Besides, that guy ends up trying to kill Captain Kirk and in the original edit of GEN actually did.
Lower Decks Trailer Analysis
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
More my skepticism at calling something not Star Trek because its not serious enough.
Good point....all because someone forced him to watch a cartoon that didn't appeal to him, I'd wager.
Yet another of life's small tragedies, I'm afraid....!!
No one is saying that.
The Borg didn't destroy El-Auria, they forced his family to watch a bad sitcom.
No one is saying that either.
A fate worse than assimilation....which in itself is the only fate worse than death!!!
As an aside, Berman Trek really missed out not making an episode about a wacky cult of people who purposefully sought out assimilation. I'm sure there are some people in the Trek universe who would see it as a good thing after all.
No joke, that is actually a pretty compelling story idea.
You quoted me and then immediately said "the writer already having disdain for the material" and "hatred in a franchise that espouses diversity and celebrating differences."
I get that you were generalizing some of the posters here, but quoting me as an example seems pretty harsh, since I thought I implied a diametrically opposite viewpoint. I want to make it crystal clear that this is the series, moreso than Picard and about equal to Discovery Season 1, that I am looking forward to the most, because new characters, in animation, in a pre-established universe, seems the best way to present new Star Trek. Having it as a comedy (but not parody) is just icing on the cake, because Trek comedy is the greatest.
Pokes a bit of fun at the people that have died that way in Trek to this point. I like it.
I think you're looking for a conspiracy where none exists.
Every captain has made questionable, immoral decisions. The only difference is that the rest have already been picked apart ad nauseum, because they are between 25 and 50 years old. Burnham is in front of the audience now.
That was not my intent at all and I apologize for the confusion. I was referring to an article I had read back when the Star Wars episode 7 trailer had dropped and the excessive amount of analysis and assumptions made from that trailer.
I don't think so. You're an exception, but look at everyone else. It's too neatly sorted. Almost everyone who likes DSC/PIC also likes Lower Decks? Almost everyone who isn't interested in Lower Decks doesn't like DSC/PIC? You don't think that's a little weird?
If Lower Decks looked like it would be exactly the same as those other two series, I could see it. That's not the case. This many people don't have their opinions line up so exactly. I've never seen that here before, ever.
Even among various series forums, look at the backgrounds of the posters. No one likes the same exact combination of series and movies from before (or after).
The novels did something similar with a race in the Delta Quadrant who literally worshipped the Borg and formed a religion around them, with assimilation being their idea of going to heaven. However, they were too technologically primitive for the Borg to think they were worth assimilating.
Not really. People who are already happy are looking forward to more, people that feel like they've been burned to this point are a bit more leery and critical. It is just being human.
I got food poisoning at Arby's when I was a kid, I ended up not eating it again for almost twenty years.
TOO MUCH COFFEE TODAY???????
Phaser 'joke' was really stupid. Even by modern standards. It was also racist and sexist as fuck.
But who cares.
But who cares.
Do explain? Are minority female characters not allowed to make mistakes?
