50 Years of Star Trek - RIP

[Kirwan]

@Tim yep, another good episode. The thing they have done is make Star Trek tv again, there have always been plenty of shit bad guys and hokey stuff.

Here we had light action, good special effects, people talking through conflict and making plans and moral questions.

It felt like a new generation episode made today, all I wanted. Picard is far closer the tv version now, back to being gruff.

[Kirwan]

Shows getting better, actually some good acting going on too.

Even better with the news that Disco has been cancelled.

You still have a final season of suckage to enjoy Stops after season 5.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Kirwan true, will have to work out how to watch it, last time i needed to binge whilst on a flight

have you kept watching of gave up a while back?

[Kiwiwomble]

....ok...that was only about 30sec after i posted and i havent bothered to search anything about discovery and dont follow this page

@Kirwan I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Discovery with Michelle Yeoh - despite it having so many whiney, woke, unlikeable characters - but gave up after it went all eco warrior save the Dolphins

[Kiwiwomble]

@dogmeat which season was eco warriory?

s1 = shadow universe etc
s2 = mystery of the rifts ending in time travel
s3 = the burn and just working out the future
s4 = gravitational anomaly thing

you're not thinking Star Trek IV are you ;)...they're literally trying to save whales

@dogmeat ok, must have missed what was eco warrior about it, i thought it was quite interesting to see how things can fall apart if you lost that easy connectivity and communication

I wanted to like it very much. I just couldn't handle all the crying and non-Star Trek ethos. Nobody seemed good at their jobs, it was all about Micheal's character saving the day - not the normal teamwork with a strong leader.

I noped out after season 3.

So happy to have Strange New Worlds, that still has left viewpoints (like the original Star Trek) but done with class and nuance, and kept the core of what makes Star Trek great which is positivity about the future. Add in the third series of Picard and and the worm seems to have turned on these shows.

[dogmeat]

@Kirwan Yeah I left after Season 3 for similar reasons.

I suspect I just like Yeoh as a leather clad dominatrix

Michael, Tilly, Saru etc not so much

Good episode this week too. Lots of filler, but that is modern serialized TV.

Now, if they go to Deep Space Nine to see Garak ...

[Tim]

[Kirwan]

@Tim not much to disagree with there. The show is good, that last episode was classic Star Trek. Not good Star Trek, classic.

Very content nerd.

[Tim]

Best episode yet (#5).

But, that's a Trekkie canon!

Now if they could only bring back Space: 1999 or Blake's 7 I'd be happy.
