Television The Star Trek Thread V6.0

[JDragon]

I thought 1st episode of Discovery was a good reset. The first and past parts were well done, but the middle had too much Star wars and just band sci tropes for me. I thought the new main character Booker, was a good addition and humanizes Burnham, which has always been an issue with the way she is written. It was fun seeing a pretty interesting mix of species on the planet. We finally saw another Laurian(Morns people) 7.5/10

Spoiler

I enjoyed Burnham on drugs. Also, the guy still holding out for Starfleet got me somehow.

I did realize what a huge issue with Picard and Discovery is. It's talking about Starfleet values instead of living them, it's talking about Starfleet stuff instead of doing Starfleet stuff. I still have to catch up on LDX, but I think it's promising to be different in that regard despite its inherent silliness. The Pike series hopefully might go there.

In any event, I don’t mean it as a knock against you personally, I’m just saying that I’ve generally hated everything released under the Star Trek banner for the last 11 years, while you haven’t. As such, I recognize our tastes are vastly different, so if you give season 3 of Discovery a thumbs up it won’t mean anything to me.

Star Trek is doomed I tell you, doooooommmeeddd! Kurtzman also just said in an interview, that he recently met with CBS to plan out a rough time line for trek, going to at least 2027. Not bad for a franchise some claim is always on the verge of being canceled and must be getting horrific ratings....
CBS offically confirms season 4 of Discovery


Production on the new season will resume Nov. 2.
Star Trek: Discovery will return.

A day after its third-season launch, CBS All Access has handed out a fourth-season renewal for the cornerstone of its rapidly expanding Star Trek franchise. Production on the new season will resume Nov. 2. A return date has not yet been determined.

Franchise captain Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise will continue to serve as co-showrunners on season four of the drama from CBS TV Studios and starring Sonequa Martin-Green. Paradise in season three became the third showrunner to pilot Discovery. Kurtzman, who co-created the series alongside Bryan Fuller, took over for Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg after the duo were dismissed early in production of season two. Harberts and Berg replaced Fuller, who was also let go before Discovery's debut.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter's TV's Top 5 podcast this month, Kurtzman said he had the future of the Star Trek franchise mapped out through 2027. Discovery is the flagship of the Star Trek universe for CBS All Access, which, like other streamers, does not release viewership information. A Discovery spinoff, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, starring Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca Romijn was recently ordered to series at CBS All Access.

That marks the third live-action Star Trek series and fourth overall for CBS All Access, joining the flagship Discovery, Patrick Stewart vehicle Picard and forthcoming animated series Lower Decks. Another Discovery spinoff — Section 31, starring Michelle Yeoh — is also in development for the streamer. A younger-skewing CG-animated series was recently picked up for CBS All Access corporate sibling Nickelodeon. All of them are exec produced by Kurtzman. All of the series hail from CBS TV Studios (where Kurtzman is under a rich overall deal), Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.

CBS All Access poised to be rebranded as Paramount+ as parent company ViacomCBS looks to broaden the platform to include more brands from its vast portfolio

Seven plus years more of Kurtzman Trek?

Pretty interesting article, on how the entire seasons post production, was completed from the workers homes. That includes the full orchestra, who each individually recorded themselves, and then the composer mixed each instrument into the soundtrack.

A little oversight by the STD writers.

According to Book, the Gorn "destroyed two light-years worth of subspace" while attempting to creating artificial wormholes, to which Burnham replies "the Gorn did WHAT?" The biggest curiosity here isn't whatever mischief the Gorn have been getting up to, but how Burnham has even heard of the species. The aforementioned "Arena" episode marked the moment of first contact between Starfleet and the Gorn, and was set in 2267. The Discovery departed for the far-future in 2258, so its crew should have no idea who the Gorn are, yet Burnham's line suggests exactly the opposite.

I have mostly hated new Trek, but the first episode of this season was promising. It had issues but it was really enjoyable.

Full disclosure, I liked the first episode of Picard and that series ended up being garbage, so we'll see.

Ha! Just more shitting on Star Trek lore by the hacks doing Discovery. At least I’ll give some credit to the Lower Decks writers and assume they wouldn’t have made that mistake.

The Gorn were in Enterprise as well.

The Gorn were in Enterprise as well.

Only in the Mirror Universe episodes. There was no canon violation there.

No, Lower Decks will just do a host of other even more horrible shit.

I really thought that S03E02 of Discovery was good.

I really thought that S03E02 of Discovery was good.

It was good. I like Saru really establishing himself as the leader.

 

[JDragon]

It was good. I like Saru really establishing himself as the leader.

More importantly, it felt like Trek to me.

That was an excellent episode from an excellent show.

Depressing. lol

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

That was a great episode. And fucking LOL at Troi after watching Riker berate pretty much everyone on the bridge “Will, I can sense how upset you are. You’re angry and impatient...”

Those amazing empathic abilities <Lmaoo>

I have wanted this for years. I really wish I had confidence in the writers to do it correctly, and true to DS9...

Glad hes lobbying for Cirroc but woof, without Ira Steven Behr who actually tackled racism in incredible episodes, I wont trust the current brainchild to do it justice. Nu-Trek is simply bad. Any popularity it has at all comes from the undying loyality of fans. But if anything we might get some kind of closure, even if it was just "10 years later the Prophets spit Sisko back to corporeal universe". I'm betting the show will take place on Earth. It will be a big departure from all the DS9 alien races and focuses on human racism in the 24th century. But unlike Picard, Sisko at least doesn't need Starfleet to be compelling as he was always grounded to Earth. Something like Sisko comes back, finds Earth has changed to the grim dark Picard style, tries fixing it, terrorists start grouping, lazers.

Sadly that is a BS new source. They search Twitter and 4chan for their stories and are almost always wrong.

I would love for it to be true, but the fact of the matter is Avery Brooks hasn't been seen in public for nearly a decade. From reports I have read, he is not in the best of health. His last acting credit is almost 20 years old at this point.
