This show has already done the clip episode thing. It was one of the better S1 episodes. e: and they did it again this season with the training pod episode. That's basically what those were.

blastron posted:I can't wait for fifteen years from now when people stop complaining that Discovery isn't "Trek", as has happened to literally every other show in the series that people didn't like or, to be real, as has happened to literally every other installment in a media franchise that people didn't like. I am sorry, I even broke my slumberish read of last thousand posts since I've been here, so irritated I am and willing to ask. Which "other show in the series" literally hosed up with writing, continuity, reimagining known races, relied on the first and most iconic character (from other show!!!111one), rewrote canon, then again, and again, dropped famous OST cues in favour of generic tik-tok beat and had the show center around a crying mary sue with penchant for drama? And hell, lasted for 3+ seasons? Erulisse fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Oct 17, 2021 |

Hyrax Attack! posted:It felt like the characters calmed down a bit and Mariner went from being at a perpetual 10 to maybe an 8 or 9, plus Tendi and Rutherford are great. It feels like Mariner and Boimler hit a turning point around the Kirk bar thing. That episode did a lot for both of their characters. Hell Mariner's kind of matured from open rebellion to bending the rules (mostly) for the sake of the mission which is a big change. I think Boihmler's rubbed off on her and he's gained some of her confidence.

The series that seems to be in your head doesn’t match the one that actually exists, friend. Perhaps you might want to rewatch it? Most Trek is better on a rewatch, anyway.

CharlestheHammer posted:No that’s a pretty accurate if somewhat over dramatic description of discover The dramatization is the entire point. People massively over-exaggerate a series’s flaws, take that to be fact, and then declare it to be terrible based on those exaggerations. If you don’t like something? Fine. But dislike it on its own demerits, not the ones you tell yourself it has to justify how much you hate it. e: Didn’t we just have the discussion where someone was all “Discovery thinks dilithium is fuel, way to ignore the canon you lazy hacks” and then we went over, with sources, how they were wrong, and had exaggerated their own misunderstanding to justify their presupposed belief that the writers don’t pay attention to continuity? blastron fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Oct 17, 2021 |

I meant the over dramatic part was the way it was posted, like he was mad, nothing to do with the content. It’s a bad TV show it’s not that deep I guess calling the music tic tok quality is debateable but honestly that is a pretty minor quibble

No we just had the discussion where someone was all Dilithium isn't Warp Gas and then we had several pages of discussion about how yes, that's true there are actually lots of ways to go to warp You may be remembering the multitude of people so excited to correct the record by pointing out that, yes Dilithium is a consumable resource, that they skipped ahead to post it even though several people already had, and even though that wasn't really the initial point

Finally got around to the finale. How is Lower Decks so good. How does it keep getting better? Also that John Eaves-esgue Excelsior class ship was probably one the best modern Trek ship designs. I love it!.

Lower Decks is good. It's nice to have new Star Trek to look forward to. Less good that it's gone for a year.

Grand Fromage posted:Lower Decks is good. It's nice to have new Star Trek to look forward to. Less good that it's gone for a year. Yeah this is where the 10 episode seasons really hurt. With a 22 episode season you get half a year of content. The longest wait was about 4 months, because those 22 episodes weren't always all in a row, sometimes there wasn't an episode for 2 or 3 weeks (specials, playoffs, etc.) Now it's 2 months of content followed by 10 months of waiting.

MikeJF posted:There's a whole thing where Majel recorded a bunch of sounds but sounds do not a voice simulator make and it's extremely complex or we'd see a lot more deepVoicing around, also there may be money issues. I was just thinking they were going to snip the audio out of the TNG previously on. To my recollection, the team that did the Android voice interface had a working prototype of this in the early days, (they really wanted to respond to "Computer" in the canonical voice) but it never made it to production due to inability to hammer out a reasonable licensing deal with the rights holders. I was later shocked when Verizon did "Droid", but apparently Lucasfilm has very reasonable rates (at least vs the marketing & advertising budgets of major cellular carriers) for licensing Star Wars related names, art, etc...

Gravitas Shortfall posted:A clip show of episodes that don't exist It's compressed, but Rutherford's memories that flash past as he's purging redundant copies has a bit of that...   Related: Venture Bros features an episode (Escape to the House of Mummies Part II) that is a Part II for a Part I that does not exist.

Yeah but like most things Voyager you were busy being assaulted by unlikable characters so much you couldn't understand the plot. This is better than discovery which has 1 unlikable character and the rest just background characters saying rhubarb over and over to prevent them from being paid speaking actor rates

FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah I didn’t know until years later that in the show bible they talk about how they want to avoid TOS stuff. To the point where they don’t even want to show Vulcans on the ship. I don’t believe you see any Vulcans until after Roddenberry died. Nah, I think there's at least one background Vulcan in Farpoint, plus there's Dr. Selar in second season's The Schizoid Man, plus Sarek and his attendant Vulcan assistant in third season's Sarek.

Spock cast a long shadow. It makes sense to have minimized vulcans for a while and get some other stuff happening with the bridge crew than just Spock2.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:A clip show of episodes that don't exist The best one of these is the Warehouse 13 finale. They wrapped up the main story one episode early, so they could goof off with the last having everyone show their favourite/defining moments as a Warehouse Agent. All of them events that never actually occurred during the series, and are just fun little vignettes for their own sake. Including an amazing tap-dance musical number  .42nd STREEEEET!

This all boils down to "Theres no spock it aint a trek!", whilst DIS has every other notion of trek, just poo poo. Hell, even Seth McF's fan trek is more trek. And Orville is even more. Even Picard, for how shite it is, is closer to trek than DIS.

I love how Rutherford's image is more realistic as a drawing even outside the show, meanwhile Tendi's is more cartoonish with the real deal being in-between. Just a nice touch
