Eh. It's really tedious. Like, every action scene is about twice as long as it needs to be. By about the fifth minute of scrambling around punching Klingons when Khan shows up, I was already fatigued, then it just kept going.

The finale being like ten solid minutes of Spock punching Khan in the face gets to the point of absurdity.

The, "my name is Kkkkkkkhannnnnnn" reveal was cringe inducing. Cumberbatch is a good actor, but not in that trainwreck.

Also 2 minute warp from Klingon space to Earth?

there was a startrek.com article last year that argued the delta shape was the fleetwide logo during TOS, it was intended, and it works if you ignore one episode that errored after the “use the delta for other crews” mandate went down - omega glory I think

Sounds insufferable.

So Starships had the delta, Command had the flower, Merchant Marine had the butt, and outposts had the wierd fish, and then you can fanwank the early starships we saw with their own insignia as being on special missions or task groups or something that has their own insignia.

I assume shirts with butts on them are what happens when someone tries to pull rank on a supply officer.

Greybeard in the back there makes me wonder what character Marc Maron would play on Trek.

e: Also, if you told me that was Paul/Leto Atreides from a canceled 90's miniseries I would believe you

And she sure as gently caress isn't going to retype that whole thing for one typo.

It's not actually star trek, its Paul and Leto from a cancelled Dune miniseries that was going to air in the 90s

picturing Star Trek where some episodes have the conceit that the Enterprise can't go into warp because Geordi is out of space drugs

Did that ship always have a spinning saucer section? I don't remember that from the few episodes I tried to watch.

Fishstick posted:

It does. "Needlessly things are spinning" is a common thing in that show. There's some "basic landing pods" in one episode that have constantly rotating gyros and lights on them for whatever reason. So many stuff in Discovery is overengineered to such a degree that it reminds of those Dahir Insaat videos.

FlamingLiberal posted:

They only used those pods the one time too

So I'm on s5e16 "Ethics" in TNG, the one where Worf wants to kill himself because he's been paralyzed in an accident. They clearly wanted this to be a deep moral/ethical dilemma episode, but it's hilarious how blase everyone except Riker and Crusher are about the whole thing: "Welp, it's the Klingon way, cripples just have to kill themselves. " When it's already been established multiple times in the course of the series that asking Worf for guidance about 'the Klingon way' is like asking Forest Whitaker's character in 'Ghost Dog: Way of the Sumarai' about 'the Japanese way'. Hell, Picard is actively arguing in favor of him killing himself and against treatment.

Discovery is best when it’s trippy shroom trek. Do that more, Disco.
