50 Years of Star Trek - RIP

@tim The sad thing is this season is much better. Still not really Picard though, it's really jarring.

[Kirwan]

Dammit, they are raising my expectations. This looks good.

@kirwan Does look good but it's Paramount+ so what chance we get it in lil ol NZ?

Not sure yet, quick look isn't showing anything. If they don't give me a legal way to watch....

@kirwan If you have fibre it will take < 5 minutes to download a torrent.

@kirwan It's going to be Discovery with Joss Whedon soy bantz dialogue. It will be awful.

[dogmeat]

@tim I just 'discovered' that Discovery S4 is now on TVNZ On Demand

[Tim]

@dogmeat Don't do that to yourself.

[dogmeat]

@tim TBH much less interested without Michelle Yeoh

If it has an episodic structure, with space exploration, emphasis on teamwork and competency, and has a hopeful view of the future I'm down for the nostelgic window dressing they are throwing my way.

I'm not after Citizen Kane, I'm after junk food for the brain.

I was reading that they aren't even showing this in 1080p. Maybe 720p is good enough for those watching on iPads, etc but really?

[Kiwiwomble]

@bovidae ....im honestly not sure i'll be able to tell on anything smaller than 42inch so all good

[Tim]

@kirwan Enjoy the crying.

WTF???

[Tim]

A worse crime than anything being perpetrated in Ukraine.

They don't even have attractive women any more (apart from Jeri Ryan). TNG era Trek was full of babes.

[Kirwan]

@tim I’m hate watching this now. The stupid scientist is fucking singing now.

[dogmeat]

@kirwan it's certainly jumped the shark

It started better than season 1 and has somehow managed to become even worse. Quite an achievement.
