Gonna blow that old poo poo the hell up because you just can't have modern Trek without contrived grief, even if only lasts five minutes (or one episode.)

bull3964 posted:They put way too much fiddly detail into something that's going to be airing on a service that has the video quality of 2006 youtube. Those rank pips are going to be unresolvable on CBS all-access. The one thing you get used to when you first put on a military uniform is the way everyone you meet has to lean forward and squint to try and figure out your rank.

In 2245, Starfleet turned its uniform design division over to an experimental artifical intelligence created based on historical records of Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. and the guy who created the Rhythm Nation costume for Janet Jackson.

It pisses me off that this will likely be 4k in Netflix markets and it will have Dolby Digital Plus sound. Meanwhile, in the US, I would have to pay extra to watch it in 720p bitrate starved streaming on a 3rd rate provider, with low bitrate 2 channel audio that sounds worse than the first MP3 I ever listened to. With commercials. I haven't pirated media in over 10 years, but CBS is making a compelling case.

When I was in middle school we had a massive heat wave in April but the (public, non-uniform) dress code was that boys couldn't wear shorts until May 1st. Of course girls were allowed to wear skirts and despite the hypocrisy of this being pointed out to my principal by both students and parents, her mind could not be changed. So one of my classmates, one of the biggest guys, came to school in a very tasteful skirt. There were no disciplinary measures taken because...it was funny. However, we were then warned that no other boys should even think about doing it.

School principal seems like one of those jobs you should only have for 5 years or so. It really seems to just make the people doing it stupid eventually.

Watching the first episode of season 3, Evolution. The opening CGI and cinematography is already noticeably slicker, just like it was with the first episode of season 2.

Accidentally sleeping too late trying to pull an all-nighter is the most teenage thing Wesley's done in the whole series so far.

I like the intense music that's playing as they're being sucked into the neutron star or whatever. I wish there was a way to listen to the track.

Beverly: "What were you doing at 17?" Picard: "Probably getting in more trouble than Wesley." Beverly: "So was I. Isn't that what 17 is supposed to be?" I've been waiting for some kind of acknowledgement of this.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Okay so that's the kind of poo poo I want to see in a Star Trek show. The same, patriarchal-style bridge crew setting over and over again is tired. Comparing those shots of the two captains in the article, the Shenzhou's bridge looks darker than Discovery's. So those early shots of a dark bridge that people were not happy about may just be in the first episode.

Phi230 posted:I'm so glad Wesley isn't in any of the movies First Contact gets a lot done in that first ten minutes. A movie built around them finding out the Borg have a way to get to Earth quickly, with the space battle being the third act would have been great. Make Picard's Borg issues his central conflict, have him use that knowledge to defeat the cube in the end, and do it in a more clever way than "aim there!" Have the sphere disappear into the temporal vortex with the Enterprise in its wake, Enterprise sees assimilated Earth,  , END CREDITS. Then do the meat of First Contact in the next movie. Its would be TNG's equivalent of ST2-4 without it being a total loving retread.Basically they burn through an entire movie at the start of that thing. Also the Enterprise E sucks.

FlamingLiberal posted:Also apparently they wanted Seven of Nine to cameo originally but they ended up using Janeway instead Yeah, Jeri Ryan mentions that in The Fifty-Year Mission. Berman calls her and asks if she's interested in doing the movie and she basically says, "Hell, no, I just spent four years in catsuit hell, I'm happy doing Boston Public, and there's no reason for Seven to be part of the story." FlamingLiberal posted:I think you mean at the beginning during the wedding, I know a lot of cameos got cut for that Wesley was the only cut cameo. They tried to get Ashley Judd to reprise her role as Lefler but she had no interest for the money they offered. Timby fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jun 24, 2017 |

Have the sphere disappear into the temporal vortex with the Enterprise in its wake, Enterprise sees assimilated Earth, The whole "shoot the spot" seemed like a huge deus ex machina thing especially when they had an entire episode dedicated to being unable to cope with fighting a borg cube and another episode where like 50 ships die to a cube they needed to get rid of the cube IMO it should've just been a probe or something that was so small that evaded everyone and the Enterprise detects it and has to chase it, then into the time warp

Ok but this time Picard's link to the Borg gives him the advantage. I don't think it's a problem. Didn't Whoopi Goldberg have a cut Guinan cameo in Nemesis or am I crazy?
