Star Trek Discover failure before the first episode :(

[locutus101]

Call me crazy but I am willing to give the show a chance.

I'm not even going to dignify this idiotic thread by replying to it.




...Ah, shiiiit.

This post is clearly a joke..how many people posit what makes a show a success and then then claims it's a failure by citing one of the things it's been most successful at?

Have you ever frequented a Doctor Who forum?

Star trek Enterprise could have easily been a success had they stayed with the tried and true star trek theme. Instead they tried to make the show more appearing to new audiences (NoN-Trekkies) and devoting much of the series to a futuristic out of time period plot. The last episode of star trek enterprise was a final slap in the face and the slamming of the coffin lid shut on the series.

When I heard about Star Trek Discovery - I thought.... Here at last we are going to have star trek series which reaches back into all that was good about the star trek and the original time period (10 years before). Progressive Hollywood has final learned its lesson not to mess with traditional star trek core values and cannon. We going to get a new star trek series that does not have the short comings of enterprise or the convoluted lets rehash everything in the new non-prime star trek movies.....

But NO... It was all just a hopeful fantasy.... The nightmare is forming even now...

Just exactly what are we going to get with this new star trek series... Out of the mouth of co-creator Bryan Fuller and Heather Kadin executive producer:

" By June 2016, Fuller had "met with a few actors, and it's an interesting process. There's a few people that we like and we want to carry on what Star Trek does best, which is being progressive. So it's fascinating to look at all of these roles through a colorblind prism and a gender-blind prism". A month later, Kaden clarified that the series would feature minority, female, and LGBTQ characters, with the latter being of particular importance to Fuller. "

And there you have it! True and traditional star trek fans! The ultimate slap in the face!

I won't be watching this new start trek...

Set phaser to kill!

Things like this are why the general public sneers at trek fans. No one will miss you not watching

What would Bill Shatner say....

 

[Dukhat]

Considering he just joined today and this is his first post, he is clearly serious. He's also clearly being a troll.

Also, he spelled "original" wrong. Unless "Orignal" is his actual name.

Even so, you'd think he'd at least come back and try to clarify his position.

With what? More nonsensical homophobic drivel?

 

[Aldo]

To be quite honest... yes.

Would love to see what this guy's actual ideal show would look like.

I wouldn't.

Move over, Mirror Universe--Bizzaro World is coming....

So your issue with the new series is that it will feature characters that are cast with the best actor for the job, regardless of race or gender, and LGBT character(s)?

You want it to be more like the original Star Trek?

You know, the one that featured a black woman, a Japanese man, a Russian (at the height of the Cold War) and an alien, all in senior bridge positions?

The one that had the first interracial kiss on US network television?

That one?

Set phaser to dumb.

 

[Commander Keiran MacDuff]

I wouldn't.

I'm imagining it would be some combo of a John Wayne flick and an episode of 7th Heaven in space. His favorite episode is probably "Turnabout Intruder"...

I dunno. A post Nemesis series seems at least as likely as Discovery to have teh gheys. Better cancel any potential future Star Trek, just to be safe. All TV in general, for that matter.

You're definitely on to something there.
