NuTrek's big, controversial premises

[fireproof78]

Spite is a powerful emotion. Everyone on my wife's side of the family were convinced we wouldn't make it. We showed them.

Lost three friendships because they were convinced similarly.

18 years this June.

I feel like one of the issues with the short and galaxy-threatening storyline seasons was that we rarely got to see the people in relationships actually just enjoying having their relationships. Where was the fun?

This is a fair critique, but one of my favorite episodes was the movie night one in Discovery Season 3. So, there was some fun to be had but it was smaller moments.

But, I'm not one to be bothered by universe ending threats so I'm sure my opinion is unique.

Fun was had on the Disco.

This was why I find DS9 to be the most balanced (as well as the best) series in the franchise. It certainly had dark material, but it had an equal amount of light material. We got to know everyone. We saw practical jokes being played in small doses (Dax giving O'Brien a flute from Bashir to charm the voles in the station, Dax moving Odo's furniture around a few centimeters here and there, etc.), we saw dart games, we saw Sisko cooking dinner for his family and crew... we got to be immersed in their lives. And THAT kind of connection really bonds you to these characters.

After all, what are these people fighting to save if we don't understand what they are saving?

Sure, lives matter. But living matters more. Seeing all those little scenes peppered everywhere shows us exactly WHAT our heroes are fighting for.

Yeah, if you're always in crisis mode, there's no time for games. Any fun or quiet moments that are added seem forced or inappropriate for the situation.

I think DS9 is good, but it also ends up being the least rewatchable of the pre-CBS series.

I find it the most rewatchable of all the shows.

Different strokes, etc.

I haven't done a full DS9 rewatch in a long time...because I'd rather watch new things than rehash old things...but individual episodes? I've watched DS9 probably more than any of the others.

I wasn't sure what kind of monster you were, but I knew you were a monster!

I can live with it.

At least Farscape didn't poison a planet...#facetious

So…how about those controversial premises?

DARKNESS was the best of them.

With TOS-R, quite a few ships have two different canonical appearances in the same continuity. I'm not sure there's a good reason why the Discoprise/NCC-1701(OG) situation is fundamentally different.

I really wish they hadn’t made the changes they did. Some of those changes were just change for changes' sake, some were an attempt to make TOS look more like ENT, and some were so ridiculously unnecessary that one wonders why they bothered to waste time and budget money (did the Gorn really need blinky eyes?)

They also did TOS-R on the cheap, and it showed.

If they needed to change the FX for HD, they should have just made a frame-by-frame reconstruction to make the shots look like how they looked before, only in HD. Instead they went the Star Wars Special Edition route.

To me, the Tholian ship will always look like how it looked in TOS, not that silly ENT-ified thing they came up with (just to use one example.) I find TOS-R very easy to ignore, just like I find the DSC/SNW aesthetic very easy to ignore as far as continuity goes.

Ideas for new great Trek? Let a ship full of Vulcans fly trough space and discover emotions

Same here. I love all the Berman shows. But DS9 is different. So many layers the other shows never had.

 

[Dar70]

I not sure what they can do at this point to make it different. I think all the ideas have been used up. Maybe have a show based on a Starfleet colonization of a remote planet. Idk. Or as someone else said travel to a new galaxy and have the show set up there. But they would need a quick way to get to another galaxy.

No. The next iteration of Star Trek is going to be a reboot of Kirk, Spock and the NCC-1701, for the fourth time over.

Take a real chance and reboot the Berman era. Then sit back and watch the fireworks.
