  • “If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with sausages to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.”

  • Though honestly, I personally like to imagine that Tom Paris really likes Star Wars, but when he brings it up, everyone thinks it’s just another one of his campy 20th century films.

    I mean, it is, isn't it?

  • Like letting the air out of a balloon!

  • Season 1 of Picard started with such promise, but it's clear they had no roadmap. They meandered around not developing the main plot until they had to throw together the most slapdash resolution in the last few episodes.

    But I liked the concept of Picard in a new setting with new characters, on the outs with Starfleet but holding up its ideals even while the actual organization fell behind. A much better premise than season 3's "lets just make everything like it was thirty years ago again!" approach.

  • Five seasons for Disco, SNW, and LD. I’d love more, but I think that’s respectable for streaming series. Doesn’t seem like they’re trying to escape anything.

  • You’re not suggesting that Star Trek fans might have had a negative overreaction to something just because it wasn’t 110% familiar and comfortable for them, are you? Why, that would be unprecedented.

  • My biggest concern is with the new ownership. The lack of any announced queer rep, SNW’s tepid third season, and even the pointed heteronormative attire in this poster all seem in line with a Trek that’s not going to push for anything progressive.

    I agree with you that a Star Trek teen drama has potential though. Star Trek was built to encompass a variety of genres. Most around here seem to have appreciated the Star Trek animated comedy, and I don’t hear much denigrating of Bakula’s West Wing in space proposal, so I don’t see why 90210 in space should be such a punchline.

  • It was eventually added back in for the Director’s Edition, though.

  • I’m shocked it’s taken this long for someone to post that piece of comedy gold.

  • For the men? Yes. Women must be slender with nice legs.

    Wait, what if this is an in-universe recruitment ad?

  • T’be fair, seems likely his nephew has a torpedo funeral service en route. It was good enough for Spock, after all.

  • The TMP novelization’s version of the academy featured competitive orgies between the human and Deltan residences, iirc. Anything less than that, and I’m calling this show out for not being true to Gene’s Vision®.

  • a) why would they stop? Just because you lost one war doesn’t mean you dissolve your entire military.

    b) perhaps the Jem’Hadar at some point seized control of their own cloning facilities and made the necessary changes. Or the Founders eventually turn over a new leaf and grant them autonomy. 800 years allows for any number of explanations.

  • It’s not even that, it’s Avery Brooke’s powerful voice and Patrick Stewart’s piercing eyes as they confront one another for the first time, the briefing room filling with tension as Sisko’s barely contained rage breaks against Picard’s steely reserve, knowing both are just surface defences covering the hidden hurt they reach feel, both victims of the same implacable foe, both denying themselves the comfort of…

    We’re all nostalgic for the same things here, right? Yes? No?

  • Alright, that's fair reasoning. I don't sweat it when a sci-fi future looks oddly contemporary, just like I don't sweat it when a period piece does the Bridgerton thing of including modern pop songs and printed dress patterns. A little artistic licence doesn't bother me for stuff like that, but I get the perspective.

  • Jacket looks slick. I'm in favour of leaning more towards civilian higher education aesthetics and away from military ones. After all, aren't we always being told Starfleet isn't a military?

  • Granted, it's a relatively extreme case. But there are also real consequences to Burnham, which persist through the whole season, as opposed to the usual slap on the wrist or less. Most shows will have the protagonist thumb their nose at orders and convey that it's a good thing. Personally, I like that it blows up in the protagonist's face for once. But I'm also the sort who kind of resents Trek IV letting everyone off so easy after the whole Enterprise hijacking incident.

  • The commander disobeing order to the captain in the first and also attacking her?

    Not sure why this would surprise you, disobeying orders is a favourite pastime in Starfleet.

    Seriously, season 1 is quite grimdark, but it serves its purpose and the story is allowed to progress past it. The show mellows by the middle and becomes positively saccharine by the end.
