Anyone afraid The Red Angel reveal will be a letdown
- Thread starter Dales

I understand why some people were letdown on Lost, but I'm not really sure what was the big letdown over Cloverfield (unless one just doesn't get and/or like found footage films) or (especially) Into Darkness.
That said, I'm not really that concerned over a letdown at all. I don't really care who or what it is. The other things in this season are what have my interest more than that.
JJ had practically zero to do with Lost and how it ended. Just for the record.
Winona Kirk.
Best case scenario: It's a kooky unexpected return for a Trek alumnus, with a huge WTF reveal.
Next best: It's an interesting new character
Worst case: It's someone from Discovery with a weakly developed motivation for what they're doing.

As I never expected the Red Angel's resolution to be particularly groundbreaking or shocking, it will have to work very hard indeed to let me down.
In my experience, very few people work very hard. Or hard in general.

Yes, I forgot about that.
For all your Bad Robot trivia, consult me. I am a treasure trove of useless information.
Every professional writer knows more than armchair critics about how to do what they are doing.
Good batters strike out and legendary quarterbacks get sacked. That does not make the sports-obsessed couch potatoes shouting at their big screens the athletic equals of the players. Even the third-string players and bench warmers are better at the game than 99.99% of the fans.
I'm not sure I understand that sportsball reference. This is a Star Trek board, please use science metaphors
As long as it’s not Archer.
The red helmet comes off and we are treated to an inspiring speech about gazelles.

The difference between this and writing is that the sports fans might be experts at the strategy of the game, and just aren’t physically able.
For writers I think a better analogy is “No plan survives the first encounter with the enemy”. The critics and viewers at home aren’t party to the production challenges. It’s one thing to be able to spitball great story ideas, it’s another to get a crew of hundreds with a fixed budget, time constraints and studio politics to produce it and still have it look as good as you imagined.
