Especially the different concept ships like the Excelsior concepts and the proposed NX-01 refit concept that would have been used if Enterprise hadn't been cancelled Yeah, they've got a whole running sub set that's basically "weird poo poo that never made it past the concept phase" like the original Voyager prototype, the Phase II Enterprise, the Andrew Probert Enterprise-C concept, some of the unused TOS shuttle designs, and on and on.

Oh wait I read that backwards. I thought it would be midnight after it aired. Hmm. I’ll have to check tomorrow morning. Would still be more fun to TV-IV it but now that I think about it not sure what that does to commercials etc. Might just watch it and come to complain in spoiler tags.

The Bloop posted:What the hell is Crave? Is this It's a Canadian online streaming service similar to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, ect. It also has an actual broadcast channel arm on many cable providers which airs first-run home video release movies. Generally speaking, if you have a modern cable package in Canada a Crave subscription comes bundled in it by default. Modern Trek episodes get uploaded on Crave around the same time they go online on CBS All Access or Amazon Prime, namely after midnight on the day they premiere on Canada's sci-fi broadcast network, CTV Sci-Fi. It's a rare example of Canada not getting turbofucked in the realm of access to content that the rest of the world normally also gets.

So I enjoyed it. It was a little too fast and dense with the jokes. Hopefully like Orville it suffered from that first episode thing where it tried too hard. Pretty fun and I genuinely laughed at some of it. Animation looked great too.

The biggest laugh it got out of me was in the opening, when the Romulans are all fighting the Borg and the Cerritas comes across it and is like.... nah, I'm out. The worst part was honestly all the name dropping at the end. There's zero reason anyone should be dropping ToS and TNG names in-canon like that, especially when they just gave a speech about how officers are all lame.

Well. I will say that I at least liked the title sequence.  It's a weird mix of "I'm probably not the target audience for this" when they start explaining the uniform division colors and "omg what is this HOLODECK thing?!" for people who have somehow never been exposed to any sort of cultural osmosis, and "here's a poo poo-ton of really obscure 'Cetacean Ops' style references for the hardcore Trek fans out there who are, for some reason, watching this show and probably getting mad about it." I guess... I just don't know who this show is supposed to be for? I found myself sorta grinning a bit at some of the humor. If they just dialled it back a bit, it'd be a lot more palatable, but I guess they feel a need to come out of the gate swinging with a whole bunch of unfunny bullshit (like Commander Chestbump).

Well that was extremely mediocre. Reminded me of revived Futurama (or Disenchantment). It felt like they'd somehow exhausted the premise before they even started. Or possibly that rather than someone having funny ideas for a show and getting to make it on the strength of those ideas, some people were told "do a Star Trek but funny" and then had to come up with something without breaking a huge list of rules laid down by the IP owners. I didn't have high expectations for it, but this show still disappointed me. It wasn't terrible and could easily have been worse, but unless it improves dramatically after episode one it doesn't really seem like there's any reason for it to exist. Because so far it's not good at being Star Trek and it's also not good at being comedy.

Drone posted:Well. I'm definitely getting the "i'm probably not the target audience" feeling from this episode alone, but that said I still really enjoyed it. It has the same problem I was worried about with the mile-a-minute zany jokes and cuts from when I compared it to what I remember of Final Space, but definitely not as much so I was able to give it a pass. I was worried I wouldn't like the characters but so far they all seem fine. I mean the lower decks guys. The command staff are really ehh, and up until end where we get the whole ohh she's her mom I was trying to figure out what the Captain's deal was. I think the cyborg dude is going to be a lot of fun to wrap jokes around, I just hope they can deliver other jokes that aren't the "ha ha he's interested in this other thing where normal people would be kissing" type of schtick. The comparison to Futurama's first episode felt really apt actually. It felt like they needed to establish so much in such a limited amount of time that it didn't do a good job of pacing for the most part, and I say that as someone who is a Futurama superfan. I distinctly remember feeling underwhelmed when I watched it, after being so hyped up. I came into this with a lot less hype and it actually felt about what I expected so my comfort with the material is probably fine. Hopefully it follows Futurama's line where it basically got great after 3 or 4 episodes and (IMO) didn't have a miss until after first cancellation. And honestly, as dumb as it sounds I just want to vibe about how awesome it is to get back to a TNG style ship with TNG type uniforms instead of NuTrek dark brooding submarine lighting blue corridors and lens flares. This kind of felt like coming home. It'll be why I keep watching this, if for no other reason. I'm on board with what they're selling, if they can keep refining the formula I'll put up with the zany joke cuts and enjoy the hell out of it. I would easily rather watch this than Disco. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Aug 6, 2020 |

Yeah, I was a bit eh on this episode but I'd much rather watch it than any other of the current series and what i did feel eh about, a lot of it was very obviously because this was such a setup-the-series-and-we're-still-awkward episode. That'll probably stay that way for the next few but I really feel like this might have the potential to be actually quite good once they get past that. And god yeah the TNG design aesthetic was just nice to soak in.

Now that I've had time to digest it a bit, I will say that: warts and all, it was also drat refreshing to have a single, self-contained episode of Star Trek again. Even if they really sorta warped the idea of what Star Trek is to the breaking point a little bit, the basic structure of a mediocre TNG episode was all still there and very familiar-feeling.

That was far better than I ever expected. Far more fun than a season of Picard. TNG design elements are timeless and it's insane they've been abandoned in the live-action show.

How is it that Star Wars gets animated TV series which are often MORE mature in their politics and world building than even the movies while Star Trek of all properties gets a "PICKLE KIRKKKKKKK!" style animation series?

Iconic, sure. But timeless? I enjoy it and would love to see a natural evolution of it, but TNG has a very dated 90s aesthetic.

I don't think a funny cartoon is a bad thing. I'm kind of tired of SERIOUS Trek with all the current offerings so tbh PICKLE KIRK is up my alley right now.

I do agree this episode specifically felt very Pilot Episode-ish (which obviously makes sense). The bones are there for something solid, they just need to tone it down a smidge. The preview for the next episodes at the end definitely looks more promising than the trailers based off this first episode.
