Sith Happens Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 OK so its an acquired taste, but the new star trek discovery has been great. Normally 1st series are poor but its been excellent. Can't wait for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Bloody Netflix though. Any idea if it’ll be shown on a TV Channel eventually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, the Orville is on Fox which is also worth a view. They have announced the next series of Discovery wont be until 2019 so I wouldnt be surprised to see if appear on TV at some point.

It’s a Netflix original outside the USA so Netflix is the only place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they made sense in setting g up the final 3 episodes. We've really enjoyed it here too. So many plot twists that I did not see coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true, one reason I wish they had set it post Nemesis. Be interesting to see what the enterprise looks like inside when Series 2 starts as presume we are going to see it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you make it look further in the past than Star Trek tos, when we’ve already surpassed some of the technology on display there. So it has to be further advanced than today, but less advanced than tos, which is apparently 400 years in the future. Difficult one, but I like seeing what they come up with, so I’ll have to have a look at this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, with the films they explained it because technology moved faster because of the appearance of the Romulans from the future. Dunno, part of me just thinks accept it, TOS is over 50 years old now so it is what it is. Even TNG is 30 years old. They are supposed to explain it all when they 'catch up' with the TOS era, if the series doesnt get cancelled. I am a Trek fan and used to really want more of 'what i know', more TNG, DS9 etc...but i stopped reading the books a few years ago as they were just boring me. I have just enjoyed it for what it is.

Probably the best way. Cant believe TNG is 30 years old. I’m so old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of upper class British officer stuff in it, whereas tos was a bit more rootin tootin. But it started getting more bad ass with the introduction of the Borg.

Some of the casting was quite weak too, Marina Sirtis, Denise Crosby and Will Wheaton all quite poor, was better later on when Sirtis played Troi a bit more relaxed and Will Wheaton grew up/left.

Will Wheaton was, and still is, at his best when he shuts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
