I don't know how anyone can think that the doctor from Discovery was anything less than the second most boring main character in all of Star Trek.

To be fair, McCoy was incredibly boring without Spock and to a lesser extent Kirk to bounce off of. About his only character trait beyond that was that he likes to drink. I see Quark and Odo on DS9 the same way, very weak characters on their own with great chemistry and interesting relationships with most of the rest of the cast.

McCoy is an awesome character, whatever. He’s crotchety ole boy who doesn’t trust any of the magical future tech or pointy eared green devils, and isn’t afraid to say so. He likes dames and booze but his life is full of regrets. Basically a country music song protagonist in space. He wasn’t even in the pitch and Kelley made him the most important of the supporting chars in like, half a dozen episodes and played him into a lead role within a season. I have no idea how anyone finds him boring.

I can kind of understand why someone would view McCoy as being a bit dry since he’s the TOS audience insert. He has more charisma and personality than anyone else on the show though, so I’m not sure how the hell anyone would find him boring.

Pulaski was just McCoy written as a woman most of the time. I still have to rank Phlox lower, considering he participated in genocide.

WampaLord posted:That one doctor whose research ended up saving Worf from a life of being a vegetable, but she discovered it unethically or something so she's the bad guy. The "or something" was that she was testing drugs/procedures on people without their knowledge or consent and got caught letting someone die earlier in the episode to further her research.

Drink-Mix Man posted:"Federation" I think. There's a bit where the Warbird cloaks as they ram them and the bridge crew sees the cloaking effect ripple across their bodies. Nah that's a bit earlier. There are two warbirds, one's manned by only a few people and defecting, and the Enterprise flies in between the defecting one's double hulls and it cloaks them both. It fucks up the Enterprise's warp core and they have to shut it down, and they're about to be detected, and without the warp core they'll be hosed in battle, so they supercharge the structural integrity field and shoot out at full impulse and ram the other warbird before it has a chance to react. The Enterprise only survives because their core is turned off.

How often are any of these characters on their own, though? I don't know how you can judge them by the 10% they're "boring" and ignore the 90% where you admit they have great chemistry and relationships.

Worst doctor is the Dr Mengele Cardassian Nazi that was made by Voyagecrew. Second is the evil EMH on BADASS MORALLY BANKRUPT VOYAGER, tied with the morally compromised Voyager EMH who biorapes Seven and wires her brain to sing as he does so.

 From the graphic novel adaptation of Harlan Ellison's original screenplay for The City On the Edge of Forever. I rather liked this story much more than what we got, although I agree that this would have required at least a two parter and would have reduced the rest of the season to clip shows for all the special effects that would have been needed. Also, Roddenberry would have never let it film as is.. DRUG DEALERS ON *MY* ENTERPRISE? WELL I NEVER

Crusher is good in episodes where she's a space detective (all two or three of them) and really bad in every episode where she's doctor mom, which is the rest

Cythereal posted:It gets dumber because that supposition is how Kirk is able to infiltrate the Borg homeworld and destroy the Collective. The book's logic goes like this: I don't think that's how it happened, though. I think you're sort of misremembering separate parts and blending them together into a Kirk-centric whole. Which is a great way to describe the Shatnerverse novels, come to think of it.

So I have been thinking about subscribing to CBS all access to watch Discovery and I was wondering what the general feeling of the show is? I haven't really heard much about the reception and I liked what I saw in the first episode that aired on TV but I was wondering if it was worth a subscription. Please try to refrain from spoiling me.

If you can get a 7 day free trial through Amazon Prime I'd recommend that for sure, otherwise I thought it was worth 9.99 to binge through and then cancel my sub. I wish it was a little more recognizably Trek (not sure wtf is going on with the uniforms given we are only supposed to be ten years off from Kirk and Co.)

I dunno, the Greatest Gen guys kinda suck the dick of the show. I don't get it. I think it is highly polished but completely mediocre writing.

I haven't really heard much about the reception and I liked what I saw in the first episode that aired on TV but I was wondering if it was worth a subscription. Please try to refrain from spoiling me. I found it un-fun to watch in the sense that almost everyone's an unrepentant rear end in a top hat, Hard Men Making Hard Choices. There are a few characters I really enjoyed, but the show revolves around Michael and her struggles, and I feel she's one of the biggest assholes on the ship - and more importantly that no one seemed to recognize Michael as an rear end. I also found the show hard to reconcile with the rest of Trek, given that it's supposed to be just ten years before TOS nothing looks or feels like it belongs in that era. Starfleet is super military, the Klingons are a mix of ISIS and North Korea and look nothing at all like they do anywhere else in Trek, the Discovery looks and feels ridiculously advanced, stuff like that. My biggest issues with the show are the tone, and season one ends with the promise that the dark times are over and things will be better. We'll see. I have no confidence in the show, it seems too much in love with being a modern "prestige" drama that just happens to have the Trek name slapped onto it.

If the show improves enough to be worthwhile over the next season I'm sure you'll hear the buzz pick up.

There isn't really a general feeling, as people's reactions seem all over the place; I personally thought it ranged from "meh" to "not worth it" and I gave up after 3 episodes. Some love it, some hate it, some are on the fence or cautiously optimistic. If you liked the first episode you might as well give it a shot, especially if you can get a free month.
