it's really cool how timmy went on a holodeck and found out about 21st century advertising and loves to drop slogans and product integrations as he goes about his day SPOCK: The creatures are breaching our network, Captain! TIMMY: You knooooooow, Captain, that wouldn't happen if you had NordVPN. Did you know they were invented in the 21st century? Back then, you could use the coupon code TIMMY to get 50% off their first three years! SPOCK: Of course, network isolation. That would logically prevent them from accessing our systems. I'll install an isolator right now. TIMMY: That's the power of maths! Nordvpn dot com! Coupon code TIMMY.

Next week on a very special episode of Timmy and Friends: Strange New Worlds, the crew confront Timmy after he develops an addiction to alcohol brought on by Timmy adorably stumbling upon a crate of Romulan ale when he was adventurin' in Cargo Bay 2. Also, the episode retcons why Romulan ale became illegal in the Federation. Brought to you by Budweiser Classic.

New SNW was good. Cool alien/aliens vibes. Fun action scenes. I hated they killed off the andorian he was cool, but its good they can kill off characters so everyone doesn't have plot armour. I still don't understand what he died for.. Hope they do that more often and rotate through new faces and characters and keep the plot fresh.

New SNW was indeed quite good loving RIP Hemmer though. That character was great. I wonder if the actor wanted out or something

It is now clear the order currently is: Lower decks > prodigy / SNW ............ > Disc / Picard Honestly Discovery and Picard should end, these others are amazing, but SNW should become the live action standard or something else but a new concept

prodigy is a fine kids cartoon but snw is better imo. and i still like a good bit of discovery, whereas all of picard is hot garbage. i can't imagine discovery lasting another year or two. i'm still waiting for a far-future starfleet timeship series anyway i like nurse chapel a lot. i like that they gave her a research phd in genetics or whatever so she still gets to be a kick-rear end expert.

Lascivious Sloth posted:It is now clear the order currently is: Well at least Picard is. Still no word as far as I can tell on what's going to replace it. I'm assuming they're indecisive about it at the moment as if they're looking for it to replace Picard in a year and half time(?) they'd want to be going into preproduction now'ish you'd think. Really hoping they don't actually do the section 31 thing. Honestly Michael Dorn's idea of Wolf being an elderly states-person trying to change the Klingon empire as it's collapsing due to the shittiness of government, and it's self destructive warrior ideology actually sounds like it could make for an interesting 2 season thing. Was never the biggest fan of a lot of the Klingon plot lines -although DS9 had some good ones near the end. Gowron  .- but that actually sounds like a really interesting premises. Also would 100% watch a Star Trek:Law and order, or Star Trek: E.R. mediaphage posted:prodigy is a fine kids cartoon but snw is better imo. Yeah pretty much. Prodigy does what it does very well -having Janeway be the captain was a brilliant idea, Kate Mulgrew's awesome-, and always good to see Kids tv that doesn't suck, but can't get into it, so SNW is way better IMO. Really like Lower decks but I'd put SNW above that as well. But yeah who cares about the exact order, both are great in their very different ways. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Jul 1, 2022 |

SNW has not had a bad episode yet and it sucks that we don't get 22 episodes of it. However they're already working on Season 2 so thats exciting.

I think the next seasons of Picard and Discovery are both the last ones, so maybe they'll hit us with some new poo poo. Comedy option, Khan's Soul Train, or How You Keep Thirty Six Extremely Sweaty and Stylish Augments Entertained on a Desert Planet for 20 Years

Glad they gave Hemmer a solid episode to shine the week before. He had potential. It means the writers can come up with interesting characters but this was a good one that could’ve had some mileage.

yeah, chapel is the best one, now. exactly what you want from a civilian specialist on a starfleet ship. everyone else on the ship is having some kind of personal crisis, the drama of almost all of them being made totally irrelevant by their prewritten TOS destinies that we all known about, but Chapel can mostly just do her thang, which is pretty much whatever the gently caress she likes, because she's smart enough to be on the Enterprise and antisocial/establishment enough not join Starfleet.

Speaking of aliens, the blue guy Buckley was really impressive. They need more aliens in the crew now that it's possible on a TV budget, a la Arex from TAS.

I don't think it's budget holding them back from having a lot of aliens in the cast. DS9's cast was mostly aliens, and it's the least popular show with casual audiences. I think the amount of weird looking people on every week had something to do with it. People turn off when something looks like that, although having one or two weird aliens is at a level where that can be a charasmatic novelty. Obviously there were other factors in why DS9 hasn't had the casual staying power of other shows, but there can be more than one reason.

That’s why I dislike having so many TOS characters in SNW. Every backstory doesn’t have to be filled. New characters can mean new directions like… Hemmer 🫤. Why does Chapel and Uhura and Sam Kirk (?) have to be hanging at the same place they’ll be hanging out 30 years later? And I like the casting. At least we got a heroic red shirt death in this episode.

The Marvel universe has ruined my reaction to dramatic character moments. "Naw, he's fine. They'll save him at the last minute. See! He likes the cold but the Gorn don't, so he'll outlast them. Nevermind the chest-bursting bit... He'll engineer a fix. Right? Right..." And so on and so on. Anyway, this episode was a nice way to have a one-off plot that carries consequences. If this were Picard it would have been four episodes, including one that was completely in La'an's flashback.

HD DAD posted:Lol they’re almost done with Season 2. They started filming it months before the series even premiered. They are stupidly ahead of schedule for Modern Trek. So how does series renewal work now? In ancient times, networks would order new seasons when ratings (and ad revenue) said it would be profitable. Discovery, SNW, etc. get renewed right at premiere, it seems. Do studio heads have such faith in their unaired shows or is something else going on?

Automatic Slim posted:So how does series renewal work now? I think it’s super variable these days, but I think it could be a few things. 1. They’re doing the thing where they order one 20 episode “season”, and that’s split into two over the course of a few years. 2. Kurtzman has been given a budget with carte blanche, and he feels super confident in the show. 3. Paramount were very impressed with what they saw internally for S1, and gave the go-ahead for another on its own merit. Keep in mind this show partially exists because of fan outcry, so they knew there was at least going to be a built-in audience. I’m sure that played into it as well.

Chapel is probably going to transition into the McCoy role from TOS because Mebenga is boring and she almost literally steals the camera whenever she's in frame. A lot of the SNW demo is going to find her very attractive, and she's already established herself as the best actor on the show. What I am hoping actually happens is that they continue the current formula where screentime/episodes are being divided amongst the cast more evenly, and it doesn't turn into a Pike/Chapel/  wankfest.
