Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x10 - "Hegemony"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Disagree. It's in the name. "Star" and "New Worlds" implies space exploration, not exploring deep interpersonal back stories that you can see in any other random show. It's cheap and easy. Character development is one thing but it should be only enough to support the underlying interesting premise of human space exploration. Which is just overlooked constantly and is why a lot of star trek fails. Nobody cares about Picard's inner struggles with his childhood as he tends to his vineyard- it's boring and has nothing to do with stars or space. So they stop watching. Then the show is cancelled.
So, producers, make more episodes like this one.Enough of the overdone backstory, childhoods, flashbacks - it's easy to do, but reallllly stupid. Thanks!
What a lot of silly things to say. Really.
DIS S3 and 4 are wonderful, well-written, well-directed, and well-acted.
Star Trek: WALL-E and EVE.
Season 3 was "The galaxy is threatened by a unique anomaly that only Burnham can fix for some reason". Season 4 was "the galaxy is threatened by a unique anomaly that only Burnham can fix for some reason, but it's a TNG two parter stretched out to ten episodes".
Nah. It was caused by an alien who through exposure to an exotic element caused a psychic wave to tear through subspace rendering Dilithium inert. You know, Star Trek.
TMP: the crisis was caused by someone in an existential crisis.
Yeah, it sounds silly if you summarize so simply.
That's better.
The cause of the Burn is weird as hell but at least - and this is something you rarely hear anymore in Star Trek - IT WAS ORIGINAL. The weirdness and creativity earned points from me.
Having lost my grandmother about a year before DIS S3 started and having lost my mother about seven months after DIS S3 ended, I gotta say -- I relate pretty deeply to the idea of a grief so profound it tore the galaxy apart.
I'm sorry you were unwilling to open yourself up to a story about real human emotion.
Um, no. The galaxy was not "threatened by a unique anomaly." The Burn had happened well over a hundred years before S3 took place; it was not the current threat, the actions of the Emerald Chain was. Burnham was not involved in the part of the plot that dealt with the origins of the Burn -- she fought the Emerald Chain for control of the Discovery.
Nope. Burnham was part of a team that figured out how to communicate with Species 10-C. She was the leader and the captain, but she was no more the only person able to figure things out than Kirk or Picard or Sisko or Janeway.
Seriously, if you're going to frame the plots dismissively, at least frame them accurately.
It was stupid.
Also the scientific advisor for the current run of Star Trek helped create the cause of the Burn

But it wasn't un-Star Trek like some people would claim.
Nope
I would say it's extremely Star Trek.
