People complain about the 90s ideals of “Not seeing color”, as painfully archaic and rooted themselves in systemic racism but is, “Tolerance = bad, separate but equal = good” really an improvement? I don’t understand how American mass media keep pushing regressive policies and telling us they’re ackshually progressive.

Yeah it’s giant Antman’s skeleton as a lair lol

If you showed this preview to an industry person from 35 years ago and started explaining all the references, it would probably destroy them.

This really has the vibes of a sheltered 12 year old who just learned about the word ‘fuck’ and thinks it’s cool funny to keep saying it over and over again.

Alex Kurtzman isn’t a good judge of what makes Star Trek great. If I had to assess his interests based on the content he has worked on, it’s basically Romulans, Borg, Section 31, and very little interest in the core of the Star Trek experience.

Listen, Doug Jones isn’t getting in all that get-up to not have a subplot.

my username says ur wrong

The 32nd century setting is so much better for it, and if it had gone that route right from the start, they could have avoided SO many of the criticisms. Could have told the same stories, free of many of the issues that made them problems in the setting.

It was kind of funny where Jinraal was ‘I could just tell you where the weapon is, but where’s the fun in that.’ 

Absolutely. Cheap, ephemeral emotionality, shallow relationships and a nonsensical storyline. I stopped in season 2 and read these summaries sometimes just to see where the show has gone. Not far.

ive been doing that since season 2. 

at the end of it all, the only thing that matters, the only thing that will bring light in dark times, and save the day, is... Michael Burnham, Michael Burnham, Michael Burnham.

I’m glad we have these episode summaries so I no longer have to hate watch the show.

“ It just happens to be a distinctly unsubtle one in ways the show has only rarely dipped into being in the past.”

What this garbage show is about is cheap melodrama and explosions, and occasionally pretending like it’s about the same things previous Star Trek shows were about (exploration, social justice, etc.) and it will be very good when it goes into the dustbin of TV history.

This is one off the worst takes i have ever seen on the first movie.

No one gives a rats ass about that movie - just make a good ride.

This is also a central premise to the series as a whole, the ‘Dark Forest’ solution to the Fermi paradox. It’s a viable solution to the paradox certainly, but I wouldn’t put it terribly high on the list. As solutions go, I think it’s also rooted in a certain amount of cultural xenophobia.

But humans invented slideshows, so it’s debatable

I always get annoyed with questions like “Is the human race worth saving”. Of course it is, and while obviously far from perfect, if humans did become extinct then there would exist no possibility of growth and improvement.
