Super Deuce posted:It's a dig against bad writing. Because this show has bad writing. This show is supposed "made for" teenagers, not about them. Mariner is one of the worst written characters TV has ever had.  Doesn't it get you down being so negative all the time? There's plenty of things out there that I think poorly of, but I don't go out of my way to obsess over it. Ain't nobody holding a phaser to your head and making you watch it. I know you've implied before that anyone who doesn't like modern trek here will get shouted down or banned. From my perspective at least - it's just your poor attitude which is not well received. Moreover you seem to actively enjoy getting riled up by things rather than, for example, responding with a constructive and well-reasoned counter-argument to The_Doctor's posts (which you are welcome and encouraged to do on this Star Trek discussion thread). There's likely no point in my posting this, it seems the universal constant in all of Star Trek is that there will always be some fans who hate. This type of 'fan' confuses the life out of me, but it is what it is and seemingly always will be. You do you, I won't try and pathetically gatekeep how one should consume Star Trek - I just find the amount of effort you put into disliking things to be perplexing. By the way I agree with some of where you are coming from - I really didn't care for Mariner's yawn bit at the start of the episode but I'll wait to see the season as a whole package before doubling down on claiming she's one of worst written characters TV has ever had. There were some good moments with Mom and I'm starting to view Mariner as someone who finds the bottom rung of the ladder to be actively fulfilling (in a time when there's no salary) and as someone who, despite her bravado, genuinely considers this lower strata of crew to be the true linchpin of starfleet rather than senior officers. After being thoroughly underwhelmed by Acting Captain Riker's copy/paste fleet in PIC, I am hoping to see some familiar starship classes in animated form before this season of LDS is over. Nice to see some starfleet variety with the upcoming Vancouver but that's a previously unseen ship class right? It has familiar elements but I don't recognise it, I agree with previous posters who were reminded of a Sabre class.

CharlestheHammer posted:Most sane people think it was gently caress, because you probably aren’t going to see the other word on non prestige tv again My (male) husband and I did simultaneous "Did she just....." when we initially heard it. While it's not my job to tell you the sexuality of the regular posters here, I'm not the only queer trek poster and I'm not the only one who did this double take. Our own perspectives and lived experiences make some of us reach different conclusions on what we heard at first - the uncensored clip demonstrates a weird line read; sounds more like fox than fucks so the slight ambiguity here created the opening for incorrect interpretation. CharlestheHammer likely hasn't had to endure the high school experience of getting called that word almost every single day as a teenager. If they get to make broad baseless assumptions about the sanity of LGBTQI posters here, then I get to assume they are a 30-40 year old white straight cis-male american, and I will not have one of those tell me what is and is not sane. I still don't understand why the beep anyway, they don't take this censored approach with DIS or PIC. If CBS think that this show is going to open up the teen market for star trek, instead of the usual trekkie cohort, then they're the ones who need their sanity questioned.

Adrian/Sanjay Pavone was Ensign Hazmat. This guy: https://readthemike.com/a-conversation-with-sanjay-pavone/ This week's guy was credited as Passing Crew Member and is called Xavier Lopez. They aren't even close to the same height? That snide saudi joke targeting two completely different non-white actors is a pretty ugly look for you. Perhaps too much time spent posting in US Politics threads mate?

Rick Sternbach did the design for the prommie and considering the original brief, it's amazing it ended up as OK as it is! Initially faced with the design challenge of a ship which: split into 5 autonomous pieces looks starfleet but extremely advanced autonomous pieces must also look coherently good must make sense within existing rules; warp core, impulse engines etc. Imagine five!  Drone tech is one aspect of technological development where pre-CBS-AllAccess-era trek mostly missed the mark by a significant margin.

Phylodox posted:I always thought yellow alert basically meant “shields up” and red alert meant “shields up and weapons armed”. Maybe I played too much Starfleet Command as a kid but I did comment to husband that it was unnecessary for Michael to order shields up a minute after calling a yellow alert. Yellow Alert = Shields up.

Brawnfire posted:You know what... you KNOW what? Why don't they just scrap the Section 31 show idea (if they haven't already) and make a Mirror Universe show........... Feels like a tangent. What if it's not a tangent and they've decided to blend it with the contractual obligations for the S31 show idea? The show still probably isn't beyond a rough draft, however I do feel less meh on the S31 show which involves Empress Georgiou's mirror S31 doing good across the quadrant from the shadows, and slowly effecting positive change!

The Bloop posted:Them jumping with that gigantic enemy ship after it touched them with a noodley appendage has such loving stupid implications I can barely believe they did it If only these hewmons were more like the Tau'ri who adapted Asgard transporters to deliver nukes to Wraith ships. Just equip Disco with space harpoons, latch onto enemy ship, jump into the deep void between galaxies and jump off leaving their target to experience a slow lonely death in the endless abyss.

In the Disco S4 trailer I think it is Mr. Rhys who dies during their first encounter with the anomaly. I know the bridge set is loving huge and he could be standing off to the right, but you can see Bryce but no Rhys I know this is speculation, but it's from a trailer and I'm reasonably confident.

PIC S3 Trailer: Have now seen it on a big screen instead of mobile and noticed the following on a re-watch: Guinan portrait on the wall when Picard is approached in the restaurant by Starfleet. Off to the left in same restaurant there's a poster for something called "Frontier Day" with a Starfleet Delta containing what appears to be a constitution class ship at the centre. Amanda Plummer's ship is the Shrike. Amanda seriously channeling her father in her first appearance on screen when she rotates round in the command chair. That's one of Geordi's kids on the Titan's bridge Is Raffi on a Romulan world? A LOT of Starfleet at the spacedock fireworks scene. I'm seeing that Galaxy type refit and the new type Excelsior to name a few. Could be a deceptive angle but also spotted a few potential Norways. My own mindless speculation - spacedock fireworks are part of aforementioned Frontier Day celebration and Plummer's character carries out a successful attack on it. Maybe the F gets smoked in the first act?!

Matlas bailed on season 2 after a couple of episodes to fully focus on the 3rd season and left it to inexperienced juniors, and it shows in the final product. The quality drop after S2E2 is brazen.

Watched most recent Lower Decks last night with my husband as a distraction from the death of a parent earlier in the week. What a catharsis that was, Sulu's thoughts on death helped me move on from shock, and commence grieving. Never thought a Star Trek cartoon could make me cry, but there you have it! Also I always love seeing the beautiful city I call home on screen, mate!

Khanstant posted:It's so stupid they went so far out of their way to yank her evil mirror twin to bring her back to the universe instead of just going out of their way to bring a good one back. Now you are making me think this whole thing will climax with S31 Georgiou intercepting the boarding transporter stream during Battle of Binary Stars. Captain Georgiou is spared her fate, and Empress Georgiou takes her place, is killed by T'Kuvma, and views this as an attempt to pay for her evil deeds through self-sacrifice. Bonus points for a reunion scene at the end between OG Phillipa and a profusely sobbing Michael.
