Television The Star Trek Thread V6.0

[Clippy]

As a hardcore TNG nerd I take issue with this. Worf and Data were never close. If it was Levar Burton and Brent Spiner together it would make sense, or if it was Michael Dorn with Jonathan Frakes as anyone familiar with TNG would know that Worf considered Riker his closest friend. He even asked Riker to help him commit ritualistic suicide

I don't know Brent spiner doesn't look too happy in that picture

You try sitting on a cramped airplane smelling gagh farts all afternoon and we’ll see how much you’re smiling

Thanks for the advice Wesley, but that was what I already decided to do.

Well, it's a super unimportant ship

Sounds like a recipe for a great show.

 

[Philo-Publius]

Could there be anything more disgraceful than creating a living Star Trek emblem that is depicted in this fashion?

We both know the answer to that question.

Every single character on the show is emotionally unstable

Now the guys on his knees punching himself in the face and crying

These are characters that the youth of today can identify with. Being "emotionally unstable" is fashionable now, so young people strive to be that.

Maybe they’re meant to be representative of present day millennials who stereotypically are a mess and complain about “adulting” and other cringeworthy bullshit. Maybe one of them will order avocado toast from the replicators and then talk about Harry Potter or something.

All of these characters would wash out in the academy.

Wanna feel old. Enterprise premiered 19 years ago today. Let that sink in

I remember when I didn't care for it at first because it felt too different from Voyager DS9 and TNG


Poor young naive Clippy

Never watched Star Trek.

Just started The Next Generation and I’m currently on episode 5. Loving it so far, is this a good starting point?

Yes.

 

[Dober4]

Yes.

Only corny episode in my opinion so far was the one with the lizard and dog people visiting the ship.

Still enjoying it and will keep watching, I think it still holds up quite well.

I watched The Orville and can now see where the inspiration came from.

It wasn't a perfect show (especially seasons 2 and 3), but it had a lot more positives than negatives.

I think that is clearly what they are doing. You're supposed to teach our youth good values though, not play into their bad habits. I think it tells you something about the "adults" writing these shows. It seems they may have also had bad influences and never grew out of them.

What a fucking clown.

I wonder how it feels to be hated by 99% of the community in the franchise that he's mainly known for?

 

[Philo-Publius]

The first time I watched Star Trek (2009), I overlooked it's flaws for some of its redeeming qualities. When I watch it now though, the flaws greatly overshadow any redeeming qualities it has. Kirk and Spock were both poorly cast, and the sequels highlighted that fact even more. You just can't replicate those original characters. It's cool seeing the original faces in this video.

...and there we have it. Finally, raw data on actual US viewership of STD proving that the show has no real audience.

Did you think airing 4 year old content with little to no advertising, was going to generate huge ratings? Its free content for them to air, while they have a limited amount of new shows.

I guess that's why season 4 started filming this week in Toronto. You know most shows, with no audience get early season renewals. Oh wait they don't....

 

[sverre054]

It made me chuckle....

TNG came out on this day in 1987
