I haven’t actually watched more than one ep of Discovery. The moral of the first episode being “racism is good, actually” turned me off.

It's weird how I can be totally fine with the current output of Star Wars, but then I look over at Star Trek and think "man they're just going full cash-in with this, aren't they?" I think it might be Kurtzman's involvement, or something, but it's interesting to see things from the ~*other side*~ as it were.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Mirror Georgiou was awful, so of course they’re going to base an entire show around her. I fully expect her appearances in Discovery season 2 to now function as a backdoor pilot. The Star Wars people just learned like?? This year! that too many spin-offs causes franchise fatigue. Did the Trek people not notice that or

This is where I've been at since before Discovery. The name "Star Trek" isn't sufficient anymore to get me in the door. Payndz posted:Abrams managed to kill both Stars Trek and Wars for me - though the entire corporate ethos of "pump out as much branded product as fast as you can" behind them also contributed. I haven't seen Beyond or Discovery, or Last Jedi or Solo, and really don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. (The me of 10-15 years ago would be utterly shocked to hear that, but things change.) Beyond, out of all of those, is generally pretty positive in the fan reaction department. It's not going to kill you to continue not to see it, but I'd say if you give one of them a chance, do that one.

Yeah, Beyond is a perfectly decent Trek movie. Not the greatest but it's the only one of the new trilogy I'd watch again.

Nick Meyer is running it for now. IIRC Meyer hasn’t done anything at CBS since shortly after Fuller was fired, so the Khan prequel show is likely dead. It’s the only “announced” project that we haven’t heard anything about since Discovery finished its first season.

Meyer gave this statement in November.quote:“I was commissioned to write a 3-hour or 3-night event, and that’s what I did. It’s called Ceti Alpha V and I don’t know the current status. It’s been up in the air. Partially, there was a lot of confusion between CBS, and there were big upheavals at CBS and while they sort of didn’t know who was in charge, they also didn’t know what they were going to do with Ceti Alpha V. I’m not exactly sure what’s happened, I haven’t heard from them in some time.”

For all its faults, the scene in Discovery where the mirror universe Klingon rebellion was obliterated from orbit is the only time since Voyager that Star Trek weapons have sounded like they had any weight behind them.

Luigi Thirty posted:You have a problem with going back in time to hang out with Sarah Silverman? I really like Sarah Silverman and she would have been a cool addition to the Voyager cast. You know, in the alternate universe where Voyager writers/producers made good or compelling decisions. They could have brought the character back to the future Gillian Taylor style. And don't say that sort of thing doesn't work, Chiana was only supposed to be on Farscape for three episodes before the produces decided they liked the character/actress.

VOY: "Future's End" I can't buy the crew having "The question isn't where we are ... it's when we are!" awe about time travel when they've done it in every single series. Maybe it's something they leave out of the history books and Starfleet Academy doesn't have guidance on time-travel protocol. It takes almost nine minutes to get to "What will we need to pass as locals from this era?" Kinda boring that the spaceship crashed on the rich part of a Southern California beach because they've done that setting several times before and Starfleet is in California. welp, I'm out. if I wanted to criticize-watch something I'd be watching political news galenanorth fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Jan 16, 2019 |

FuturePastNow posted:hell we know Starfleet Academy has a time travel class, Temporal Mechanics, that cadets all hate and fear I'm pretty sure it's because it's a big class of 'We actually don't know poo poo, but we pretend we have working theories'. It seems implied there's different rules of time travel in Star Trek depending on the method used, especially if the Prophets or the Guardian of Forever is involved.

I wonder if the Temporal powers are the same as in normal space. Are the Klingons and Romulans jockeying for best timeline? Or are they allied against some power that doesn't exist yet/anymore but controls massive swathes of Temporal "territory"?

Voyager, but each week Harry Kim comes back from a future time to give them information or a warning. Only he never goes back to his "time" and now the one that was here doesn't need to go to the past, so the ship is slowly filling up with different Harry Kims.

If time was as easy to manipulate as Voyager made it out to be, the entire universe would be devastated and lifeless. My point is Voyager sucks. But to be fair First Contact got the ball rolling by being like "oh yeah, the borg can time travel, but they decide not to at first in order to give the federation a heads up."
