Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Page 15 of 17)

What the fuck was Episode 2? Ghosts now? No explanations? Is this Sci-Fi or Horror?

old school scifi with few limits..
i love it..
but it is really screwing with star trek cannon.
( which must be freaking the zealots out)
so now

since i am not hard core trekie... i am fine with it
its no worse then what disney did for force gods and other crap to star wars

good to see some story morals and good old character self harm mentally and physically in the show for a little reality

there is nothing i hate more then sensible people believing delusions for almost any reason, and never questioning the most unbelievable things in physiological thrillers.

NO.
english is just mispronounced/misspelled some other language.
the majority of english speakers cannot agree on much of it.

eg:Color is the spelling used in American English, while colour is the spelling used in British English and other Commonwealth countries.

and much of is not pronounced the same even when spelled the same. even in the same country.

I before E except after C unless its not.  SILENT letters WTF were they thinking??????

i encourage the decline and fall of the english language. as someone who is becoming dyslexic i applaud the end of this mess.

and yes anyone with half a brain on any hallucinogenic substance KNOWS there are no pink elephants.
even in the worst chemical or virus caused delusion or hallucination you should know something is impossible.
( which is why you are still legally responsible for drunk driving and murder while on drugs)
a psychosis from an actual defect in the brain is a different story, and not something anyone can "meditate" themselves out of.
( which is not legally responsible because of mental defect or insanity)

( not to be confused with the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law)

Um. Okay then. Just asking, because those are two normally unrelated words and constantly having to remember what you mean makes your posts marginally more difficult, and in turn annoying, to read. But I guess that is no concern of yours.

Yes. Half a brain. That is the point: you quite literally do not have even half of a functional brain which you could use to know that, in such a state. That's why I brought up dreaming. Are you an always-lucid dreamer? You'd be in quite the minority if so. Most people simply accept what the dream is showing them and only question it after they wake up.

And no, people are not fully responsible for their actions in an intoxicated state if they did not knowingly or willingly bring that state about. If someone spikes your food with a mix of hallucinogenic and paranoia-inducing drugs, you are not fully liable for whatever happens after. Only for some of it. Because that is a form of induced psychosis, which, you already brought it up, is different. The effect they were suffering from in the episode would have been similar.

Given how negatively charged ions can be created, I believe this is a lazy method to have us swallow whatever. Just throw something fancy sounding at us and we shall eat it up and like it.

Also, you people take this show or your replies way to bloody seriously. Writing complete essays to get your point across?

When I searched what causes negatively charged ions the following came up.

---======---

You can increase your exposure to negative ions by spending time near flowing water, walking barefoot on the earth, and using indoor ionizers. These practices help absorb or generate the beneficial ions that improve well-being.
Natural Outdoor Sources

    Waterfalls and Oceans: Visit beaches, rivers, or waterfalls where crashing water breaks water molecules and releases high levels of negative ions.

Forests and Parks: Walk among trees and plants, which naturally emit negative ions through photosynthesis and environmental interaction.
Earthing and Grounding: Walk barefoot directly on grass, sand, or bare soil to connect your body to the earth's natural electric charge.
After a Storm: Spend time outdoors during or right after rain, as storms naturally spike negative ion counts in the air.

Indoor Adjustments

    Air Purifiers: Use a certified ozone-free negative ion generator or air purifier designed for indoor spaces.
    Salt Lamps: Place Himalayan salt lamps in your rooms; when heated by a bulb or candle, they emit small amounts of negative ions.
    Houseplants: Keep indoor plants like ferns and small trees to support natural air cleansing and low-level ion production.
    Water Features: Run a small indoor desktop water fountain to mimic the splashing effect of natural waterfalls.
    Hot Showers: Take a warm shower, as the evaporating steam and moving water droplets generate negative ions in your bathroom.

See, I can do it too.

I did however enjoy this episode, for once it did not over explain what was going on, and left you hanging a bit.

I am happy to report that the negatively charged ions gave me super powers.

I have deleted a few posts.  Please stay on topic.

So the "a movie that already exists as episode theme" trend continues. Sure did not expect Hangover though. Could still do without the overall goofiness on this show, but the episode was alright.

the writers took a vacation.
i suppose you have to write some pulp crap to try and bring in those who loved academy (or whatever it was called)
and there is nothing that a drunk brainless pointless episode can do better then........
ok i have no way to defend this episode.
but it does give a plausible and reasonable event to bind kirk and spock to be friends for life.
who knows what horrors spock blurted out and kirk sat there just nodding to.( while sipping the not strong enough drink)
and that was all that was gained here.
you know.... CANNON wise......

it was a light episode that took nothing and gave little.
but i hope they do not make a habit of episodes like this.

( and here we have spock hallucinating and KNOWING for a fact its a hallucination, they way spock should)

yeah - I noticed that too.  But I did love the Klingon Power Ballads in the karaoke bar. With more Klingons for next week.

So reading episode descriptions for the remaining

1. 65

2. Event Horizon

3. Hangover

4. Something gangster

5. Angel - Puppet episode (but as a transporter accident? Really?)

6. Slipstream - So Gene Roddenberry's Andomedia?

7. Soap opera

8. Might actually be a Trek episode

9. Game of Thrones

10. Timey Whimmey stuff

The number of goofy/fantasy episodes per season is annoying.  Basically half
3. Let's get stoned
5. Puppet transporter accident
7. Soap opera
9. Elysian fantasy
10. Remains to be seen based on how they do the time loop (could be good, could be Doctor Who)

i would like Dave Foley more if they ever had him play someone different then the cut out charter he always plays.
they must decide he is in the episode then write it so he is always the same. happens no matter what show it is.

he has been typecast badly.

but he plays his part well.

( i was pretty sad that the writers of startrek have no idea how big a centimeter is)
(it would also have been nice if they blew off scotty correct finger to match James Doohan)

If this is a joke, who is it played on? I do not think 10 episodes are funny. And usually when they pull this 10 episode crap the last season is like 6-8 episodes only.

I have read that a lot of actors do not like this format. They don't get paid as much and they are tied to the show for a specific time.

Bring back the 20+ episodes and good writers.

Totally agree with the 10 episode... no filler... bring back 24 episode seasons THAT START ON TIME IN SEPTEMBER.
10 episodes with 18 month break between end of last season and start of next is purely to keep people paying their streaming service rent.  Someone figured out that's the optimum gap before people start killing the service.

It used to be "summer break" then the new season started in the fall for 24 episodes.  For that you accept a couple budget saving episodes.

But we're 30+ years ahead on technology so it should be a wash.  I don't want to hear one more person talk about how the quality of the effects is better - SO IS THE TECH TO MAKE THEM.  If the current tech is 15x slower then go back to the old ways.

And it would be great if Strange New Worlds would actual explore some of those new worlds.  1st contact situations.  Study some new pre-warp society.  Ya know-Explore.  Instead of hop from known world to known world to space station.

I felt nothing for the exhaustion level of the crew because we saw none of what they were going through to get there - and that would have been the episodes worth watching.
