    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x07 - "Light and Shadows"

    Just watched "Light and Shadows" and I am still processing everything. Overall I enjoyed it. Season 2 is a marked improvement over season 1. Every episode in season 2 seems to have a self contained storyline that is tied to the overarching story via B and C plots. This time the crew faces a...

    Spoilers Q&A With Alex Kurtzman about Season 2 and the Finale

    Alex Kurtzman: I would believe this if it hadn't been for the finale where immediately after only seeing a glimpse of the Enterprise the soundtrack and end credits music comepletely change to that of TOS. :shrug:

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery Season 1: Overall Review Thread

    I rated this season a 6 out of 10. I desperately wanted Star Trek Discovery to succeed. I was probably one of the few fans out there who did not take issue with the various visual updates and was excited about the cast, especially Jones, Yeoh and Isaacs. But it was evident from the first...

    The music on Star Trek Discovery

    :lol: The lack of information is starting to frustrate me also. Still, I doubt they'll announce a composer at the SDCC. Besides, speculation is fun.

    The music on Star Trek Discovery

    I just read that the music on Seth Macfarlane's The Orville will be composed by Joel McNeely and Bruce Broughton. Both composers are IMO absolutely terrific and the soundtrack for The Orville should sound spectacular, especially since it will be recorded by a 75 piece orchestra. Music has...

    Star Trek Discovery teaser

    Love the look of the ship. The triangular hull reminds me a lot of the Klingon D7 cruiser and judging from comments made by other fans I am not the only who made the connection. The militaristic and slightly tribal music might indicate that the Klingons play a large role in this new series...

    Star Trek Discovery

    Wow, I'm surprised by the backlash. I absolutely love the look of the ship.I love the triangular hull design (I wasn't aware of the Planet of the Titans project or Ralph McQuarrie's work prior to this reveal) and I think it really sets it apart from the other series. I'm looking forward to...

    Music Of New Series?

    I absolutely loath the current trend of heavy, dark and brooding soundtracks. Harry Gregson-Williams, Tom Holkenberg and the like are all protogés of Hans Zimmer, one of the most overrated composers of all time. I hope they don't go down that route. I for one would suggest they bring back Ron...

    The First Trailer

    I rather liked that trailer. I get why people are upset or don't feel this is a Trek movie. But if anyone thinks we'll every see an ambitious and serious science fiction Trek film like TMP anytime soon, they're kidding themselves. I really loved ST09 and liked STID (although that one...

    Season SIX OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

    Finished watching the first disc yesterday. There are times that you almost get used to the brilliant quality of the remastering and then there's a shot that takes your breath away. I think you'll all enjoy the remastered effects in Realm of Fear especially. The POV shots of Barclay inside the...

    Season SIX OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

    Very surprised to find my copy in the mail today. The Dutch release was set for today, the 18th, but I just assumed it would be delayed like it has been in the UK, Germany and the US. I guess someone at Universal Benelux didn't get that message. So for the second time, us Dutchies are getting...

    Sharpness and color reproduction are slightly better, but there really is hardly any difference.

    Season FIVE OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

    "Even WESLEY is back!" Ba doo boom. :rolleyes: It would be nice if they return to the more serious tone of the first 3 promo's.

    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Grading & Discussion (Spoilers)

    Re: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Grading & Discussion (Spoile I finally saw DoS yesterday in 3D and HFR. First of all, I have to mention that I adjusted to the HFR much faster than I did while watching AUJ. I couldn't have gotten used to it, since the last time i saw a movie in HFR was...

    Season FOUR OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

    Actually, the opposite is true. Season 4 features some of TNG's best scores. Ron Jones composed some of his most memorable music for episodes like BOBW2, Final Mission, Devil's Due, Night Terrors and of course The Nth Degree. Guest composer and future replacement for Jones, Jay Chattaway scored...

    ENTERPRISE on Blu-Ray OFFICIAL Discussion Thread

    On J Paul Boehmer's IMDB trivia page, it says that Carbon Creek is "universally cosidered among fans to be Enterprise's best episode". That had me scratching my head. I like the episode, but I can name far better episodes.

    ENTERPRISE on Blu-Ray OFFICIAL Discussion Thread

    I think the newly produced special features are a big part of it. Berman and especially Braga have used every opportunity in these documentaries to spin the tale as to why Enterprise was such a disappointment, not just critically but also creatively. Of course it had very little to do with them...

    ENTERPRISE on Blu-Ray OFFICIAL Discussion Thread

    Another review has been posted at Blu-Ray.com. The reviewer calls season 2 the mst underrated season of Trek. Personally, I think it's overrated and I say that with the knowledge that most fans dislike it.

    Season FOUR OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

    Star Trek was never that kind of show. The fact that the writers devoted an entire episode in which they acknowlegde Picard's traumatic experience and have him come to terms with it, was a Trek first and went against the wishes of Roddenberry. At least give the writers credit for that. Star Trek...
