50 Years of Star Trek - RIP

[Nepia]

I thought the latest Star Trek was well received?

[Tim]

@nepia Critics (e.g. Zack Handlen at the AV Club) who followed it over the season regarded it as a poorly written mess.

It's shit.

[antipodean]

How can it be poorly written? Find new planet. Kirk has sex with scantily clad inhabitant. Scotty finds more power. Klingons get defeated. It's logical.

[MN5]

I always thought Star Trek the next generation was shit as well. That is until I discovered this chick is in it.....

[Kirwan]

The new one is better than Voyager and DS9 at least.

DS9

LOL, retard alert.

[Kirwan]

Too easy

That said DS9 is pretty meh. But back to Discovery, how do they have the Enterprise, Pike and Spock and not leave people wanting to watch that show instead?

Whoa. First post since August. This thread is wild.

[Tim]

@MN5 You will acknowledge dril's very good joke or you will shut up.

[dogmeat]

I listened to The Infinite Monkey Cages podcast on Space Exploration last night. Patrick Stewart was one of the guests and was (reasonably) funny

What a mess.

No reason you couldn’t make an awesome Star Trek film for 80 million. It doesn’t need Star Wars like space battles every five minutes.

Write a good story, and make the brand stand out instead of copying what Disney is doing.

The producers should sit down and watch Wrath of Khan

@Kirwan It sounds like the new Picard show will replace Discovery, but it will have the same convoluted licensing agreements dictating content ...

That sounds like wishful thinking on your part. Everything I’ve heard about the Picard show so far doesn’t scream marquee Trek show. They are trying something new there, I’m expecting a small quirky show.

Or even the voyage home. Not effects heavy, simple story, well told.
