Oh, Painless. drat I should have looked up Kamarag first because I can totally see it: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kamarag E: bonus trivia quote:...Schuck was the first person to utter the word "gently caress" in a mainstream feature film. His exact line – spoken during the climactic football game to an opposing (and imposing) team member – was "Your loving head is coming right off." Huh.

Now I was just googling Easy Rider (1969) and it is surprising to learn it didn't have any F-bombs. I forgot if it had. It does feature flipping the bird, but it turns out somebody flipped the bird in a 1928 film called Speedy.

Angry Salami posted:You don't remember all those episodes about Kirk's dog Butler, and the love of his life Antonia? Man, the Nexus sequence just summed up his life perfectly... I actually liked those details because it seemed like Kirk was doing something between movies. Too often on Star Trek characterization begins and ends on board the starship Enterprise.

For starters, I’d actually air it on a real channel instead of using it to prop up a lovely streaming service that won’t exist in 5 years. That way it would actually stand a chance at gaining an audience that wasn’t just existing diehards.

I guess more seriously, focus on the new live, new civilizations thing and focus on the ensemble. Don't do DARK TREK or WHaT IF THe FEdERaTION waS BaD?! I feel like every Star Trek lately misses the exploration of science, philosophy, and the bigger questions of society. They all want to be action shows to talk about how horrible everything is or become action with no substance.

Exploring a new galaxy and seeing new crazy space poo poo and not the well-trodden Alpha Quadrant. Trying to open relations with the Kelvans but Andromeda's a big galaxy and they haven't heard from them in 300 years and have no idea where to start. The captain is Jean-Kirk Siskway, a biracial trans woman...

Snow Cone Capone posted:What? VR detective simulations and playing musical instruments are "actor-y hobbies?" I think most complaints about that scene are more related to the fact that they are throwing a frat party in the middle of a WAR. You even have Tyler making a speech honoring the dead just to remind you of that and then it goes right back to Drunk Tilly telling Micheal "I think he liiiiiiiikes you". Me, on the other hand I hate it because I WANT a world where most socializing is done via music recitals and book clubs instead of sports and drinking.

And I sorta liked Disco even. Brawnfire posted:Read collections of the best sci-fi short stories. This would own. I relatively recently read a Trek novel from the mid-70s written by Joe Haldeman (of the sci-fi classic "The Forever War") and, while it wasn't stellar, it was also Different and Interesting and Not Bad. Would love to see John Scalzi's or Kim Stanley Robinson's take on Trek, or to have seen Ursula le Guin's/Iain M. Banks' take on it. Drone fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Jul 12, 2019 |

The thing is, while we know the the V'drush are the protagonist's enemy, we don't know what the war is about, or who is right or wrong, if either side is

Set 50 years after TNG, new crew, Enterprise G, optimistic look at the future, mostly episodic but with some small over-arching storyline. Everyone loves it, wow, so hard.

I wanna see something set around 2600-700 ad, as that's around 300 years after TNG, so we could see what became of the civilisations that were met during TNG but weren't ready yet, like the aliens in "First Contact" and the Microbrain (aka the first non-organic lifeform that the federation discovered, they did tell humanitiy to come back in 300 years after all). Hell, bring back the Nanites that wesley accidentally supercharged, see what they became after 300 years on a planet of their own. By that point Federation relations with races like the Romulans could be unrecognisable.

Is there a decent resource out there that compiles how Discovery's second season arc would have panned out if the showrunners hadn't been fired? It definitely feels like what was set up in the beginning of the season is not how things intended to play out.
