Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Page 19 of 24)

I love this show. Cherry on top: coming here after every episode and read through your comments.

The "new"one. from 2004 ( wow 20+ years ago!)  I do have both on dvd or blu ray on my media center PC. The old one from 1978 ok but a foretaste of the star trek  being discussed here

regarding star Trek. The best most recent was DIscovery but its flaw was too much full frontal grins from the female star

Yeah - Paying for the content via streaming does count.  That's how the production gets paid for.  To follow the previous analogy you'd basically be saying

Paying your monthly rent for the show is what drives production of more shows in that IP or genre.  Just like paying your monthly apartment rent means you have the right to complain about bugs, mold and failed air con even though you didn't pay for the construction of the building.

So yeah, if you're paying $19.99/mo so you can watch the Star Trek i.p. - and you're served this "Muppets in Space" drivel instead of a proper Star Trek show, it's basically bait-n-switch on the product you've paid for.  Like going to Subway for a chicken sub sandwich and finding out its actually tofu (which is why they got sued for doing it to customers)

Hey... Maybe that's what Paramount needs: A false advertising/bait-n-switch class action lawsuit by a few hundred thousand subscribers all wanting 2 months of their subscription fees returned because they only have the subscription because of the Trek franchise and they were dooped with this fake show.  Of course they'll win, but it becomes a case of pennies to dollars because for every penny spent on the law suit they have to spend a dollar defending/disproving it.  Then they loose another dollar for of those pennies, in bad PR, lost subscriptions and erosion of their paying fan base.

well  BG stands up pretty well , even the last season that many didnot like for its supernatural tones, except  for one BIG  thing the woke swearing "Frack off" " Frack!" we all know what it really is! Would have been great had they had ther courage to say what they mean. Ah Enterprise? you must be one of 2 to like that. Yes Discovery had too many full frontals of that emotional woman. it did have decent story lines

Another old show I will revist - short 2 season one  with Katee Sackhoff is "Another Life"

The only BSG that IMHO does not hold up is the 1980 season, with the exception of the last episode.

Now back on topic.

Finally an episode worthy of the name Star Trek. Really enjoyed this episode. Too bad we had to wade through crap to get here. But even 1 good episode is worth it.

All cheer for Star Trek.

Sorry that Enterprise bored you. I found it stimulating and refreshing. With the exception of the bastardization of the finally.

We need more Star Trek. Good Star Trek.

Let me know what you think of S04E06. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I have.

I also liked Katee Sackhoff in Longmire, matter of fact I like her in anything that I have seen so far.

Exactly.  Came to say basically the same thing.  Pretty much the first solidly Star Trek episode in the last...15 or so.

Episode 1 this season was a 5 (still well above their average)
Episode 2 was dark a.f. but still well done.  Give it a 6 or 7.
This one... Grading on the scale of Strange New Worlds... Gets a 8.5 from me. (again, that the SNW scale of only grading against their own episodes)

why would you want actors today pretending to be the exact same characters from a show over 50 years ago?

would you like the same special effects?
the exact same stories?
zero character development?

then i am sure you can get AI to re do every show as the star trek cartoon from the 70's, voices, writing style and all.

stagnation is the first step to extinction

i would rather have 100 bad new original shows then any remake.

Because they are playing the exact same character that was portrayed 50 years ago....congrats on the stupidest comment I've seen in about 3 years.

Not getting into the other stuff, but are y'all forgetting that

That being said, yes, "science fiction writer" used to be a proper job, and it sure would be nice to have some of those on the writing team. What I actually blame it on is that the current crop of writers grew up with Back to the Future, which really lowered the bar on what an "explanation" can be. Regardless, the episode was very much enjoyable.

I don't think greater physical strength is the deciding factor here.

I just watched 406, (Off-Hour), and with the time counting down it felt like a bad episode of 24.  I wanted Kiefer Sutherland to say Events Occur In Real Time., thus the split screen we saw in this episode.  lolz.  Kinda cringe if you think about Trek trying to knock off 24.  This episode wanted to be a sciency race against time, but in the end the science just felt like another deus ex machina, and key moments were missed:

Had they capped off key moments that brought the story around full circle, as per my spoiler, this episode could've landed but it didn't, it just ended up unresolved and underwhelming, and kinda cringe considering they knocked off 24.  You know how they should knock off 24, actually making 24 episodes per season like 24.

@SgtSaint - Copy, plagiarize, and re-purpose, these writers have no understanding of Star Trek or fresh ideas.
