Looks new to me. If I had to guess it’s whoever picked up Badgey making their move.

LibraryLass ,

…Moopsy!..

LibraryLass ,

1 and 3 are both great, and I’ll go against the grain and say that 4 is pretty mediocre.

LibraryLass ,

You know, as a big FF8 booster, this makes me reconsider some stuff.

LibraryLass ,

Wouldn’t prime!Chekov be like 12 around this time frame?

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody"

LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike....

LibraryLass ,

Star Trek had a long history of taking cues from capital-T Theater, so a musical was kind of a logical extension of that.

LibraryLass ,

It does though. As the others said, Scotty did have to jury-rig some modifications for long-term storage and even then he wasn’t able to save the other survivor long-term.

LibraryLass ,

He may prefer to-- he is himself legally blind, and completely blind in one eye.

LibraryLass ,

None of these “very special message” episodes either

I mean, barring the single best episode of the show.

Can someone give me adivice on how/where to get back into star trek?

As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

LibraryLass ,

To you.

Anyone else out there who actually really loved Discovery's S1 style of Klingons?

I am the kind of person who enjoys “big weird” scifi like Stanisław Lem. Stories about trying to relate to and find common ground with something so alien that the prospect of even understanding is basically hopeless. Star Trek usually doesn’t do stories that, which makes sense as it often uses alien races as allegories or...

LibraryLass ,

I dug 'em. It was a good experiment in pushing Trek’s aliens beyond a forehead and an accent.

LibraryLass ,

Perhaps it implied that.

But it only ever implied that, and meanwhile we had other evidence that implied a separate conclusion, in the form of Kor, Kang, and Koloth.

Which is more likely-- that every Klingon Kirk encountered during his five-year mission was a survivor of the augment virus (edit: Including Kahless, who lived and died centuries before Archer!) and no Klingon encountered outside of that time period was; or that the Klingons ruthlessly quarantined or even executed carriers of the augment virus and wiped it out before it got too far, and TOS’s visuals aren’t literal?

LibraryLass ,

because apparently Star Trek, unlike every other fantasy and science fiction thing I like, is Forbidden from being treated like a secondary world that should have its own internal consistency.

Nonsense-- other long-running universes encounter retcons and visual redesigns all the time. Quick, how old was Dick Grayson when he first became Robin? What color is Superman’s S? How old was Magneto during the Holocaust? What happened to Luke’s father? Did James Bond fight in World War 2, or participate the Cold War?

LibraryLass ,

I mean… not that much. Daleks have gone through three redesigns just since the show went back. Sontarans went from the world’s most unconvincing rubber masks to makeup. And how many eyes do Silurians have-- two, or three?

LibraryLass ,

How many more years before the crude, gritty aesthetic of Star Wars suffers the same fate as the crude and campy aesthetic of Star Trek?

People complained about exactly that during the Prequel Trilogy.

LibraryLass ,

…That’s literally what happens in the Dune books.

LibraryLass ,

“so what about Kang, Kor, or Koloth? How do they look right now?”

Like Klingons.

LibraryLass ,

So why can’t you do that here?

It’s 100 years later.

TMP isn’t.

LibraryLass ,

It’s one thing to do as a one-off gag or a nostalgia bit. It would not have been possible to take seriously for an ongoing series in 2017, except for hardcore fans that don’t need to be sold on it.

LibraryLass ,

Then as someone who does know a lot about this stuff I can tell you that you are making a lot of assumptions that are not the case.

LibraryLass ,

Personally I’m glad those transphobic fucks aren’t allowed anywhere near Star Trek.

LibraryLass ,

The idea of being able to essentially species change a Klingon into a Human with TOS-era Klingon medical tech sounds impossibly advanced for what the Klingons are known for.

It’s also something that literally happened in a TOS episode that almost everyone saw and liked.

LibraryLass ,

James Bond, for instance, is a different person from each actor to have played him

That’s not canonical, merely a popular theory.

LibraryLass ,

And the DIS s1 klingons look broadly like the TNG klingons, just exaggerated.

What "third generation" Trek is worth watching? (kbin.social)

I started with Star Trek after watching the Star Trek (2009) movie in college. After that I went wild watching everything I could since I was young with loads of time. I watched most of TOS, all of TNS, all of DS9, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and all of the movies. I then stopped since I didn't have the time and wasn't...

LibraryLass ,

IMO, all of it.

In terms of general agreement, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and season 3 of Picard are generally the most well-regarded projects to date.

LibraryLass ,

It’s a dizzyingly uneven show with the lowest points of quality in all of Trek.

Dude I’ve seen TNG season 1 and Enterprise seasons 1-2. I know we both know it can get worse.

LibraryLass ,

By and large episodic is what Star Trek fans want. At least to some extent.

LibraryLass ,

Me too.
