We need to, because they are the only ones fighting against Chrome monopoly. It’s so sad to read news like this

The Kelvin line of movies is 100% non canon in my head. It’s good they made a separate parallel universe, so I can pretend it never happened and just go on enjoying the rest of the trek

Which fuckup, except for DIS season 1?

Doctor comes from latin (from the verb docere - to teach) and basically means teacher, or someone with enough knowledge in a field to teach. The term is still used as an academic title, but in different way in different countries. For example, while in english speaking countries ot is used for someone who completed their PhD (phylosophæ doctorate), so someone with enough knowledge to do research and teach to an academic level, in Italy the title “dottore” is given to any who got a degree, even a Bachelor’s, so a physician is a doctor in medicine because they graduated in medicine.

Maybe it’s “lights on” since it looks like the previous captain forgot to pay the bills

Then you should try DS9 as it’s a good balance of episodic and story arc driven

So you become the brotherhood of steel

In Discovery, instead of honorable warriors, the klingons are a bunch of sneaky backstabbing and coward warriors. They also don’t look like klingons at all, both in appearance and architecture, the speak like their mouth is full of potatoes and for some reasons they make ships out of coffins.

I’m not against change, what I don’t like is calling another thing with its name just because you get to be part of a franchise. The only thing they have in common with klingons of other series is the language and that they want to kill. All the modifications they made, just for the sake of it, makes it look like they wanted to use the standard scifi appearal of standard bad aliens and just put the name “klingons” on it. No surprise they reverted this change and discarded all of this in season two.

Btw “the klingons started growing their hair again” might be the single most stupid line I’ve ever heard in a Trek show, especially considering the reason why it was said.

Everything about klingon for example, the spore drive itself. Even the uniforms!

Honestly, I liked it much more than I thought, given what I saw on YouTube before watching the entire season, especially the klingon battles. After season 1 it gets much better, which seems to be a recurring theme in Trek shows, but for a very different reason herr.

Altought I really don’t like most character (especially Burhnam) and I find most of the representation of seasoned officers overly dramatic and silly (looking at you Tilly), most of the themes are well treated and some episodes were particularly good (I enjoyed the mirror episodes more than I could think possible given the first episodes).

Sometimes it feels a very generic scifi show and it doesn’t get me too attached, but it’s a decent enough show to keep watching.

I feel like the problem with Discovery is the same of the warp 10 episode in Voyager. A bunch of people create the most OP way of travelling and barely use it, and don’t tell me that the ship is unique and Stamets is the only person in the universe in the following centuries to be able to use it, because that just doesn’t make any sense, it’s a cheap trick to justify why such an incredible technology has never been mentioned after, not even by a super villain that gives no crap about genetic augmentation.

At least with Voyager you could just write it off as a badly written episode, but you cannot ingore a whole series. Yes even TNG had some magical guy make the ship travel fantaszilion light years, but at least it was out of their control and they could not exploit it.

Also, Trek shows have not been the most consistent ever, but Discovery really went their way on completely distegarding every Star Trek lore existing in the first season which, personal theory, is a major reason for the writers to “get rid” of the ship at the end of season two. Discovery just did not make sense in the universe created by the othee series, to put it where it does no more damage.

I had a look at Memory Alpha and you are right, he is mentioned. Yet it was so forgettable that I removed it every time I rewatched the show

On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager’s pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I’m pretty sure he has been forgotten by then

Don’t forget about orbital mechanics. For a rendez vous between two ships you need a lot of maneuvers in opposite directions, it’s not like shown in movies where the fly like airplanes. If two ships are close to each other they will likely be in different orientations and it would be a waste of energy to face each other since communications still happen at thens of thousands of kilometers of distance

What is this from?

It’s just bad writing. They could literally all come back to earth, get the same injection Tom and Janeway had and in a couple of days they would be back to Earth. That is without considering that warp 10 was a side project of a lone helmmen stranted on the other side of the galaxy, just think what the best federation scientists would do with the appropriate reaources, in a couple of years they would eliminate any adverse effect.

You can’t just drop one of the most relevant scientific breakthrough of the century as a story for a single episode and then completely forget about it.

According to Memory Alpha, the borgs in TNG use lasers to cut through hulls of ships and even planet rocks

That’s the common trope for 2010’s+ scifi. For some reason in the future everything is dramatic and has more RGB than a gaming pc

I agree, she did great. But let’s not pretend she was put in her tight dress and heels for a plot point. But yeah, her sexiness was only a minor part of her reasonably complex character, so it was not that bad after all.

You can say a lot about seven but being a “damsel in distress” couldn’t be farther from fhe truth, she was the most badass of them all and in some episodes aliens tried taking advantage of her and failed miserably. She was mostly put there for nerds to drool over, but she was not a badly written character and even had a decent development
