Star Trek: One More Time

[Synthaholic]

Nope, from everything I've heard about ST: Discovery it will be every bit as clumsy, SJW-harrassing the viewer (other Star Trek let their diversity function as a casual, everyday thing) embarrassing and horribly dumbed down as Jar Jar Abrams horrid mockery of Star Trek movies. I can't tell you how the hyperactive, jackhammer-in-the-brain, stupid 2009 cine-feces ended because I walked out during the last half hour. I hated it so bad that I figured whatever I paid to get in, it was worth MORE to get out. Not only is it the worst Star Trek I've ever seen, not only is it the worst movie I've ever seen, but I've NEVER seen a megabudget movie more incompetent on a technical level. The lens flares, obnoxious set design lighting & cinematography, etc., etc. J.J. Abrams Trek has zero redeeming qualities of any kind. I haven't watched any newer Trek since that 2009 utter miscarriage of sci-fi.

My point being, everything points to Discovery as being in the same DELIBERATELY dumbed-down, obnoxious vein. And has so many talentless idiots involved, NOTHING good can come from it.

If the 2009 Star Trek is the worst movie you have ever seen, you must have seen very few movies.

The 2009 reboot is a fantastic movie. Karl Urban is a perfect Dr. McCoy.

but there was no reason to make it an alternate timeline.....that killed it....

I don't pay too much attention to these Canons. The comic book world has been changed so many times, it doesn't matter any longer.

star trek did not come from the comic book world.....

Yes, I know that.

Doesn't change my point.

if you knew that,why did you say it?.....just askin.....and yes it makes a big difference....Star Trek had a 50 year timeline....J.J. Abrams was a horrible pick to do a reboot,someone who actually watched the series and was a fan should have been picked......

Will you watch?

I'll probably watch the opener out of curiosity but won't pay money to CBS to see the series. The premise is not fresh beyond the lady Captain and XO.

'Star Trek: Discovery' to Tackle Trump-Era Political Divide

From what I've read about it, no. I'll watch the series opener at most. From what I've seen of the design of the Enterprise, it looks to be pretty pathetic. A lot of people were upset by that design. lol It looks like shit.

Enterprise?

Can you be any more clueless, commenting on something you obviously know nothing about?

Oh, wait! You always do that, don't you?

It's going to suck ass. I guarantee it.

Clearly I was thinking Star Trek and typed Enterprise by habit. Of course the ships name is Discovery, and of course, the fans still did not like the ship design.

Get back to your rubber ducky navy.

Nope, from everything I've heard about ST: Discovery it will be every bit as clumsy, SJW-harrassing the viewer (other Star Trek let their diversity function as a casual, everyday thing) embarrassing and horribly dumbed down as Jar Jar Abrams horrid mockery of Star Trek movies.

You poor cuck. Better find your safe space now before they're all gone!

Safe space? You idiot, you don't even know the FUCKING DEFINITION of a "safe space", you horse's ass! Explaining what I like or dislike about a certain entertainment IS NOT GETTING SCARED AND TRAUMATIZED!!!! It's simply a matter of expressing an opinion, that's all, you poor, drooling vegetable.

 

[WillMunny]

Actually, you want to see a good recent Star Trek series? The YouTube fan series "Star Trek Continues" starring Vic Mignogna as an exact clone of Shatner in every detail. They use the sets/uniforms/music/production values of the original Star Trek so it feels identical to the original. And the story lines are so ambitious it's the best homage to the original Star Trek I've ever seen. They have at least a dozen episodes on YT and you can tell they put a lot of time and energy into it.

You obviously have a fear of Social Justice Warriors. Just hide, like your gut tells you.

No, Star Trek is nothing but libtard fantasy bullshit except the original series. In it, if the captain wasn't killing them, he was "kirking" them.

It's funny that Roddenberry's vision was one of a socialist utopia, no personal wealth, etc. Yet the old show and TNG did promote conservative themes, like personal responsibility, using logic over emotions, and of course finding the bad guys and blowing them up. There is a lot in the old shows that would be considered politically incorrect in today's Snowflake era.

Thank you, you've summed up what I've been saying on this thread better than I did: Star Trek explores certain human values that can be claimed by either side of the political aisle. Even though it sloped a little to the Left, it did it in a fair, thoughtful way I can respect, even if I'm not sure I agreed with the story's resolution. Star Trek (all TV series) was always at its best when it presents you with extremely ambivalent moral dilemmas in which both choices felt right and wrong at the same time. Then after the story is resolved, I'm not sure if I'm completely happy with the resolution, but I do understand the reasoning behind it. I really respect that type of Trek story because it treats me, the viewer, like I'm intelligent enough to understand the conflict and make up my own mind.

Cretin, I still don't know what Social Justice Warriors and my opinion of them have THE FUCK TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT I PERSONALLY LIKE A CERTAIN STAR TREK!!! I don't require a safe space, my dear special needs student; I'm simply stating there are some incarnations of Star Trek that I've liked and some I didn't like. WHAT THE FUCK does my opinion of a TV show have to do with SJWs & "Safe Spaces"? Not a goddamned thing, you Skittle-brained, silly little thing! I'm not offended, scared, or running away, I'm simply here offering various critiques on a TV show and that's all! Really, I've never required Play-Doh or coloring books if I see a Star Trek that was badly done. What the FUCK is your obsessive problem with my Star Trek tastes? You're a hell of a lot more obsessed than I am.

How typical! You fuck up and then blame me for your stupidity.

Regardless of politics, I think it would behoove everyone to remember that today's violent, rabid-animal, rageaholic, hate-hurricane "Obama liberals" are a COMPLETELY different species from the old-fashioned, moderate "JFK liberals" involved in making Star Trek. I'm an ex-liberal now so trust me, I know.

Probably. I don't think any other efforts have ever come close to the original Trek , despite the bad effects and acting, it is what it is. I love the original show but we need to stop further incarnations, nice try. End it.

I think the reboots were ok movies, but they weren't good Star Trek movies. I agree Karl Urban was a perfect McCoy, but the new Kirk was terrible. All they did was make him a wild cowboy, if you watch the old show, young Kirk was very calculating and calm. In the movies when he was much older he was more of a cowboy, but he wasn't like that when he was young.

JJ Abrams ruined the Star Trek franchise. He turned it into a Michael Bay action movie in space using regurgitated Star Trek characters. His TV show Lost was one of the worst sci-fi shows I ever sat through. I knew he would ruin Star Wars as well and he sure as hell did, that movie was a flaming pile of garbage.

Michael Weatherley (DiNozzo on NCIS) would have made a better Kirk.

I've seen some of that. Pretty good for fan-based work. They do a good job of capturing the atmosphere of the original.
