We've been watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and I'm having two reactions:1. Ooh, this must be how people watching TOS felt! đ2. OH NO THEY'RE ALL HOT đł pic.twitter.com/JyQ7DQ2Z2i— Just Very Fucking tired, Man (@jvfriedman) July 10, 2022

LOL Leee. I agree some parts of Disco were terrible, dont worry. The whole Klingon storyline/first season. All the sighing and crying and gnashing of teeth and talking when the World is Ending.
But eh its still fun. Meanwhile I'm watching DS9 with reasonable enjoyment but bitten tounge due to all the BLATANT B5 THEFT mutter.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 11 July 2022 01:17 (one year ago) link
this guy apparently fucking *hates* the show, which is semi-reasonable up until he both praises disco/picard in comparison and also concludes that nothing in this scenario can possibly be new, and therefore the attempt itself is offensive

OK I'll bite, but JMS himself has said that he doesn't believe that DS9 ripped off B5, and they're tonally pretty distinct.

3 mins into the first ep and im here to say i did not expect to be ambushed by the wait-that-can't-be of combination long hair with a centre parting and a federation uniform
why do i think this, i have no idea

Is it because you associate that hairstyle with the OPA? (Guessing you're talking about not-Drummer.)
― Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Thursday, 4 August 2022 19:40 (one year ago) link
maybe, i don't know! i will have to think abt it

Yes please!

Carol Kane! Love it.
Finally got round to watching the season finale â enjoyed it but I hadnât seen âBalance of Terrorâ, so a lot of the cheesy references from TOS went over my head and just seemed, well, cheesy.
Love this show; the only disappointment was how quickly the storyline with the doctorâs daughter got resolved â I was expecting something more epic several seasons down the line.

Per this post, season 2 back mid-June, and already renewed for season 3 too.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 23:27 (one year ago) link
Buried at the end of that story was the fact that Discovery was ending with S5, which is news to me! Can't say I'm heartbroken but I did feel the tiniest twinge of some kind of human emotion.

Disco news has been out there for a few weeks now, scuttlebutt is that it's a cost cutting move.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:02 (one year ago) link
Also Disco's set up in such a way that nothing's stopping it from dribbling on forever really (as it wont break any canon) so they might as well wind it up or it'll Simpsonsify.

Carol Kane better be a regular

She's the new engineer so I'm rather guessing yes.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 April 2023 17:26 (one year ago) link
Guess that means #1 doesn't stay in prison long.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 19 April 2023 22:07 (one year ago) link
absolutely psyched - still canât believe they worked out how to make a good star trek - esp from this least vibey of premises - all praise to Nu-Pike for being charismatic enough to hang a TV show around
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Wednesday, 19 April 2023 23:02 (one year ago) link
Pretty stoked for this - I really tried and like 1/2 of Disco, but Strange New Worlds first season was some fun sci fi/ Star Trek canon.

Hijinks! Lower Decks! Etc.

I'm not saying it's not true, but I do love an actor saying "what I'm hearing from the fans is they want more of my character!"
― trishyb, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 07:35 (one year ago) link
Ha yeah that was great - and then the next shot is just âOrtegas does tricky manoeuvreâ which feels like the most stock and one-dimensional thing to see that character doing - but maybe we all just wanna see her doing it more! Like, just a bigger section of the SNW pie-chart is that! I donât care I love this show and am psyched to have it BACK
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Wednesday, 14 June 2023 08:10 (one year ago) link
I'm most looking forward to the Lower Decks crossover.
― Cashews Everything Around Me (Leee), Wednesday, 14 June 2023 20:57 (one year ago) link
I think of this as the Pike N Spock show but that video reminded me how great the rest of the cast is. Hope they bring back the space pirate, and maybe Bruce Horak in another role!
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 21:44 (one year ago) link
I remain surprised that they resolved the issue with the Doctorâs daughter so quickly though! Seemed like they couldâve done more with that.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 21:48 (one year ago) link
Okay we are off and running! Good start there.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 June 2023 23:37 (one year ago) link
good lord, you start early!

This is actually later in the day than last time now that I'm doing the middle of the day at work! Last year I watched episodes at lunch at home.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 June 2023 23:48 (one year ago) link
hah, I was also a regular Star Trek viewer over lunch the last couple years. imo any time after the episode drops is fair game, buyer beware when clicking on threads
I apparently switched how I subscribed to Paramount between last season and this one and made it fifteen minutes into s01e01 before thinking âoh, I know why this seems familiarâ
itâs been a long week

great, now there's two characters I need subtitles to understand

re: subtitlesfor some reason the German dub hit the free streaming sites first, and those German synchers really enunciate everything -- too bad I don't know German...

Bold move to have an almost Pike-free season premiere

interesting that weâre back to the earlier klingon look
― mookieproof, Friday, 16 June 2023 18:54 (one year ago) link
i have a dumb questioni didnât really get the exchange btw Chapel & the Doctor before they take the serum - she kept being like, are you sure you want to do this you donât have to do this etc etc what did i miss/not remember about doctorâs backstory? i know he said he READ a lot about wars and stuff but i think i missed a key thing somewhere in s1 maybe
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 16 June 2023 19:50 (one year ago) link
I assumed it was a secret past weâll find out more about this season. He was Starfleet John Wick and retired to save lives instead or something.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Friday, 16 June 2023 19:55 (one year ago) link
he mentioned being on a certain moon during the klingon war, where he was seemingly the only person (or at least human) to survive
