As someone who used to be a massive JJ fanboy, (Cloverfield is still amazing, best viral marketing leadup ever as well and first 2 seasons of Lost were revolutionary television) yeah, I agree. I actually don't think JJ particularly cares about much he works on, he's a guy who has a formula that...

Lol wtf? Plinkett's Trek reviews are some of the most popular Star Trek content on the entire internet. RLM are some of the most influential movie reviewers out there as well, with literal mainstream Hollywood figures talking about and sharing their reviews and even appearing on their shows...

I hate to get political, but sadly Politics are playing heavily into this and it's not really the fandom at fault, it's the creators. As someone on the left, something I've noticed increasingly since 2016 are the heads of Liberals disappearing so far up their asses it's crazy and their absolute...

Shhhhhh don't think with your brain. Lasers go pew pew, Data, Picard, Riker I know who they are so I clapped! Seriously nothing about this show or it's plots or anything make any sense. I still don't even get why the Federation refused to help the Romulans when as far as they knew, the Romulans...

This, it's also telling that on Reddit most actual Picard discussion happens in the Redlettermedia sub and Redlettermedia's videos are by far the most popular discussion place about the show online because the official Star Trek sub literally bans people who are critical of the show. The show...

My god what a terrible episode and a terrible show. Yeah real great in depth character study of Picard we got.

3, Literally the worst Star Trek show ever made hands down. So many massive plot holes, atrocious pacing, mostly everything that happened didn't matter nor even needed to be shown (Pretty much literally everything to do with the Borg cube or Maddox), Picard never acted like Picard and this...

Dumbest episode of the show so far but probably the most enjoyable. Definitely a turn your brain off and just enjoy the absurdity and action episode. The pacing on this show is atrocious though, this probably should have been episode 3 if the show had any competent editors. That said... so the...

What bingo is that? That you guys can't actually address criticisms of these new shows without instantly resorting to derailing and ad hominems? Seriously this nonsense was tiring after you lot defended S1 of Disco as the greatest piece of Star Trek writing and television ever until suddenly...

"Facts" = meaningless Ad Hominem attacks against character to deny that Gene had positive vision for the future he wanted and what Star Trek was. This is one of the things I hate the most about this forum, this nonsense idea that because Gene and Berman weren't the "perfect humans" they...

I honestly just believe at this point the writers don't actually get Star Trek or Gene's vision for the future and I think it's actually deeply rooted in the political outlook of the writers and Showrunners. Gene blatantly had a Socialist-Communistic vision of the future and wanted to explore...

I think personally the direction Trek is going in is going to massively backfire. The problem is these new shows are not good nor interesting and have no hook. They retain nothing really what makes Trek an unique sci-fi franchise and are clearly just trying to be Mass Effect mashed with every...

- Bridge Crew beaming down to perform dangerous missions instead of having a dedicated tactical squad like the MACO's in Enterprise. - Bridge on top of the shop instead of the centre - The Entire Mirror universe. Ugh just kill this concept please, it always just comes off as Teenage Emo's girl...

Yep, that insanely cringe sock sliding scene definitely made me think "We need an entire Trek series of this".

S5 would be great as maybe a three parter Short Series or something with like hour and a half episodes covering the Romulan war. Biggest thing for me to say no to it though is the current Trek writers room and Showrunners. Just god no, dear god no to the current Soap Opera tier staff doing...

No it wasn't. DS9 also did not take place in the Federation. DS9 also made it very clear that Earth was a utopia even if DS9, Bajor etc wasn't. Also if you think DS9 was anti-Roddenberry you don't actually get DS9. The Federation we are seeing in Picard is literally Trump/Brexit era UK/US with...

Like with Discovery I legitimately don't get what show you people are watching where you rate this so highly, the writing, pacing, tone and worldbuilding here is just so, so bad and completely wrong for Star Trek. I know this forum has a bizarre reactionary hatred for Roddenberry and his vision...

What makes it delusional is that the US was good or functional before Trump. Under Obama you had the expansion of the war on terror into multiple countries like Yemen, Libya, Somalia which has resulted in the US basically supporting genocide and turning Libya from the country with the highest...

Action is fine, Star Trek has always had action, the problem with Nu-Trek is that it's just stupid action setpieces that usually have some wildly dumb setup designed to hit those parts of your brain that go "Wow cool, here's some Serotonin! Don't think about all those plotholes or how stupid...

This has always been my problem with Discovery beyond the crappy writing/pacing, it's clearly written by Twitter Blue Checkmark Liberals who think Obama/Clinton was the peak of human civilisation and MSNBC and the NYT are the peak of political discourse and can not conceive really of any society...
