No, you aren't. Literally everything in the post above is written about comparing Star Trek to how things, in your opinion, should theoretically work in the real world. You are judging it based solely on 'realism' and nothing else. But realism is not in any way the same thing as quality...

...idea, would be important. Also, the car should have some kind of off-road feature. A flying car idea is as old as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but it would be interesting to see it done in a somewhat plausible way. I imagine there will be all kinds of jokes about the lameness of contemporary AI...

...rest, but he ended up outpacing them all intellectually, becoming a philosopher and a Biblical scholar by age 4 or 5. Schulz seemed to like the joke of toddler prodigies, since Schroeder also started out as a baby who could somehow produce concert-worthy classical music from a tin toy piano...

...outline as it stands that someone in the 8-10 range couldn't handle. In the Happy New Year, Charlie Brown and The Peanuts Movie, they make a joke about Charlie Brown, aged 8-10, reading War and Peace. (Hell, in The Peanuts Movie, Linus, who is younger than Charlie Brown, reads Charlie...

As I implied... it was a little joke... not any better... and certainly not any worse... than Kirk's in that scene. That's Kirk... laughing at his own lame joke... and he's the only one in the elevator laughing. Get it? My goodness, tough room!

Yeah, thing is the joke has to work…

...that a plasma driven ship could have the necessary performance level, it was never done. Manned Spaceflight at this time, is basically a joke. Why? Because Nixon chose the Spaceshuttle over the nuclear rocket. He brought advanced space travel to an end. Right now all we hear are excuses...

My best friend looks a bit like George Lucas. I once joked the he and I should cosplay Spielberg and Lucas at a con. :lol:

Yeah, my jaw kinda dropped at that comment too. The crew on SNW or TNG joking with each other and lightening the mood are one thing, but I found the DISCO gang to be simply juvenile. Well put. In spite of its problems, I guess that's why I enjoy watching it. It's fun.

Exactly. The Metron was talking about erasing memories. Whether the "you" in that sentence referred to just Ortegas or all of humanity is up for debate, I suppose. I don't know if this is the writers being intentionally oblique or if it was just sloppy writing. (Considering how underwhelming...

I'd say that's probably very much open to whatever your own interpretation is. To me, i've never thought of it like that. Bear in mind that was only the second episode of the show and it was still trying to find its feet at that point.

This sort of thing has been a Trek trope for decades. I even made this silly joke about it nine years ago:

Nope. Those who are watching probably will keep on watching. Those who dropped off in the season probably won't be persuaded by marketing. Screenshots probably be released Tuesday (no Generations joke intended).

you need Doug

I don't disagree, but 'member berries, and a show that never really had the same chance/chances. The webisodes? A joke.

Explain the um,joke? Y’know,for those of us unfortunate enough not to have that towering sense of fun that you are blessed with.

...The problem with that, is that the audience is in a lot of stuff the characters aren't, from the get-go - in essence, he's a running inside joke, if not a deliberately funny one. Wink-wink. The unfolding of stories about him can't evoke the sense of discovery that they did in TOS. Abrams...

So basically the writers answer to SNW's biggest continuity problem is not "a wizard did it", but.... a literal wizard saying "maybe we should do it". Unironically great trolling. Funny story - the resemblances between "Arena" the TOS episode and the book are literally - guy fights alien, and...

...Reminds me of right at the start of Disco when they kept saying "don't worry, we have a brilliant plan to make this all work with canon!" I joked "what, are they going to order everyone not to talk about it, like that Simpsons episode?", which was the most comically stupid idea I could think...

Insert Dominic Keating mid-2000s joke here.
