the tos movies rule nd basically encompass everything that star trek is when it's doin its job right in one series

Fungah!
Apr 30, 2011

been working on a theory for a while that the tos movies are basically the entire star trek story continuum in one run

1 - crazy high-concept sci-fi
2 - epic space opera
3 - workaday sci-fi
4 - goofy lighthearted comedy
5 - bad idea taken to extremes
6 - high drama about war and the human condition

that covers like 90% of trek right there

Funny star trek story:

When I was a kid my brother and I found out that search for Spock was on TV at like 2am and we stayed up all night to watch it and he was hyping it up as this awesome movie where Spock comes back to life or something and right before the movie came on it was interrupted by breaking news that Princess Diana died in a car crash and we both got so insanely pissed off we woke our parents up from yelling at the TV

lmao

I saw the first two seasons of Discovery and they were just utter trash

my one buddy whos the biggest star trek fan i know tried to get me to watch s1 and i refused because every trailer looked like dog poo poo, eventually s2 came out and i asked him how it was and he basically started crying

I WILL SAY, picard s3 so far has had multiple scenes of picard and one to three members of th bridge crew rationally discussing a tough situation and coming up with two to three alternative plans before ultimately deciding on the one they think is most likely to succeed. which is the most star trek scenes weve had since ds9 wrapped

It was so weird (as in unusual and unique) to see a male character who loves his son and is shown hugging him and telling him he's proud of him just as a matter of course. Like the ep where Jake says he doesn't want follow in his dad's footsteps and join starfleet and in every TV show ever made sisko would be furious but instead he's just like 'okay well as long as you're happy that's the main thing'

apparently avery brooks and cirroc lofton are still super close years later, they really built up a father-son bond over the show. definitely came through on the camera, theyre one of the best parent/child relationships i've seen on tv

if youre lookin for some decent old-style trek the first four episodes are pretty much self-contained and theyre good, it feels like a good tng movie. gonna finish out the series, maybe it gets better lol

The thing about voyager is it has like 3-4 good characters total, when less than half of your main cast is likable you’re in big trouble

i don't think I cn name more than five main characters off the top of my head nd I could probably do 100 characters each from tng and ds9

thats somethin that good trek really does right, the episode where tht happens sucks in the main iirc but the core characters kick so much rear end that theres always something to grab onto, like there'll be a good character moment or a solid quark/odo bit or a good picard speech or whatever. bring back 26 episode tv

Fungah!
Apr 30, 2011

and hell while i'm thinkin about it thats the number one thing new trek gets wrong about character writing,. the characters in good trek might like each other or be friends or even hate each others guts but at th end of the day they're military officers on a starship. theyve got to act a certain way, they cant fight among the crew for cheap drama or if they do its because somethin is seriously wrong. not even talkin just about the quips although obviously thats the worst offender but no one acts like they're a fuckin professional

i dont watch a lot of trek but it's cool how much more relatable it is than other sci-fi in tv and film. i'm not gonna meet a wookie but i'm probably going to have a work meeting with a guy i don't really like.

yup lol. all those tng episodes where the dilemmas not the string theory alien thats eating part of the ship, its that the guy who can fix it and riker have beef and they need to squash it. thats good fuckin tv
