Lower Expectations, says Discovery Writer.

This is like the last week of football season. How long have we got to go? Next summer?

Christ, I could be kidnapped by a UFO, impregnated, and have a kid by then. Of course, being a guy, that would be some genetic shit if it happened. Especially at my age.
 
What if they zoned off a goal line and train the monkeys to score?

"Primate Shitball"

That'd have to give the NFL a run for it's money. :)
 
Heh the worst fans....Trekkies...never happy with anything....I'll take it for what it is, I hope it will be good, but I am not having huge wild expectations.
 
Frankly I don't have high expectations for this show. Doesn't mean I will watch a crappy production though. The worst that will happen is I will stop watching the show after a couple episodes.

ENT is proof positive no one's Trek world will coming crashing down if a Trek series under performs and gets cancelled.
 
CBS All Access is a bubble were they can do swears and show full sex, and the FCC can't get them. Why create a crimezone where you can get away with murder if you plan on playing it safe?

That's another advantage of teaming up with netflix... They won't have to worry about the show getting cut in the short forecast to amend content for whiney sponsors they have direct communication with insisting that Jesus would have a problem with this weeks episode.

I'm starting to feel that way.
I'm still hoping for Game of Thrones in space. Power, nudity, sex, drama, violence, battles, death, massive upheavals on a galactic scale... Discovery Is Coming.
If that is the case then I'll pass, thanks.
 
You have me curious. Why, exactly? Earth can still have its optimistic utopia while various other races and planets have their particular challenges and hopes for a better future. Everything in the universe is a dynamo derived from change. Just as a dam gets it's power from a change in water level, there is no drama or change without overcoming obstacles. The longer the water has to fall, the bigger the obstacle, the more power you get from a story of epic drama.

People who don't watch Game of Thrones, foolishly assume that it's 40 minutes of hard core porn every episode.
 
Nah, a clickbait title would look like this.

"17 Reasons You Should Lower Your Expectations About Star Trek Discovery. You Won't Believe #9.'

They're usually posted by sites like worldofoddballs or geeknerdom. Whenever I see links to them on Facebook fan groups I report them.
How do you succeed at doing that?
