The advanced reviews suggest the next time we see Braka he won't be as cartoonish.
How would KBL or anyone know? Silly question.
We met two out in "the wild". There could be more. The planet is waste land in the 23rd Century. A thousand years later, who knows?
Yeah, for now I would have to agree. Some of the reviewers claim his portrayal gets better at later points in the season and I’m curious to know how they will do that. What’s unfortunate is that someone like Paul Giamatti would absolutely have been capable of playing an antagonist with more depth and nuance. Heck, a misunderstood Robin Hood type criminal who’s ideologically opposed to the Federation would arguably be something that would have catered more to Giamatti’s strengths as an actor.
I found it a very welcome aspect of the premiere episode that several of the cadets are shown to expressly not excel in their roles. Jay-Den isn’t a brilliant doctor (yet). Darem let’s being a prick get in the way of performing well during the crisis. Sam stands in her own way with her nervousness … In fact, the theme of the crisis plot in “Kids These Days” seems to be that they excel because they are working together as a team, each one adding something to the success of what they are trying to achieve.
loved it!Just wait for E2
It's good that they thought to walk that back, but it feels like it might be a bit too late given people are going to form their impressions based on this.
You know that brings up a question.
Why isn't ZERO one of the teachers? They'd still be alive after all.
I'm guessing it's a retcon.
They all died horribly because they stopped mid-crisis to have an emotional heart-to-heart, and Starfleet just re-recruited and started over.
Working together in spite of their differences? I am shocked by this ...
He's the CnC, so yes.
Based on a real thing. Call it "Graduate School" for military (GASP!) training.
Something I thought about the Doctor and his supposed sameness. Maybe I imagined it, but I thought there was a hint in his conversation with SAM that he had reasons for not wanting to be a mentor that might have allude to do the centuries in between. And maybe the Doctor joining the Academy staff is his wanting to return to something familiar after some time away and he is taking comfort in familiarity.
Vance is basically Admiral Morrow, Admiral Cartwright and the Starfleet C-in-C. from TUC rolled into one, especially since flag officers in the late 32nd century are so much more scarce.
low budget CW sci fi show Pandora was a better academy show. lmfao.If I can manage to not hate watch Prodigy I think I can manage not to hate watch this show. If I want to watch a SciFi themed CW style show I'll watch Legends of Tomorrow, which somehow has better writing
I have a friend I watch Star Trek with (and other shows) and she says "Take your time" every time somebody takes a second to say something outside the immediate crisis. It's extremely annoying.
What would be the budgetary cost to animate the character in live action?
It'd probably be too high to justify having him as a regular character.
Tell us how you really feel.
Yeah, I picked up on that as well. I wonder if they are laying the groundwork for a later storyline where the doctor reveals what a burden immortality has become to him. He very obviously reacts very strongly when Sam mentions people that meant a lot to him but that he lost a literal millennium ago. So it seems like he’s keeping himself from getting attached to people, because he can’t handle their inevitable deaths any more.
Or, you know, just update the fucking system and erase his traumatic memories.
It's like SFA doesn't really want to "go out there" but rather be episodic therapy sessions for the audience.
The first episode, though with a lot of problems, was slightly fun here and there, but the second episode just killed the soft momentum.
Why would the Doctor have his memory erased? Given how important his experiences were to him from back on Voyager the whole "nu-trek is too emotional" implication feels very forced.
Dr Ira Graves transported his brain patterns into Data and then to the ENT-D memory banks.
PIC had Soong type androids that were deliberately kept at low intelligence mode for labor in Mars.
Picard himself had his consciousness transferred to an ndroid replica of himself.
So logically, by the 31st century, every humanoid should be immortal by transferring their consciousness to android bodies like Altered Carbon.
