I see the trailer, I don’t think is the best serie in the world, but I think can be something fun to watch, to nowdays standards that is enough to me really.
I need to watch it to have an opinion, I have the feeling people need to give a chance at least, I did with Voyager despite all the negative critics I saw.
What you think about this?
Same for me.
Just saw jem Hadar in the star fleet in this trailer? What?
I see them prioritizing:
…
Kurzman really destroyed trek.
I will see what comes out in the first 3 episodes, but as with discovery, I have extremely little expectations. Discovery ruined new trek for me: still cannot get over the mushroom drive and waterbear providing maps by shocking it with electricity, constantly whispering and whining of the main character, another crybaby destroyed dilithium in the galaxy because he has a ‘connection’… Take your pick
They do have some good casting, like Tig Notaro. Hope there are other good ones as well.
Every time I see a ‘Kurtzman bad’ post, I think about the molesting of female actors that Rick Berman did. I think of the power hungry swings of manipulation he wielded over anyone who tried to leave.
I think of Maurice Hurley, who got McFadden fired on false pretences because she dared to stand up to his sexist shit.
I think of Gene Roddenberry, of his persistent meddling and manipulation. Of his theft of ideas and royalties. Of the fact that he is almost certainly the attempted rapist of the era.
Get the fuck over yourselves. ‘I dont like Kurtzman’s story ideas’ puts him leagues ahead of the literal legacy of sex offenders that ran the show before.
Kurtzman is by all accounts a good person. He is however terrible at making good entertainment and a specially good Startrek.
if you’re posting about diversity being a negative, you’ve totally missed the point of all Star Trek since 1966.
Yea, they definitely fucked the phrasing on that one, but I think their point is it’s negative to focus on diversity over the story.
A good story with a focus on diversity and accepting others? Good!
Diversity for the sake of casting a minority actor in a role that’s otherwise squandered and only shown off as a token? Bad!
The positive interpretation is akin to what Warwick Davis meant in his criticism against Snow White: Don’t use minorities as a token, especially a marketing token. If you’re going to do it, make it mean something so they’re not just a token that can be dismissed at will, or even mocked by haters.
It is, in fact, bad to have diversity for diversity’s sake, as far as producing fiction. At least when diversity itself is already established in media in general. This isn’t the 60’s. You’re NOT progressive for simply putting someone with a different skin color or genetic issue on screen.
I doubt that’s what they meant, partly because it really doesn’t seem to apply to either Disco or Picard. Both had their fair share of issues in the writing, but I wouldn’t say tokenism was among them (unless you count Disco’s bury-your-gays moment, but they course corrected on that).
Why is that a problem? In TOS, Klingons were the enemy, then TNG brought us Worf. In TNG, the Ferengi were the enemy, then in DS9 Nog joined up. Star Trek is all about coming together and overcoming differences.
I wish. They’ve cancelled all the shows with queer representation. SNW has about a hundred relationships going on, all straight. I miss Disco and Lower Decks.
none of those are explicitly evolved and bred by another race to act as their cannon fodder, and kept in-line by psychoactive substances they are genetically engineered to die without.
sure you can argue that they can be fixed by medicine and deprogramming, but it would be a bit like a new star wars film having a battle droid as a jedi padawan
If the Dominion has had any sort of reformation at all over the last several hundred years, I would think that freeing the Jem’Hadar would have been near the top of the “to do” list.
It hardly seems fair to compare them to robots.
I agree, but also… you know if battle droids existed in Star Trek there’d be at least one episode where one of them breaks with its programming and comes to Starfleet seeking asylum. Like the exocomps, or Hugh in “I, Borg”, or even Data getting his day in court to prove his free will. Star Trek wants everyone to be free, whatever they’re made out of.
I’ll take droid rights seriously as soon as Star Wars does. 😂
no that’s fair, they’re more like a clone army.
Did you watch The Bad Batch?
