Whether an episode is terrible or not doesn't preclude the franchise from attempting it. It's all in the execution.
ST:SNW S03 - Official Trailer
- Thread starter Kamen Rider Blade
- Start date
Quips existed before the MCU. This show is nowhere near that level yet either way
Dr. McCoy wasn't a stranger to "quips" either.
TOS gives a lot of characters quips, zingers and one liners. Shatner had pretty good comic timing.
Nor was Mr. Spock.
Terrible is a subjective opinion. Some people love the musical episode; I personally do not care for it. But, I thoroughly enjoy the Mirror Universe and that is considered terrible.
There are outlandish things in this franchise and all are fair game to newer productions.
They really were deliberately listing famously bad episodes in this case though. You don't accidentally pick Way to Eden, Threshold and Sub Rosa to make your case that weirdness is good actually.
Maybe I'll give season three a try. Anything from season two that I really need to see before July 17th? No spoilers, just a yeah or nay will suffice.
Not terrible, just way overused for a device that stands up to no logical scrutiny.
Absolutely NEED to see? The finale for sure.
I didn't know the Mirror universe is considered terrible. Huh. I like it. Mostly.
Yes, last episode.
For what it's worth, these are the IMDb scores for the Mirror Universe stories:
TOS: Mirror, Mirror - 9.0
PRO: Cracked Mirror - 8.6
ENT: In a Mirror, Darkly - 8.2
DIS: Vaulting Ambition - 8.1
DIS: What's Past is Prologue - 8.1
DIS: Despite Yourself - 7.9
DS9: Crossover - 7.8
DIS: The Wolf Inside - 7.8
DS9: Through the Looking Glass - 7.4
DS9: Shattered Mirror - 7.1
DIS: Terra Firma - 6.4
DS9: The Emperor's New Cloak - 6.3
DS9: Resurrection - 5.7
Section 31 - 3.8
So Mirror Universe stories see to be pretty well liked generally. Except for when DS9 drove them into the ground.
Yep, pretty much the only character development she’s had. Oh, and apparently she has a brother.
You’re missing where I also cited Vic Fontaine, one of DS9’s best and most unexpected recurring characters.
You’re also missing my point where I was talking about far-fetched things, not a value judgment over whether they’re good or not. I’d rather you not distort the point of what I was saying.
Your inclusion of Vic Fontaine threw me off because he's a holodeck character. They're in every episode with a holodeck.
I need the happy silly Trek from time to time, if only to get away from the space battles/baddies and temporal/quantum disturbances the other 2/3 of the time. Life is pretty grim right now and to decompress with silly SNW is a luxury. I liked Rhapsody's attempt, but I wish the music had been...more humable. We've all been spoiled by successful Disney and Broadway musicals, and can't help but compare.
Okay...what's been weird in good episodes?
Marble donut Time Lords, sarcastic demigods who clean up your coffee spills, sentient stones...
