Again with the Disco Ferengi? They added texture to the skin, but otherwise it's the exact same look they've had since the late 80s.
Poll Is continuity important?
- Thread starter F. King Daniel
- Start date
Interesting that the poll is pretty much 50/50.
Oh god, can you imagine if they'd tried that, at a time when all of the actors from TOS were alive, in good health, and still working? Fans would have RIOTED.
Exactly. People need to make it their own, even if they're changing things for the worse. They need to be able to point to something and say, "Look, I did that!" And if it's already been fixed, then by god, they'll start "fixing" it more.
BTW, I hadn't heard about the Ferengi being featured on DSC, so I did an image search on it. Looks like a raisin that's been left out in the sun for too long.

Just pointing out the openings, not what the reactions would've been.
It seems a lot in life is this way especially when it comes to allot of things on TV and politics. Usually a 50/50 split. It's strange.
I disagree. Why, I bet at least 49% of the people here think that it ISN'T a 50/50 split!
47.8% voted that they care, 45.6% voted that they don't mind... seems like 93.3% of people would be perfectly satisfied with strong continuity.
Satisfied is a different question than is continuity important.
Over half of the 93.3% of people who'd be satisfied by strong continuity say that it is important.
Or that 45.6% of people are utterly indifferent to the question.
Not gonna lie, kind if dispairing about how many here are obsessed with continuity. Kind of explains a lot of what goes on here, I guess.
Indeed.
Definitely explains my own reaction to it. The level of importance is very difficult for me to understand.
Oh, come on. When you're watching a series, it's better if they can keep a fair amount of internal continuity surely? Okay, so an actor might move on but the character stays - which can be tricky - but who'd want to watch an ongoing show where the stuff that the story is supposed to hang on keeps changing all the time without explanation?
Welcome to Hopwood, a large/small town/farm in the suburbs/countryside/remote mountains/another planet - depending on who wrote this episode. Meet lead character Zo, a man/woman/to be decided of possibly Earth origin but we're not sure, depends on what's to hand in the make-up department that day, who's the local law / doctor / landowner / meh, whatever...
because we don't believe continuity is important, so we're not going to be consistent but refuse to admit it is really a series of stand-alone dramas/comedies/mockumentaries because of it.
Crikey. I expect that'll be the big streaming hit for 2025 after that pitch. Royalties to the usual, please, anyone who decides to run with it.

Luckily no one is advocating for that, nor is that actually happening anywhere in the franchise.
You're describing an anthology show.
No, they describe utter nonsense that has nothing to do with what has been suggested at any point in this thread.
