Disco Ending In 2024

[Quinton]

Yeah.. a Mary Wiseman/Tilly show is really what audiences are clamoring for...

As far as the Toronto production studios at Pinewood, they could use some of that freed up budget and space towards Strange New Worlds S3, which is set to lens quite soon.

It's interesting to me that Script Doctor over at Midnight's Edge heard there would be no season three of SNW, by the way, and yet here it comes - and by 'interesting', I mean 'by the way, those people are typically incorrect'.

If MIdnight's Edge said water was wet, I wouldn't believe them.

It’s a crying shame. On reflection. I do wish things had worked out better.

I wonder how the fans of tomorrow will look on it. Given time and perspective I think it’ll be regarded as a kind of fascinating mess.

There’s a coffee table book that needs to be written, warts and all, about how DSC began as a one season idea for an anthology show and ended up being stretched to 5 seasons…

I will miss it. I have always enjoyed spending time with Burnham.

I wonder if the reshoots were to insert Jonathan Frakes. He could say ‘end program’ at the end and DSC was all a dream. That’ll go down well. Ask any ENT fan.

edit - also Saru get’s blown up.

How’s about them for ‘member-berries’? ‘-member when Tucker got blown up?’ '-member when Riker said "end program" and that was the end of Enterprise.'

Dismember-berries!

"Discovery" was a violent action series that never depicted its characters having a regular day. The drama ran too high, and the incidents came too quickly. In the second season, the Discovery teleports across the galaxy to investigate a series of mysterious signals left behind by an angel-shaped time traveler. At the head of the season, it's said there were seven signals to investigate. The show became so involved in battles and races against time that it didn't even bother to find all seven signals. It's such a busy show that it can't even finish its own stories.

Yeah, no.

When "Star Trek Discovery" started playing it safe with the franchise's style - namely Season 3 - I stopped being interested in that series. It's the same reason why I never embraced "Star Trek Strange New Worlds". I could have embraced "Picard", but the writing has always been off the map to me. It seemed as if that particular series had never really recovered from that godawful Season 1 finale. By the way, the Star Trek franchise has been filled with violent action series since the beginning.

Can I just send everyone who is happy about Discovery's cancellation a cookie? Would that make you smile and feel better about life and the fact that some people like Discovery? Would that be ok?

Asking for a friend.

SHhhhhh...that's a secret. Everyone knows that people just fell asleep when Kirk shot them.

“Legally distinct” was where I stopped reading the article.

I think there's a balance Star Trek has to find between doing something new, while simultaneously still being Star Trek.

If you don't do something new, people will get bored of it (I think that's what will eventually happen with SNW), but if you make it too different then people will be turned off because "it's not Star Trek!".

 

[fireproof78]

"it's not Star Trek!"

See my experience with TMP and TNG. Definitely not Star Trek.

 

[Nerys Myk]

It was a spaceship flying around and getting into scrapes, with a side order a moralizing. Sounds like Star Trek to me.

Season 3 is a completely different show from Season 1. It recovered (well parity rebooted) majorly.
People who disliked the first 2 seasons are loving it. People who disliked Discovery are loving it.

I don't understand why anyone who doesn't like the series cares either way. Just don't watch it, and you're in good shape. But why would you celebrate its absence, especially if there are fellow fans DO enjoy it?

Whatever, people can be so petty.

Wut? All seven signals were accounted for. Granted, the seventh showed up after Disco left for the future and was detected by the Enterprise, but it was found all the same.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yep, Spock was the one who conducted the readings from his Science station on the Enterprise bridge. So though only six were accounted for before Michael and the Discovery disappeared from the 23rd century all seven did get acknowledged by season's end.

I didn't write the article

But I think the larger criticism that Discovery, as a show, was often too "busy" is one that I agree with.

 

[The Wormhole]

I didn't write the article

But you did bring it into this discussion.

 

[Mirror Tuvix]

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Celebrate the love. Celebrate the laughs. Celebrate the Disco.

Because they feel personal validation that a show they didn't like and argued about was cancelled.
