If they don’t like it, they need to find a way to hold their president accountable. Trump can end this conflict with a word. Until then, we do what we have to.
Always striking to me how many Star Trek fans are so dismissive of Star Trek. I know its of it's time, but TOS didn't take its place in history by accident. Wonderful storytelling, iconic characters - absolutely a must to watch, at least to try it out.
Voyager, by comparison, is pretty mid. The writing is super inconsistent and it absolutely squanders its own premise. Notable for Janeway, Seven, and the Doctor, but it's definitely rough going.
But it's still a good watch. The only ones I don't think I could enthusiastically recommend are TAS, Enterprise, and Picard.
Yeah… I really wish I was able to appreciate that. The idea of Kirk being given a reprieve from his fate in Generations to have one final moment with his t’hy’la is very sweet if nothing else. But between the horrible CGI body replacements and the impenetrable story they built around it, I really couldn’t feel any of the emotion that scene should have.
That said, it’s at least focused on the human connections of Kirk’s life. The other approach that’s been hinted at lately, some kind of secret Section 31 scheme, sounds much less appealing.
I have a bit of a knee-jerk reaction that Star Trek should be looking forward rather than backward, but I also love SNW so that's obviously not a hard and fast rule. You're right that this could be done well, but I'm very skeptical that it would be.
My biggest concern is that they would over aggrandise the character. Kirk was always a big personality, but he was also very flawed and human. I don't want to watch every other character fawning over the legendary Captain Kirk, or see him battling the Borg at 95.
I also don't want to see an uncanny valley digital mockery, I can't stand those.
But if they came up with something like Relics was for Scotty - an intimate, meaningful story that put a button on the character's life and didn't feel the need to build it up as some galaxy-shattering event - I could be into that. But I doubt that's what they're considering.
TOS' quality drops off in the third season, but those first two years are almost all bangers. TNG era shows have a similar ratio, it's just reversed: they struggle at the start, and pick up as they go.
Dried stevia leaves are subjected to purified water first. Then followed by a precipitation process with ferric chloride and calcium hydroxide to remove non-soluble plant materials & other impurities and follow filtration.
So they’re washed with soap and water? Must we use the scariest language possible here?
I just clicked in specifically to chastise you for assigning TNG to Mikey of all turtles!
