Retro Red Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Yep, it almost makes up for them cancelling The Tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 11, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2019 I've been cracking back through Enterprise on Netflix. Business really picks up during series 3.I love how during the Borg episode in series 2 they never explicitly use the word "Borg" so it doesn't ruin continuity too much. It's a shame they didn't get the Romulan War arc in for series 5 due to the show getting cancelled, but imagine how much better Discovery could have been if Braga & Berman had been involved in it. Their loss is The Orville's gain, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Fuck yes. Â My hopes weren't high at all after the terrible Discovery series but that trailer has just so much to make my winky tingly. If they can just avoid trying to make it all Hollywood and get back to the sense of right and wrong, and cameraderie that was hallmark of the original series plural....

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 10, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2019 I made it through all of Enterprise. I really enjoyed the Xindi arc in the third series. Some of the multi-parts episodes in series 4 were good. James Avery as a Klingon was wonderful and Peter Weller in that last 2-parter was a great choice. That last episode was really poorly executed. Troi's accent was all over the place, although you could tell Frakes was having a great time giving Riker another run out, especially as the chef. Shame they didn't get another series as doing more Romulan/Vulcan stuff could have been so interesting. I'm now probably going to try and get BoJack Horseman watched and then get cracking on DS9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) I started watching RLM's video on the Picard trailer and fuck me are Rich and Mike insufferable pricks when it comes to Star Trek (and wars). I think I'll stick to watching Jay gush over art-house cinema like a giddy child and skip anything sci-fi related on that channel. I really enjoyed Discovery once it found it's feet after the lukewarm first season, yeah it's different to the usual but so was DS9 and that's by far my fav series. One thing about DS9 which gets a sad little chuckle out of me is seeing pissbabies crying all these years later when someone dares to say that the show was in any way "progressive", you'd have to be thick as pigshit to not see it, the show was constantly tackling subjects that a lot of shows have only just started doing.

Discovery series 2 starts great, but I just felt like it was getting more and more ridiculous as the series went on. I think it may have helped if it was more an ensemble crew show than all about Burnham. Pike was brilliant. There's a lot of potential for them to do interesting things in the third series, but there's also a big danger that it becomes the hunt for Burnham's mum, which could get pretty dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the ridiculousness myself, it gave the show it's own energy that really set it apart from the others without going full on Star Wars.

If it'd been more all crew based ridiculousness than Burnham family ridiculousness it could have been better. It's a testament that Jonathan Frakes managed to make you care enough about Aryam in her episode enough to feel some impact when she ended up dying, but I always wonder how much better it could have been if we'd had a season and a half to get to know her before her passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really poor series, sorry.  Gave up halfway through season 2, just got... bored.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, there's potential that series 3 could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Another Picard trailer released: I know this is inevitably going to be disappointing, but I'm still excited about it. I guess the problem for long term fans is, what you really want is for it to be the same as it was before, and it can never be that. As long as it doesn't have too much Abramsy-stink, it'll be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
