Just because all the discovery ships look like factory reject butt plugs does not make it ship porn

I'm glad to see more people liking this opener. If the show actually has gotten better (I am not able to tell) then that only makes the "nobody besides gringos are allowed to legally watch" decision all the more infuriating.

The president’s deconstruction of Burnham of why she’s unfit to captain a proper starship was both correct and good. Nice bit of self-awareness, Discovery.

I just remembered that they have the Holowall tech this season so the actors probably actually saw that spacedock graphic while doing the scene.HD DAD posted:The president’s deconstruction of Burnham of why she’s unfit to captain a proper starship was both correct and good. Nice bit of self-awareness, Discovery. The implication that she's only in charge of Discovery because they're all misfits from the 23rd century and she's the best one of them for the job.

Yeah there were a few behind the scenes shots of it. One thing I wish they'd do is adapt the tech so that the screens on Discovery's bridge are all mildly inset-3D all the time for elements like datasets or wireframes or maps. It'd basically be the same type of application of camera-tracking protection mapping - with the result being a more advanced version of this - and it'd be cool looking and let them have subtle 3D bits to the displays in every single station in every single shot without having to FX up floating holograms all over the place.

ST:D isn't listed on Netflix here anymore. I guess I have to watch it on the DVR. --edit: "...will be available internationally in 2022 as Paramount Plus expands globally" Oh dear, yet another streaming service. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Nov 18, 2021 |

That episode, like all of the rest of the show, was horrible. Stop putting the camera in the zipper ride at the carnival.

Senor Tron posted:I choose to read it as an intentional thing. This crew are all in a shared state of denial about the fact they have truly left the 23rd century behind. This is a cool angle but there is zero chance they've put that kind of thought into it. They know they got blasted for being too pessimistic and dark and they are genuinely trying to overcorrect by forcing in all the goobing for the camera and suckin off fed values etc. If I were looking for an in-universe explanation for their acting and script choices, I would say that the spore drive or something else on the ship just makes everyone a little high and more emotional than usual. Hellblazer187 posted:yeah, I just know everyone here hates it. Straight up big stan of the spore drive here and it makes way more intuitive sense to me than subspace warp travel whatever the gently caress is going on.

Taear posted:Maybe in some european countries? Definitely not all of Europe. To be completely honest, B5 looked janky when it was first run, so that's not necessarily a feature of the remaster. It's part of its charm, and doesn't mean I don't love it.

It's not dissimilar from Burn-mom's dressdown in the Ni'Var episode, and Spock's analysis in Season 2 about her emotional need to save the galaxy. The writers are aware of how Burnham is being perceived but they keep writing her that way. https://twitter.com/alexandertperry/status/1461341453720956928?s=20 Doug Drexler seems to be very optimistic about the show. Could be because Akiva Goldsman has been putting his attention to Strange New Worlds? xerxus fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Nov 18, 2021 |

Do we want to continue using spoilers for new episodes for an extended period now? You know, since Paramount/CBS decided most of the known world should wait another six months to watch the show for some reason.

Completely off-the-cuff theory: The Kelvans are firing gravity bullets at the Milky Way in retaliation for what Kirk did to their scouting party.

They should really stop installing flamethrowers on the ships. Also wonder if those are programmable rocks in the consoles now. And if everyone is going to make the  face every line the entire season or what.I liked the butterfly weirdos.

I don't think so, the rest of the world knows how to google and find where it's streaming illegally. This place still doing archaic rules about files or are we allowed to at least say PrimeWire or whatever? Brawnfire posted:Oh, the audience hates this about the character? Then it's a character flaw. Enjoy! Michael on paper is one of the more interesting captains. In the show she probably would be too if they had made up their minds about her at any point. Person with the time-travelling mom inventor, a step-vulcan upbringing, pivotal to her Brother Spock's humanity, weird mutiny --> rescued from prison by evil captain on magic spaceship, has a relationship with a human dude who is actually a different klingon dude with some hosed up surgery and brain-fuckery, saves federation from section 31's mess, goes into future, toys around as han solo for a while, and then stops a space baby from crying or did she just punch a green lady? Trouble is everything just flashes by, nothing is examined, who she is swings from episode to episode. I don't think anyone who jumped on season 3 or 4 would really get any sense that Burnham was ever raised in Vulcan society.

Prodigy had a Bakshi Lord of the Rings reference with the evil robot skulking with the crew under some roots, that's pretty loving cool. Also it's looking like Gwyn is gonna take over as captain with Dal as XO so that will be nice, good to have the most competent one in charge

I let Discovery season 1 play a few episodes a time or two after it cruelly autoplays itself and I was laughing at Michael in her Vulcan hair-cut, still trying to do some reserved-Vulcan acting. I think it's pretty much as soon as the mutiny starts or is over that she permanently changes character to full-blown regular human.

I'm just lucky to not have heard it I reckon, I associate references it with those who might be parents. Like all prejudices it makes only a fool of me. Who voiced the head of the moth monstermen? It sounded really familiar, II almost thought it was Saru at first.
