I gave up halfway through this season where not only does everyone on the ship have to work through their feelings, but the fucking ship itself has to work through its feelings. The ship? Seriously? I’m done.
The reverse is true for me. Picard makes absolute sense to me and I love Patrick Stewart. There are some groan-worthy aspects of it and some ridiculousness that I would have left out if I were making the show, but overall, I liked it. It was interesting and made me want to come back every week...
I also don’t have a problem turning off a tv show or walking out of a movie that I don’t like or can’t get into. My wife doesn’t understand it and gets annoyed when I do it but I have better things to do with my time. She, on the other hand, will spend two hours watching a shitty movie that she...
I really wanted to like Discovery. Season 1 was an absolute dumpster fire for me and Season 2 wasn’t much better. It got bad enough that I didn’t even watch the last two or three episodes of season 2. I was hoping Season 3 might be better and press some of the good Star Trek buttons for me but...
Spock solved the problem of dilithium recrystallization using high energy photons in Star Trek IV. And you’re right, by TNG era, federation ships could recrystallize dilithium.
I guess I just don’t get it. I suffered through season one and gave up about halfway through season two. I read about what happened at the end of season two so I could get up to speed but when I tried watching the season three premiere, I couldn’t make it to the fifteen minute mark without...
To me, the best part of two seasons of Disco is the final 10 minutes of the last episode. I would be perfectly happy if Disco just ended and was replaced by a revamped Star Trek with Pike, Spock, and Number One. I still stand by my assertion that without the saving graces of Pike, Spock, and...
After all the talk about how good the season finale was, I renewed my CBS sub and binged the final eleven episodes. The only part of it that remotely hit the mark for me was all done on the Enterprise. The final scene of the episode brought a big smile to my face and my eyes watered a little...
While I thought Brother was better than the entire first season combined, I’m still not sold. I still feel like I’m watching Battlestar Galactica and not Star Trek. It’s the same feeling I got watching Abrams’ Star Trek and Star Wars reboots... they felt like anything but what they were intended...
Tyler as we know him was actually Voq, combined with the original Tyler’s (who was captured off camera at the Battle of the Binary Stars) harvested DNA and consciousness then surgically altered to appear human. That’s my understanding anyway.
I signed up for CBS All access just for Discovery and have watched the first season over the last two weeks. What a convoluted mess.
If season two isn’t any better, I’ll be quick to cancel.
