The other excellent summary I know of is from Tumblr

quote:

tng: welcome aboard the starship enterprise, a luxury cruise ship drifting among the stars. our crew contains notable elements of Diversity and our captain gets pegged by an omniscient being from another dimension. enjoy the soft jazz concerts, shakespeare performances, and infinitely powerful holodecks at your leisure

ds9: hop aboard Station On Fire Trash Can bitch. does our poo poo work? no. is this a safe place to live? gently caress no. senior officers include Space Dad, Lesbian Terrorist, Trans Worm, Goo, Dr. Twink, and Perpetually Confused White Guy. if you want to get dragged into an elaborate crime syndicate, contract a deadly space disease, or get stabbed in a barfight, you’ve come to the right place. also, holosuites are for loving. yeehaw

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Please allow the Lower Decks showrunner to face Alex Kurtzman in a Klingon bridge battle to detmine the owner of the franchise.

Voq/Ash Tyler frozen in ice for however long would work so much better on Lower Decks than he ever did on Discovery. Treating his backstory as a series of escalating nonsensical gags would make much more sense than the dramatic reveals.

I'm 100% convinced that the Cerritos people could make a serious star trek better than Kurtzman as well. Like, it doesn't have to be whacky hijinks. It could and should be sure, but they could do anything better than him.

I don’t have much hope for Picard, but it would be neat to see a reference to the Cerritos crew at some point. Maybe a bearded Jack Quaid in a captain’s uniform has a passing line of dialogue somewhere.

Yeah but would anyone in the show comment on how he’s animated, or in the future would that be considered rude?

we watched the ds9 ep where the cardassians kidnap kira and give her a cardassian makeover. then they try to convince both her and a cardassian leader with a missing daughter that she's the missing daughter so that the leader will help her escape (she doesn't believe she's the daughter) the obsidian order and the order can then arrest and execute him.

by the end of the episode of course everything is back to normal, but _that_ is how you do a now-im-human-now-im-not plotline. fuckin ash tyler orklingon BS *grumble grumble*

Oh god this episode has one of my favourite DS9 moments, where Sisko biffs a bag into the room as they barge in, and the cardassians are too distracted by his gun to notice the bag is actually Odo who gets up kicks their asses. It's such a simple but galaxy brain trick, like getting past a locked security door by knocking :allears:

Perhaps someone could call him "animated" in the sense of "boisterous".

Hell, just toss a Cali in the background somewhere.

The season 2 model's detailed enough you could just give it a retexture and it'd hold up at medium distance in a realistic show.

Drop the cell shading, put in a bump map for slightly dented metal, medium distance, low light with short enough cut and no-one suspects anything.

Bezos, standing on a mountaintop as the flaming wreckage of his space ship burns through the atmosphere:

My God, what have I done?

What you always do, turn death into a profit. Look at these ratings!

Feral cats could make a better Star Trek than Kurtzman. The only reason Lower Decks is good is because Kurtzman has nothing to do with it because it's not prestige enough.

If we're real lucky, Strange New Worlds might turn out good because he's too busy focusing on Discovery to gently caress it over the same way.

been rewatching season 1 of enterprise and it's really not as bad as I remember. Bacula is pretty one-note in his delivery, which to be honest, makes things pretty entertaining as he is easy to imitate for laughs. Hoshi gets way more lines than I remember and she even gets to have a really nice fling with this dude who speaks Esperanto or whatever. The guest stars are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the better episodes, especially Jeffrey Combs, but in lieu of that Trip holds up many of the scenes on his own just by being a hilarious immature George W Bush stand-in. Joelene Blaelock does the "im better than this and all you humans kinda suck" thing way better than seven, who herself always felt a little bit like a child stuck in an adult's body. T'pol doesn't really have that issue.

Also, the backing music is way better than whatever was going on in Voyager and the special effects are way better than any previous Star Trek.

it's a good show
