bollig posted:Well a lot of my friends really liked season 3 of Discovery. But in retrospect they were all people who say Voyager is their favorite series, but generally speaking I thought it would be fun to like watch a Star Trek series week-to-week, something I've never done. And then when it's off the air, go back to TNG. She actually doesn't mind it all things considered and she's sort of like me in that we're both write/have written for a living so we can bitch about the dialogue and about how on-the-nose everything is. It's something inoffensive that we can put on in the background and barely pay attention to. Did you meet your friends at a TBI support group?

Applewhite posted:Discovery is really terrible and not even interesting enough to watch ironically. Personally I feel like you’re wasting your time. TNG is corny and dumb but at the end of all but a handful of episodes you’re left with a good feeling, like things will all turn out right in the end. real talk time they were both saying, independantly that there were episodes in the 3rd season that were 'some of the best television that they have ever watched'. What sort of lense should I view this through?

Season 3 is better than the previous 2. Also season 1 is better than season 2. Much better. Like if you're having trouble with season 1 just lol when you get to season 2. Why not just skip to season three? I could summarize in like, a single sentence what you'd need to know going into S3.

8472 must have evolved inside a shell world. Gravity must be somehow inverted, though how would that work at all? Their ships have gaseous atmospheres rather than fluid. Trying to get a ship to fly fast through fluid must be a massive ballache.

You can post Picard / Discovery episode plots without context and you can probably pass them off as Dr Who ones (and vice versa)

Trying to get a ship to fly fast through fluid must be a massive ballache. The fluid on fluidic space has mass. So if there was a shell world, the pull of gravity would be towards the outside as there is far more mass in that direction than in the bubble of atmosphere

What sort of lense should I view this through? The lens of the type of basic-rear end loser who thinks Batman: Dark Knight is deep and philosophical. Without even watching the episodes or hearing their synopses I can tell you they do not rank among the "best television" nor even "good television."

All that money, years later and the show still looks like trash. Absolutely incredible. E: I know people who enjoy the show but the only person I can think of who says it's actually well produced and written is also the most emotionally stunted individual I can think of and I don't think that's a coincidence at this point

Trying to get a ship to fly fast through fluid must be a massive ballache. They may not have evolved at all. A pocket universe that contains exactly one species. They could be a long forgotten science experiment. A high tech version of those sealed bottle terrariums. We don't wonder how bacteria managed to evolve in a petri dish. They didn't.

I have a Star Trek 30th anniversary CD. It has several scores from the 4 shows that existed at the time, and it was one of those high tech “enhanced CDs” where putting it into the computer installed bullshit that let you play a Borg shooting flash game and contained a super low resolution version of the First Contact trailer.

Yeah. I stopped to eat dinner, so I've still got like 15 minutes of the second episode left. But it's extremely fun. Tom's not quite passing as a 20th century person is excellent. Or maybe I should call it "groovy" lmao.

I would love if they just had to have awkward expository dialogue each episode. The first line of every episode starting with “ever since we were trapped in the 20th century after a rogue time cop went nuts and attacked us...”

I just finished TNG and started DS9 and boy the drop from remastered film to just straight video release is significant. Also makes it evident what a wonderful job they did with TNG remaster.
