the pentaverate is pretty much just a bog standard mike meyers comedy, there’s a few decent jokes but it’s pretty weak overall

Lower decks is the only star trek left where the writers: * Unabashedly love star trek * Have a sense of humor about how stupid that is * Have a sense of humor in general * Know the canon * Know how to tell a story If they can't make a TV show work, then the star trek ip was doomed anyway.

He hosts the Patreon podcast Action Boyz along with Jon Gabrus and Ryan Stanger (two more of those guys), and has great guest spots on Comedy Bang Bang. He's the Gooniest non-poster non-programmer I've ever seen, with a jaded personality straight out of YOSPOS

Beeftweeter posted:lower decks is unfortunately pretty uneven but "i, excretus" should be required viewing for trek fans. it definitely has its moments. if you're on the fence the ep i mentioned is hilarious, but there is actually a legit storyline throughout the series too

like everything post ds9 has been further and further back in the timeline besides like picard i guess. i watched two episodes each of all the modern trek shows before writing all of them off. lower decks was ok but im not getting paramount+ for it the rest of modern trek is bad.

You plug your concept into the algorithm and it either tells you that idea has never been tested therefor making a movie or show questionable in profitability, or it spits out a script that will hit all the right targets for profitability. So you end up with a product where none of the dialogue feels human, all the sets are cgi'd, and none of emotions that are trying to be portrayed feel real.
