I find the actual dyed in the wool trek sites like Trekcore and Trekbbs are pretty accepting of Discovery and its the general audience sites like io9 and and ign in particular are the ones full of misanthropes who demand the series is chucked in the garbags shute and aren’t afraid to come by and say it again and again…

Thanks for your opinion. I guess this means we’ll be spared from your over the top hyperbole in future.

As the saying goes, there are no old, bold soldiers.

Their use of the holodeck was even worse than time travel, as they never really used it for actual history, but more for cosplay and role playing games. I mean, does one really want to waste an hour watching Star Trek characters playing an RPG that isn’t even a fraction as interesting as the actually lives they lead?

This from someone who doesn’t even have the ability to critique.  man, i don’t even know where that puts you.

There are exceptions to every rule. For instance I am not a fan of time travel stories, but man was 12 Monkeys a brilliant series. Nonetheless, I will argue all of Voyagers Time Travel stories were less than stellar examples of the genre, especially as they tended to be ‘it never happened’ stories, and the whole Time W…

“terrible and about nothing but alternate universe nonsense”

Its definitely interesting how enthusiastic everyone was about a first contact opportunity, given that more often than not first contact via the Orville ends up with a body count, partially due to the disinterest of them learning anything about the cultures they are about to interact with *before* they stumble into…

Oh come on, we all know those who can, do. those who can’t, teach, those who can’t either do or teach, critique.

Well, there’s only one thing that might keep 1st TNG out of being the worst first season of all the Star Trek series, and that is that both Voyager and Enterprise were into timey-wimey lack of ideas almost from the getgo. As in Star Trek you start going to time travel when you run out of ideas, at least it took a few…

Now you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining.

DS9 took about 5 years to build up to being edgy. Most of the early seasons were filled with a whole lot of silly with the odd serious episode sadwiched between. it wasn’t until the suits said “guys, do what you want.  Just don’t destroy the Federation, we need that,” that the show actually got interesting.

It seems interested in being a novel and not a collection of short stories each year.  Those two forms are written very differently for the most part.

Well, when it seems the fundamental issue seems to be, each episode is a chapter and not a short story in and of itself, no, I wouldn’t expect that issue to be addressed, IE have the show turned back into an oldschool episodic series where at the end of the 45 minutes everything is tied up into a neat little bow.. …

Firstly, name one Star Trek series past TOS that got its act together before its third season. Secondly you and TheRealBatman have your wires crossed. He quotes, Joss Whedon about need, you come back with an agreement that Fans didn’t get what they wanted. Need and Want aren’t the same thing at all, which is why Joss…

I think the reviewer is making critiques based on the manner in which the story is being told as opposed to its contents. Discovery isn’t an episodic series. It is telling a story a chapter at a time of a larger story. The main critique here is that because the form isn’t episodic, its not telling its story. Do any of…

Good God, why does this person so desperately insisting on soiling himself in public and then announcing he has to the world? It boggles the mind.

You wonder what happened to the intelligent, thoughtful Star Trek Fan? He’s here, laughing at those who belligerently and stupidly they scream how intelligent and thoughtful they are.  He loves absurdist humor.

Clearly you didn’t. Or you wouldn’t feel the need to attack someone who did. That’s what’s called projection, fyi.

How old are you? Do I have to be a certain age in order for my opinion to be acceptable? Why should it matter how old or young I am, or if heard them the radio back in the 70s/80s or not? They are his songs and his lyrics, not mine.
