Data and Lore switch places on every encounter. From Datalore to Brothers its Lore. Then it’s Data again until Descent. Then back to Lore until Nemesis. That’s the real reason Data’s personality is all fragmented when he returns on Picard. Too many swaps got him confused.
If they saw it before they were 14, it’s nuanced, insightful, even challenging. If they saw it after they were 14, it’s shallow insincere pandering.
I’m with you. 2016 may not compare to the original, but it was a solid comedy with a good heart. The bloody meltdown parts of the internet had over it was insane.
Nah, he’s a good Canadian.
Okay, he’s rich, out of touch, and a total dick to his coworkers. But I’ve never seen him express any particularly bad political views.
I agree about shows not overstaying their welcome, but for me the natural length of an Academy show would be 4 years (or however long we agree a cadet stays at the academy). After that, we could have a new Trek show with a new mission statement, but allow it to carry over a select few characters from Academy in the same way that Academy adopted a few of Discovery’s characters. That would strike me as a nice natural rhythm.
Enterprise is the one Trek show I haven’t managed to finish, so I’ll have to take your word for it. I always assumed “food” was getting glossed over with that bashful “you name it”.
Didn’t catch that either. I guess we’ll see if those talks actually go anywhere.
This is depressing, if accurate, in that it may also be a signal that the new owner is looking for a new production company to manage the franchise just when things had finally and consistently stabilized with Secret Hideout.
I’m sure they are, and suspect that this would be the trajectory regardless of Academy’s viewership. The new ownership will be looking to develop a new, more fascism-friendly flavour of Star Trek in the next few years. Tremendous shame, but not a surprise.
Don’t blame Disco for an Enterprise retcon
Your opinion on that could only hold any weight if you’d been watching it, which you obviously haven’t, since you just tried to argue that the creators of Jay-Den tried to steal clout from the creators of Lura Thok.
You’re the one who’s missing the point, in a way that betrays your ignorance about the subject. There were no outwardly gay Klingons who preceded Jay-Den. Calling him the first is only imprecise because he’s tied for that title with another character introduced in the same episode.
Look, Lower Decks might have featured another person with the same name as Nick Lacarno, but that guy looked completely different, so it was obviously a new character.
I know you don’t really mean that, Mr. Vulcan!
I agree, I felt like the trial should have gone harder on the Federation’s inability to handle the burn. I like that backstory of failure. It means the SFA generation has to feel a greater weight of responsibility to be build something better.
Like, okay, humanitarian triage was needed, but why? Surely every planetary system should be minimally self-sufficient, not relying on a disruptable interstellar supply chain. Even if it never intentionally violated its core principles, I’d like it reinforced that the Federation was complacent before the burn, and holds responsibility for that.
I understand the drama of the scene meant it had to circle around Ake’s decisions regarding Caleb, but I thought the balance could have been pulled off slightly better.
de-weaponizing the minefield (which one would think has long-term implications, if they’ve truly found a way to permanently stabilize Omega)
I had the impression that it was only an option because of the composition of this synthetic type of Omega. Could be wrong, I’d need to rewatch the scene.
Well, I have a much rosier view of new Trek than yours, but I feel the need to thank you for listing some genuinely good modern sci-fi as alternatives. So often in these discussions I just see “they should do what The Orville did,” like a TNG Xerox is an interesting or even viable way to propagate the franchise.
Pluribus in particular did a great job interrogating a threat essentially shared with a classic Trek villain from a refreshingly new perspective. Good recommendation.
I don’t think I caught that! I’ll have to keep my eyes out whenever I do a rewatch.
I wish I could say I’d check it out, but my To Be Read pile is a little intimidating… maybe one day.
The Conspiracy aliens. We’ve been waiting… so long……
Or the ones from Schisms.
The Borg ain’t nothing but zombies.
