Workforce is the two-parter least deserving to be a two-parter in the history of the franchise, I can't believe that anyone recommended it.

Burning_Monk posted:Farscape is a the best anti-star-trek show ever. I don't consider it anti-trek. It's very TOS and pays a lot of homage to the series. Farscape is basically..."imagine Voyager if the writers and producers knew or cared what they were doing".

The prequels aren't "not my Star Wars", they are "not anyone's Star Wars" because they utterly fail as movies like the TNG films or Into Darkness.

Nebakenezzer posted:It's true. Another factor is that TNG-TOS inspired lots of TV shows - some of them which advanced and improved the formula. Once you've seen shows like Firefly, Farscape, or I wanna say early Battlestar Galactica, it's really hard to go back to beige. Culture advances and builds on itself, and ironically the one Trek show that really rolled with it was Deep Space 9: the show that's the black sheep of the franchise. Ironically, Doom was just reinvented to overwhelming critical acclaim! I think it's possible for Star Trek to reinvent itself as well while keeping its core intact; there is certainly space for Star Trek's unbending optimism which has been lacking from the past decade of Sci-fi.

Scorpius is probably the best (TV) sci-fi villain ever, and the writers of Farscape gave their actors immense opportunity to experiment with the bounds of their characters with the occasional batshit-crazy episode. It also manages to have legit tear-jerker moments because you actually give a poo poo about the characters and their fully fleshed-out relationships, even though half of them are puppets or spaceships.

Most people in Starfleet don't go to the academy, much like most people in the U.S. armed forces don't attend West Point/Annapolis. The reqs for the Starfleet academy seem pretty analogous, right down to requiring an endorsment to even apply (in some instances at least).Pakled posted:Which makes it all the more puzzling that Barclay got in.

It can be in the same continuity but still look different. No one expects the ship interior to look like a 60's TV show despite predating TOS by like a decade chronologically. Honestly, who gives a poo poo about artistic license. This is like the 5th? iteration of Klingons in the Star Trek universe, nothing is sacred or immutable in fiction.

King Hong Kong posted:As much as I enjoy DS9, there is a lot of forgettable filler (especially if you don't generally care for the Ferengi episodes) because the writers had a habit of writing several almost indistinguishable episodes for certain characters. I defy you to say that any of the Dax symbiont related episodes are really worth watching. The one where they did the ceremony where she meets Dax's past hosts through their possession of the senior staff owns. Crazy Sisko chewing scenery, Odo living it up, great episode.

Cautiously optimistic. Wasn't expecting much but the production values are a lot better than I was expecting. I hope they actually commit to the concept and not just kill off the captain in the first 3 episodes. Also couldn't care less about visual continuity with TOS...

WampaLord posted:Well "more aggressive" in the sense that they're going to be portrayed as adversaries and not as tense allies. I'll admit I'm picking hairs, but there's unfortunately too many "darker skin = more evil" examples in genre fiction already. Oh, I assumed you were comparing him to the other Discovery Klingons we've seen that are lighter skinned. They seem to be a lot more racially divergent than the TNG/DS9 Klingons were. And I doubt they will be protrayed as evil. Klingons have been at war with the Federation in previous series and were never evil per se.

TNG was exceptionally bad about Prime Directive stuff. There were probably a dozen episodes about cataclysmic events or planetary-wide diseases that Picard didn't want to intervene when they had the technology to just shoot a couple of torpedoes filled with magical science solution and fix everything with no one on the planet being the wiser. Just stupid, stupid writing.

Also they are quite literally military ships that go to war and defend federation planets, even if that's not always the focus of the show.
