Spoilers Strange New Worlds 1x02 - "Children of The Comet"

[fireproof78]

The last time everyone seemed to be on the same page was when Fuller was announced as show runner for Discovery. That didn't turn out so well, this is looking much more hopeful.

We'll see...

Damn. A thread to discuss a new episode of Trek you aren't able to watch yet? Welcome to how the rest of the world has felt when new Trek aired in the US weeks & months (or years, if you really want to go back a ways) in advance.

That irony has not escaped me.

Hey, haven't they been releasing Picard previews the day after the show airs? They're not doing that for SNW, are they?

there was a scene preview at the end of the ready room, trailers don't usually appear until a couple days later.

EDIT: Oh, the Captain's table scene. That is dynamite.

Why the FUCK is the poll scale reversed from the last one?!?!!!1!1

I'm incensed. This is UNACCEPTABLE and I will write letters to express my profound DISPLEASURE.

Also- fuck off. I won't see this for a week, and by then there will be 47 pages of inanities to sift through.

I was just starting to get over the trauma of the poll order for episode 1. Now it changes again, and I'm re-traumatized!

Each of us carries a secret pain.

I think this thread was opened too late. It should have been opened as soon as the press screeners went out.

 

[Mudd]

I meant to open it the week after Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled, but it slipped my mind. Sorry.

 

[The Wormhole]

I'm genuinely against the idea of opening episode discussion THIS much in advance.

And yet, here you are, posting in the very thread you claim to be opposed to.

I'm oppose to this thread existing already. Where else am I supposed to say that other than in this thread?

In a PM to a Moderator.

 

[Rahul]

Lol I'm sure they'd appreciate that

 

[urbandefault]

Frankly, I look forward to reading a hundred or so page thread on the day the episode is released.

 

[Tuskin38]

That's what they're there for.

Those super filled threads are fun & exciting when they're developing live.
They're not so fun anymore once they're a week old, the discussion has completely derailed, and the most recent five pages are filled with trolls complaining about "woke propaganda" and douchebags telling everyone with the smallest criticism to "just don't watch it", and barely anyone even talking about the episode itself anymore. Kind of what's happening now already.

To try to close on something actually episode-related:
I'm really looking forward to this episode. From the trailers out of the first two episodes, this one looks like the more exciting one. But I'm glad they started with the other one first, which was more of a good (re-) introduction to the Trek formula. And then follow up with this one (hopefully) being a more non-traditional one.

Tell the mods. That's their job!

 

[T'Bonz]

All right guys. I had to wade through all of this junk. If you don't like a thread for whatever reason, JUST SKIP IT.

Jeez. There's more drama here than used to be in my home when I had 3 teenagers.

I'm genuinely against the idea of opening episode discussion THIS much in advance.

Watching something freshly aired and then go to the freshly started discussion is a big part of the community experience on this board.

This thread right now is hurting the SNW community way more than it's doing it any favour. By that logic, you can already open separate episode threads for all the first 5 episodes, which in 5 weeks the lowlifes like me who watched it on premiere day can enter 20-pages long, weeks-old discussions that have drifted far away already.

Seriously, I recommend closing this thread until the airing date.

If you must discuss this episode, you can open something like a "first-5-episodes-advanced-screening"-thread where you can discuss them in your exclusive circle.

But don't do this here.

Oh, shove it. We’ve been doing these forever here. You should have the willpower not to look - or comment.
