Hayden Christensen was outstanding in Shattered Glass. Dude's not a bad actor. It's just that, as has been said, George Lucas isn't exactly the world's greatest screenwriter and director. Very talented guy in so many areas, brilliant even, but hiring Irvin Kershner to direct TESB (and Lawrence Kasdan to do the screenplay) was the best idea of his entire career. Same for Richard Marquand directing ROTJ. There are moments in ROTS where you can almost see what could have been, but it was ultimately farted up by Lucas surrounding himself by people absolutely terrified to tell him "No." or "Maybe we do it this way." Like a sort of nerd Stalin.

Doug Jones as Saru is the one consistently good thing about Discovery. And Michelle Yeoh hamming it up as Empress Georgiou.

Knormal posted:Look, space water tastes funny, okay? It's Class-M water or nothin'. This looks like something that would be crudely spray-painted on the side of a carnival ride at a state or county fair in 1997. Like a Gravitron or a Tilt A Whirl.

Geordi’s liver has been replaced with Trilithium, and he explodes, taking out Worf, Crusher and Troi. Riker’s face is severely burnt, and Picard has to hop into his dune buggy to chase down the antagonist while the Nickelodeon Guts theme plays in the style of Jerry Goldsmith.

2 to 1 odds that the big arching story of season 1 of Starfleet Academy is that one of the cadets stumbles upon a conspiracy within Starfleet to (insert rehashed evil Admiral(s) story here). It can't just be some neat story about young people going to Space College and experiencing college things but with sci-fi plot devices. It's gotta involve some planet getting destroyed by a superweapon and the season finale will be the motley group of untested students banding together to save the day. And also one of them will die terribly and provide a Phil Coulson-esque morale boost to the rest of them.

What a Starfleet Academy show set in the 31st century should feature: A prank in which the gravity is turned off in the cafeteria, prompting a zero-G food fight. Maybe a sideplot or two featuring characters who are apprehensive about joining Starfleet after Starfleet was a non-factor for centuries after the Dilithium Rapture. Maybe new alien races who have recently joined the Federation becoming the first of their kind to join Starfleet and the various fish out of water scenarios that can be explored as a result. What a Starfleet Academy show set in the 31st century will probably feature: A whole shuttlecraft full of students being exploded by a Magnetar. The Federation President being melted somehow while giving a speech. Boothby XXII being a triple agent for the Breen Confederacy (and shooting a quantum laser rocket at someone). Some militant offshoot of a long-forgotten species will appear and melt some capitol city like Rome or Paris or Gary, Indiana. Elements of Starfleet will be in league with said long-forgotten species and they will justify it by explaining that times are tough since the status quo has been re-established and that the Federation has become soft again blah blah blah.

Angry Salami posted:Modern Trek's actually been pretty good about avoiding the evil admiral cliche. It's something that I was really pleased about with Discovery, that Future Starfleet didn't have some deep dark secret, and Admiral Vance, the President, and Cronenberg were all on the up-and-up. This is true, and I don't disagree with you, but you have to assume that the writers were contorting themselves every which way to avoid falling into that story trap. Every atom in their bodies wanted to do it, and it took obscene self control to NOT do that. The whole writer's room was probably just people covered in cold flop sweats and stifiling screams because of how painful it must've been to not do "Evil Admirals: Version 20". I fear that the Starfleet Academy show won't be so lucky. But I hope i'm wrong!

The Brethren Moons also cracked planets open and were much cooler. Dead Space 3 was bausra but i’d sure love a Dead Space 4. 3 ended on quite the cliffhanger.
