The last 4 Star Trek shows were named after the vessel that the crew rode around in, so I think Patrick Stewart is going to be giving a lot of piggyback rides.Peachfart posted:They actually did 3 MASH sequels.

LividLiquid posted:They shouldn't be bringing back anything at all. Through TNG's hundreds of episodes, they had one cameo by McCoy, a two-parter with Spock, and an episode with Scotty. The rest of the show they developed their own poo poo. Remember, STD is what happens when current Trek showrunners try to make their own poo poo. Spoilers: it's actual human poo poo.

Remember when Enterprise was an obvious slap in the face to anyone who cared about continuity because it used TNG-style Klingons, and the Enterprise looked too much like an Akira-class, and everyone knows Spock was the first Vulcan in Starfleet, what are they trying to pull with this nonsense, is this a stealth reboot or what? I'm looking forward to twenty years from now, when people will be very angrily complaining about how Star Trek: Deep Space Ten and Admiral Tilly: The Series don't fit with Discovery's aesthetic...

Like, I *get* that they're going for a classic original series look with the long, non-spinning camera shots, but in my mind Trek is about spinning, y'know? Star Trek: Discovery had a spinning camera, so did Star Trek: S31, Star Trek: Pike and and Star Trek: Mirror. Going back to the still shots is really... I dunno. Just loses the tension for me.

Mister Kingdom posted:Wasn't that a spinoff from the movie? There was actually a lawsuit over that. The producer of the film had right of first refusal for any spinoff, and also royalties for any spinoff from the book or movie, so he sued. Fox said that it was a spinoff of the show, not the movie. The judge split the difference, giving him royalties but denying his right to produce it.

While the de-evolving thing is always dumb as hell, the Next Generation episode Genesis was at least fun to watch as it had a lot of imagination. Spider-Barkely, Frog-Troi and Lobster-Worf are at least visually interesting and the makeup department were obviously having a lot of fun with even small things like the bitemark that Worf left on Troi's neck.

It's par for the course. When TNG started there were plenty of vocal Trek fans who said they would never accept it. My best friend when I was growing up refused to watch it. Even after it got good, it didn't matter. People gonna people. I get irrationally angry about plenty of stuff being not exactly how I like it, so I get it. I just don't get that way about Star Trek. But I get why some people do. And if there's any place I'd expect to find them, it'd be on an ancient internet forum posting their indignities in a star trek thread.

Their waiting room, which I can't find a good high-res photo of, looks like a drop ship or some poo poo:  Weirdly their Facebook page doesn't have many shots of the interior, and none of the exterior. It's a chain hair salon (like a Great Clips in the US), and the outside is all really dark tinted glass with a giant frosted word "STARGATE" above the salon chain logo.

Picard show looks like it has a big cast who might take away much valuable Picard time. If they have the balls though to use the Borg, one of the franchise's most succesful threats, only to actually do a heartfelt story of refugees, traumatized victims on both sides finding their place et al, I'll be impressed.

This is confusing, because how would the Intrepid have a whole ship of Vulcans of varying rank (including, presumably, Captain) by the time this guy is a Lieutenant Commander? gently caress that guy and his lack of thought.

My opinion of Picard is it looks like an action movie so it's going to be bad. TNG was not an action-adventure show and their attempts to make it into one in the movies failed. Like it'll have Picard and Jeri of Ryan and Spaceships in it but I simply do not have any interest in a generic action story with Picard in.

There’s maybe three action shots in that whole trailer. Picard shooting a disruptor, that scene with the helmeted people chasing the girl, and maybe something with a ship? People have been freaking out all week about the trailer having ‘too much action’ but it really doesn’t.

They should've just brought back Picard as the captain of the ship in the Lower Decks show and have him voiced by PStew but have him act like Bullock instead.

People have been freaking out all week about the trailer having ‘too much action’ but it really doesn’t. But why would they chose to highlight the exciting action scenes in a trailer? Everyone knows the best scenes to put into a trailer are ones with quiet dialogue and thoughtful ideas, because they translate best when stripped of context and shown out of order in a minute-long teaser!

Helmsman: "this isn't a leisurely ride to church. if you aren't going at least Slipdrive Factor X with Nucleoinjectors dialled into Maximum Anti-Eleven, we won't get there on time to save all the Borgfugees from the Romulanazis."
