Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x10 - "Despite Yourself"

[Guy Gardener]

I don’t think you understand storytelling or diversity.

Girlfriend made me watch a Cinderella type movie last night called #Realityhigh.

Half way through I realized that this was a mainstream movie, albeit a Netflix original, where both the romantic leads were African American, without any one in the film mentioning any obvious racial talking points.

Note, the female lead in Realityhigh is one of the leads from Travelers, which is also "made" (paid for in part) by Netflix, so does that mean that Netflix will also be investing in other actors from Travelers with their own Original movies for the sake of synergy?

The difference in diversity then vs. now is it was about telling a good story first, showing off diversity second. Now it's the reverse.

You mean like say TNG's "Code of Honor"? (assertion blown - QED)

Does anyone besides me want to see a whole episode dedicated to the [mis]adventures of Captain Killy in the Prime timeline?

Episode? Spin-off!

more medals

Heh...a bunch of those were raided from the NuBSG prop closet and modified just a tad-bit.

And for those interested, I spliced together the pic from the most recent AfterTrek that shows all the medals they used:

Cool. I'm a total nerd for uniform insignia and adornments.

So the show didn't just steal it's setting from "Battlestar Galatica" but some of their props as well.

Enterprise stole it's setting from BSG? How so?

 

[137th Gebirg]

Voyager stole more from TOS BSG.

Voyager stole more from TOS BSG.

[Borgminister]

Not everyone posts reviews to Rotten Tomatoes. Good grief.

 

[mattyhugh]

Voyager stole more from TOS BSG.

There are those who believe that life here, began in the Delta Quardrent.

 

[Jayson1]

Enterprise stole it's setting from BSG? How so?

Well I was mostly just making a joke but I guess the idea is both went for the edgy gritty and darkly lit concept. You have older well respected and experienced actor who is captain and a strong willed female lead that is worshiped but also supposed to be dangerous as a lead.

I think what DSC has been, however, is very polarizing for fans....

Sure, but a certain percentage of those fans who dislike the show went in to it wanting to dislike it.

 

[Orac]

Jason Isaacs Scottish accent is much better than James Doohan's.

 

[STR]

Did they recycle some Movie rank pins for those?

Not as far as I can tell.

Judging from some of the complaints I wonder if they’ve even watched a show since Enterprise. A lot of people complain about how there is an ongoing story that isn’t wrapped up and forgotten in 42 minutes. They want the entire arc in one episode.

I think about 90% of shows are gritty and darker lit. That's just the style these days.

Absofreakinglutely.

And, when you're determined to dislike something, you will usually be successful.
