Most of this thread would disappear. There's more thoughtfulness in every Trek thread on SA than has come out of any material from this franchise since 1999 and that'll still be true no matter how much you keep posting

It even respects canon/continuity somewhat though the Klingon makeup is a bit odd.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Burnham as a Culturally Vulcan Human is okay, but I still get mad that they had to gild the lilly and literally make her Spock's never-before-acknowledged stepsister. There can be more than four Vulcans in the galaxy, writer guys. There are five but nobody wants to talk about Spock's other brother Spick.

I'd be all for the stretching of their stories and character development across multiple episodes if those stories and characters were interesting and cool instead of tired and lovely like the production design, and their references to prior shows (whether they come off as fanservice or not) mean gently caress all in light of that Like I'm not saying there's no redeeming factors in the show or that all the episodes are as bad as the next or that it can never improve but STD's been Walking Dead levels of pissweak from the start

Arcsquad12 posted:Okay, I'm convinced that post-algae planet BSG has just run out of ideas for a continuing plot. Let's just kill off Starbuck this episode! And in this one Tyrol is a union worker! Now Helo is trying to help anti vaxxers! Let's drag out Baltar's trial for six goddamn episodes! You're at the part where BSG takes a nosedive in quality and aside from a few episodes mostly flails around.

shovelbum posted:Also lol at one point Spock says outright that there has never been a mutiny on a Starfleet vessel. Covering for something there Spock?!?! it's probably crazy and insane to expect any writer to both watch and remember all of the prior episodes of star trek to get the canon right, but one thing that bugged me when i was reading about jj trek is that apparently all he (or maybe it was the writers?) did to prepare was like watch 5 episodes of the first season of the original series. that's just some lazy poo poo.

crimson carrots, i am very close to giving up on poz my neg trek. i just started the new ep and the loving misery is so overwrought, listening to mikey b drone on about how even the light in this evil universe isn't as bright and space isn't so magickal and intriguing and after an entire weekend in this dreadful place she can feel her humanity slipping through her blood stained fingers as her last vestiges of hope and wonder and happiness are stripped away by the cold biting teeth of her present reality, she finds herself staring at the agony booth, wondering if perhaps what she seeks lies within its doors - perhaps she'll finally feel something in there, because anything is better than nothing at all  like mirror universe eps were always, ALWAYS campy and fabulous and this humorless depressing soul asylum song of a universe is the worst possible direction they could have chosen. it was even possible for them to have done something fun and still play it straight. but they had to play it straight down the fuckin toilet

I think that's the thing about stepping into your mirror identity though right, it's an express train to madness bc either you become as bad as they are ASAP or die horribly

JJ pisses me off taht little shrimp. BItch. I say this as a 100% Shrimpy Manlet, Beta Cuck, but at least I'm not JJ. IMagine. I Watched All of Star Trek, every single Episode, and Movie, including the Animated Series, just to BEGIN to discuss STAR TREK, and here, this FUcker, this loving PEICE OF poo poo, get the whole Franchise under his AIDS infected grasp.... for watch 5 eps? Shameful. Karma will come to him, in time. Maybe not in this life, but in the next, and in theMIrroe Universe, even moreso. They will pay for their crimes.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:awwww i think it was just jj but i cant find the specific quote anymore, but 5 minutes of googling revealed this quote from jj: quote:I had no idea there had been 10 movies! I still haven't seen them all. I didn't want to become a student of Star Trek. I felt that was actually one of the few advantages I had. I was trying to make a movie, not trying to make a Trek movie. so i wouldn't be shocked if 5 episodes was an exaggeration. how can you not even be bothered to know how many previous movies were in the franchise of the movie you are making. then the lazy motherfucker tries to pass that off as an "advantage"

Yeah, why would it be weird to expect someone in that position to have a depth and breadth of Trek knowledge? It's not like you look at any other job and go "It's probably crazy and insane to expect a machinist to know a lot about machining. I mean, all those different bits? And so many metals?!?"

numberoneposter posted:Season 6 of Voyager...almost there...stay strong... I'm on Season 3. The episode where Kess was turned into a crazy warlord was pretty good. It's nice they continued that story about the Ferengi from TNG. All in all it's about 25% good. Did Chakotay actually bang Janeway or did VOY finding the cure block him soon enough?
