Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 20, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted May 20, 2020 I guess we'll have to see what comes from the next series of Discovery, Picard or the Pike show, Strange New Worlds. That could be good if it was Star Trek. Quote

Now into season five and I'm sure it will be plain sailing all the way back to the Alpha Quadrant. S2-3 is my favourite period, I think. The storytelling is still somewhat ambitious/original, they're not just doing alien of the week/reset button until the 7 seasons are up. S6 onwards is heavily phoned in, the overall finale is quite disappointing, too much 7 of 9 generally. Still some good episodes here and there. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 28, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Year Of Hell is brilliant. I wonder how it would have played out if it'd been a whole season like they wanted before the show runner told them they weren't doing arcs ON Voyager. That Lower Decks trailer looks pretty grim.

Presumably it wouldn't have concluded with the reset button they went with. It was alluded to in a future timeline in one episode (in S3? Maybe S4), in which case they must have had serious plans because they remembered it happening. Quote

Yeah, there was an episode called "before & after towards the end of the third season where Kes travelled to a future after the year of hell. https://trekmovie.com/2020/05/29/bryan-fuller-describes-star-trek-voyager-serialized-year-of-hell-season-rejected-by-rick-berman/ Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 23, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 23, 2020 Discovery is back. I watched the first two episodes this morning. If you're not a fan of Michael Burnham being in it a lot you're probably not going to have a good time with episode 1. The second episode shows how good it can be when the show is more about the ensemble cast rather than just her. Sets up some interesting plot lines going forward. I'll probably end up sticking it out. Quote
Paid Members marc2j Posted October 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 24, 2020 Discovery episode 2 was cracking. The first episode was a bit much with too much Burnham. That said, Lower Decks has a very special place in my heart now. Its quality. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 24, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 24, 2020 I've heard mixed reviews of Lower Decks. I hear it's good for Easter eggs and fanservice, but the actual show isn't as funny as people thought it would be. I've not seen it myself. Quote
Paid Members marc2j Posted October 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 24, 2020 Fair to say the first episode is a bit weird and takes you out of the moment but from there it is indeed laugh out loud funny in places. Quote
BrodyGraham Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Lower Decks is class. Genuinely funny and obviously made by people that love Star Trek. Little details, like how the crew fight hand to hand with double axe handles and shotgun dropkicks like in TOS make me chuckle no end. Quote
Paid Members hallicks Posted October 31, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 31, 2020 That guy is amazing! Amazing work in there, thanks for sharing. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 31, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 31, 2020 Third episode was interesting. Felt very Star Trek with its tone and plot. Quote
Merzbow Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I probably would have enjoyed the fourth more if they didn't force Burnham into it, she really didn't need to be center of what was a great look into Adira and the Trill. Quote

This has always been the problem, which is probably why I've enjoyed the second episode of this season the mose so far. So many previous episodes have lost their power because of Burnham. The Airiam episode could have been so much stronger if she'd been more than "that robot looking one in the background" in every episode before. Quote
