That wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be after reading the comments you guys made.

It just looks...hollow. With terrible, terrible acting.
How about giving a Klingon a line? |

I guess we're going to find out why there are no female captains in the rest of Star Trek until Janeway amirite

Nice nod to the original movie with the jet suit.
The actors look wooden as hell, but the effects look decent. Minus Discovery though - it looks like a rejected Klingon scout ship. |

I've seen better acting in my town's vacation bible school performances. Yuck.

I agree, though. Not a good look if it turns out this way. |

And I just don't understand when entertainment is looking to re-capture millennial viewers by re-booting/re-starting shit from the 90s why Paramount ****ing insists that this prequel shit is the way to go. How about you CONTINUE the events and adventures of the franchise when it was at its height? Those golden days of TNG never saw a more excited fanbase even among average television viewers for this show. They're not even allowing for "far future" series like TNG was to the original. God, how interesting would that be? Re-imagining technology and ships a full century past the events of TNG/DS9/Voyager? Get input from people to be ****ing CREATIVE for ****ing once. God, how about coming up with new modes of communication beyond the com-badge? Get some young kid to see that shit on TV and go, "I'm going to invent that!" Nope. **** creativity. **** trying new things. Yes, I know they're restarting a 50-year old franchise, but they're not even TRYING to explore strange new worlds or seek out new life and new civilizations. They're banking on a ****ing Klingon War. We already had what we wanted regarding a Klingon War. The Axanar movie. Fans demanded it, and CBS said no. They could have commandeered it and rolled that direction with their shitty prequel. Nope. Has to be this stupid lower decks story. Is Michelle Yeoh even going to be recognized as a real captain in fan lore since she's not the headline act of this series? I would have loved an Axanar movie that was fan-funded. So much better than the other fan-made shit out there. I would have loved CBS taking that and running with it if they were worried about missing out on profit. Instead, we got this crap. And **** Bryan Fuller, too. I hope his career ****ing dies. You don't commit to a franchise like Star Trek and then back out before the first ****ing season, you dumbass ****ing prick. We were promised the show would be in good hands with him because he knew how to connect to the fans with his writing, and now we got more terrible assholes who thought ST: Into Darkness is what fans wanted to see. I'm watching the free one they'll broadcast. And I'm 99% certain I won't be blown away. When that happens, I ain't paying SHIT to stream this garbage. CBS can go **** itself. |
