I think I’ll add this to the sidebar!
I agree with a lot of this. I strongly disliked SNW in the beginning, but it stated to get closer to the TOS “feel”, and that was an improvement. But where they do lots of character work, they do too much, to the point where the stories lack depth. I mean… this is a sci-fi show, but the writers seem to want to make a dramedy set on a starship, and that’s not Trek to me. I want to see the science and tens solving problems together with science! not shooting everything or spending almost the entire episodes between flashbacks and the present, where every. single. thing. is all about working out some personal or interpersonal drama.
out of all of the SNW episodes, maybe 1/4 were actually about exploring space and Trek stuff. the rest are all character drama that’s really exhausting to watch.
S02 found a better balance and helped by making all that drama more “fun”, but the Trek part of the show shouldn’t just be a backdrop or pretext for the characters’ personal drama. I want good sci-fi stories, not convenient setups for will-they-or-won’t-they or having every other episode about dealing with someone’s PTSD. when DS9 did it, they sed a lighter touch so those moments were meaningful. with SNW, it’s everything, and loses meaning.
I agree that this era of Trek is getting overworn, and I’m very ready to focus on another time period with new and different characters. A break will be nice, at last.
that would be a really cool trend to start
well, it would be very geeky, but still cool
well, I appreciate that ❤️
setting up the whole coin system would create server costs. you can already donate.
it was never about the abortions.
as always, the cruelty was the point.
thanks, but…. aren’t you glad it doesn’t have that useless crap?
so… how do you like openSuSE after 3 years of fedora?
man, I hope this becomes available somewhere, soon.
