too. Perhaps I am wrong on Tarantino in that regards. I still think the tone is off, but if you stick too closely to '80s Trek tone you get... The Orville.

I’ve always assumed he was arrested or shot right after the film ends. ed: Apparently there’s dialogue indicating he’s arrested after a short shootout, it’s just buried way back in the mix during the Orange/White scene.

Watched Charlie X last night on TOS. Seems like they were short of ideas in TOS. Every other episode is a nearly all powerful being somehow boarding the ship. The Man Trap, Charlie X, and Where No Man Has Gone Before all have the same general gist of plot. I did enjoy the mop monster for The Man Trap though I got a good chuckle over that

If they let a different good director do a non-canon standalone Trek movie every couple years playing around with whatever details of the franchise they wanted to, that could be really fun. I dont' need Tarantino to be the standard-bearer of canonical Trek, but I also don't necessarily need canonical Trek to be a happy and well-adjusted person. Let Wes Anderson make a Trek of little doll house ships. A Wong-Kar Wai Trek of beautiful, stifled yearning.

Yeah... when I say TOS is a classic cheese pizza, I'm thinking the 60s sort where they called it "Italian pizza-pie" or some poo poo, and used tomato paste and cheddar on biscuit dough. For those wide-eyed children (and kids at heart) of the era, it was a trip to loving Napoli.

They reuse the "godlike being" plot very frequently, about as much as "remarkably Earth-like planet" (which was partially for budget reasons). It's why I posited that watching the series in random order is actually almost better. They seemed to occasionally get into blocks of doing the same episode over and over again by accident.
