Another filler episode that I mostly skipped through. DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

78 2022-06-24 04:20:08 (edited by TheFizza 2022-06-24 08:37:34)Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)Ep8 had a cute framing mechanism which reminds me of some of the absolute worst Eps of Trek like when Tasha Yar had to fight for her right not to marry a man on Ligon II, or that time when everyone on DS9 were forced to Move Along Home and let's not forget Michael Mckean just going for it in the second season of Voyager. But this terrible Ep, it ended with [nothing borderline about it] child abuse... this was, at the same time, both the dumbest and most offensive Ep of Trek I've seen in what seems like forever [and I am counting Discovery's time crystal nonsense]. It retroactively turned one of my favorite lowkey players on TOS into a criminal but also got rid of his dumb edgy unneeded complication... so honestly I will try to view this as a glitch and take a cue from the crew to forget any of this ever happened. Why am I so angry, you may ask?! Well it's not cause this Ep followed in the grand tradition of corny genre moments, no... ▼Spoiler Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)graybags wrote:
I started to watch it then saw Pikes new hair style and decided not to take it any further . Maybe when I have nothing else to watch then I will go back Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)Wizard wrote:
I agree a waste of 45 minutes a big let down after the previous episodes. Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)S1x08: I started out thinking this was gonna be one of those "silly" episodes ,, and it was DELIGHTFULLY silly. The exaggerated over-acting had me giggling and going along with the fun. Anston Mount is a hoot , and some how manages to steal every scene,, even in a cowardly comedic role. Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)eps 9 still that damn hair other wise "Aliens" any one? Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)merc wrote:

for me that is 2 dud eps in a row. when I realised the above I stopped watching, some thing I do not normally do! Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)S1x09.. How I am supposed to be scared,, with all the emotional baggage they packed into this episode? The 2 just don't mix well together. ▼Spoiler Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)Duplicat wrote:
I had high hopes for him too, such an interesting character. A strange decision to kill him off for sure. Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)Episode 10 is the best yet. ▼Spoiler 88 2022-07-08 04:14:47 (edited by TheFizza 2022-07-14 04:12:02)Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)Tasviewer wrote:
My "Even though" was... ▼Spoiler Anyway Ep 10 [A Quality of Mercy] was pretty good stuff (despite more dreaded time crystal nonsense)... what I can't believe though, is the season is over already. Feels like I barely got to know the show, maybe that's the thing about the classic Trek series: They just threw so many Eps at you that you really got to know the characters and began to feel comfortable in that universe... whereas these new Trek series are so focused [even here] on some tight serialized story telling. As a result we don't really spend all that much time just watching the crew just be. Because as much as this was not Discovery it was also not TOS but more something in the middle... and there is something to be said for an SF series without that dramatic push forward of towards an overall arc which started back in Voyager and [somehow, more so] in ENT days, sure, but continues on here... even with the finale twist at the end of the Ep. It's not that I dislike a Epic, DS9 is my favorite Trek, but sometime it's more interesting to just splash around in Trek waters... Even if it's with Eps that have little to now stakes like that time on DS9 when Morn died or when Bashir dealt with The Quickening (sorry Highlander) but then there's also "DAX" and "Whispers" and what of TNG's "The Naked Now" or "Disaster" and VOY "The Cloud" or "Memorial." Heck even TOS' had all sorts of filler Eps like "The Trouble with Tribbles" or "Shore Leave" which made those crews more textured and thereby more interesting... so, yeah-uh, lament with me ----- 89 2022-07-08 10:49:58 (edited by merc 2022-07-08 10:51:20)Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)so it is over? thank goodness I wont need to watch any more. I prefer Discovery to this olde fashioned fare. And Pike himself must surly be nearly an oap ( old aged pensioner), old people tarted up never look good. and that hair I kept on thinking my screen has acquired some form of expansion distortion like you could in the old crt tv days, if any one here is that old to remember such Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)merc wrote:

but when to drop? It was the last 3 eps that were the clincher for me. it is a show trying to reprise the glory days of early Star Trek and fails. it does not have a theme like the other shows ( other than can Pike avoid his destiny? I hope he doesn't) Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (May 05, 2022)merc wrote:
