Timeless Appeal posted:I know, I think you're missing my point. For me, in New York, WPIX was an independent station. So even though Next Gen was syndicated it was being treated as primetime television for this independent channel because they didn't have actual network produced original programming. But by 95, WB took over, and offered actual prime time programming. hi5 WPIX buddy

Pretty sure it was WPIX at like 11pm or so back in the 80s where I first really started watching Star Trek.

bull3964 posted:150,000 people keeping an all-access sub for a single year would be over $12 million. That's at the lower subscription tier which also has advertising, so that's additional revenue on top of that. Of course they're pants on head stupid, they're a big corporate entity! See also how CBS totally hosed up the TNG HD release by allowing SD versions to compete with it in streaming. I mean, hell, they ought to be able to just say "okay, once enough people preorder, we'll commit to it"

I'm good with throwing DS9 into the HD AI process. Please do not re-do entire sequences with modern graphics design ala What We Left Behind, though. One of the problems Star Trek has is being ashamed of the special effects of it's time. About the only special effect I've seen that's just so straight up bad that I wish it could be redone is Odo's fight with the changling at the end of season 3.

I don't know if this is a controversial opinion, but S3 of DS9 is probably its actual weakest season, below S1 when graded on a curve for Trek first seasons and how they were developing the overall series story.

Isn't like, Improbable Cause and The Die is Cast in that season? Our Man Bashir? Past Tense? Improbable Cause? Civil Defense? House of Quark? Defiant? Second Skin? The Adversary? edit: I checked and Our Man Bashir is not season 3. But Explorers is in it. Lots of weak episodes like Meridian, Prophet Motive, Shakaar, Visions as well though. But that's a strong first seven episodes from The Search to Civil Defense. Meridian is in the running for the worst episode in the series sure but right after that is Defiant of sideburn fame. I guess the back half of the season is kinda lame aside from the Improbable Cause two parter. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Mar 31, 2020 |

Yeah, literally just finished Season 3 and I'd say at worst it's uneven, not weak. Some great episodes and some stinkers but overall fine.

Hoo boy that "jaunty" version of the Enterprise theme song starting in Season 3.  If they wanted to retool the show they should have just admitted they hosed up and gone to an instrumental theme.

The Adversary? Right but also they start the season off by bringing in the Defiant and everything, and then they mostly are recycling the same kind of episodes they were doing in seasons 1 and 2. Not so much looking at it episode by episode (although it is spotty) as much as it's just feels even more uncertain about where it wants to go than even S1 and S2.

I think S2's probably overall weaker - it's got a bunch of episodes like "Second Sight", "Rivals" and "Playing God" that just feel weirdly half-baked, with stories that don't really go anywhere, and it doesn't have as many high points to balance them out, whereas S3 has a bunch of really good stories like "Improbable Cause". On the other hand, S2 has a much stronger opening, while S3's "The Search" has a total cop-out of an ending.

Angry Salami posted:S3's "The Search" has a total cop-out of an ending. It's not great but explains why the Dominion is not just a constant threat and steamrolling over the universe, after "The JemHadar" showed that they can blow up the Federation's biggest projection of power with relatively few losses, and Search pt2's entire point is that total diplomacy isn't possible.

DS9: S2E11 "Rivals" Why do the monks need money to buy blankets? Couldn't you replicate a new blanket every day of the week Also, does the name Deep Space 9 make any sense before they move it to the wormhole, where it actually is in deep space? They should have called Starbase 247 or something and it gets renamed at the end. Edit:247 is already in use but it's only an example.

Beachcomber posted:DS9: S2E11 "Rivals" Bajor was hosed hard after the occupation. It's implied that a lot of the planet doesn't have basic services for the first season or two, so no power to run any replicators the Cardassians left behind.

It might've been a bit of a retcon, but Deep Space means a starbase on the border of or outside of Federation territory. It's like how exploration missions like the Enterprises do are called Deep Space assignments. Presumably Deep Space Nine would've been renamed to Starbase after Bajor joins the Federation.

I've come to realize that, at least on the Federation side of things, the ship designs in DISCO add probably as much as First Contact to the lexicon of ship designs, even though it's mostly covered up by by the ugly detailing and sizing. edit- although apparently the Buran was just an STO design and the Hernandez was in a comic...so I might be over-stating things! I guess the Mcgee and Gagarin count for something. Fidel Cuckstro fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Mar 31, 2020 |

Oh way more. There were four new ships in First Contact, there are about ten new ships in Battle of the Binary Stars alone. They just cranked out a shitton of mediocre background designs. And then there's a few others that crop up along the seasons, and then if you count them I think there's three or four Section 31 ship variants... I don't think the Buran was from STO, I think there was just a similar design in there. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Mar 31, 2020 |

Discovery isn’t exactly high art, but it does have a sort of goofy heart to it. And when it goes off the rails, it’s at least interesting. I can’t say the same for Picard.
