Video New Star Trek deserves its own thread (Not really)

[Valve1138]

agreed. if it's good I'll pay for it to encourage them to make more seasons

if it's mediocre then I doubt I'll keep the service beyond the first month

They've already made their money back on it through international licensing. Subscriptions will have dick to do with a second season.

star trek was always driven by characters and personality. you got to know the crew as if they were real.

I hope that is the case, rather than ooh-shiney and bang bang bang.

YOu mean like the Abrams lense flare shitshow?

Yeah, not interested in that.

kirk and spock were ok. uhura and bones and chekov were fairly forgetable, although likeable.

Im a TNG fan, and i feel like every bridge character is developed extremely well.

And then there's DS9, where minor characters had more developed stories than some main characters on TNG, VOY, and ENT.

I plan to watch DS9 after im done with TNG

from what I understand that's going to be the case. there's going to be shiney and bang bang just like there was in TOS and most of the spinoffs but hopefully it's the flavoring on top of deep character studies and powerful allegories to our current world

wait. The first officer is named Michael Burnham, and is a chick?

Is this some sort of "gender is a social construct" thing?

doubtful, bryan fuller had a habit of naming female leads in his shows with male or tomboyish names.

I think it's more of an example of how language changes. Leslie used to be exclusively a male name, for example

First couple seasons are slow. Then he shaves the head and grows the goatee.

 

[my little brony]

quality of TNG, DS9, and Voyager are entirely based on hair

TNG was hard to watch until Riker grew the beard, DS9 was as boring as the theme song until Sisko shaved his head, and Voyager was just recycled TNG scripts until Janeway got rid of the bun

you know, i found that "growing the beard" is actually a legimate term for when a show gets awesome.

Taken from when riker grew his, but also ds9.

Its the opposite of jumping the shark.

You're mistaking "like" for "envy", because we're all familiar with how you'd like to do Hannibal.
