I'm not offended by it, but in Star Trek it comes across as really cringey. It reminds me of when we were kids and said curse words for the first time and acted like it made us big shots or that we finally transcended some kind of barrier. That's what it feels like in Star Trek: a little kid...
I would have loved to see Starfleet and the "adventures" of the crew from the perspective of a civilian or a really low-ranking officer. Not in a cartoony/jokey way, but it's treated so flippantly that "god-like" aliens exist and one race of them tried to end humanity or shape-shifting aliens or...
For me - the show was a low point in Trek for me. I think this is the first Trek that I have no interest in rewatching. I finish it just because I don't think it would have been fair to judge a show I half-finished. Plus, I started to enjoy it more when they got out of the 23rd century. If the...
Dear gods, that teaser trailer looks awful. Wow. Even if this was meant to just be a teaser, aka a series of rapid interspliced scenes that tell us only one thing: this show/film is coming soon - this was a terrible way of doing it.
Regarding the idea of a S31 series? I would have found that to...
I like the idea of a space station being the HQ of the UFP. It makes it less human-centric. I get it - the show makes humanity the center of the universe because the viewers are human. However, I liked how Babylon 5 had it that a "neutral" station was the center for so many worlds instead of it...
It's funny because I'm much more of a Niner than a TNG fan. I love all of that era, but the ENT-D doesn't hold a special place in my heart like the Defiant or DS9 (the station). Yet, I grinned when I saw the ENT-D light up and return to complete the mission. I can only imagine how those that...
I like what the other posters said about it not being a literal discussion in a white room. That maybe it is more akin to Jarvis vs. Ultron but they didn't want to show a battle of codes and flashing light. So, we as viewers, see this battle of synthetic codes in the form of Data and Lore (as we...
I never knew this, but it's an interesting concept. One of the things I thought was odd is the Klingons/Romulans are "Empires" but they had not conquered any alien species. I think ENT had Klingons harass some moisture farmers (:P) or something. I just chalked it up to their empire just being...
I'm not sure if there was a specific reason, but I certainly prefer a cross-over or established character to some nameless background Vulcan. Trek has enough of those.
I do wish that he had been given a bit more to do, though.
As a Niner, I appreciated this war (ish) episode.
I thought it was interesting to juxtapose this episode with "The Wounded" and O'Brien's PTSD. O'Brien never had to face the Cardassian Gul that carried out the Setlik massacre. I wonder how he would have reacted in comparison to M'Benga.
I can't believe this needs to be explained. The Powers That Be do not just equal the direct showrunner(s). It's also the studios backing them/interfering with the plot.
You quoted what I said and then put a positive, coincidental spin on each example. As if it was by pure chance that The Powers...
I think SNW has balanced new ideas with old follow-up ideas so far.
However, if this were the case then it is inevitable due to one big reason:
This is yet another prequel in the TOS era. Ever since The Powers That Be misinterpreted the lower ratings of DS9/VOY compared to TNG, they have...
Really good episode and great wind up to the finale.
While I am burnt out on the Borg (thanks VOY) and thought it'd be unlikely to bring them back since they were utilized in S1 and S2 of PIC, I am kind of glad that the TNG cast is finishing with a villain that originated with them rather than...
I think everyone covered the reasons.
For me - it just felt like it had zero build up to it. I can barely recall any time that Chakotay and Seven shared scenes and directly communicated only with each other. I'm pretty sure she interacted more with Janeway, the Doctor, Torres, and Kim more...
That's a good question. Like you pointed out, the Cardassians and maybe the Breen would be able to tell everyone. Also, I imagine the Klingons and Romulans (at least their higher ups) would definitely be aware that this virus did not appear out of thin air.
Starfleet could do the whole...
