The first in the series was The Ashes of Eden, which I think was the best in many ways… though not quite as joyously wild as The Return. Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens co wrote them all. They didn’t get an official credit until later, but I think they always had a mention in the acknowledgements.
No way are they addressing this during the show. They know that can only make them look worse and prompt people to click away. The hosting is always light hearted and (bad) jokey, not a time they want to be delivering sincere defenses.
I was fine with Clark’s parents, but bothered that they met Lois for the first time, she stayed overnight, and we got virtually no interaction. Definitely one of the spots where I’d have liked to see some of the screen time given to overlong action scenes or the Justice Whatever reallocated to Superman’s supporting cast. I did like the movie overall, though.
“If you can’t take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It’s not safe out here. It’s wondrous, with sausages to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it’s not for the timid.”
Though honestly, I personally like to imagine that Tom Paris really likes Star Wars, but when he brings it up, everyone thinks it’s just another one of his campy 20th century films.
I mean, it is, isn’t it?
Like letting the air out of a balloon!
Season 1 of Picard started with such promise, but it’s clear they had no roadmap. They meandered around not developing the main plot until they had to throw together the most slapdash resolution in the last few episodes.
But I liked the concept of Picard in a new setting with new characters, on the outs with Starfleet but holding up its ideals even while the actual organization fell behind. A much better premise than season 3’s “lets just make everything like it was thirty years ago again!” approach.
Yeah, I mean, I’ll steal from my partner’s plate when they’re done, but if the cat leaves a little behind it’s for the trash.
Five seasons for Disco, SNW, and LD. I’d love more, but I think that’s respectable for streaming series. Doesn’t seem like they’re trying to escape anything.
You’re not suggesting that Star Trek fans might have had a negative overreaction to something just because it wasn’t 110% familiar and comfortable for them, are you? Why, that would be unprecedented.
My biggest concern is with the new ownership. The lack of any announced queer rep, SNW’s tepid third season, and even the pointed heteronormative attire in this poster all seem in line with a Trek that’s not going to push for anything progressive.
I agree with you that a Star Trek teen drama has potential though. Star Trek was built to encompass a variety of genres. Most around here seem to have appreciated the Star Trek animated comedy, and I don’t hear much denigrating of Bakula’s West Wing in space proposal, so I don’t see why 90210 in space should be such a punchline.
It was eventually added back in for the Director’s Edition, though.
I’m shocked it’s taken this long for someone to post that piece of comedy gold.
For the men? Yes. Women must be slender with nice legs.
Wait, what if this is an in-universe recruitment ad?
T’be fair, seems likely his nephew has a torpedo funeral service en route. It was good enough for Spock, after all.
The TMP novelization’s version of the academy featured competitive orgies between the human and Deltan residences, iirc. Anything less than that, and I’m calling this show out for not being true to Gene’s Vision®.
a) why would they stop? Just because you lost one war doesn’t mean you dissolve your entire military.
b) perhaps the Jem’Hadar at some point seized control of their own cloning facilities and made the necessary changes. Or the Founders eventually turn over a new leaf and grant them autonomy. 800 years allows for any number of explanations.
It’s not even that, it’s Avery Brooke’s powerful voice and Patrick Stewart’s piercing eyes as they confront one another for the first time, the briefing room filling with tension as Sisko’s barely contained rage breaks against Picard’s steely reserve, knowing both are just surface defences covering the hidden hurt they reach feel, both victims of the same implacable foe, both denying themselves the comfort of…
We’re all nostalgic for the same things here, right? Yes? No?
Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.
