Admittedly I try to avoid that sort of video because I know it'll mess with my front page, but I haven't seen many videos claiming that Doctor Who is boring, but I've linked to a lot that claim its too "political/SJWish" now, and we all know what that means.

This all sounds (and is) ridiculous but don't let it put you off Disco. And the tardigrade stuff is only in one episode. I personally can't remember anyone referring to it as a 'giant space tardigrade' and I've seen the episode twice, but it's possible someone said it jokingly. They call it Ripper. And is it really that much more ridiculous than a lot of the TNG era stuff, or the Bajoran prophets, or, hell, warp drive?

Disco's awesome and really pisses off the right people. Especially Stamets and Tilly :3:.
Yeah, a lot of the white noise against Discovery was literally noise from white people because the visible cast was black female, female, gay and Clem Fandango.

Also Anson Mount was absolutely perfect in S2 as Pike, but unfortunately you have to watch season 1 to really appreciate how much of a breath of fresh air he is after the constant grimdark negativity. Although the Mudd episode was pretty interesting and it has Michelle Yeoh.

It's not awful, it's just tonally far more like the JJ Abrams films and not at all like any of the other trek shows. If you watch it as a sci fi show without the expectations that Trek brings, it's OK. Unfortunately most people just go 'ugh discovery, I heard it's bad' without even trying it.


Plank Sanction posted:

This was actually dismissed in court last month but the tardigrade thing was only in at most a couple of early episodes. No-one was sued (and CBS were taken to court, not Paramount).
I was reading something about this last week, apparently he tried to represent himself and got steamrolled because he wasn't using the right buzzwords or bringing up the right case law, so he's currently trying to kickstart funding for an appeal with actual copyright specialists.

Its hard to find modern orchestral Sci-fi that doesnt rip off Holst in some way or another... Its pretty incredible how influential that suite is.
You should listen to Music of the Spheres, if you can get your hands on it. You have to :filez: it since there is a whole history of bullshit behind why it's still not really available for purchase.

The producers keep teasing it after the end of S2 where they dropped him and :spock: off on the enterprise but I worry that they'll leave the grimdark producers in charge and it'll just be another 'can the captain explode the explosion before the explosion explodes?' plot with a background arc where everything is not only poo poo but getting worse.

I just want a traditional captain / ship / crew trek encountering planet of the week that isn't desperately trying to be clever or break the mould. With all of the shows coming out right now its like they bought the rights to trek and then immediately went 'right, how do we make it completely different from that?'
